It serves as the foundation for preparing balance sheets, where assets are listed on one side and liabilities and shareholders' equity are listed on the other side. By following the accounting equation, companies can ensure that their financial statements accurately reflect their financial position.
3. Can the accounting equation be modified?
Ans. The accounting equation is a fundamental principle in accounting and cannot be modified.
