1. Bookkeeping involves recording financial transactions so a business can ascertain its financial position. Accounting builds on this by classifying, interpreting, and communicating this information to various users.
2. Accounts can be personal (related to individuals or entities) or impersonal (related to things). Impersonal accounts are further divided into real accounts (for assets) and nominal accounts (for other items).
3. Key users of accounting information include governments, employees, competitors, banks, creditors, financial analysts, shareholders/owners, managers, auditors, and investors - each with their own reasons for needing this data.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF ACCOUNTING
There is no existence on earth that has no origin. The evolution of accounting history which began thousands
of years ago could be traced to have originated during ancient civilization. The developments in writing,
counting and money are believed to have played significant roles in the development of accounting. The
reason is that โwritingโ is a means of communication; โcountingโ is the process of listing or mentioning of
numbers from the first to the last, making sure that none would be repeated at the end of the counting
exercise; and โmoneyโ is an acceptable medium of exchange. A proper knowledge of the trio can make
memorisation and documentation of financial transactions easy.
The development of accounting in the ancient days could be traced back to the ancient Mesopotamia,
Babylon, Assyria and Samaria. Accounting records and other documents that contained lists of
expenditures, purchases and sales of goods were found in those countries about seven thousand years ago.
The ancient Egyptian civilization also contributed as paintings of early accounting records and activities
were exhibited on temples and accounting systems similar to modern day systems were used for recording
the cost of labour and materials used for construction of monumental structures such as the pyramids
thousands of years ago.
In spite of the surrounding arguments over the first person that invented double entry bookkeeping
system, Luca Pacioli, an Italian is widely acknowledged as the father of modern accounting and
bookkeeping and is recognised as the first person to publish a book on double entry bookkeeping in
1494.
THE PRINCIPLE OF DOUBLE ENTRY BOOK- KEEPING AND THE TRIAL BALANCE
1. THE PRINCIPLE OF DOUBLE ENTRY BOOK-KEEPING: -
The principle of double entry states that every financial transaction must be recorded twice, once on the
credit side of one account and again on the debit side of another account. This is the foundation of
accounting, any accounting records not kept in line with this principle is said to be single entry and will
result to keeping incomplete records.
2. THE TRIAL BALANCE: -
Is not an account, it is a schedule used for testing arithmetical accuracy of the records kept by using the
principle of double entry. If the two sides give the same total or agree it is assumed that no errors occurred
when the account were prepared. However, the disagreement of the two sides shows that some errors must
have occurred when the account were prepared. Any difference between two sides will be transferred to
suspense account pending the time the error(s) will be corrected. There are some errors that may not affect
the agreement of the two sides of the

TRADING, PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND THE BALANCE SHEET
The aim of every business is not to make profit but to maximize profit. For this reason, every business that
wants to maximize profit must try as much as possible to minimize cost. In other to ascertain whether a
business is making a profit or not, two main accounts will be prepared (the trading, profit and loss accounts).
The preparation of these accounts is just a continuation of the double entry principles. These accounts are
also known as the final accounts.
TRADING ACCOUNT: -The trading account is prepared in other to ascertain the gross profit of a business
within a given financial period. Gross profit = Net sales โ cost of goods sold. Gross profit is the difference
between Net sales and cost of goods sold. The debit side of the trading account is used for recording items
like:
1. Opening stock
2. Purchases
3. Carriage inwards
4. Returns out wards
5. Closing stock
On the other hand, the credit side is used for recording sales and returns inwards if any.
PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
This account is prepared in order to ascertain the net profit/loss of the business for the period under
consideration. This account starts from where the trading account stopped. The credit side is used for
recording gross profit and any other items of income nature such as; -
1. Gross profit
2. Discount received
3. Profit on sale of asset
4. Bad debit recovered, etc.
The debit side is used for recording other expenses incurred in other to make or generate revenue such as:
1. Salaries and wages
2. Telephone expenses
3. Electrical expenses
4. Stationary
5. Motor expenses
6. Depreciation
7. Discount allowed
8. Loss on sales of asset
9. Interest on money borrowed to generate income
10. Bad debts
6. 6
11. Provision for bad debt etc
NOTE: -On no account should items like motor vans, Land, building plant and machinery, furniture, etc
be recorded i
n the profit and loss account.
THE BALANCE SHEET: -The balance sheet is not an account. It is a schedule or a statement that shows
the value of the assets and liabilities of a business at a given period. For this reason, it is divided into (2)
sides.
1. The right-hand side, which is used for recording all the assets of the business and
2. The left-hand side, which is used for recording the capital and the other liabilities of the business.
