Accounting Basic Definition and
Basic Equation
For Journal , Balance Sheet and
Accounting /Accounting Process is a system that measures the
activities of a business in financial terms. It provides various reports
and financial statements that show how the various transactions the
business undertook (e.g., buying and selling goods) affected the
business. This accounting process performs the following functions:
 Analysing: Looking at what happened and how the business was
affected.
 Recording: Putting the information into the accounting system.
 Classifying: Grouping all the same activities (e.g., all purchases)
together.
 Summarizing: Totaling the results.
 Reporting: Issuing the statements that tell the results of the
previous functions.
DefinitDefinition of Accounting
ion
Accounting Concept
This concept assumes that, for accounting purposes, the business enterprise
and its owners are two separate independent entities. Thus, the business and
personal transactions of its owner are separate. For example, when the
owner invests money in the business, it is recorded as liability of the
business to the owner. Similarly, when the owner takes away from the
business cash/goods for his/her personal use, it is not treated as business
expense. Thus, the accounting records are made in the books of accounts
from the point of view of the business unit and not the person owning the
business. This concept is the very basis of accounting.
Business entity concept
This concept states that a business firm will continue to carry on its
activities for an indefinite period of time. Simply stated, it means
that every business entity has continuity of life. Thus, it will not be
dissolved in the near future. This is an important assumption of
accounting, as it provides a basis for showing the value of assets in
the balance sheet; For example, a company purchases a plant and
machinery of Rm100000.00 and its life span is 10 years. According
to this concept every year some amount will be shown as
expenses and the balance amount as an asset. Thus, if an amount is
spent on an item which will be used in business for many years, it
will not be proper to charge the amount from the revenues of the
year in which the item is acquired. Only a part of the value is
shown as expense in the year of purchase and the remaining
balance is shown as an asset.
GOING CONCERN CONCEPT
All the transactions are recorded in the books of accounts on the assumption
that profits on these transactions are to be ascertained for a specified period.
This is known as accounting period concept. Thus, this concept requires
that a balance sheet and profit and loss account should be prepared at regular
intervals. This is necessary for different purposes like, calculation of profit,
ascertaining financial position, tax computation etc.
Further, this concept assumes that, indefinite life of business is divided into
parts. These parts are known as Accounting Period. It may be of one year,
six months, three months, one month, etc. But usually one year is taken as
one accounting period which may be a calendar year or a financial year.
Year that begins from 1 st of January and ends on 31 st of December,
is known as Calendar Year.
The year that begins from 1st of April and ends on 31 st of March of the following year, is known as financial
year.
As per accounting period concept, all the transactions are recorded in the
books of accounts for a specified period of time. Hence, goods purchased
and sold during the period, rent, salaries etc. paid for the period are
accounted for and against that period only.
ACCOUNTING PERIOD CONCEPT
Accounting cost concept states that all assets are recorded in the books of
accounts at their purchase price, which includes cost of acquisition,
transportation and installation and not at its market price. It means that fixed
assets like building, plant and machinery, furniture, etc are recorded in the
books of accounts at a price paid for them. For example, a machine was
purchased by XYZ Limited for Rs.500000, for manufacturing shoes. An
amount of Rs.1,000 were spent on transporting the machine to the factory
site. In addition, Rs.2000 were spent on its installation. The total amount
at which the machine will be recorded in the books of accounts would be
the sum of all these items i.e. Rs.503000. This cost is also known as
historical cost. Suppose the market price of the same is now Rs 90000 it
will not be shown at this value. Further, it may be clarified that cost means
original or acquisition cost only for new assets and for the used ones, cost
means original cost less depreciation. The cost concept is also known as
historical cost concept. The effect of cost concept is that if the business
entity does not pay anything for acquiring an asset this item would not
appear in the books of accounts. Thus, goodwill appears in the accounts
only if the entity has purchased this intangible asset for a price.
ACCOUNTING COST CONCEPT
Dual aspect is the foundation or basic principle of accounting. It provides
the very basis of recording business transactions in the books of accounts.
This concept assumes that every transaction has a dual effect, i.e. it affects
two accounts in their respective opposite sides. Therefore, the transaction
should be recorded at two places. It means, both the aspects of the
transaction must be recorded in the books of accounts. For example,
goods
purchased for cash has two aspects which are
(i) Giving of cash
(ii) Receiving of goods. These two aspects are to be recorded.
Thus, the duality concept is commonly expressed in terms of fundamental
accounting equation :
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
DUAL ASPECT CONCEPT
 The above accounting equation states that the assets
of a business are always
 equal to the claims of owner/owners and the
outsiders. This claim is also
 termed as capital or owners equity and that of
outsiders, as liabilities or
 creditors’ equity.
DUAL ASPECT CONCEPT (Cont)
1. Capital brought in by the owner of the business
The two aspects in this transaction are :
(i) Receipt of cash
(ii) Increase in Capital (owners equity)
2. Purchase of machinery by cheque
The two aspects in the transaction are
(i) Reduction in Bank Balance
(ii) Owning of Machinery
Let us analyse some more business
transactions in terms of their dual
aspect :
3. Goods sold for cash
The two aspects are
(i) Receipt of cash
(ii) Delivery of goods to the customer
4. Rent paid in cash to the landlord
The two aspects are
(i) Payment of cash
(ii) Rent (Expenses incurred).
Let us analyse some more business
transactions in terms of their dual
aspect :
This concept states that revenue from any business transaction should be
included in the accounting records only when it is realised. The term
realisation means creation of legal right to receive money. Selling goods is
realisation, receiving order is not.
In other words, it can be said that :
Revenue is said to have been realised when cash has been received or right to
receive cash on the sale of goods or services or both has been created.
Let us study the following examples :
(i) N.P. Jeweller received an order to supply gold ornaments worth
RM500000. They supplied ornaments worth RM200000 up to the year ending
31 st December 2005 and rest of the ornaments were supplied in January 2006.
(ii) Bansal sold goods for RM1,00,000 for cash in 2006 and the goods have
been delivered during the same year.
REALISATION CONCEPT
The meaning of accrual is something that becomes due
especially an amount of money that is yet to be paid or
received at the end of the accounting period. It means that
revenues are recognised when they become receivable. Though
cash is received or not received and the expenses are
recognised when they become payable though cash is paid or
not paid. Both transactions will be recorded in the accounting
period to which they relate. Therefore, the accrual concept
makes a distinction between the accrual receipt of cash and the
right to receive cash as regards revenue and actual payment of
cash and obligation to pay cash as regards expenses.
ACCRUAL CONCEPT
The matching concept states that the revenue and the
expenses incurred to earn the revenues must belong to
the same accounting period. So once the revenue is
realised, the next step is to allocate it to the relevant
accounting period. This can be done with the help
of accrual concept.

DEBIT Explanation and Example
ASSET Examples include cash, investments, accounts
receivable, inventory, supplies land, buildings,
equipment, and vehicles. Assets are reported on the
balance sheet usually at cost or lower. Assets are also
part of the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities +
Owner's (Stockholders') Equity.
DRAW The withdrawal of business cash or other assets by the
owner for the personal use of the owner. Withdrawals
of cash by the owner are recorded with a debit to the
owner's drawing account and a credit to the cash
account. (Draw by owner for what ever purpose)
EXPENSES An expense in accounting is the money spent or cost
incurred in an entity's efforts to generate
revenue. Expenses represent the cost of doing business
where doing business is the sum total of the activities
directed towards making a profit.
DC ADE LER / DACE CLER
CREDIT Explanation and Example
LIABILITY A liability is an obligation and it is reported on a company's
balance sheet. A common example of
a liability is accounts payable. Accounts payable arise when a
company purchases goods or services on credit from a
supplier. When the company pays the supplier, the
company's accounts payable is reduced.
EQUITY Equity is used to mean the combination of liabilities and
owner's equity. For example, some restate the
basic accounting equation Assets = Liabilities +
Owner's Equity to become Assets = Equities. Equity is also
used to indicate an owner's interest in a personal asset
REVENUE Fees earned from providing services and the amounts of
merchandise sold. Under the accrual basis
of accounting, revenues are recorded at the time of
delivering the service or the merchandise, even if cash is not
received at the time of delivery. Often the term income is
used instead of revenues.

The cost of goods sold is reported on the income statement and can
be considered as an expense of the accounting period. ... The second
way to calculate the cost of goods sold is to use the following costs:
beginning inventory + the cost of goods purchased or manufactured =
cost of goods available – ending inventory.
The basic calculation cost of goods sold is:
Beginning Inventory Costs (at the beginning of the year)
Plus Additional Inventory Cost (inventory purchased during the year)
Minus Ending Inventory (at the end of the year)
Equals Cost of Goods Sold.

Double Entry System
The double entry system of accounting or bookkeeping means that every business
transaction will involve two accounts (or more). For example, when a company
borrows money from its bank, the company's Cash account will increase and its
liability account Loans Payable will increase.
Double entry accounting, also called double entry bookkeeping, is the
accounting system that requires every business transaction or event to be recorded
in at least two accounts. This is the same concept behind the accounting equation.
Every debit that is recorded must be matched with a credit.

• At the end of each accounting period to summarise the
situation.
• Once a year to calculate profit.
• To see what is happening with respect to a particular account.

To balance, we will use a five-step approach.
1. Add up both sides to find out their totals. Note: do not write
anything in the account at this stage.
2. Deduct the smaller total from the larger total to find the
balance.
3. Now enter the balance on the side with the smallest total.
This now means the totals will be equal.

Three-column accounts
 Three-column accounts do not use the format of the T-
account.
 There are three columns and the third column provides a
running total of the balance.
 Three-column accounts are very similar to the bank
statement you will receive for a current account.
Key Term List
Accounting A system that measures the business’s activities in financial terms,
provides written reports and financial statements about those activities, and
communicates these reports to decision makers and others.
Accounts payable Amounts owed to creditors that result from the purchase of
goods or services on account: a liability.
Accounts receivable An asset that indicates amounts owed by customers.
Assets Properties (resources) of value owned by a business (cash, supplies,
equipment, land).
Balance sheet A statement, as of a particular date, that shows the amount of assets

(owner’s equity) who supply the assets to a firm.
Expanded accounting equation Assets = Liabilities + Capital 2 Withdrawals +

expenses increase, there is a decrease in owner’s equity.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)The procedures and
guidelines that must be followed during the accounting process.

    Accounting /Accounting Processis a system that measures the activities of a business in financial terms. It provides various reports and financial statements that show how the various transactions the business undertook (e.g., buying and selling goods) affected the business. This accounting process performs the following functions:  Analysing: Looking at what happened and how the business was affected.  Recording: Putting the information into the accounting system.  Classifying: Grouping all the same activities (e.g., all purchases) together.  Summarizing: Totaling the results.  Reporting: Issuing the statements that tell the results of the previous functions. DefinitDefinition of Accounting ion

  • 4.
    This concept assumesthat, for accounting purposes, the business enterprise and its owners are two separate independent entities. Thus, the business and personal transactions of its owner are separate. For example, when the owner invests money in the business, it is recorded as liability of the business to the owner. Similarly, when the owner takes away from the business cash/goods for his/her personal use, it is not treated as business expense. Thus, the accounting records are made in the books of accounts from the point of view of the business unit and not the person owning the business. This concept is the very basis of accounting. Business entity concept
  • 5.
    This concept statesthat a business firm will continue to carry on its activities for an indefinite period of time. Simply stated, it means that every business entity has continuity of life. Thus, it will not be dissolved in the near future. This is an important assumption of accounting, as it provides a basis for showing the value of assets in the balance sheet; For example, a company purchases a plant and machinery of Rm100000.00 and its life span is 10 years. According to this concept every year some amount will be shown as expenses and the balance amount as an asset. Thus, if an amount is spent on an item which will be used in business for many years, it will not be proper to charge the amount from the revenues of the year in which the item is acquired. Only a part of the value is shown as expense in the year of purchase and the remaining balance is shown as an asset. GOING CONCERN CONCEPT
  • 6.
    All the transactionsare recorded in the books of accounts on the assumption that profits on these transactions are to be ascertained for a specified period. This is known as accounting period concept. Thus, this concept requires that a balance sheet and profit and loss account should be prepared at regular intervals. This is necessary for different purposes like, calculation of profit, ascertaining financial position, tax computation etc. Further, this concept assumes that, indefinite life of business is divided into parts. These parts are known as Accounting Period. It may be of one year, six months, three months, one month, etc. But usually one year is taken as one accounting period which may be a calendar year or a financial year. Year that begins from 1 st of January and ends on 31 st of December, is known as Calendar Year. The year that begins from 1st of April and ends on 31 st of March of the following year, is known as financial year. As per accounting period concept, all the transactions are recorded in the books of accounts for a specified period of time. Hence, goods purchased and sold during the period, rent, salaries etc. paid for the period are accounted for and against that period only. ACCOUNTING PERIOD CONCEPT
  • 7.
    Accounting cost conceptstates that all assets are recorded in the books of accounts at their purchase price, which includes cost of acquisition, transportation and installation and not at its market price. It means that fixed assets like building, plant and machinery, furniture, etc are recorded in the books of accounts at a price paid for them. For example, a machine was purchased by XYZ Limited for Rs.500000, for manufacturing shoes. An amount of Rs.1,000 were spent on transporting the machine to the factory site. In addition, Rs.2000 were spent on its installation. The total amount at which the machine will be recorded in the books of accounts would be the sum of all these items i.e. Rs.503000. This cost is also known as historical cost. Suppose the market price of the same is now Rs 90000 it will not be shown at this value. Further, it may be clarified that cost means original or acquisition cost only for new assets and for the used ones, cost means original cost less depreciation. The cost concept is also known as historical cost concept. The effect of cost concept is that if the business entity does not pay anything for acquiring an asset this item would not appear in the books of accounts. Thus, goodwill appears in the accounts only if the entity has purchased this intangible asset for a price. ACCOUNTING COST CONCEPT

    Dual aspect isthe foundation or basic principle of accounting. It provides the very basis of recording business transactions in the books of accounts. This concept assumes that every transaction has a dual effect, i.e. it affects two accounts in their respective opposite sides. Therefore, the transaction should be recorded at two places. It means, both the aspects of the transaction must be recorded in the books of accounts. For example, goods purchased for cash has two aspects which are (i) Giving of cash (ii) Receiving of goods. These two aspects are to be recorded. Thus, the duality concept is commonly expressed in terms of fundamental accounting equation : Assets = Liabilities + Capital DUAL ASPECT CONCEPT
  • 9.
     The aboveaccounting equation states that the assets of a business are always  equal to the claims of owner/owners and the outsiders. This claim is also  termed as capital or owners equity and that of outsiders, as liabilities or  creditors’ equity. DUAL ASPECT CONCEPT (Cont)

    1. Capital broughtin by the owner of the business The two aspects in this transaction are : (i) Receipt of cash (ii) Increase in Capital (owners equity) 2. Purchase of machinery by cheque The two aspects in the transaction are (i) Reduction in Bank Balance (ii) Owning of Machinery Let us analyse some more business transactions in terms of their dual aspect :
  • 11.
    3. Goods soldfor cash The two aspects are (i) Receipt of cash (ii) Delivery of goods to the customer 4. Rent paid in cash to the landlord The two aspects are (i) Payment of cash (ii) Rent (Expenses incurred). Let us analyse some more business transactions in terms of their dual aspect :
  • 12.
    This concept statesthat revenue from any business transaction should be included in the accounting records only when it is realised. The term realisation means creation of legal right to receive money. Selling goods is realisation, receiving order is not. In other words, it can be said that : Revenue is said to have been realised when cash has been received or right to receive cash on the sale of goods or services or both has been created. Let us study the following examples : (i) N.P. Jeweller received an order to supply gold ornaments worth RM500000. They supplied ornaments worth RM200000 up to the year ending 31 st December 2005 and rest of the ornaments were supplied in January 2006. (ii) Bansal sold goods for RM1,00,000 for cash in 2006 and the goods have been delivered during the same year. REALISATION CONCEPT
  • 13.
    The meaning ofaccrual is something that becomes due especially an amount of money that is yet to be paid or received at the end of the accounting period. It means that revenues are recognised when they become receivable. Though cash is received or not received and the expenses are recognised when they become payable though cash is paid or not paid. Both transactions will be recorded in the accounting period to which they relate. Therefore, the accrual concept makes a distinction between the accrual receipt of cash and the right to receive cash as regards revenue and actual payment of cash and obligation to pay cash as regards expenses. ACCRUAL CONCEPT
  • 14.
    The matching conceptstates that the revenue and the expenses incurred to earn the revenues must belong to the same accounting period. So once the revenue is realised, the next step is to allocate it to the relevant accounting period. This can be done with the help of accrual concept. Profit or Loss ? MATCHING CONCEPT

    DEBIT Explanation andExample ASSET Examples include cash, investments, accounts receivable, inventory, supplies land, buildings, equipment, and vehicles. Assets are reported on the balance sheet usually at cost or lower. Assets are also part of the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's (Stockholders') Equity. DRAW The withdrawal of business cash or other assets by the owner for the personal use of the owner. Withdrawals of cash by the owner are recorded with a debit to the owner's drawing account and a credit to the cash account. (Draw by owner for what ever purpose) EXPENSES An expense in accounting is the money spent or cost incurred in an entity's efforts to generate revenue. Expenses represent the cost of doing business where doing business is the sum total of the activities directed towards making a profit. DC ADE LER / DACE CLER
  • 19.
    CREDIT Explanation andExample LIABILITY A liability is an obligation and it is reported on a company's balance sheet. A common example of a liability is accounts payable. Accounts payable arise when a company purchases goods or services on credit from a supplier. When the company pays the supplier, the company's accounts payable is reduced. EQUITY Equity is used to mean the combination of liabilities and owner's equity. For example, some restate the basic accounting equation Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity to become Assets = Equities. Equity is also used to indicate an owner's interest in a personal asset REVENUE Fees earned from providing services and the amounts of merchandise sold. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded at the time of delivering the service or the merchandise, even if cash is not received at the time of delivery. Often the term income is used instead of revenues. DC ADE LER / DACE CLER

    Double Entry System Thedouble entry system of accounting or bookkeeping means that every business transaction will involve two accounts (or more). For example, when a company borrows money from its bank, the company's Cash account will increase and its liability account Loans Payable will increase. Double entry accounting, also called double entry bookkeeping, is the accounting system that requires every business transaction or event to be recorded in at least two accounts. This is the same concept behind the accounting equation. Every debit that is recorded must be matched with a credit.
