Why is accounting needed?
Accounting is required -
1. To know the profit or loss - In any business or organization, there is a constant flow of money. That means money comes in and money is spent in running that business or organization. It is only because of accounting that we come to know how much profit and loss is being incurred in running that business or organization.
2. To pay tax - If we are running any business or organization, it is not limited to just profit and loss but we also have to pay tax to the government. For that we need accounting so that correct accounts can be maintained and correct data and proof can be shown.
3. To plan for the future - To run and advance any business or organization, it is very important to know where the expenditure is more and where the income and profit is more. All this can be understood only with the help of accounting and a good plan can be made to advance that business or organization in the future.
4.To avoid fraud and mistakes - If you are doing any work like running a shop, doing any big business or running any small or big organization. If you keep daily accounts then small or big mistakes are caught quickly. Due to this no employee or partner can commit fraud.
5. To give reports to investors and banks - Often to run a business, there is a need to take a loan and take money from investors. For this, they have to show the financial report of that business which can be easily done through accounting.
If said in simple and straight words then accounting is the mirror of any business in which its financial position is clearly visible.
