Correlation Analysis

One significant application area for the Oracle database is in accounting. Accounting is essentially the system of recording, analyzing, and reporting a business's financial activities. It tracks the money coming in (income) and going out (expenses), giving a clear picture of the financial health of the organization. 

• Recording transactions: This is where every financial movement is documented, like sales made or supplies purchased.
• Analyzing data: Accountants don't just record numbers; they interpret them. They identify trends, assess financial performance and measure profitability.
• Reporting results: The information is presented in financial statements like balance sheets and income statements. These reports are used by internal stakeholders (managers) and external ones (investors, lenders) to make informed decisions.

In simpler terms, accounting is like keeping score for your business. It helps you understand where you money goes, how much profit you're making, and whether you're on the right financial track.
