each unit of product?
Which product line is the most
profitable?
QUESTIONS ASKED BY EXTERNAL USERS
Is the company earning
satisfactory income?
How does the company compare in
size and profitability with its
competitors?
Will the company be able to pay its debts as they come due?
What do we
do if they
catch us?
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
 Primarily established by the Canadian Institute of
Chartered Accountants
Cost Principle
 The cost principle dictates that assets are
recorded at their cost.
 Cost is the value exchanged at the time something
is acquired.
 Cost is used because it is both relevant and
reliable.
GAAP
1. Going Concern - assumes organization will
continue into foreseeable future.
2. Monetary Unit - only transaction data that can
be expressed in terms of money is included in
the accounting records.
3. Economic Entity - includes any organization
or unit in society.
ASSUMPTIONS
Business Transactions
 The term accounting event refers to a change in an item that should
be reflected in the company's financial statements. Accounting
events can be internal or external and usually involve a change in
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or owner's equity
 An accounting event usually involves a transaction that is
measureable, relevant and reliable. Events that meet these conditions
are then reported in the company's financial statements; including the
balance sheet (assets, liabilities) and the income statement (revenues,
expenses).
 A transaction is an event that involves the exchange of value between
two entities; that is to say, each entity receives and sacrifices value.
For example, the business can purchase raw materials from a
supplier.
Business Transactions
Sale in cash to a customer
Sale on credit to a customer
Receive cash in payment of an invoice owed by a customer
Purchase fixed assets from a supplier
Record the depreciation of a fixed asset over time
Purchase consumable supplies from a supplier
Investment in another business
Investment in marketable securities
Engaging in a hedge to mitigate the effects of an unfavorable price
change
Borrow funds from a lender
Issue a dividend to investors
Sale of assets to a third party
THE RECORDING PROCESS
1. Analyse each transaction.
2. Enter transaction in a journal.
3. Transfer journal information to ledger accounts.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
BASIC ACCOUNTING EQUATION
The Basic Accounting Equation
ASSETS AS A BUILDING BLOCK
 Assets are resources owned by a business.
 They are things of value used in carrying out
such activities as production and exchange.
 Capacity to provide future benefits and services.
LIABILITIES AS A BUILDING BLOCK
 Liabilities are claims against assets.
 They are existing debts and obligations.
 Owner’s Equity is equal to total assets minus
total liabilities.
 Owner’s Equity represents the ownership claim
on total assets.
 Subdivisions of Owner’s Equity:
1. Capital
2. Drawings
3. Revenues
4. Expenses
OWNER’S EQUITY AS
A BUILDING BLOCK
INVESTMENTS BY OWNERS
AS A BUILDING BLOCK
 Investments by owner are the assets put into
the business by the owner.
 These investments in the business increase
owner’s equity.
 Drawings are withdrawals of cash or other
assets by the owner for personal use.
 Drawings decrease total owner’s equity.
DRAWINGS AS A
BUILDING BLOCK
REVENUES AS A
BUILDING BLOCK
 Revenues are the gross increases in owner’s
equity resulting from business activities entered
into for the purpose of earning income.
 Revenues may result from sale of merchandise,
performance of services, rental of property, or
lending of money.
 Revenues usually result in an increase in an asset.
EXPENSES AS A
BUILDING BLOCK
 Expenses are the decreases in owner’s equity that
result from operating the business.
 Expenses are the cost of assets consumed or
services used in the process of earning revenue.
 Examples of expenses include utility expense, rent
expense, and supplies expense.

THE ACCOUNT
 An account is an individual accounting
record of increases and decreases in a
specific asset, liability, or owner’s equity
item.
 A company will have separate accounts for
such items as cash, salaries expense,
accounts payable, and so on.
DEBITS AND CREDITS
 The terms debit and credit mean left and right,
respectively.
 The act of entering an amount on the left side of an
account is called debiting the account and making an
entry on the right side is crediting the account.
 When the debit amounts exceed the credits, an account
has a debit balance; when the reverse is true, the account
has a credit balance.
DR CR
BASIC FORM OF ACCOUNT
Left or debit side
Title of Account
Right or credit side
Debit balance Credit balance
 In its simplest form, an account consists of
1. the title of the account,
2. a left or debit side, and
3. a right or credit side.
 The alignment of these parts resembles the letter T, and
therefore the account form is called a T account.

DOUBLE-ENTRY SYSTEM
 In a double-entry system, equal debits and
credits are made in the accounts for each
transaction.
 Thus, the total debits will always equal the
total credits and the accounting equation
will always stay in balance.
Assets Liabilities Equity
NORMAL BALANCE

THE JOURNAL
 Transactions are initially recorded in
chronological order in a journal before being
transferred to the accounts.
 Every company has a general journal which
contains
1. spaces for dates,
2. account titles and explanations,
3. references, and
4. two money columns.
The journal makes several significant contributions to the
recording process:
1. It discloses, in one place, the complete effect of a
transaction.
2. It provides a chronological record of transactions.
3. It helps to prevent or locate errors because the debit and
credit amounts for each entry can be readily compared.
THE JOURNAL
JOURNALIZING
 Entering transaction data in the journal is known
as journalizing.
 Separate journal entries are made for each
transaction.
 A complete entry consists of
1. the date of the transaction,
2. the accounts and amounts to be debited and
credited, and
3. a brief explanation of the transaction.
TECHNIQUE OF JOURNALIZING
The date of the transaction is entered in the date column.

THE TRIAL BALANCE
 A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at
a given time.
 The primary purpose of a trial balance is to prove the
mathematical equality of debits and credits after posting.
 A trial balance also uncovers errors in journalizing and
posting.
 The procedures for preparing a trial balance consist of
1. listing the account titles and their balances,
2. totaling the debit and credit columns, and
3. proving the equality of the two columns.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
After transactions are identified, recorded, and
summarized, four financial statements are
prepared from the summarized accounting data:
1. An income statement presents the revenues
and expenses and resulting net income or net
loss of a company for a specific period of time.
2. A statement of owner’s equity summarizes the
changes in owner’s equity for a specific period
of time.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition to the income statement and statement of
owner’s equity, two additional statements are
prepared:
3. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and
owner’s equity of a business enterprise at a
specific date.
4. A cash flow statement summarizes information
concerning the cash inflows (receipts) and
outflows (payments) for a specific period of time.
The notes are an integral part of the financial
statements.
Net income of $2,750 shown on the income statement is added to the
beginning balance of owner’s capital in the statement of owner’s equity.
