In accounting, assets are the resources that a company requires in order to run and grow its business. Which are resources owned and controlled by the company. Assets are divided into two categories: Current Assets and Non-Current Assets.

Current Assets

Current assets are the resources that a business requires to run its day-to-day operations and pay its current expenses, and they are called short-term assets since they typically converted to cash within a firm’s fiscal year. Typically, current assets are listed at their current or market value on the balance sheet.

Current assets may include items such as:
