Financial accounting is the branch of accounting focused on recording, summarizing, and reporting a company's financial transactions through standardized statements like the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. It follows established frameworks such as GAAP or IFRS so that external stakeholders (investors, regulators, creditors) can assess a company's financial position and performance. Accountants, auditors, and financial analysts rely on financial accounting principles to prepare and interpret these reports.
