Accounting
is the language of business that reports financial data in the form of reports. These reports are also referred to as financial statements. There are four financial statements that are required by GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles): Income Statement, Statement of Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet and the Statement of Cash Flows.
