AccountantsAccountants use the work done by bookkeepers to produce and analyze financial reports. Although accounting follows the same principles and rules as bookkeeping, an accountant can design a system that will capture all of the details necessary to satisfy the needs of the business managerial, financial reporting, projection, analysis, and tax reporting. A good accountant will create a system of financial reporting that gives a complete picture of a business. (wiki)

Accounting Accounting is the art of recording, summarizing, reporting, and analyzing financial transactions.
Accountancy is the process of communicating financial information about a business entity to users such as shareholders, owners, partners and managers. The communication is generally in the form of financial statements that show in money terms the economic resources under the control of management; the art lies in selecting the information that is relevant to the user.

Accrual vs. Cash
In accrual basis accounting, income is reported in the fiscal period it is earned, regardless of when it is received, and expenses are deducted in the fiscal period they are incurred, whether they are paid or not. In other words, using accrual basis accounting, you record both revenues and expenses when they occur. Use for all medium and larges businesses.
In cash basis accounting, revenues are recorded when cash is actually received and expenses are recorded when they are actually paid (no matter when they were actually invoiced). Mostly use by small businesses like mom and dad.

Accounting Equation
The equation’s three parts are explained as follows:
Assets = what the business has or owns (equipment, supplies, cash, accounts receivable)
Liabilities = what the business owes outsiders (bank loan, accounts payable)
Owner’s Equity = what the owner owns (investment and business profit)
