What are drawings?
Drawings are money or other assets taken out of a business. This might be by the owner or partner for personal use, or as dividends if the company has been made public.
Drawings are different from expenses or wages, which are business costs. Drawings are recorded as a reduction in assets and a reduction in the owner’s equity.
