What is accounting, and what risks does proper management protect you from?

Accounting is a system that allows companies to accurately record, analyze, and present their financial transactions.

It provides a complete picture of what resources a business owns, what obligations it has, how much profit or expense it generates, and what its overall financial condition looks like.

This is why accounting is considered a crucial foundation for any company.

The main purpose of accounting is to correctly record financial processes, prepare financial statements, comply with tax and legal requirements, and ensure effective control over the company’s resources.

Proper accounting also helps predict potential problems, identify rising or declining expenses, and support management in making informed decisions that ensure stable business growth.

Why is accounting important?

For small businesses:

Small businesses often operate on limited budgets, so every lari matters.

Accounting helps small businesses:

• Avoid unnecessary expenses,

  
  

• Manage cash flow correctly,

  
  

• Reduce the risk of bankruptcy.

  
  

For medium-sized businesses:

Medium-sized companies handle a larger volume of operations.

At this level, it is essential to have:

• Data-driven growth strategies,

  
  

• Reliable reports for investors or banks,

  
  

• Proper management of salaries, contracts, and obligations.

  
  

For large companies:

In large organizations, accounting ensures:

• Financial stability,

  
  

• Risk management,

  
  

• Compliance with investors, regulators, and international standards.

  
  

What risks arise without proper accounting?

If a business does not maintain accurate accounting, serious risks emerge:

• Uncontrolled spending - money gets lost unnoticed

  
  

• Lack of a clear financial picture - management cannot identify the source of problems

  
  

• Non-compliance with the law - incorrect tax declarations, fines, account blocks

  
  

• Insolvency - mismanaged cash flow often leads to bankruptcy

  
  

These risks are especially common for small and medium-sized businesses whose owners or managers may not have the knowledge to effectively supervise accounting work.

In such cases, mistakes often become visible only when it’s too late  and the damage has already affected the business.

Professionally managed accounting significantly reduces these risks because the accountant works with a competent team, has access to shared expertise, and receives support when needed.

Their work is supervised by an experienced manager or senior accountant who ensures multi-level control and prevents errors.

When accounting is done properly, management has access to accurate financial data and can make decisions based on real, reliable information.

This helps improve financial planning, risk management, cost optimization, and strategic goal-setting.

The business gains the ability to clearly see where it is heading and what steps are necessary for stable growth.
