    Hi sir,

    Is there any difference between economic resources and claim to economic resources? Can I say that entity’s economic resources is asset whereas claim to economic resources
    = asset + liability?

    Thank you and have a nice day!

    Hi,

    Yes, the economic resources are what we own/control, i.e. assets, and the claims on those economic resources are the claims the creditors and shareholders have over those assets, i.e. equity and liabilities.

    Thanks
