<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
1.) Evaluates performance of business<\/b>
<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The operations and financial position of a business is dependent on the financial records for all companies. Accounting is a method to make one understand the status of their business in comparison to their competitors. Maintaining clean records will also help the business keep record of the expenses, upcoming debts, cross margin and will also help the business to compare its current financial growth from its previous financial growth.<\/o:p><\/font><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/div>\n
2.)\u00a0Statutory Compliance<\/b><\/o:p><\/b><\/font><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/div>\n
Accounting will inform the business that all types of liabilities like sales tax, income tax, pension funds, etc. are properly addressed.<\/o:p><\/font><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/div>\n
3.)\u00a0Creating Budget and future projections<\/b><\/font><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/font><\/o:p><\/div>\n
A budget or future projections can only be created if the current financial position is known to the business. And this financial position is determined by the financial records. Businesses tend to compare their previous financial year\u2019s profits to the current financial year. If the growth is in the increasing order then the budget can be fixed accordingly. This can only be done if a proper and regular clean accounting takes place.<\/font><\/div>\n
