➢ This week we are going to see where the different concepts fit into the Accounting cycle.
• Accounting cycle :
➢ The accounting cycle starts when a transaction takes place and ends with the drawing up of the financial
statements.
Steps in the accounting cycle :
TERMINOLOGY 1. Transactions
2. Source documents
3. Subsidiary journals
4. General Ledger
5. Trial Balance
6. Financial statements - Income statement and Balance Sheet(You are only going to be introduced to the
financial statements in Grade 10 Accounting).
• Transactions
➢ A transaction is an agreement between a buyer and seller to exchange a good or service for money.
➢ For example, when you go to the hairdresser to wash and style your hair you agree to pay the hairdresser a set
amount of money to wash and style your hair.
➢ Recording the transaction is the first step in the accounting cycle.
• Source documents
▪ A source document is the original record that contains the details of a transaction that has taken place.
▪ During each transaction a source document is completed in duplicate which is used to enter the
transactions in the correct subsidiary journal e.g.:
➢ Cash register slip / - roll

➢ Cash invoice
➢ Receipt
CONCEPTS ➢ Bank deposit slip
and/or ➢ Proof of EFT receipts/payments
SKILLS
➢ Bank statement
▪ Source documents contains following important information:
1. the date on which the transaction takes place.

2. the document number.
3. the persons/businesses involved in the transaction.
4. the reason for the transaction.
5. the amount involved.
• Subsidiary journals
• Subsidiary journals are called “books of first entry” because the transactions are first entered in the subsidiary journals
e.g. :
➢ Cash receipts journal (CRJ) : the subsidiary journal in which all the money that the business receives on a daily
basis is entered.

• General Ledger
▪ The general ledger contains a summary of all the journals.
▪ At the end of the month all the journals are totalled and the information for every account in the General
Ledger is transfered through a process called posting.
▪ The General Ledger consists of a Balance Sheet accounts section and a Nominal accounts section.
