Introduction Does anyone use and need accounting? Yes, everyone uses and needs accounting information in one form or another. For example, when you think about buying a dress or a pair of shoes you shall use accounting information to determine whether you can afford it or not. Likewise, when you are deciding to atted college, you have to consider the costs ( the tuition, textbooks, and other expenses). In most likelihood you would also consider the benefits of this decision which may include the ability to obtain a higher-paying job or a more desirable occupation. Is accounting important to you? Yes, accounting is important both in your personal life as well as in your career, even though you may not become as accountant. Accounting as the Language of Business Accounting is called the language of business. It is important to understand this language in order to work effectively in the business world. Accounting clerks, bookkeepers, and accountants must understand accounting to perform their jobs. Accounting skills provide additional job opportunities for sales clerks, customer service representatives and office workers. Small business owners need accounting knowledge to run their business effectively. Knowing the language of accounting helps one understand the impact of economic events on a specific company. Whether one intends to work in accounting or in another area, it is important to have a clear understanding of this language. An understanding of the principles of accounting is of paramount importance to a modern business executive. Without it, the executive lacks fundamental tool needed for problem-solving. The primary objective in this text is to illustrate basic financial accounting concepts that will help you to make good not only personal but also business decisions. What is Accounting? Accounting is the systematic process of measuring and reporting relevant financial information about the activities of an economic organization or unit. Its uderlying purpose is to provide financial information. It is capable of being expressed in monetary terms. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) defines accounting asa the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transaction, and events, which are in part atleast of a financial character, and interpreting the result thereof. The Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) defines accounting as a service. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primary financial in nature, about economic entities, tat is intended to be useful in making economic decisions.

Nature of Accounting The nature of accounting is in its definition as follows: 1 Accounting is a systematic process. Process is a series of actions that produce something or that lead to a particular result. As such, the performance of the four aspect of accounting, which are recording, classifying, summarizing, and interpreting leads to communicating to its users the relevant financial information needed by the parties interested. 2 Accounting is an art. Art is a skill acquired by experience, study, or observation. It is also defined as an occupation requiring knowledge or skill. The four aspects of accounting require both knowledge and skill through experience, study or observation as a means to produce the key end product which are the financial reports. 3 Accounting is a service activity. Service is the occupation or function of serving. Activity is something that is done as work or for a particular purpose. Combining the meaning of the two words, accounting is a work or occupation for serving a particular purpose. Hence, since its purpose is to provide financial information, the data that it will process in terms of the four aspects of accounting should be expressed in monetary terms. In short, it is interested in activities that can be measured and expressed in terms of the value of money. Four Aspects of Accounting 1 2 3 4

Recording - writing down of business transactions chronologically in the books of account as they transfer. Classifying - sorting similar and relatedbusiness transactions into the three categories of assets, and owner's equity. Summarizing - preparing the financial statements from the transactions recorded in the books of account that are designed to meet the information needs of its users. Interpreting - representing the qualitative and quantitative financial information about the business transactions in a language comprehensible to the users of financial statements. By interpreting the data in the financial statements, users are able to determine the financial standing of the company as well as its stability and growth potential. Users interpret financial information relating to specific business decisions.

The Basic Function of Accounting in Business The aspect of accountinng can be summed up to one basic function which is the generation of relevant and timely financial information for interested parties. The data provided by accountants can assist investors, government agencies, creditors, and management in making sound decisions. The financial information provided about the activities of an economic organization makes it easily comprehensible for users to assess its financial position as of a given time and results of operations for a given period.used This qualitative and quantitative financial data by users relating to specific business decisions makes accounting the language of business.

A Brief History of Accounting Ancient Accounting in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome The history of accounting dates back to ancient times. The abacus which functioned as a calculator in the ancient times, was developed by the Sumerians in 5,000 BCE followed by the papyrus which was developed by ancient Egyptians in 4,000 BCE. The papyrus not only allowed recording of commercial transactions but also the transcription of religious text, music, literature, and more. In Egypt, archaeologist Dr. Gunter Dreyer of the German Institute of Archaeology unearthed clay tablets considered to be amoung the oldest written tax accounting records. Mesopotamia had clay tokens and clay tablets to record their loans, herds, crops, and system of trade. The scribes who performed extensive duties in writing and recording in the Mesopotamian civilization are the equivalent of present-day accountants. Aside from writing down commercial transactions, scribes assured that the agreements were in compliance with the detailed code requirements for commercial transactions. The Greeks also made significant contributions to the development of accounting. In 600 BCE, they introduced money in the form of coins. Moreover, they adopted the Phoenician writing system and invented a Greek alphabet which they used to facilitate record-keeping. As early as those times, bankers in Greece offered credit and helped people transfer funds to banks in other cities as evidenced by the bankers' books of account. It was the same in Rome where accounting helped established their finance and legal system. The Romans introduced the use of an annual budget which coordinated estimated revenues and taxes paid by the citizen in relation to the nation's expenditures. A cash book was maintained by households for their expenses. 14th Century - The Birth of Double-Entry Bokkeeping During the 14th century, Luca Pacioli of Italy, otherwise known as Friar Luca dal Borgo, a mathematician and considered to be the the "Father of Accounting" wrote Summa de Arithmetica, Geometri, Proportioni et Proportionalita (Everything About Arithmetic, Geometry and Proportion). One section of this book, De Computis et Scripturis (of Reckonings and Writings), composed of 36 short chapters that describe bookkeeping. The accounting cycle, similar to the modern day accounting cycle is also included in this book. The book also explains the extensively used balance sheet of today, the method of using memorandums journals and ledgers, the use of accounts such as assets, liabilities, owner's equity, revenue and expenses, year-end closing entries, and the use of the trial balance to prove a balanced ledger. 19th Century - The Dawn of Modern Accounting in Europe and America Domination of the Theories of accounts (rather than accounting theories) marked not only the beginning but also the latter part of the nineteenth century. In England, the Industrial Revolution which replaced hand tools with machine or power tools, otherwise known as the factory system, transformed accounting into an actual profession. Businesses continued to expand requiring the expertise of accountants to gain corporate control of their flourishing business. In Scotland, Queen Victoria granted a royal charter to the Institute of Accountants in Glasgow on July 6, 1854, thereby creating the profession of chartered accountants (CA). Thus, accounting became a formal profession. In the latter part of the 19th century, because large amounts of British capital were invested in flourishing industries in the United States, Scottish or British chartered accountants were sent to the United States to audit British investments. Some of these accountants decided to stay in America and became provenances of various accounting firms which they set up to practice their profession. The year 1887 saw the birth of the first national US accounting society. The American Association of Public Accountants which provided a formal

certification process for accountants was the predecessor of the present American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). 20th Century - The Evolution of Modern Accounting Standards The American Institute of Certified Accountants (AICPA), the first national professional association for Certified Public Account (CPA), was formed in the young but prosperous nation of the United States. Because of economic depression, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was formed. Periodic reports vouched by certified public accountants were filed by all public-traded companies who had to register with the SEC before selling their securities to the public. Thus, the AICPA was tasked to set the accounting and auditing standards for these reports until the establishment of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in 1973. The FASB is the result of the demand for more reliable and comparable financial reporting by the Congress and SEC. Thus, the FASB and the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) are currently two of the significant authorities establishing the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the US. In response to the continuing expansion of businesses, large accounting firms offered consultancy services aside from their auditing function. The Information Age The Information Age, otherwise known as the Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age, has brought about a significant change in the work load of accountants. Manual, tedious and time-consuming tasks were replaced by faster and more accurate computer methods. Transactions can be consummated online with the help of the internet. Various software applications in accounting have been developed to expedite procedures and accommodate the numerous needs and demands of the different bisinesses. 21st Century - Accounting in the Modern Times The 21st century opened with the replacement of the International Accocunting Standards Committee (IASC) by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) establishes in January 2001. In the same year, the Enron Scandal, the greatest corporate fraud case recorded in American history, caused Arthur Andersen, one of the top audit firms in the United States to close business. In order to protect investors from corporate misinformation, the Subanes-Oxley Act was passed by US Congress in 2002. The impose tougher restrictions on accountants conducting consultancy services. With constant developments in modern technology and the globalization of businesses, accountants continue to cope up with the changing trends. Many countries including the Philippines have adopted the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in order to support comparability and understandability of financial statements across the globe. As a result, the accountants of today reduces, the time, effort, and cost of recordkeeping, minimizes errors as well as a processes, and summarizes large volumes of data input. As such, accountants must always be updated with the latest innovations affecting their profession. The Different Branches of Accounting 1. Financial Accounting Financial accounting deals with the theoretical framework covering accounting principles and concepts relative to measurement and valuation as applied to assets, liabilities, stockholder's equity, retained earnings, revenue, and expense accounts in relation to the preparation and presentation of financial statements.

The professional accountant imparts knowledge to students enrolled in an accounting subject either in basic accounting or higher accounting subjects. Accountants in the usually take post graduate studies to achieve the required tenure. 8. Accounting Research Accounting research involves conducting a careful and diligent study aimed at discovering and interpreting facts, revising accepted theories in the light of new facts, or the practical application of such new or revised theories for the generation of a new knowledge.

Accounting Concepts and Principles The Accounting Equation

Learning Objectives: After studying this module, you should be able to: 1. Define generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 2. Know and appreciate the basic accounting principles used in the practice of accounting 3. Identify the qualities that make accounting information useful 4. Explain and describe the various basic accounting concepts 5. Explain the accounting equation and its elements

T

he basic concepts are the ground rules that govern how accountant smeasure, process, and communicate financial information. These principles have been developed by the accounting profession over the years to provide a consistent system of financial reporting in a constantly changing business environment. These frameworks assure users of financial statements that the reports are prepared in specific ways so that they are reliable and comparable since usefulness of these reports rests on their reliability and comparability. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) ▪

These are broad, general statements or "rules" and "procedures" that serve as guides in the practice of accounting.

▪

These are standards, assumptions, and concepts with general acceptability

▪

These are measurements techniques and standards used in the presentation and preparation of financial statements.

Accounting system comprises the methods used by a business to keep records of its financial activities and to summarize these accounts in periodic accounting reports. Transaction is a completed action which can be expressed in monetary terms. Fundamental Concepts 1. Entity Concept regards the business enterprises a separate and distinct from its owners and from other business enterprises. Example: Dr. Teng has a skin clinic and a spa. The skin clinic is considered as a separate entity distinct from the spa and the owner, Dr. Teng. The expenses of the skin clinic should not be mixed with the expenses of the spa and the personal expenses of Dr. Teng. The two businesses are considered to be separated economic units, separate and distinct from their owner. As such, they should be treated as a different from each other, although owned and operated by only one person. Hence, the personal expenses of Dr. Teng should not be mixed with the expenses of any of the businesses. 2. Periodicity is the concept behind providing financial accounting information about the economic activities of an enterprise of an enterprise for specified time periods. For reporting purposes, one year is usually considered as one accounting period. An accounting period may be classified as either of the following: a. Calendar year - a twelve-month period that starts on January 1 and ends on December 31. b. Fiscal year - a twelve-month period that starts on any month of the year other than January and ends twelve months after the starting period, e.g., a business whose fiscal year starts May 1, 2019 ends its fiscal year on April 30, 2020. Note: A natural business year is any twelve-month period that ends when business activities are at their lowest point.

3. Going Concern is a concept which assumes that the business enterprise will continue to operate indefinitely. Example: In preparing the financial statements of the skin clinic and the spa, the accountant assumes that the businesses will not close or shut operations within the next years. Basic Accounting Principles 1. Objectivity principle states that all business transactions that will be entered in the accounting records must be duly supported by verifiable evidence. Example: Payments must be supported by official receipts and bank deposits must be supported by deposit slips. 2. Historical cost means that all properties and services acquired by the business must be recorded at their original acquisition cost. Example: Land bought in 2005 for two million pesos should be recorded at two million pesos even though its market value is the year 2020 is already three million pesos. 3. Accrual principle states that income should be recognized at the time it is earned such as when goods are delivered or when services have been rendered. Likewise, expenses should be recognized at the time they are incurred, such as when goods and services are actually used and not at the time when the entity pays for the goods and services. Example: A resort cannot consider as income the advance payment of a customer who paid his two-week resort accommodation in advance until the customer has checked in. This is because the resort has not yet rendered the service to the customer. As such, the advance payment by the customer should be considered as a liability on the part of the resort in the form of service to be rendered. 4. Adequate disclosure states that all material facts that will significantly affect the financial statements must be indicated. Example: Land bought at two million pesos in 2005 should be recorded at historical cost in in the 2020 financial statements. However, the current market value of three million pesos in the year 2020 may be indicated in the financial statements for the uear 2020 in the form of a footnote or parenthetical note, 5. Materiality means that financial reporting is only concern with information significant enough to affect decisions. This refers to the relative importance of an item or event. An item is considered significant if knowledge of it would influence prudent users of the financial statements. Example: Items of insignificant among such as paper clips can be charged outright to expenses. 6. Consistency means that approaches used in reporting must be uniformly employed from period to period to allow comparison of results between time periods. Any changes must be clearly explained. Example: If the straight line method of depreciation is being used by the company, then the method should be uniformly used by the company in computing its annual depreciation.

The Accounting Equation The financial statements are based on the most basic principle of accounting, the accounting equation. This equation expresses the constant relationship among the assets, liabilities and owner's equity. This is often expresed as

Economic Resources = Claims to Economic Resources or Assets = Liabilities + Owner(s)' Equity

In this equation, assets appear on the left-hand side while the economic claims against the assets, the liabilities ad owner(s)' equity appear on the right-hand side. It means that assets must equal equities, which consist of liabilities (the creditor's equity) plus capital, the owner's equity in their business. The three elements of financial statements that report the status of an entity at a particular time are assets, liabilities, and equity. A. Assets, liabilities, and equity are linked by the basic accounting equation. The relationship between the status elements is expressed by the basic accounting equation as follows: ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITY or A = L + E B. Assets are present economic resources controlled by the entity as a result of past events. An economic resource is a right that has the potential to produce economic benefits. To qualify as assets, the resources must: a) have the potential to produce economic benefits. b) be under management's control (can be freely deployed or disposed of). c) result from past transactions (be in place now, as opposed to being under contract for manufacture, creation or delivery). C. Liabilities are present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resources as a result of past events. An obligation is a duty or responsibility that the ntity has no practical ability to avoid.

To qualify as liabilities, obligation must: a) require transfer of economic benefits. b) specify to whom that assets must be transferred (the terms, parties, and conditions under which assets transfers will take place must be specified). c) result from past operations (be binding obligations now, as opposed to obligation that will exist once pending transacions are completed). d) represent a duty or responsibility that the entity has no practical ability to avoid. D. Equity is the owner's residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after liabilities are deducted. As just stated, liabilities are sources of resources provided by creditors. It follows, than that equity of an entity is the amount of resources (assets) provided by sources other than creditors which comes from the owner(s).

Illustration 1. Given liabilities of ₱50,000 and the owner's equity of ₱150,000, find the value of assets. Solution: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity = ₱50,000 + ₱ 150,000 = ₱200,000 2. Given assets of ₱180,000 and the owner's equity of ₱110,000, find the liabilities. Solution: Liabilities = Assets - Owner's Equity = ₱180,000 - ₱ 110,000 = ₱70,000 3. Given assets of ₱250,000 and liabilities of ₱90,000, find the owner's equity. Solution: Owner's Equity = Assets - Liabilities = ₱250,000 - ₱ 90,000 = ₱160,000
