Therefore, based on this, there always exists an accounting equation which states that the sum of all the assets is equal to the sum of all outside liabilities (referred as total liabilities) and
The above equation always holds good irrespective of the number of transactions handled by the business. Therefore, we can conclude that whenever there is one item (i.e., assets or total liabilities or owner’s equity) is missing for any reason.
