    The accounting equation is, Assets are equal to Liabilities plus Stockholders’ Equity. Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the business. Liabilities represent claims of creditors on the assets of a business. Stockholders’ equity represents the claims of owners on the assets of the business. This equity is divided into two parts: common stock and retained earnings. The balance sheet reports assets and claims to assets at one specific point in time. Claims to assets are subdivided into two categories: claims of creditors and claims of owners. The accounting equation must always balance. Each transaction has a dual effect on the equation. As an example if an individual asset is increased, there must be a corresponding decrease in another asset, or an increase in a specific liability, or an increase in stockholders’ equity.…

    ESES is aimed at improving responses under the commonwealth’s Disability Standards for Education 2005 (NSW Department of Education and Communities, 2012). Despite major changes in legislation in the 20th century there has been inadequate improvement in education for people with a disability in Australia and these students are falling behind as a result (Commonwealth Government, 2009; Pricewaterhouse Coopers, 2011).
