Fiscal Revenue
Fiscal Revenue (or, simply, revenue; hereinafter, the Revenue) is an amount earned by performing services for customers or selling goods to customers; it can be in the form of cash or accounts receivable.
The Revenue can also refer to a group of financial accounts that represent sales. The Revenue is a subdivision of owner's equity. As the Revenue increases, owner's equity increases, and vice versa. Expenses and Sales Returns and Allowances are two most common adjusting accounts for the Revenue.
