Synopsis

This book introduces a new perspective on double-entry bookkeeping, a traditional accounting system used to track financial transactions. The author contends that the matrix form of double entry, a visual representation of accounting data, reveals insights not apparent in the traditional ledger system. By organizing data into a matrix, the author demonstrates how to extract additional information and generate more detailed reports. This approach allows for increased customization and flexibility in financial analysis, making it easier to identify trends and patterns. The book explains the concepts of indexing, subclassification, and building blocks, which are key to understanding the matrix form. These concepts enable the creation of more informative and tailored financial statements, such as the income statement and funds flow statement. Overall, this book provides a fresh perspective on double-entry bookkeeping, highlighting its analytical potential and offering practical techniques to enhance the usefulness of financial data. By embracing the matrix form, accountants can gain a deeper understanding of their financial information and make more informed decisions.
