Organization: a collection of individuals pursuing the same goal. There are 2 types of organizations in society: business entities (sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations) and non-business entities (government entities [federal government and its agencies, and provincial/municipal governments and their agencies], and private organizations [hospitals, universities, cooperatives]) The 3 types are sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Sole proprietorships is owned by a single owner (usually small businesses). The owner is also usually the operator as well. Since they are the same person they must keep their personal lives and business lives separate. Economic entity concept states that a single identifiable unit must be accounted for in all situations, meaning business items should be kept in one area and personal in another area. Partnerships is a business owned by 2 or more individuals (usually sole proprietorships that expand). In order for this arrangement to occur, these partners often create legal documents to divvy the pay and income of the business.
