This document summarizes a webinar presented by Adult Learning Australia on cash and accrual accounting. It introduces cash and accrual accounting methods, explaining that cash accounting records transactions when money is received or spent, while accrual accounting allocates revenue and expenses to the appropriate time period based on when the transaction occurred. Examples are provided to illustrate the difference, showing how accounting periods are reported under each method. The webinar aims to explain the differences and how accrual accounting provides a more accurate picture of a company's financial situation.

On the way home, you see that nice little bookshelf, the one you have admired for months. You know that the monthly household rent of $1000 is due in two weeks (April 1), there is food in the fridge, and there are no bills on the kitchen bench. Your regular birthday money from Grandma hasn’t arrived, but it is due any day and she has sent you $250 each year for the past 10 years! You see that the bookshelf has been reduced to $400…. You are very tempted, (little knowing that there is a $300 telephone bill for the month in the mail heading towards you!) The bookshelf is a bargain! Should you buy it?

Editor's Notes
- Wrote books on mathematics, chess, magic..Franciscan monk, born in 1447 and moved to Venice in 1464Eventually worked with Leonardo da Vinci. Published a textbook in Venice 1494, for use in the schools of Northern Italy. It was a synthesis of the mathematical knowledge of his time It is also notable for including the first published description of the method of bookkeeping that Venetian merchants used during the Italian Renaissance, known as the double-entry accounting system.The system he published included most of the accounting cycle as we know it today. He described the use of journals and ledgers, and warned that a person should not go to sleep at night until the debits equalled the credits. His ledger had accounts for assets (including receivables and inventories), liabilities, capital, income, and expenses — the account categories that are reported on an organization's balance sheet and income statement, respectively. He demonstrated year-end closing entries and proposed that a trial balance be used to prove a balanced ledger. Also, his treatise touches on a wide range of related topics from accounting ethics to cost accounting.For a wonderful read, check out “Double Entry” by Jane Gleeson-White.Rollicking…
- Even in the simplest methods, we use DE bookkeeping.Our organisation gets a donation, we show it as income in the profit and loss accounts as Donations.And the other side of the entry is that it appears in an Asset Account in our Balance Sheet as Cash in the Bank.One side is something we earn, and it is now matched with something we own, cash at bank…Sometimes we can just change one thing to another.. Eg cash at bank becomes a computer.. One asset to another.
