There are both good responsibilities like assets (cash, accounts receivable, inventory, buildings and patents); also there are liabilities (accounts payable, taxes payable, mortgage payable and unearned revenue) which can lose a business’s value and/or create a shut down. “To make good business decisions, you need to understand humans. Although there may be individual exceptions, we...
