BASIC ACCOUNTING: ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS ODM

DEFINITION

“Accounting is the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and
events which are, in part at least, of financial character, and interpreting the results thereof.”
– American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)

“Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic information to permit informed judgment
and decision by users of the information.”
– American Accounting Association (AAA)

“Accounting is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about economic
entities, that is intended to be useful in making economic decision.”
– Accounting Standards Council (ASC),
Succeeded by Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC).

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ASSUMPTIONS

1. BUSINESS ENTITY CONCEPT – This concept assumes that a business enterprise is separate and distinct from the owner or
investor. It is assumed that in preparing the financial statements only the properties, liabilities, income and expenses of
a particular business are reported therein. Personal properties and liabilities of the owner are not included in the
business financial statements.

2. EXCHANGE PRICE OR COST – Assets should be recorded based on cost which is the amount exchanged at the time the
item was acquired. A machine with a list price of P50,000 which was purchased at a discount of P1,000 should be
recorded at P49,000. An equipment which was purchased at a price of P50,000 but could be purchased in another store
for P51,000 should be recorded at P50,000. Land costing 750,000 at the time it was acquired was purchased on
installment basis payable in 4 yearly installments of P200,000 or a total installment price of P800,000 should be
recorded at P750,000 which is the amount or value exchanged at the time the asset was acquired.

3. GOING CONCERN – This concept supports the Exchange price or Cost principle. Based on this assumption, it is expected
that the business is a continuing concern or that it has an indefinite existence. This is the reason why properties are
recognized at cost without regard to the change in their market values in subsequent periods.

4. OBJECTIVITY – This principle requires that financial data entered in the records must be verifiable and supported by
documents such as invoices, vouchers or official receipts.

5. ACCOUNTING PERIOD (PERIODICITY) – How often should the accountant prepare the financial statements specially since
it is assumed that the business is a continuing concern? It is understood that a complete and accurate financial picture of
the business can only be made at the end of its life. However, since that statement users need financial information on a
regular basis and the success of its business operation depends on financial information contained in the accounting
reports, then its life has to be divided into specific time intervals called accounting period.

6. UNIT OF MEASURE (MONETARY) – All business transactions are measured and recorded using only one unit of
measurement. Since money is used as a medium of exchange, it is therefore the most practical unit of measuring
financial data. At this point, it is worthwhile to note that in accounting, only data measurable in terms of money are
recognized and recorded in its books.

7. ACCRUAL PRINCIPLE
a. REVENUE RECOGNITION PRINCIPLE – Revenue is recognized when it is earned. For a service business, revenue is
earned when service has been rendered. For merchandising or manufacturing concern, revenue is earned when
the merchandise or product has been sold or delivered to the customer. Thus, service rendered in June but

Page 1 of 14 : BASIC ACCOUNTING: ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS orlando.manalang

 collected in July should be recorded as income in June. Note that, generally, collection whether is cash or in
property is not a requirement for recognizing revenue.

b. EXPENSE RECOGNITION PRINCIPLE – There can be no revenue earned without expenses being incurred. There are
three ways of recognizing expenses:
i. Expense is recognized when revenue is recognized because it is directly associated to it, meaning the expense
would not have been incurred if there was no revenue. Example, If a customer is in a far place and you have
deliver the goods he ordered, you have to spend for delivery expense.
ii. Resources or assets that will benefit the business over a number of years should be spread out as expense over
the years that will benefit from its use. Example, you bought a delivery truck for P50,000 and it is expected be
used by the company for 5 years. Depreciation expense of P10,000 should be recognized every year for five
years for using the delivery truck.
iii. Periodic expenses are necessary to operate the business such as salary of your employees, rent of your store,
telephone, light and water used. Most often the expenses in this category are incurred or used up by the
business by hour, day or month.

ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ASSETS – resources owned and controlled by the enterprise as a result of a past event and from which economic benefits are
expected to flow to the enterprise (BUSINESS RESOURCES, example: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, Inventory,
Prepaid Expenses, Office Supplies, Equipment, Machineries, Vehicles, Building, Land).

LIABILITIES – present obligations arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of
resources from the enterprise (BUSINESS OBLIGATIONS, example: Accounts Payable, Notes Payable, Accrued Expenses, Deferred
Income, Loans Payable, Mortgage Payable).

OWNER’S EQUITY – the residual right or interest of the owner in the enterprise net assets.

INCOME – increases in economic benefits during the period in the form of cash inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases
in liabilities that result in increases in equity, other than those resulting from contributions of equity participants. Revenues
represent the inflow of cash or other assets from clients and customers for services performed or for goods sold by the business.
(Example: Service Fee, Professional Fee, Sales)

EXPENSES – decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets or
incidences of liabilities that results in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants
(personal drawings of owner). (Example: Rent, Salaries, Utilities, Interest, Bad Debts, Depreciation).

ACCOUNTING PROCESS

1. Gathering Source Documents / Business Papers & Analyzing Business Transactions (ex. OR, Bills, Invoice, Voucher)
Analysis: Deciding whether the transaction must be recorded or not. Criterion:
a. There must be exchange of values – For every value received by the business there must be an equal value
parted with.
b. It must be between two parties – at least two parties are involved in the transaction.
c. It must be stated in terms of money – can be measured using one common measurement or denominator which
is money.

2. Journalizing – Making transaction entries into the Journal. (Journal – the book of original entry)

Ex. On January 1, 2012, Mr. O (the owner) invested the following to his business:
Cash 150,000, Computers 100,000, Building 5,000,000.

Note: Normal balance side of the elements (also, where the element-account increases)

3. Posting – the process of transferring records from Journal to Ledger. (Ledger – the book of final entry)

Basis for giving Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (the amount to be deducted from Gross Accounts Receivable to arrive at the
Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable)
• % of Sales – Income Statement approach (ex. The company provides 1% of Net Sales as Bad debts expense every year)
• % of Accounts Receivable – Balance Sheet approach (ex. The company provides allowance for bad debts as 2% of
Accounts Receivable)
• From aging of Accounts Receivable (Receivables are being categorized by days of past due and certain percentage of
probability of not collecting such accounts are applied to every category)
