Classic transactions
Keystone conversation #3

This conversation covers the classic transactions that describe the essential business activities of all businesses. The transactions demonstrated are those from Version 7 of the Let's Talk Finance workshop, differing slightly from the Version 6 transactions.

The main changes are:

  • the example amounts are simpler,
  • equipment is purchased with cash and inventory on credit, which is the opposite in Version 6,
  • an accrued expense is included, and
  • there are 15 transactions instead of 16.

Extra

A common thinking error when people are thinking about financial statements is that "things" move from one place to another, rather than the more correct way of thinking about changes, where two separate elements either increase or decrease.

This fun hand-gesture and sound-effect vignette addresses this thinking error.
