Thomas Jefferson University Financial Statements for Toyota Company Discussion

I’m working on a business plans question and need an explanation to help me understand better.

Accounting activity  we identified accounting practices as they relate to an element of organization. Take a moment to reflect on accounting practices in a business setting you are familiar with and discuss its three main financial statements. 

Explain why each statement is important and how accounting is an integral part of an organization.  If an organization has less than optimal accounting practices, how will that affect their business model?
