OBERMAYER CO., CINCINNATI, OHIO ] [Illustration: Accounting of an Executor, in the Form of an Account of Charge and Discharge ] REALIZATION AND LIQUIDATION ACCOUNTS =9.= A _realization and liquidation account_ is an account showing the result of the liquidation of a business or an estate. It is debited with the total assets as shown by the _balance sheet_ or _statement of affairs_, and is credited with all liabilities to outside creditors. The account is subsequently credited with the amounts realized on assets, and debited with liabilities liquidated together with the expenses of realization and cost of liquidation. Realization and liquidation accounts are frequently prepared in the form of an _account of charge and discharge_ as shown in the preceding pages for executor's accounts. STATEMENT OF AFFAIRS =10.= A statement of affairs is frequently confused with a balance sheet. This is because, like a balance sheet, a statement of affairs exhibits the resources and liabilities of a business. The difference lies in the fact that a statement of affairs is made up partly from information gained from the books and partly from information secured from other sources.
