Does every accounting transaction affect the income statement?

As shown above, some transactions will affect two balance sheet accounts (and no income statement). Entries to reclassify an expense (or revenue) will affect two income statement accounts.

Does every transaction affect both sides of the accounting equation?

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's Equity Double-entry accounting is a method of accounting that means each transaction affects both sides of the accounting equation. For every change there is in an asset account; there has to be an equal change to a related liability or shareholder equity account.

What affects balance sheet and income statement?

In essence, increases in revenue and gains as reported on the income statement cause stockholders' equity to increase on the balance sheet. In addition, increases in expenses and losses as reported on the income statement cause stockholders' equity to decrease on the income statement.

Does every transaction affect two accounts?

If a business buys raw material by paying cash, it will lead to an increase in the inventory (asset) while reducing cash capital (another asset). Because there are two or more accounts affected by every transaction carried out by a company, the accounting system is referred to as double-entry accounting.
