What is Accounting?
Accounting is the process of recording financial transactions pertaining to a business. Businesses use accounting to
keep their financial information organized which help in the effective management of business.
The accounting process includes summarizing, analyzing and reporting these transactions to oversight agencies,
regulators and tax collection entities.
What are Accounts?
Accounts are names and numbers that you create to track those five primary things in an accounting system those five
things have different names
Assets – things you owned
Liability – the money you owe
Income- Money you receive
Expense – money you spend
Equity- your overall worth
Assets
Anything of monetary value owned by a person or business. Assets are classed as capital/fixed, current, tangible or
intangible and expressed in terms of their cash value on financial statements
Tangible assets are those tangible physical assets acquired to carry on the business of a company with a life
exceeding one year. It includes money, land, buildings, investments, inventory, cars, trucks, boats, or other
valuables.
Intangibles such as goodwill are also considered to be assets. client lists
Examples of Intangible assets franchise agreements, favorable finance or lease agreements, brand names,
distribution networks, proprietary processes or technology (or anything protected by copyright), supplier
contracts, skilled employees
PERMANENT ACCOUNTS
these accounts are permanent in a sense that their balances remain intact from one accounting period to another.
Examples: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Loans Payable and Capital
Accrued income
income which has been earned but not yet received.
Income must be recorded in the accounting period in which it is earned. Therefore, accrued income must be
recognized in the accounting period in which it arises rather than in the subsequent period in which it will be
received.
Prepaid asset
an expense that has already been paid for, but which has not yet been consumed. The concept most
commonly applies to administrative activities, such as prepaid rent or prepaid advertising.
A prepaid asset appears as a current asset on an organization's balance sheet, assuming that it is expected to be
consumed within one year. Once the asset has been consumed, it is charged to expense.
CONTRA ASSETS
• Contra assets are those accounts that are presented under the assets portion of the SFP but are reductions to the company’s
assets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra asset to Accounts Receivable. This represents the estimated amount that the company
may not be able to collect from delinquent customers.
Accumulated Depreciation is a contra asset to the company’s Property, Plant and Equipment. This account represents the total
amount of depreciation booked against the fixed assets of the company.
Liability
A liability is typically an amount owed by a company to a supplier, bank, lender, or other provider of goods,
services, or loans. Liabilities can be listed under accounts payable, and are credited in the double entry
bookkeeping method of managing accounts.
Unearned income
income from investments and other sources which is unrelated to employment. Examples of unearned income
include interest from savings accounts, bond interest, alimony, and dividends from stock. Unearned income,
known as a "passive source of income," is income not acquired through work
Current assets and current liabilities are also called short term assets and shot term liabilities
Current Asset
Assets that can be realized (collected, sold, used up) within one year after year-end date.
Examples include Cash, Accounts Receivable, Merchandise Inventory, Prepaid Expense, etc.
Current Liabilities
Liabilities that fall due (paid, recognized as revenue) within one year after year-end date.
Examples include Notes Payable, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses (example: Utilities Payable), Unearned
Income, etc.
Non-Current assets and Non-Current liabilities are also called long term assets and long term liabilities
Noncurrent Assets – Assets that cannot be realized (collected, sold, used up) one year after yearend date.
Examples include Property, Plant and Equipment (equipment, furniture, building, land), Long Term investments,
Intangible Assets etc.
Noncurrent Liabilities – Liabilities that do not fall due (paid, recognized as revenue) within one year after year-
end date. Examples include Loans Payable, Mortgage Payable, etc.
Equity
is typically referred to as shareholder equity which represents the amount of money that would be returned to a
company’s shareholders if all of the assets were liquidated and all of the company's debt was paid off.
Report form
A balance sheet is
a balance sheet that
presents asset, liability,
and equity accounts in a
vertical format.
Account form
A financial statement
format where the assets
are reported on the left
side and the liabilities
and equity are reported
on the right side
a. Emphasize that the two
are only formats and will
yield the same amount of
total assets, liabilities and
equity
Important matters:
a. Without the SFP, the company cannot know if it truly owns anything because in case of bankruptcy, liabilities are paid first.
- Small businesses don’t usually account for their assets and liabilities as long as the owners see that cash is coming in. They
sometimes forget that when liabilities become due, if they don’t have enough current assets to be able to pay those liabilities, then they
can get in trouble with their debts.

Revenues
Fees earned from providing services and the amounts of merchandise sold. Often the term income is used instead of
revenues.
• Examples of revenue accounts include: Sales, Service Revenues, Fees Earned, Interest Revenue, Interest Income.
Expense
Expenses associated with the main activity of the business are referred to as operating expenses. Expenses associated with
a peripheral activity are non-operating or other expenses.
• Example a retailer's interest expense is a non-operating expense. A bank's interest expense is an operating
expense.
Types of Business
1. Service Business
A company that provides certain professional support to its clients.
Examples:
consulting, accounting, transportation, cleaning, hospitality, traveling or maintenance,
2. Merchandise Business

Accrued expense
is expense which has been incurred but not yet paid.
Single-step
A single-step income
statement is one of two commonly used formats for the income statement or profit and loss statement. The single-step
iii.Revenues less Expenses. Net income for a positive result and net loss for a negative result
Multiple-step
• An income statement that has more than one subtraction in arriving at net income. An income statement showing
gross profit is an indication it is a multiple-step income statement.
i. First part is Sales This is the total amount of revenue that the company was able to generate from selling products
ii. Second part compose of contra revenue – called contra because it is on the opposite side of the sales account. The sales account is
on the credit side while the reductions to sales accounts are on the debit side. This is “contrary” to the normal balance of the sales or
revenue accounts.
ii.i. Sales returns – This account is debited in order to record returns of customers or allowances for such returns.
Returns occur when customers return their products for reasons such as but not limited to defects or change of preference.
ii.ii.Sales discount – This is where discounts given to customers who pay early are recorded. Also known as cash
discount. This is different from trade discounts which are given when customers buy in bulk. Sales discount is awarded to customers
who pay earlier or before the deadline.
iii. Sales less Sales returns and Sales discount is Net Sales
iv. Third part is Cost of Goods Sold – This account represents the actual cost of merchandise that the company was able to sell during
the year.
iv.i. Beginning inventory – This is the amount of inventory at the beginning of the accounting period. This is also
the amount of ending inventory from the previous period.
iv.ii.i.ii.Contra Purchases –An account that is credited being “contrary” to the normal balance of
Purchases account.
iv.ii.i.ii.i.Purchase discount – Account used to record early payments by the company to the
suppliers of merchandise. This is how buyers see a sales discount given to them by a supplier.
iv.ii.ii.Freight In – This account is used to record transportation costs of merchandise purchased by the
company. Called freight in because this is recorded when goods are transported into the company.
iv.iii.Add Beginning inventory and Net cost of Purchases to get Cost of Goods Available for Sale
iv.iv.Ending inventory – amount if inventory presented in the Statement of Financial Position. Total cost
of inventory unsold at the end of the accounting cycle.
vii. Fifth Part is Selling Expenses – These expenses are those that are directly related to the main purpose of a merchandising
business: the sale and delivery of merchandise. This does not include cost of goods sold and contra revenue accounts.
viii. Gross Profit less General and Administrative Expenses less Selling Expenses is Net Income for a positive result while Net Loss
for a negative result
1. How a company can earn without having cash and lose even with lots of cash.
a. Company can still have net income without cash transactions due to accrued income
- A sari-sari store who sells a lot of merchandise but majority of the sales are on credit. High net income, low cash
balance.
b. Company can still have net loss with a lot of cash revenues due to depreciation and accrued expense - We always see a
lot of people buying from Jollibee/Mcdo using cash but a new branch can still have net loss due to the depreciation
expense of its building/equipment.
2. Other important matters:
a. Without the SCI, the company cannot truly know if it is earning.
Example:
- Small businesses don’t usually account for their revenues and expenses as long as the owners see that cash is coming in.
They sometimes forget that equipment is depreciated and some expenses are accrued.
b. Importance of the format:
i. Single-Step vs Multi-Step and why is single-step more often used in service companies while multi-step is more
often used in merchandising companies (service companies don’t have inventories)
ii. Use of reduction to sales and contra purchases (contra accounts are used to easily determine those accounts that
are directly connected to sales and purchases. These can also be used as a determinant of quality –sales returns and
purchase returns)
iii. Separation of the General and Administrative Expenses with the Selling Expenses (companies can know how to
reduce expenses and increase net income by pin pointing which expense is very high)

Accrual - the accumulation or increase of something over time, especially payments or benefits.
Depreciation - is an accounting method of allocating the cost of a tangible or physical asset over its useful life
or life expectancy.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT – Provides an analysis of inflows and/or outflows of cash from/to operating,
investing and financing activities (This statement shows cash transactions only compared to the SCI which
follows the accrual principle.
Importance: The CFS provides the net change in the cash balance of a company for a period. This helps owners
see if their revenues are actually translated to cash collections or if they have enough cash inflows in order to pay
any maturing liabilities.
Therefore: Collections (receipts from customers) = Beginning Accounts Receivable + Net Sales or Net Revenue –Ending Accounts
Receivable
Ending Accounts Payable and Ending Accrued Salaries Expense = Beginning Accounts Payable + Beginning Accrued Salaries
Expense + Net Purchases + Salaries Expense - Payments
Therefore: Payments = Beginning Accounts Payable + Beginning Accrued Salaries Expense + Net Purchases + Salaries Expense –
Payments
Direct – The operating cash flow section of the CFS under the direct method would show each major class of
gross cash receipts and gross cash payments
Indirect – The operating cash flow section of the CFS under the indirect method will reconcile the net
income/loss of the company with the total cash flows generated/used in operating activities by adjusting the net
income/loss for effects of non-cash transactions
Emphasize that the two are only approaches and will yield the same amount of cash flow from operating activities. Note that the
Investing and Financing sections of the CFS are the same under the two approaches.
Net change in cash or net cash flow (increase/decrease) – The net amount of change in cash whether it is an
increase or decrease for the current period. The total change brought by operating, investing and financing
activities.
Beginning Cash Balance – The balance of the cash account at the beginning of the accounting period.
Ending Cash Balance – The balance of the cash account at the end of the accounting period computed using the
beginning balance plus the net change in cash for the current period.
How a company can earn a lot, have numerous assets and yet have very small equities.
Company can still have a high level of cash balance with net loss due to non-cash expenses such as depreciation and accrual of
expenses
a. Discuss that without the CFS, the company cannot know if it can pay its upcoming liabilities or continue operations due to some
expenses having no credit terms, thus cash is needed before a transaction can occur.
b. i. Direct approach provides information regarding the actual cash transactions generated/used in operations
b. ii. Indirect approach provides information regarding non-cash transactions during the year and shows the difference between the net
income/loss of the company and the cash generated/ used in operations
c. Discuss that knowing the cash flow of the company or the cash flow of their personal lives can help the learners reduce unnecessary
outflows and increase inflows to make sure that at the end of each period, the company or the learner can have a net increase in cash.
e. Cash received from sale of furniture (company’s main line of business is not related to furniture)
f. Depreciation expense
2. Juana’s sari-sari store had the following transactions during the year:
Compute for the net cash flow generated by/used in operating activities
Activity # 5
1. Prepare a Cash Flow Statement.
Juana’s sari-sari store had the following transactions during the year:
2. Prepare the Cash Flow Statement of Teresa’s Delivery Services using the following:
- Horizontal analysis
- Vertical analysis
- Financial ratios
Horizontal analysis
also called trend analysis, is a technique for evaluating a series of financial statement data over a period of time with the purpose
of determining the increase or decrease that has taken .
This will reveal the behavior of the account over time. Is it increasing, decreasing or not moving? What is the magnitude of the
change? Also, what is the relative change in the balances of the account over time?
- All line items on the FS may be subjected to horizontal analysis. - Only the simple year-on-year (Y-o-Y)grow this covered in
this lesson.
- Changes can be expressed in monetary value (peso) and percentages computed by using the following formulas:
• Example:
✓This is evaluated as follows: Sales increased by P75,000. This represents growth of 42.86% from 2013 levels.
Vertical analysis,
also called common-size analysis, is a technique that expresses each financial statement item as a percentage of a base amount
• From the common-size SFP, the analyst can infer the composition of assets and the company’s financing mix.
• Example:
Activity # 6
Prepare Vertical Analysis
Profitability ratios
measure the ability of the company to generate income from the use of its assets and invested capital as well as control its
cost. The following are the commonly used profitability ratios:
- Gross profit ratio reports the peso value of the gross profit earned for every peso of sales. We can infer the average
pricing policy from the gross profit margin.
- Operating income ratio expresses operating income as a percentage of sales. It measures the percentage of profit
earned from each peso of sales in the company’s core business operations (Horngren et.al. 2013). A company with a high
operating income ratio may imply a lean operation and have low operating expenses. Maximizing operating income
depends on keeping operating costs as low as possible (Horngren et.al. 2013).
- Net profit ratio relates the peso value of the net income earned to every peso of sales. This shows how much profit will
go to the owner for every peso of sales made.
- Return on asset(ROA) measures the peso value of income generated by employing the company’s assets. It is viewed
as an interest rate or a form of yield on asset investment. The numerator of ROA is net income. However, net income is
profit for the shareholders. On the other hand, asset is allocated to both creditors and shareholders. Some analyst prefers to
use earnings before interest and taxes instead of net income. There are also two acceptable denominators for ROA –
ending balance of total assets or average of total assets. Average assets is computed as beginning balance + ending
balance divided by 2.
- Return on equity(ROE) measures the return (net income) generated by the owner’s capital invested in the business.
Similar to ROA, the denominator of ROE may also be total equity or average equity.
Acitvity # 7
a. Compute for the company’s profitability and operating efficiency ratios for 2014.
b. Compute for the financial health ratios of the company in 2014 and 2013.
A. Savings Accounts
• These are intended to provide an incentive for the depositor to save money.
• The depositor can make deposits and withdrawals using the form provided by the bank.
• Banks usually pay an interest rate that is higher than a checking account or a current account.
• Some savings accounts have a passbook, in which transactions are logged in a small booklet that the
depositor keep
• Some savings accounts charge a fee if the balance falls below a specified minimum
Withdrawal Slip
*Without a withdrawal slip, the bank will not allow you to get money from your account. The required information in the withdrawal
slip are:
• Account Number – the unique identifier given by the bank for every account maintained
• Currency
• Amount to be withdrawn - the amount that the depositor wishes to withdraw from his account. The amounts in words and in figures
are indicated.
• Signature of the Depositor – this is the most important part in the withdrawal slip. The signature is a proof that the depositor is
authorizing the bank to get money from his account. Usually, the bank compares the signature in the withdrawal slip against the
signature in the bank records submitted during the opening of the account.
There are instances that the depositor cannot attend personally to withdraw the funds, he may authorize a representative by indicating
the name of the representative in the space provided and the representative must sign. There is a need for the representative to bring a
valid identification card upon withdrawal otherwise the bank will not approval the withdrawal.
• Account Name – this is the complete name of the depositor that is reflected in the records of the bank. If it has a pass book, the
account name is indicated on first page inside the passbook.
• Account Number – this is a unique identifier of the account maintained by the depositor.
• Date of Deposit
• Type of Account
• Currency
• Amount in words and in figures – the amount that the depositor wishes to put into his account. The amount to be deposited maybe in
form of cash or check. If it is a cash deposit, the breakdown of the cash is usually listed in the deposit slip if it is a check deposit, the
details of the checks are indicated in the deposit slip, for example: Issuing Bank, Address of the Issuing Bank, date of the check and
the amount.
The following are the parties involved in a transaction that uses check as medium of exchange:
• Drawee, the bank or other financial institution where the cheque can be presented for payment.
• NSF - (Not Sufficient Fund) – Banks also use a debit memorandum when a deposited check from a customer “bounces” because of
insufficient funds. Nowadays bank refer to this as DAIF (Drawn Against Insufficient Fund) or DAUD (Drawn Against Uncleared
Deposits)
As part of control, the bank statement received from the bank is compared with the accounting records of the business. This process
is called bank reconciliation. Bank reconciliation will be discussed in the succeeding chapters.
Together with the bank statements, the banks will include the copies of checks cleared or paid by the bank for that particular month.
• Gifts
• Payment of supplies
