• Matching principle: costs are matched to the income they produce within the same accounting period.
• Historical cost: assets are recorded at their original purchase price.

• Objectivity: objectivity means using documented evidence to support every entry.

At its core, accounting follows one simple equation: what you own equals what you owe plus what you have invested.

This equation means that every debit has an equal credit, so the books always balance.

When you buy equipment with cash, assets shift form but the total stays the same.

A private tutor can help you practise applying this equation to real transactions confidently.
