BRANCHES OF ACCOUNTING
1. Financial Accounting
-the broadest branch and is focused on the needs of external users.
- information is communicated in a complete set of financial statements.
- primarily concerned with processing historical data.
-uses information for decision-making needs.
2. Management Accounting
-provide timely and relevant information for those internal users of accounting information, such as the managers and
employees in their decision-making needs.
-involves financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting, cost analysis, evaluation of business decisions, and similar areas.
3. Government Accounting- Deals with how the funds of the government are recorded and reported. The recording of
inflow and outflow of funds of the government.
4. Auditing - Involves looking at financial records to ensure they’re accurate and honest. It's a way to verify that things
are being done properly.
a) Internal - deals with determining the operational efficiency of the company regarding the protection of the
company’s assets, accuracy and reliability of the accounting data, and adherence to certain management policies .
b) External - refers to the examination of financial statements by an independent CPA (Certified Public Accountant) with
the purpose of expressing an opinion as to fairness of presentation and compliance with the generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The audit does not cover 100% of the accounting records but the CPA reviews a selected
sample of these records and issues an audit report.
6. Tax Accounting
-Tax accounting helps clients follow rules set by tax authorities. It includes tax planning and preparation of tax returns. It
also involves determination of income tax and other taxes, tax advisory services such as ways to minimize taxes legally,
evaluation of the consequences of tax decisions, and other tax-related matters.
-involves the preparation of income tax returns and the determination of correct amount of taxes due and payable to
the government.
7. Cost Accounting
-Sometimes considered as a subset of management accounting, cost accounting refers to the recording, presentation,
and analysis of manufacturing costs.
-Cost accounting is very useful in manufacturing businesses since they have the most complicated costing process. Cost
accountants also analyze actual and standard costs to help managers determine future courses of action regarding the
company's operations. Cost accounting will also help the owner set the selling price of his products. For example, if the
cost accounting records shows that the total cost to produce one can of sardines is PHP50, then the owner can set the
selling price atPHP60.00
2. PARTNERSHIP - A partnership is 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. Accounting considers the
partnership as a separate organization, distinct from the personal affairs of each partner.
Different Types of Partners:
■ General partners - Who invest in the partnership, participate in the day-to-day operations and are liable for debts and
lawsuits of the partnership.
■ Limited partners - Who invest in the partnership but who have no participation in day-to-day operations and who are
not usually considered to have liability is distinct from its proprietor. Thus, the accounting records of the sole
proprietorship do not include the proprietor's personal financial records.
Different Types of Partnership:
■ General Partnership - An association of two or more persons that carry on as the co-owners of a business in order to
generate a profit. The default rule is equality between all members and the only way to change this is through a formal
written agreement. Each partner possesses an equal voice in management and the authority to act as agent for the
partnership. Each partner can be held liable for all debts of the partnership, and for torts committed by other partners
within the course of the partnership's business.
■ Limited Partnership – A limited partnership is formed by two or more persons, having one or more general partners
and one or more limited partners. A limited partner has no voice in the active management of the limited partnership,
which is conducted by the general partner(s). Every limited partner's liability is limited to the capital he has contributed
to the partnership.
Advantages Disadvantages
-Easier to create than corporation - Unlimited liability
-Better ability to acquire additional capital than sole proprietorships - Mutual agency
-Larger pool of human capital than sole proprietorship. - Limited life

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
FEASIBILITY feasibility to the extent that it can be implemented
without undue complexity or cost.
Basic Principles
1. 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. Ideally, accounting records are based on information that flows from activities
documented by objective evidence. Without this principle, accounting records would be based on whims and
opinions and is therefore subject to disputes.

2. Historical Cost- This principle states that acquired assets should be recorded at their actual cost and not at what
management thinks they are worth as at reporting date.
Value of something in current year- Fair Value amount
difference of Historical Cost less Fair Value amount- Revaluation Surplus
3. Revenue Recognition Principle - Revenue is to be recognized in the accounting period when goods are delivered
or services are rendered or performed.
an asset that should be recorded together with revenue account- Receivable
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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. In deciding whether an item or an aggregate of items is material, the nature and
size of the item are evaluated together. Depending on the circumstances, either the nature or the size of the
item could be the determining factor.
7. 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.

1. Asset- Is a present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events. An economic resource
is a right that has the potential to produce economic benefits. There are three aspects to these definitions:
"right"; "potential to produce economic benefits"; and "control"
Rights that correspond to an obligation of another party,
RIGHT
1.rights to receive cash.
2.rights to receive goods or services.
ASSET 3.rights to exchange economic resources with another party on favorable terms.
4 rights to benefit from an obligation of another party to transfer an economic
resource if a specified uncertain future event occurs.
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
ECONOMIC BENEFITS (a) receive contractual cash flows or another economic resource;
CONTROL (b) exchange economic resources with another party on favorable terms;
(c) produce cash inflows or avoid cash outflows by,
a.) present ability to direct the use of the economic resource (d) receive cash or other economic resources by selling the economic resource; or
and obtain the economic benefits that may flow from it. (e) extinguish liabilities by transferring the economic resource.
b.) Control includes the present ability to prevent other parties
from directing the use of the economic resource and from
obtaining the economic benefits that may flow from it
2. Liability- A liability is a present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past
events. For a liability to exist, three criteria must ALL be satisfied:
•An obligation is a duty or responsibility that an entity has no practical ability
to avoid. An obligation is always owed to another party (or parties).
OBLIGATION • The other party (or parties) could be a person or another entity, a group of
Liability people or other entities, or society at large.
• If one party has an obligation to transfer an economic resource, it follows
that another party (or parties) has a right to receive that economic resource.
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 expenses). Thus, an account
may be defined as a detailed record of the increases, decreases 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".
This equation presents the resources controlled by the enterprise, the present obligations of the enterprise and the
residual interest in the assets. It states that assets must always equal liabilities and owner's equity. The basic accounting
model is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
Note that the assets are on the left side of the equation opposite the liabilities and owner's equity. This explains
why increases and decreases in assets are recorded in the opposite manner ("mirror image") as liabilities and owner's
equity are recorded. The equation also explains why liabilities and owner's equity follow the same rules of debit and
credit.
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. Each transaction affects at least two accounts. The total debits for
a transaction must always equal the total credits.
An account is debited when an amount is entered on the left side of the account and credited when an amount
is entered on the right side. The abbreviations for debit and credit are Dr. (from the Latin debere) and Cr. (from the Latin
credere), respectively.
NORMAL BALANCE

Owner’s Equity/Capital, Revenue, Expense, Drawing)
Every accountable event has a dual but self-balancing effect on the accounting equation. Recognizing these events will
not in any manner affect the equality of the basic accounting model. The four types of transactions above may be
further expanded into nine types of effects as follows:
1. Increase in Assets = Increase in Liabilities (SA)
2. Increase in Assets = Increase in Owner's Equity (SA)
3. Increase in one Asset = Decrease in another Asset (EA)
4. Decrease in Assets = Decrease in Liabilities (UA)
5. Decrease in Assets = Decrease in Owner's Equity (UA)
6. Increase in Liabilities = Decrease in Owner's Equity (EC)
7. Increase in Owner's Equity = Decrease in Liabilities (EC)
8. Increase in one Liability = Decrease in another Liability (EC)
9. Increase in one Owner's Equity = Decrease in another Owner's Equity (EC)
