In accounting, book value is the value of an asset according to its balance sheet account balance. For assets, the value is based on the original cost of the asset less any depreciation, amortization or impairment costs made against the asset. Traditionally, a company's book value is its minus intangible assets and liabilities. However, in practice, depending on the source of the calculation, book value may variably include goodwill, intangible assets, or both. The value inherent in its workforce, part of the intellectual capital of a company, is always ignored. When intangible assets and goodwill are explicitly excluded, the metric is often specified to be tangible book value.
In the United Kingdom, the term net asset value may refer to the book value of a company.
An asset's initial book value is its actual cash value or its acquisition cost. Cash assets are recorded or "booked" at actual cash value. Assets such as buildings, land and equipment are valued based on their acquisition cost, which includes the actual cash cost of the asset plus certain costs tied to the purchase of the asset, such as broker fees. Not all purchased items are recorded as assets; incidental supplies are recorded as expenses. Some assets might be recorded as current expenses for tax purposes. An example of this is assets purchased and expensed under Section 179 of the U.S. tax code.
Monthly or annual depreciation, amortization and depletion are used to reduce the book value of assets over time as they are "consumed" or used up in the process of obtaining revenue. These non-cash expenses are recorded in the accounting books after a trial balance is calculated to ensure that cash transactions have been recorded accurately. Depreciation is used to record the declining value of buildings and equipment over time. Land is not depreciated. Amortization is used to record the declining value of intangible assets such as patents. Depletion is used to record the consumption of natural resources.
Depreciation, amortization and depletion are recorded as expenses against a contra account.

Le goodwill (appelé aussi survaleur ou écart d'acquisition) représente la différence entre la valeur de marché et l'actif net du bilan d'une entreprise ; ou encore : le goodwill est un écart d'acquisition correspondant à l'excédent du coût d'acquisition, lors d'une prise de participation ou d'une fusion, sur la quote-part de l'acquéreur dans la juste valeur des actifs et passifs identifiables (selon la norme internationale IFRS 3).

Un dividende est un versement d'une entreprise à ses actionnaires. La distribution de dividendes revêt à la fois des aspects financiers et des aspects juridiques. Généralement, les théories économiques et financières sur les dividendes convergent internationalement, mais les modalités juridiques les concernant peuvent varier en profondeur d'un pays à un autre. À titre d'exemple, en France, ce sont les actionnaires réunis en assemblée générale qui décident du versement des dividendes, tandis qu'au Canada ce sont ordinairement les membres du conseil d'administration, sauf convention unanime des actionnaires ou disposition contraire des statuts.
