Why
Do
We
Need
Accounting?
So why do we need accounting?

Asking that question of an accountant is
like asking a farmer why we need rain. We
need accounting because it’s the only way
for business to grow and flourish.
Accounting is the backbone of the
business financial world. After all,
accounting was created in response to the
development of trade and commerce during
the medieval times.
Accounting is the conscious of the

business world. When handled with care
and with respect, it performs as
expected. When abuse occurs, and the
system is circumvented or overridden
because of dishonesty and greed, it
doesn’t work correctly. Accounting is
much like all other systems in place,
they are only as good as the people using
them.

ACCOUNTING is a service activity. It’s function is to provide

quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about economic
entities that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions.
“Language of business”
Accounting as science and art

 Accounting is a social science with a body of knowledge Fixed, inflexible,
organized and
which has been systematically gathered, classified, and systematic
organized. It is influenced by, and interacts with,
economic, social and political environments.
 Accounting is a practical art which requires the use of creative skill
and judgment. Opinionated, flexible and
subjective
Accounting as an information system
 Accounting identifies and measures economic activities, processes
information into financial reports and communicates these reports to
decision makers.
Economic Activities and their classification

 Production – the process of converting economic resources into
outputs of goods and services that are intended to have
greater utility than the required inputs.
 Exchange – the process of trading resources or obligations for

other resources or obligation.
 Income distribution - the process of allocating rights to the

use of output among individuals and groups in society.
 Consumption – the process of using the final output of the

production process.
 Investment – the process of using current inputs to increase

the stock of resources available for output as opposed to
immediately consumable output.
 Savings – the process by which individuals and groups set aside

rights to present consumption in exchange for rights to future
consumption.
BASIC PURPOSE OF ACCOUNTING: To provide quantitative information about

economic entities intended to be useful in making economic decisions.
TYPES OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ACCOUNTING

1. Quantitative information – expressed in numbers, quantities or units.
2. Qualitative information – expressed in words or descriptive form
3. Financial information – expressed in terms of money
2|AC101 SESSION 1

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
ECONOMIC ENTITY VS BUSINESS ENTITY
 Economic entity – is a separately identifiable combination of persons

and property that uses or controls economic or scarce resources to
achieve certain goals or objectives. Scarce resources have no
significant characteristics.
o Not-for-profit or non-profit entity is one that carries out some
socially desirable needs of the community or its members whose
activities are not directed towards making profit.
o Business entity is an entity that produces and distributes goods
or services primarily for profit.
FUNCTIONS OF ACCOUNTING
 Identification. The accounting process of recognition or non-

recognition of business activities as accountable events or whether has
accounting relevance.
One that is quantifiable and has an effect on assets, liabilities and

equity. This also known as economic activity, which is the subject
matter of accounting.
Criteria for accountable event

1. It must affect a financial element of accounting (increasing
or decreasing asset, liability or equity)
2. It is a result of a past activity
3. Its cost can be measured reliably.
 Measurement. The accounting process of assigning of peso amounts or

numbers to the economic transactions and events. The unit of measure of
accounting is money, expressed in prices.
 Communication. The accounting process of preparing and distributing

accounting reports to potential users of accounting information and
interpreting the significance of this processed information.
o Recording. the process of systematically committing to writing

business transactions and events after they have been identified
and measured, in books of account in a systematic and
chronological manner according to accounting rules.
o Classifying. The grouping of similar and interrelated items into

their respective classes.
o Summarizing. Putting together or expressing in condensed or brief

form the recorded and classified statements in financial
statements.

BRANCHES OF ACCOUNTING/AREA OF SPECIALIZATION
1. Financial Accounting. The recording of transactions, preparation of

financial statements and communication of financial information to
external user groups. Focuses on general purpose reports.
2. Auditing. The examination of financial statements by independent

certified public accountant for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the fairness of presentation of financial statements.
3. Management Accounting. Incorporates cost accounting data and adapts

them for specific decisions which management may be called upon to
make. A management accounting system incorporates all types of
financial and non-financial information from a wide range of sources.
4. Financial Management. Relatively new branch of accounting that has been

grown rapidly over the last 35 years. Financial managers are
responsible for setting financial objectives, making plans based on
those objectives, obtaining the finance needed to achieve the plans,
and generally safeguarding all the financial resources of the entity.
5. Taxation / Tax accounting. Involves the preparation of tax returns and

rendering of tax advice, such as determination of tax consequences of
certain proposed business endeavors.
6. Government Accounting. Accounting for the national government and its

instrumentalities, focusing attention on the custody of public funds
and the purpose or purposes to which such funds are committed.
7. Fiduciary Accounting. Handling of accounts managed by a person

entrusted with the custody and management of property for the benefit
of another.
8. Social Responsibility. Reporting of programs and projects that have to

do with the upliftment of the welfare of the people of a community or
of the nation.
9. Environmental Accounting. The area of accounting that focuses on

programs, activities and projects that are focused care for Mother
Earth.
One example of this is carbon accounting such as “Cap and

Scheme”, which is a process of encouraging reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions.
10. Price-level Accounting. Otherwise known as Accounting for

Hyperinflationary Economies – simply defined, is accounting that
recognizes in the financial statements changes in the purchasing power
of money.

USERS OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
 Internal Users are those who make decisions directly affecting the
internal operations of the business.
o Managers are directly involved in operation of the business. They
need accounting data to improve the efficiency and effective of
the organization.
o Employees use financial data to assess whether they are receiving

the right compensation and to check if they bargain for higher
remuneration, retirement benefits and employment opportunities.
o Officers, also called as the company executives who are

interested to know if the company is doing well in its operation
so they can plan for possible expansion or branching out to widen
its geographical and demographic market.
the act of making money
o Internal Auditors, there role is to protect and by making people believe
safeguard the resources of the company against something which is not
fraud or irregularities. true.
 External users are individuals or enterprises that have financial

interest in the business but they are not involved in the day
activities of the organization. These are:
o Investors (The providers of risk capital) are interested in

information which enables them to assess the ability of the
enterprise to pay dividends. They need information on whether
they should buy, hold or sell their shares in.
o Lenders are interested in information that enables them to

determine whether their loans, and their interest attaching to
them will be paid when due.
o Suppliers and other trade creditors are interested in information

that enables them to determine whether amount owing to them will
be paid when due.
o Customers are interested in the quality of goods and services

that they are getting from the entity.
o Government and their agencies require information in order to

regulate the activities of the enterprise, determine taxation
policies and as a basis for national income and similar
activities,

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
o Public are assisted by information through Financial statements

about the trend and recent developments in the prosperity of the
enterprise and the range of its activities.
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
Entity Concept
The most basic concept in accounting is the entity concept. An
accounting entity is an organization or a section of an organization that
stands apart from other organizations and individuals as a separate economic
unit. Simply put, the transactions of different entities should not be
accounted for together. Each entity should be evaluated separately.
Periodicity Concept
An entity’s life can be meaningfully subdivided into equal time periods
for reporting purposes.
For the purpose of reporting to outsiders, one year is the usual
accounting period. Luca Pacioli, the first author of an accounting text,
wrote in 1494: “Books should be closed each year, especially in a
partnership, because frequent accounting makes for long friendship.”
Calendar Year – starts in January and ends in December.

Fiscal Year – starts in any month and ends after 12 months.
Stable Monetary Unit Concept
The Philippine Peso is a reasonable unit of
measure and that its purchasing power is relatively a greater increase in the supply
of money or credit than in the
stable. This is the basis for ignoring the effects of
production of goods and
inflation in the accounting records. services, resulting in higher
prices and a fall in the
purchasing power of money.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Accounting practices follow certain guidelines. The set of guidelines and

procedures that constitute acceptable accounting practice at a given time is
GAAP, which stands for generally accepted accounting principles. In order to
generate information that is useful to the users of financial statements,
accountants rely upon the following principles.
Objectivity Principle. Accounting records and statements are based on the

most reliable data available so that they will be as accurate and as useful
as possible. Reliable data are verifiable when they can be confirmed by
independent observers.
the total cost of
Historical Cost. This principle states that acquired asset producing or buying an
should be recorded at their actual cost and not at what item, which may
management thinks they are worth as at reporting date. include, e.g., its price
plus the cost of
delivery or storage.
6|AC101 SESSION 1

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
Revenue Recognition Principle. Revenue is to be recognized in the accounting

period when goods are delivered or services are rendered or performed.
Expense Recognition Principle. Expenses should be recognized in the

accounting period in which goods and services are used up to produce revenue
and not when the entity pays for those goods and services.
Adequate Disclosure. Requires that all relevant information that would affect
the user’s understanding and assessment of the accounting entity be disclosed
in the financial statements.
Materiality. Financial reporting is only concerned with information that is

significant enough to affect evaluations and decisions. Materiality depends
on the size and nature of the item judged in the particular circumstances of
its omission.
Consistency Principle. The firms should use the same accounting method from
period to period to achieve comparability over time within a single
enterprise. However, changes are permitted if justifiable and disclosed in
the financial statements.
UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS
Accrual Basis
Financial Statements are prepared on the accrual on the accrual basis
of accounting and not as cash or its equivalent is received or paid. Under
this assumption, the effects of transactions and other events are recognized
when they occur and they are recorded in the accounting records and reported
in the financial statements of the periods to why they relate.
In short, transactions are recognized when “Revenue as they earned, even not yet
received and; Expenses as they incurred, even not yet paid.
In cash basis accounting, however, does not record a transaction until cash
is received or paid. Generally, cash receipts are treated as revenues and cash payments
as expenses.
Going Concern
Financial statements are normally prepared on the assumption that an
enterprise is a going concern and will continue in operation for a
foreseeable future. It is assumed therefore that the enterprise has neither
the intention nor the need to liquidate its operations.

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
FORMS OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
 Sole Proprietorship. This business organization has a single owner

called the proprietor who generally is also manager. It tends to be
small service-type (e.g. physicians, lawyers and accountants) business
and retail establishments. The owner receives all profits, absorbs all
losses and is solely responsible for all debts of the business. From
the accounting viewpoint, the sole proprietorship is distinct from its
proprietor. Thus, the accounting records do not include proprietor’s
personal financial records.
 Partnership. A business owned and operated by two or more persons who

bind themselves to contribute money, property or industry to a common
fund, with the intention of dividing the profits among themselves. Each
partner is personally liable for any debt incurred by the partnership,
except limited partner.
 Corporation. A business owned by its stockholders. It is an artificial

being created by operation of law, having the rights of succession and
the powers, attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or
incident to its existence. The stockholders are not personally liable
for the corporation’s debt.
PURPOSE OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
 Service companies perform services for a fee (e.g. law firms,

accounting and law firms, stock brokerage, beauty salons and
recruitment agencies)
 Merchandising companies purchase goods that are ready for sale and then
sell these to customers (e.g. car dealers, clothing stores and
supermarkets)
 Manufacturing companies buy raw materials, convert them into products

and then sell the products to other companies or to final consumers
(e.g. paper mills, steel mills, car manufacturers and drug
manufacturers)
MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSME)
 Micro Enterprises are those with assets, before financing of P 3

million or less and employ not more than nine (9) workers.
 Small Enterprises are those with assets, before financing of above P 3

million to P 15 million and employ 10 to 99 workers.
8|AC101 SESSION 1

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
 Medium Enterprises are those with assets, before financing of above P15
million to P100 million and employ 100 to 199 workers.
ACTIVITIES IN BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
 Operating Activities are the principal activities of the enterprise.

They are the transactions and events that enter into the determination
of profit and loss. E.g.:
o Sale of services
o Purchase of supplies
o Payment of various expenses like salaries and other benefits to
employees, utilities, taxes and repairs and maintenance,
insurance, transportation and gasoline expense.
 Investing Activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term

assets and other investments. E.g.:
o Purchase of equipment, furniture, automobile and land
o Cost of developing and constructing office or building
o Sale of used fixed assets
o Loans and advances to other parties
o Investments in equity or debt instruments
 Financing Activities are activities that result in charges in the size

and composition of the contributed equity and borrowings of the
enterprise. E.g.:
o Cash proceeds from issuing shares of stocks by a corporation
o Cash proceeds and repayment of bank loans and other long-term
barrowings.

BASIC CONSIDERATION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Understand and explain the
objective and qualitative
characteristics of financial
statements.
 Distinguish the elements of
financial statements, its
recognition and measurements.
 Learn and apply the principle of
Accounting Equation, the rule of
debits and credits.
 Understand Accounting events and

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OBJECTIVES
Provide information about the financial position, performance and
changes in financial position of an entity that is useful to a wide range of
users in making economic decisions.
Financial statements prepared for this purpose:
 Meet the common needs of most users
 Also show the results of the stewardship* of management, or
accountability of management for the resources entrusted to it.
 Do not, however, provide all the information that users may need
to make decisions since they largely portray the financial
effects of past events and do not necessarily provide non-
financial information.
*e.g. in prev. times, it is the one employed by a large household or estate

to manage domestic concerns such as supervision of servants, collection of
rents and keeping of accounts.
QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Fundamental qualitative characteristics

a. Relevance
b. Faithful Representation
B. Enhancing Qualitative characteristics

a. Comparability
b. Verifiability
c. Timeliness
RELEVANCE
Relevant financial information is capable of making a difference in the
decision made by users, influences the economic decisions of users by helping
them to evaluate, past, present, or future events or confirming, or
correcting, their past evaluations.
a. Predictive value. Financial information has predictive value if it can

be used as input to processes employed by users to predict future
outcomes. For e.g. information about financial position and past
performance is frequently used in predicting wages payments, and the
ability of the entity to meet maturing obligations.
b. Confirmatory value (or feedback). Financial information has

confirmatory value if it provides feedback about (confirms or changes)
previous evaluation. Information with feedback value enables users to
confirm or correct expectations.

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
FAITHFUL REPRESENTATION
To be useful, financial information must not only represent relevant
phenomena, but it must also faithfully represent the phenomena that it
purports to represent.
a. Completeness. A complete depiction includes all information necessary

for a user to understand the event or information being presented,
including all necessary descriptions and explanations.
b. Neutrality. A neutral presentation is one without bias.
c. Freedom from error. Means there are no errors or omissions in the

description of the phenomenon, and the process used to produce the
reported information has been selected and applied with no errors in
the process.
ENHANCING QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS
a. Comparability. It enables the users to identify and understand

similarities in, and differences among, items. Consistency, although
related to comparability, is not the same.
“Comparability is the goal; consistency helps to achieve that goal.”
b. Verifiability. Means that different knowledgeable and independent

observers could reach consensus, although not necessarily complete
agreement, that a particular depiction is a faithful representation.
c. Timeliness. Means having information available to decision-makers in

time to be capable of influencing their decisions.
d. Understandability. Means classifying, characterizing, and presenting
information clearly and concisely.
THE ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements portray the financial effects of transactions

and other events by grouping them into broad classes according to their
economic characteristics. These termed the elements of financial statements.
Elements directly related to measurement of financial position are:
Elements directly related to measurement of financial position are:

 Assets
 Liabilities
 Equity
Elements directly related to measurement of performance are:
 Income
 Expense

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
RECOGNITION OF THE ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Recognition is the process of incorporating in the balance sheet or income statement an

item that meets the definition of an element and satisfies the criteria for recognition. An item
that meets the definition of an element should be recognized if:
 It is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the

item will flow to or from the enterprise; and
 The item has a cost or value that can be measured with reliability.
MEASUREMENT OF THE ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Measurement is the process of determining the monetary amounts at which the elements
of financial statements are to be recognized and carried in the balance sheet and income
statement. This involves the selection of a particular basis of measurement. A
number of these are used to different degrees and in varying combinations in
financial statements. They include the following:
HISTORICAL COST. Assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash

equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them
at the time their acquisition.
CURRENT COST. Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash equivalents
that would have to be paid if the same or an equivalent asset was acquired
currently.
“Liabilities are carried at the discounted amount of cash and cash

equivalents that would be required to settle the obligation currently.”
RELIAZABLE (SETTLEMENT) VALUE
Reliazable value. Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash

equivalents that could currently be obtained by selling an asset in an
orderly disposal.
Settlement value. Liabilities are carried at the undiscounted amounts

of cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid to satisfy the
liabilities in the normal course of business.
Present Value. Assets/liabilities are carried at present discounted value of

the future net cash inflows/outflows that the item is expected to
generate/settle in the normal course of business.
GUIDELINES IN THE PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Philippine Accounting Standard 1 (PAS) gives us the following

guidelines in the presentation of financial statements.

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
(1) Each component of the financial statements shall be clearly

identified and the following information shall be emphasized for a
proper understanding of the information presented:
i. The name of the reporting entity;
ii. Whether the financial statements cover the individual
entity or a group of entities.
(2) The period covered by the financial statement shall be specified.
Note: For Balance Sheet, use As of (date). For Income Statement,

Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity and Statement of Cash flows, use
For the month/year ended (date).
FINANCIAL POSITION
The financial position of an enterprise is affected by the economic

resources it controls, its financial structure, it liquidity and solvency,
and its capacity to adapt to changes in the environment in which it operates.
This is primarily provided in the Statement of Financial Position or Balance
Sheet.
It answers the following questions:
 What assets does entity own?
 What does it owe?
 What are the residual equity interests in the entity’s net assets?
Other important information provided by the statement of financial

position is as follows:
 Financial structure – is the source of financing for the assets of

the enterprise. It indicates what amount of assets has been financed
by creditors, which is borrowed capital, and what amount of assets
has been financed by owners, which is invested capital.
Significance:
(1) Useful in predicting future borrowing needs and how
future profits and cash flows will be distributed
among those with an interest in the enterprise.
(2) Useful in predicting how successful the enterprise is
likely to be raising further finance.
 Liquidity – refers to the availability of cash in the near future

after taking account of financial commitments over this period.
Significance:
(1) Useful in predicting the ability of the enterprise to
meet its short-term financial commitments as they
fall due.
 Solvency – refers to the availability of cash over the longer term

to meet financial commitments as they fall due.
Significance:

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
(1) Useful in predicting the ability of the enterprise to

meet its long-term financial commitments as they fall
due.
 Capacity for adaption – the ability of the enterprise to use its

available cash for unexpected requirements and investment
opportunities. This is also known as financial flexibility.
(1) Information about the economic resources controlled
by the enterprise and its capacity for adaptation is
useful in predicting the ability of the enterprise to
generate cash and cash equivalents in the future.
COMPOSITION OF A STATEMENT IN FINANCIAL POSITION
Assets
These are resources controlled by the enterprise* as a result of past

events** and from which future economic benefits*** are expected to flow to the
enterprise.
For example, an asset may be:

 Used singly or in combination with other assets in the production
of goods or services to be sold by the enterprise;
 Exchanged for other assets;
 Used to settle a liability;
 Distributed to the owners of the enterprise.
Assets are should be classified only in two: current assets and non-
current assets. Operating Cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets
for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. When the
entity’s normal operating cycle is not clearly identifiable, it is assumed to
be twelve months.
*Controlled by the enterprise – control is the ability to obtain the economic

benefits and to restrict the access of others (e.g. an entity being the sole
user of its plants and equipment or by selling idle assets)
**Past events – The event must be past before an asset can rise. (E.g. equipment will
only become an asset when there is the right to demand delivery or access to
the asset’s potential. Dependent on the terms of the contract, this may be on
acceptance of the order or on delivery.
***Future economic benefits – These are evidenced by the prospective receipt of
cash. This could be cash itself, an account receivable or any item which may be
sold. Although, for example, a factory may not be sold for it houses the
manufacturing facility for the goods. When these goods are sold, the economic
benefit resulting from the use of the factory is realized as cash.

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
Current Assets
An entity shall classify assets as current when:

a. It expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume
it, in its normal operating cycle;
b. It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
c. It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the
reporting period;
d. The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least months after the reporting period.
1. Cash any medium of exchange that a bank will accept for deposit at face
value. It includes coins, currency, checks, money orders, bank deposits
and drafts.
*Money orders is a document which can be bought as a way of sending money

To illustrate:
The Company has an office equipment worth P500,000 with a useful life of
10 years acquired last June 1, 2013.
Office Equipment P 500,000
Accumulated Depreciation – O/E (100,000)
Net book value P 400,000
Formula:
Annual Depreciation = Cost of the PPE – salvage value* (if any)
Life (n)
Accumulated Depreciation = Annual depreciation x age of the PPE
*Salvage value is the value of an asset if sold for scrap and also called as Residual or
scrap value.
To compute:
= 500,000 = 50,000 annual depreciation

THE ACCOUNT
The basic summary device of accounting is the account. A separate

account is maintained for each element that appears in the balance sheet
(assets, liabilities, and equity) and in the income statement (income and
expense). Thus, an account may be defined as a detailed record of the
increases, decrease and balance of each element that appears in an entity’s
financial statements.
The simplest form of the account is known as the “T” account because of
its similarity to the letter T. the account has three parts as shown on the
next page.
Account Title
Left side or Debit Right side or
side credit side
THE ACCOUNTING EQUATION and DEBITS AND CREDITS-THE DOUBLE ENTRY SYSTEM
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Balance
The basic tool of accounting is the accounting equation. The left side
of the equation shows how much the business owns, and the right side of the
equation shows how much resources do the outside creditor and owner supplied
to the business.
The logic of debiting and crediting is related to the accounting

equation. Transactions may require addition to both sides (left or sides),
11

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
subtractions from both sides (left and right sides), or an addition and
subtraction on the same side (left or right sides). But in all cases the
equality must be maintained as shown above.
Accounting is based on a double-entry system which means that the dual

effects of business are recorded. A debit side entry must have a
corresponding credit side entry. For every transaction, there must be one or
more accounts debited and one or more accounts credited and must be equal
both sides. Each transaction affects at least two accounts.
The rules of debit and credit in accounts.

ACCOUNTING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS
An accounting event is an economic occurrence that causes changes in an

enterprise’s assets, liabilities, and/or equity. A transaction is a
particular kind of event that involves the transfer of something of value
between two entities.
Accountants observe many events that they identify and measure in

financial terms. A business transaction is the occurrence of an event or a
condition that affects financial position and can be reliably recorded.
Financial transaction worksheet
Every financial transaction can be analyzed or expressed in terms of its

effects on the accounting equation. The financial transactions will be
analyzed by means of a financial transaction worksheet which is a form used
to analyze increases and decreases in the assets, liabilities or owner’s
equity of a business entity.
When a specific asset, liability or owner’s equity item is created by a

financial transaction, it is listed in the financial transaction worksheet
using the appropriate accounts.

To illustrate:
Mr. Wagmalito Kayayan wants to open an accounting firm this year. The
following transactions are made during the month.
May 1. Mr. W. Kayayan invested P100,000 to start an accounting office.

May
Cash Accounts Office Office = Accounts Notes + W. Kayayan
2015
Receivable Supplies Equipment Payable Payable Capital
1 100,000 100,000
The financial transaction is analyzed as follows:

 An entity separate and distinct from Kayayan’s personal financial
affairs is created.
 An economic resource – cash of P 100,000 is invested in the business
entity. The source of this asset is the contribution made by the owner,
which represents owner’s equity. The owner’s equity account is W.
Kayayan, Capital.
 The dual nature of the transaction is that cash is invested and owner’s
equity created. The effects of this transaction on the accounting
equation are as follows: increase in asset – cash from zero to P
250,000 and increase in owner’s equity from zero to P 250,000.

form of asset. After posting the transaction, total asset amounts to P120,000
and total liabilities and capital amount to P120,000.

USE OF T-ACCOUNTS
Analyzing and recording transactions using the accounting equation is

useful in conveying a basic understanding of how transactions affect the
business. However, it is not an efficient approach once the number of
accounts involved increases. Double-entry system provides a formal system of
classification and recording business transactions.

accounting cycle in day-to-day
business transactions.
 Familiarize with General Journal,

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
A business transaction is any event that affects the financial position

of the business and can be recorded reliably. It involves exchange of values.
There are transactions within the organization like recognizing the used
portion of supplies as expense, or with outside entities or persons like
purchasing supplies either for cash or on account.
SOURCE DOCUMENTS
Transactions and events are the starting points in the accounting

cycle. By relying on source documents, transactions and events can be
analyzed as to how they will affect performance and financial position.
Source documents identify and describe transactions and events entering the
accounting process. These original written evidences contain information
about the nature and the amounts of the transactions. Some of the more source
documents are:
 Sales invoice  Checks
 Cash register tapes  Purchase orders
 Official receipts  Time cards
 Bank deposit slips  Statement of accounts
 Bank statements
TRANSACTION ANALYSIS
The analysis of transactions should follow these four basic steps:

1. Identify the transaction from source documents
2. Indicate the accounts – assets, liabilities, equity, income or expenses
– affected by the transaction.
3. Ascertain whether each account is increased or decreased by the
transaction.
4. Using the rules of debit or credit, determine whether to debit or
credit the account to record its increase or decrease.
ACCOUNTING CYCLE
Step 1 Documentation. Analyzing business documents which serve as a

basis of recording transactions.
Step 2 Journalizing. Recording business transactions in the journal to
have chronological records of economic activities.
Step 3 Posting. The information in the general journal is transferred to
the General Ledger to create a record of classified accounts.
Step 4 Preparation of Trial Balance. A trial balance is prepared to
prove the equality of debits and credits in the general ledger.
Step 5 Adjusting entries. Making end of period adjustments before
financial statements are prepared so that the income and expense
in the income statement are reported at their correct amounts.
Step 6 Worksheet. Work sheet is prepared to facilitate the preparation
of financial statements.

Step 7 Financial Statement. The basic financial statements are prepared

after making the necessary adjustments.

b. Balance Sheet
c. Statement of Cash Flows
d. Statement of Changes in Equity
e. Notes to financial statement
Step 8 Journalizing and posting closing entries. The objective of
closing entry is to transfer the revenue, expense and drawing
accounts to the capital account.
Step 9 Preparation of a Post-closing trial balance
Step 10 Reversing journal entries (made at the start of the next period)

JOURNALIZING
THE JOURNAL
The journal is a chronological record of the entity’s transactions. It is

called the book of original entry. A journal entry shows all the effects of a
business transaction in terms of debits and credits. Each transaction is
initially recorded in a journal rather than directly in the ledger. The
general journal is the simplest journal.
Simple and Compound Entry

In a simple entry, only two accounts are affected – one account is debited
and the other account is credited. However, some transactions require the use
of more than two accounts. When three or more accounts are required in a
journal entry, the entry is referred to as a compound entry.
Format
Date: The year and month are not written for every written entry unless
the year or month changes or a new page is needed.
Account Titles and Explanation: The first line of an entry shows the account
debited and the second line is the account credited. The account
credited is indented to the right. For each entry, a brief
explanation is required enough to understand the nature of the
transaction.
Posting Reference: This column is filled up only when the entry is
transferred to the next book of accounts, the ledger. Posting
reference column is where the account number of each account is
written.
Debit: The debit amount for each account is entered in this column.
Credit: The credit amount for each account is entered in this column.

POSTING
THE LEDGER
A grouping of the entity’s accounts is referred to as a ledger. Although some

firms may use various ledger to accumulate certain detailed information, all
firms have a general ledger. A general ledger is the reference book of the
accounting system and is used to classify and summarize transactions, and to
prepare data for basic financial statements.
The accounts in the general ledger are classified into two general groups:
 Permanent/Real accounts –balance sheet accounts
 Temporary/Nominal accounts –income statement accounts
AC101 Session 3 6

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
Posting means transferring the amounts from the journal to the appropriate
accounts in the ledger. The steps are illustrated as follows:
1. Transfer the date of the transaction from the journal to the ledger.
2. Transfer the page number from the journal to the journal reference.
3. Post the debit figure from the journal as a debit figure in the ledger
and the credit figure from the ledger as a credit figure in the ledger.
4. Enter the account number in the posting reference column of the journal
once the figure has been posted to the ledger.

LEDGER ACCOUNTS POSTING

At the end of the accounting period, the debit and credit balance of each
account must be determined to enable us to come up with a trial balance.
 Each account balance is determine by footing (adding) all the debits
and credits.
 If the sum of an account’s debit is greater than the sum of its
credits, that account has a debit balance.
 If the sum of its credits is greater, that account has a credit
balance.
In the discussion of basic accounting, T-accounts is often use rather than

the actual ledger to facilitate the posting step in the accounting cycle.
AC101 Session 3 7

lOMoARcPSD|8779159

It is a list of all accounts with their respective debit or credit balances.

It is prepared to verify the equality of debits and credits in the ledger at

The trial balance is a control device that helps minimize accounting errors.
When totals are equal, the trial balance is in balance. It only proves the
equality of debit and credit totals but not the following errors:
1. Failure to record or post a transaction.
2. Recording the same transaction more than once.
3. Recording an entry but with the same erroneous debit and credit
amounts.
4. Posting a part of a transaction correctly as a debit or credit but to
the wrong account.
INEQUALITY OF TOTALS DUE TO ERRORS

These might arise from the following circumstances:
1. Failing to post part of a journal entry
2. Posting a debit as a credit, or vice versa.
3. Incorrectly determining the balance of an account.
4. Recording the balance of an account incorrectly in the trial balance.
5. Omitting an account from the trial balance.

AC101 Session 4 1

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
THE ACCOUNTING PERIOD
The activities of an enterprise can be divided into specific periods such as

a month, a quarter, a semester, or a year. The accounting period is usually s
span of 12 months. It may be a calendar year or fiscal year. Calendar year is
the normal year which ends December 31 of each year. Fiscal year is an
accounting year of 12 consecutive months that may or may not coincide with
the calendar yaer.
ACCRUAL VERSUS CASH ACCOUNTING
Accrual Accounting requires that all revenue earned whether payment is

received or not should be recognized in the period the goods or services are
delivered re rendered and that all related costs to deliver the goods or to
render the whether paid or not should be recognized as expense to match the
revenue.
Cash-basis Accounting requires that all revenue is recognized only when cash
is received while expenses are recognized only when cash is paid.
IMPORTANCE OF ADJUSTING ENTRIES
Adjusting Entries are entries made at the end of the period to assign
revenues to the period in which they are earned and expenses to the period in
which they are incurred.
Many accounts need adjustments to reflect the current conditions as of time

of reporting in order for the statements to be meaningful. There may be
financial data not previously recognized that need to be recorded to make the
books of accounts up to date like the expenses already incurred but no
payment until sometime in the subsequent period, and revenues already earned
but no cash is collected yet.
ITEMS THAT NEED ADJUSTMENTS
PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid Expenses are expenditures paid for goods that are not yet consumed
like supplies, insurance and rent.
METHODS OF RECORDING PREPAYMENTS
Asset Method
1. Example for Supplies

a. Purchase of supplies worth P 5,000 is recorded as
Supplies 5,000
Cash 5,000
AC101 Session 4 2

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
b. At the end of a period, physical count of unused supplies showed a

total of P3,500. This shows that if P 3,500 is unused, then P 1,500
worth of supplies is used or consumed.
Supplies 1,500
2. Example for Insurance

a. On October 1, 2013, a company paid P12,000 as insurance premium
for one year. The entry to record the payment under the asset
method is:
Cash 12,000
b. With the passage of time, the prepaid insurance gradually

expires, that’s why on Dec. 31, an adjusting entry is required to
recognize the expired portion of the insurance premium as
expense.
3. Example for Rent

a. On Dec. 1, the company paid P18,000 as rent for one year. The
entry to record the payment under the asset method is:
Prepaid Rent 18,000
Cash 18,000
b. On Dec. 31, the entry will be (18,000/12 mons.)x 1 mons.=1,500.00

Rent Expense 1,500
Prepaid Rent 1,500
EXPENSE METHOD
This method of recording prepayments requires an entry debiting an expense
account upon payment.
1. Example for supplies

a. In the previous example, if the supplies purchased were recorded,
the entry would be:
Cash 5,000
b. The adjusting entry required to reflect the unused portion would
be
Supplies 3,500
2. Example for Insurance

a. If the Expense Method is used to record the prepayment, the entry
made upon payment is:
Insurance expense 12,000
Cash 12,000
AC101 Session 4 3

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
b. The adjusting entry on Dec. 31, would be:

3. Example for Rent

a. If the Expense Method is used to record the prepayment, the entry
made upon payment is:
Rent expense 18,000
Cash 18,000
b. The adjusting entry on Dec. 31, would be:

Prepaid Rent 16,500
Rent Expense 16,500
ACCRUED EXPENSES
These are items already recorded as expenses but not yet paid, thus creating
an obligations to make payments in the future. The most common examples are
salaries of employees and utilities expenses like bills from Meralco and
Manila Waters.
On June 15, when the company pays the salaries of employees, the payment will
be recorded as:
Salaries Expense P xxx

Cash P xxx
No accrual for salary payment on June 15 because this date is a regular

working day. The salary for the 2nd half of the month which is due June 30
will not be paid on that day because it is a non-working day. So the salary
of the employees will be paid the following Monday, July 2. The bookkeeper
will recognize the expense on June 30 with the following entry:
Salaries Expense P xxx

Accrued Salaries or
Salaries Payable P xxx
ACCRUED INTEREST ON NOTES RECEIVABLE
A company issued a 90-day 10% note on Dec. 1 for P100,000. The notes payable
is due 90 days from date of issue including interest earned for 90 days. If
financial statements are prepared on Dec. 31, which are normally the case,
then the company must record the interest for 30 days as:
Interest Expense 833.33
Accrued Interest 833.33
ACCRUED REVENUE
These are revenues already earned but no payment is received yet.
AC101 Session 4 4

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
Interest Receivable P xxx

Interest Revenue P xxx
DEFERRED REVENUE OR UNEARNED REVENUES
This is the exact opposite of accrued revenues. In this case, payment is

received in advance prior to delivery of services, or delivery of goods,
thus, creating a liability for the amount collected in advanced; however, as
the company renders the service, the unearned revenue becomes earned revenue.
Revenue method
For example, on Aug. 1, a tenant paid its rent for one year in advance in the
amount of P 24,000. At the time cash is received, the entry is:
Cash 24,000
Rent Revenue 24,000
When financial statement is prepared on Dec. 31, an adjustment is necessary

to reflect the unearned portion of the rent that corresponds to the period
Jan. 1 2013 – July 31, 2014. The adjusting entry would be:
Rent Revenue (7/12 x 24,000) 14,000

Unearned Rent 14,000
Liability Method
If the liability method is used to record the receipt of P24,000, the entry
upon receipt would be:
Cash 24,000
Unearned Rent 24,000
On Dec. 31, the amount earned must be recognized as revenue through an

adjusting entry.
Unearned rent 10,000

Rent Revenue 10,000
UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNT EXPENSE OR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
In any enterprise selling on account to its customers, experience show that

some customers will not be able to pay their accounts as they fall due.
Uncollectible accounts or bad debts are accounts of customers who do not pay
what they have promised to pay. The enterprise should provide allowance for
uncollectible accounts and recognize an expense or loss from these accounts.
Other terms for uncollectible accounts are Bad Debts and Doubtful accounts.
a. Based on Percentage of Sales on Account or service revenue on account

For example, the company estimates that 2% of sales on account are
proven to be uncollectible. The entry would be:
AC101 Session 4 5

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
Uncollectible account expense xxx

Allowance for uncollectible accounts xxx
The allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra account which is deducted

from the accounts receivable in the balance sheet to arrive at its net
realizable value.
b. Based on Accounts Receivable Balance
Example 1: The following balances are available from the records of

Manila Premier Hotel at December 31, 2013:
Accounts Receivable, 12/31 P 800,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts,1/1 12,000 Cr.
Service Revenue on account 2,500,000
The company’s estimate for uncollectible accounts is 2% of accounts

receivable.
The adjusting entry required to reflect the expense for the year is:
Uncollectible account expense 4,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts 4,000
Example 2: Assume the following balances:

Accounts Receivable, 12/31 800,000
Allowance for uncollectible accounts 22,000 Cr.
Service revenue on account 2,500,000
Since the required allowance is only P16,000, and the balance of the
allowance account is P22,000, the allowance for uncollectible accounts
should be reduced by P 6,000. The adjusting entry would be:
Allowance for uncollectible accounts 6,000

Uncollectible accounts expense 6,000
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is the systematic means of allocating the cost of long

lived asset over its estimated economic life. Depreciation does not
necessarily measure the decline in the value of an asset but it shows
only the portion of the cost of the asset that has expired due to using
up the asset. The assets that are subject to depreciation are called
depreciable assets. The formula:
Depreciation Expense = Cost of Asset – Scrap value/residual value/salvage value

Estimated economic life
AC101 Session 4 6

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
Cost of asset is the amount of company paid to purchase the asset. It

includes the invoice price plus transportation charges and installation
fees.
Scrap value is the amount expected to be recovered at the end of an
asset’s useful life. It is also called residual value or salvage value.
Estimated economic life is the same as the estimated useful life of an
asset.
Depreciation cost or value is the difference between the cost of an
asset and its scrap value.
Example: A delivery equipment was purchased on Jan. 3, 2013 for

P600,000. It is estimated that the vehicle’s salvage value at the end
of 10 yrs. Is P50,000.
Dep. Expense = 600,000 – 50,000 = 55,000/yr.

10 yrs.
The adjusting entry on Dec. 31, 2013 will be:
Depreciation Expense 55,000

Accumulated Depreciation-D/E 55,000
Accumulated Depreciation is a contra account, which is reported as a

deduction from the related asset account.
The presentation of the asset and its related accumulated depreciation

in the balance follows:
Delivery Equipment P 600,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation 55,000
Book value P 545,000
Book value is the part of the cost of the asset that is not yet
allocated to an expense account.

COMPLETING THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE

 Understand and apply the remaining
steps in completing cycle; closing
entries, post-closing entries and
reversing entries.
 Deeper understanding the reasons
and importance of the remaining
steps.
AC101 Session 4 1

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
CLOSING ENTRIES
Closing entries are usually prepared at the end of an accounting period like
adjusting entries. Not all accounts are closed. Only the nominal accounts,
often called temporary accounts and the drawing account are closed at the end
of the accounting period. Nominal accounts are the accounts that appear in
the income statement like revenue and expense accounts.
A temporary account is said to be closed when an entry is made such that its
balance becomes zero. Closing simply transfers the balance of one account to
another account. In this case, the balances of the temporary accounts are
transferred to the capital account. A summary account – Income and Expense
Summary is used to close the income and expense accounts.
1. Close the income accounts

Income accounts have credit balances before the closing entries are
posted. For this reason, an entry debiting each revenue account in the
amount of its balance is needed to close the account.
Dec 31 Revenues 67,700.00

Income & Expense Summary 67,700.00
2. Close the expense accounts

Expense accounts have debit balances before the closing entries are
posted. For this reason, a compound entry is needed crediting each
expense account for its balance and debiting the income and expense
summary for the total.
Dec 31 Income & Expense Summary 36,700.00

Salaries Expense 15,600.00
Supplies Expense 3,000.00
Rent Expense 4,000.00
Insurance Expense 1,200.00
Utilities Expense 4,400.00
Depreciation Expense-S.V. 4,000.00
Depreciation Expense-Off.Equp. 1,000.00
Interest Expense 3,500.00
3. Closing the income and expense summary

After closing entries involving the income and expense accounts, the
balance of the income summary account will be equal to the profit or
loss for the period. A profit is indicated by a credit balance and a
loss by a debit balance.
Dec 31 Income & Expense Summary 35,000.00

XYZ, Capital 35,000.00
AC101 Session 4 2

lOMoARcPSD|8779159
4. Close the withdrawal account

The withdrawal account shows the amount by which capital is reduced
during the period by withdrawals of cash or other assets of the
business by the owner for personal use.
Dec. 31 XYZ, Capital 14,000.00

XYZ, withdrawals 14,000.00
POST-CLOSING TRIAL BALANCE
After posting the closing entries to the general ledger another trial balance
is prepared. This time, the accounts left with balances are all balance sheet
accounts or permanent accounts because all nominal accounts including the
drawing accounts have zero balances. This post-closing trial balance is
prepared to check the equality of the accounting equation before the balances
of the assets; liabilities and capital are forwarded to the next accounting
period. This is the end of the accounting period.
XYZ Company
Post-closing Trial Balance
Dec. 31,2014
Cash 22,200
Supplies 15,000
Prepaid Rent 4,000
Service Vehicle 420,000
Accumulated Depreciation-S.V. 4,000
