title: An overview of accounting and budgeting.
abstract: Accounting is inextricably linked with daily professional practice and commerce. No individual, organization, or business can survive without some understanding of the basic concepts of accounting. Having knowledge of fundamental concepts of accounting will relieve some of the pressures imposed by governmental regulatory agencies and legislative requirements, and assist healthcare workers in operating more effectively and competing more successfully.
