This document provides an overview of the key financial statements used in accounting: the opening and closing balance sheets, income statement, and cash flow statement. The balance sheet lists assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity on the opening and closing dates. The income statement tracks revenue, expenses, and net income over a period. The cash flow statement reconciles the net income figure to the actual change in cash and cash equivalents during the period by accounting for non-cash items and cash movements between operating, investing, and financing activities.
