Why do you have to know the accounting
equation?
It is essential in the business to ALWAYS know what is happening with your money.
The Accounting Equation is the best way to see what is happening in your business.
NOTE: one
account is
always
BANK.
 Let us work out some examples:
The owner deposit R10 000 to start the business
What must happen with this money? It will be deposited into the business bank account!
OWNER’S EQUITY
=
+R 10 000 (Capital)
Because the owner
increases his interest in the
business with R10 000.
ASSETS
-
+R 10 000 (Bank)
Because the R10 000 is
deposited into the business
bank account.
LIABILITIES
NOTHING CHANGE
Now, the owner will know that he has an interest of R 10 000 in the business and that the bank account has a
balance of R 10 000.
The accounting Equation balance. The left-hand side must be equal to the right-hand side.

NOTE: one
account is
always

Example : Drawings
The owner withdraw R1 000 for personal use.
What must happen with this money? It will be withdrawn from the business bank account.

-R 1 000 (Drawings)
Because the owner
decreases his interest in
the business by R1 000.
