Bookkeeping and Accounting


Bookkeeping – it is the consistent recording, storing, and retrieving of daily
financial transactions for a company, non – profit, individual and other forms of
business. Of these responsibilities, perhaps the most important is maintaining the
general ledger. In short, bookkeeping can be summed up as the recording of
financial data – a process that is largely systematic.
Accounting – it is a subjective process. At its core, accounting is a high –
level processes that takes financial information and produces financial models based
on that data. In other words, accounting takes the information from bookkeeper’s
records and uses it to reveal the bigger financial picture.

SUMUGAT
It’s clear that bookkeepers are primarily responsible for identifying, measuring,
and recording financial transactions. On the other hand, accountants are focused on
summarizing, interpreting, and communicating financial transactions. While these
roles are very different, the two are highly interconnected. Without the meticulous
records kept by bookkeepers, accountant could not produce their analytical
evaluation and interpretations. In return, bookkeepers depend on the accountants to
provide them with a clear idea of what information must be logged and the proper
structure of keeping records.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
GAAP generally represents a collection of broad concepts and detailed practices
that represent best accounting practices as it is accepted at a given time. Companies
reporting according to GAAP provides a measure of uniformity so that those auditing
or examining financial statements have a foundation from which to compare
performance to a specific period or company.

Criteria for General Acceptance of an Accounting Principle


1. Relevance - this means that a principle should result in information that is
meaningful and useful to the decision-makers.
2. Objectivity - a principle should be objective in the sense that information
derived is not influenced by any personal bias or judgment by
anyone.
3. Feasibility - this pertains to the extent of the implementation of a principle
without undue cost or complexity.

Basic Principles in Accounting

1. Objectivity Principle - this states that the financial statements of any


organization should be based on factual evidence. The intention
behind this principle is that management and accountants should
keep from producing biased financial statements.
2. Historical Cost - this is a measure of the value used in accounting wherein an
asset is recorded at its actual cost rather than what the management
thinks it is worth at the time of reporting.

3. Revenue Recognition - under accrual accounting, this a principle which states
that an entity should only record revenue when it has been earned,
not when related cash or payment is collected.
4. Expense Recognition - under accrual accounting, this states that an expense
should be recognized by the entity when has incurred it regardless of
when it has been paid.
5. Adequate Disclosure - this states that all relevant or essential information
should be included in the financial statements. It should be able to
provide needed information to different users to understand the
entity’s financial situation.
6. Materiality - this expresses that can report financial statements with
information that is significant enough to affect evaluations and
decisions. It serves as a threshold or cutoff point after which a certain
financial information becomes relevant to the decisions of the users
of information. Materiality is generally relative to an entity’s size or
particular circumstances. A million worth of assets could be material
to a small convenience store but not for a multi-national corporation.
7. Consistency Principle - this refers to the use of similar accounting methods
from period to period to achieve comparability. However, changes
are permitted if they are justified and disclosed in the financial
statements.

TYPES OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Define different types of Business Organization
2. Differentiate each types of Business

There are different types of business operating in the Philippines or


specifically in Region 12, from small scale business to large scale business. We will
know about the ownership type of this business in this topic.

Types of Business Organization


Sole Proprietorship - owned by only one person. It is easy to set up and least
costly among all forms of ownership. The owner makes all the decisions for the
business but carries unlimited liability which means creditors of the business venture
may go after the former’s personal assets if they cannot pay them.
Partnership - owned by two or more individuals who contribute resources into
the entity with the intention of dividing the profits among themselves. Partners
generally share the risks involved in running the business as well as making
decisions.
Corporation - a business organized under operation of law and has a separate
legal entity from its owners. Ownership in a corporation is usually represented by
shares of stock and are called shareholders. Shareholders usually have limited
liability but may have little influence in making business decisions.

such as farming, mining, and oil.
5. Infrastructure - pertains to selling of the utilization of an infrastructure.
6. Financial - a type of business which accepts cash from depositors which
allows the latter to gain interest. Financial institutions use the money
deposited by clients to provide loans to borrowers and charging them
with fees and a higher interest rate than the interest earned by the
depositors.
7. Insurance - this is the pooling of premiums paid by customers to meet the
claims of the few. Insurance companies invest the money paid by
customers to pay for the losses experienced by a few customers.

Note: There are also hybrid businesses which combine more than one type of
business. For example, a restaurant cooks ingredients in making a meal
(manufacturing), sells cold bottles of beverage (merchandising), and also attends to
customer orders and needs (service).

Activities in Business Organizations

The illustration above shows that a raw data (input) is processed to become a
useful accounting information (output). Each transaction entered into the accounting
system should be supported by source documents like invoices, deposit slips,
checks, and time cards and memos. These documents will serve as evidence that a
certain transaction actually transpired. It is also worthy to note that source
documents must be legitimate and verified to help users of information gain
confidence in reporting the financial information processed from it. The computer,
with the use of an accounting software processes these inputs. However, in this
chapter the manual system of journalizing, posting, preparing the trial balance, and
updating the accounts will be discussed to fully understand how a raw data becomes
information.

Elements of Financial Statement


Element Definition
Financial Position
(Balance Sheet)
a. Asset A present economic resource controlled by the
entity as a result of past events. An economic
resource is a right that has the potential to produce
economic benefits. There are three (3) aspects that
must be remembered with the definition of assets -
control, rights, potential to produce and economic
b. Liability benefits.

A present obligation of the entity to transfer an


economic resource as a result of past events. For a
liability to exist, three criteria must ALL be satisfied:
a. The entity has an obligation;
b. The obligation is to transfer an economic
resource; and
c. Equity c. The obligation is a present obligation that
exists as a result of past events.

Equity is the residual interest in assets of the


enterprise after deducting all its liabilities. These
are the claims against the entity that do not meet
the definition of a liability. It pertains to the capital of
the owner in the business.

than those relating to contributions by holders of
equity claims.

b. Expenses This is a decrease in assets or increase in liabilities


that result in a decrease in equity, other than those
relating to contributions by holders of equity claims.

The Account
Each of the element in the financial statements have separate accounts. This
serves as a summary device in accounting where a detailed record of the increases,
decreases, and balances of each element. The simplest form of the account is
known as the “T” account because it is similar to the letter “T”. The T account has
three (3) parts as shown below:

The Accounting Equation


In accounting, it important to note that financial statements show how the
business is performing. They are the final products of the accounting process. The
most basic tool to understand accounting is the accounting equation using the
elements of the financial position or balance sheet. The accounting equation is as
shown below:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Date Developed: Nov. Document No.


16,2020

ROY VICTOR F. Revision # 000
SUMUGAT
Note that assets must ALWAYS be equal to liabilities and equity. Assets are on
the left side of the equation opposite to the liabilities and owner’s equity. This
explains why increases and decreases in assets are recorded in the opposite
manner or what is called the “mirror image” as liabilities and owner’s equity are
recorded. It also explains why liabilities and owner’s equity follow the same rules of
debit and credit.
The logic behind debiting and crediting is actually related to the accounting
equation. Transactions may require additions to both sides, the left and right sides,
or subtractions from both sides, or an addition and subtraction on the same side but
in all cases, both sides of the equation must always be EQUAL.

The Double-Entry System


The foundation of our knowledge in accounting lies in our understanding of the
double-entry system. Accounting is based on the double-entry system which means
recording the dual effects of a business transaction. A debit (Dr.) side entry must
always have a corresponding credit (Cr.) side entry. The double-entry system is
anchored on the notion that for every business transaction, there must be one or
more accounts debited and one or more accounts credited. Just like the accounting
equation, the left or debit side must be equal to the right or credit side.
Rules of Debit and Credit
The account type determines how increases or decreases in it are recorded. The
rules of debit and credit are as follows:

Balance Sheet Accounts


a. Increases in assets are recorded as debits (left side of the account)
b. Decreases in assets are recorded as credits (right side of the account)
c. Increases in liabilities and owner’s equity are recorded as credits (right
side of the account)
d. Decreases in liabilities and owner’s equity are recorded as debits (left
side of the account)
Income Statement Accounts

a. Increases in income are recorded as credits (right side of the account)
b. Decreases in income are recorded as debits (left side of the account)
c. Increases in expenses are recorded as debits (left side of the account)
d. Decreases in expenses are recorded as credits (right side of the
account)

Note: The rules of debit and credit for income and expense accounts are
based on their relationship to the owner’s equity account. Income increases
owner’s equity while expenses decreases it. Thus, income are recorded as
credits while expenses are recorded as debits.

To further illustrate the rules of debit and credit, look at the T account shown below:

Accounting Events and Transactions


An accounting event is an economic occurrence which causes change in an
entity’s assets, liabilities, and/or equity. Meanwhile, a transaction is a particular kind
of event that involves the transfer of something of value between two entities.

Types and Effects of Transactions


It is important to understand in the long-run a classification approach that
discusses the effects of accounting events. To summarize:
a. Source of Assets (SA) - an asset account increases and a corresponding
claims (liabilities or owner’s equity) account increases.

b. Exchange of Assets (EA) - one asset account decreases and another asset
account decreases.
c. Use of Assets (UA) - an asset account decreases and a corresponding
claims (liabilities or owner’s equity) account decreases.
d. Exchange of Claims (EC) - one claims (liabilities and owner’s equity)
account increases and another claims (liabilities and owner’s
equity) account decreases.

The four (4) types of transactions may further be expanded into nine (9) types of
effects, as follows:
a. Increase in Assets = Increase in Liabilities (SA)
b. Increase in Assets = Increase in Owner’s Equity (SA)
c. Increase in one Asset = Decrease in one Asset (EA)
d. Decrease in Asset = Decrease in Liabilities (UA)
e. Decrease in Asset = Decrease in Owner’s Equity (UA)
f. Increase in Liabilities = Decrease in Owner’s Equity (EC)
g. Increase in Owner’s Equity = Decrease in Liabilities (EC)
h. Increase in one Liability = Decrease in one Liability (EC)
i. Increase in one Owner’s Equity = Decrease in another Owner’s Equtiy (EC)

normal operating cycle;
b. It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
c. It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting
period; or
d. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (per PAS No. 7), unless the asset
is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period.
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and
their realization in cash or cash equivalents. When an entity’s normal operating cycle
is not clearly identifiable, it is assumed to be twelve months.

Typical account titles under current assets are:


Cash - any medium of exchange that a bank will accept for deposit at face
value. Includes coins, currency, checks, money orders, bank deposits,
and drafts.
Cash Equivalents - per PAS 7, these are short-term, highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Notes Receivable - a written pledge that the customer will pay the business
entity a fixed amount of money on a certain date
Accounts Receivable - these are claims against customers arising from sales
of goods or services on credit. Thus type of receivable has less
security compared to a promissory note.
Inventories - per PAS 2, these are assets which are: a) held for sale in the
ordinary course of business; b) in the process of production for such
sale; or c) in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in rendering services.
Prepaid Expenses - these are expenses paid for by the business entity in
advance. It is an asset because the business avoids having to pay
cash in the future for a specific expense. Common examples of prepaid
expenses are insurance and rent.

Property, Plant, and Equipment - per PAS 16, these are tangible assets that
are held by an enterprise for use in the production or supply of goods
or services, or for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and
which are expected to be used during more than one period.
Accumulated Depreciation - this is a contra asset account that contains the
sum of the periodic depreciated charges. This is deducted from the
cost of the related asset to obtain the net book value.
Intangible Assets - per PAS 38, these are identifiable, nonmonetary assets
without physical substance held for use in the production or supply of
goods and services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes.

Liabilities - classified into current and non-current


Current Liabilities
Per revised PAS 1, an entity shall classify a liability as current when:
a. It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
b. It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
c. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
or
d. The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Typical account titles used in current liabilities are:


Accounts Payable - this account represents the reverse relationship with
accounts receivable. It pertains to the liability of the business entity to
pay goods and services purchased on credit.
Notes Payable - is similar to the note receivable but in a reverse sense. In the
case of a note payable, the entity is the maker of the note promising to
pay the other party on a certain future date.

Accrued Liabilities - these are amounts owed by the entity to others for unpaid
expenses. Common examples are salaries payable, utilities payable,
interest payable, and tax payable.
Unearned Revenues - these are advance payments by customers availing the
goods or services of an entity. Under the liability method, this account
is considered a liability since the entity has yet to render of deliver the
service or goods. It becomes income only when the goods are
delivered or the services are performed.
Current portion of Long-term Debt - this refers to the portion of mortgage
notes, bonds, and other long-term liabilities to be pain within one year
from the balance sheet date.

Non-current Liabilities
All other liabilities that do not fall under the definition of current liabilities should
be classified as non-current liabilities.

of money to finance the acquisition of equipment or other assets

BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Define each financial statement
2. Understand the importance of financial statements
3. Comprehend how the financial statements are interrelated.

After the end of accounting cycle, you can now prepare financial statements in
accordance with the standard. In this chapter we will be able to have an overview on
what reports are being prepared and understand the relevance of each report.

Complete Set of Financial Statements


The essence of financial statements aside from being the final product of
accounting, is to allow various financial information users to measure the
performance of the business as well as make relevant and timely decisions based on
the information obtained.

Per revised PAS No. 1, the following are what comprise a complete set of
financial statements:
a. Statement of financial position as at the end of the period;
b. Statement of financial performance for the period;
c. Statement of changes in equity for the period;
d. A statement of cash flows for the period;
e. Notes to financial statements, comprising a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information; and
f. Statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest
comparative period when an entity applies an accounting policy
retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial
statements or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements.

Preparing the Financial Statements


After completing the worksheet, it will be easier to prepare the financial
statements since the account balances have already been extended to the
appropriate columns. The information necessary to prepare the income statement,
statement of changes in equity, and balance sheet are available in the worksheet.
New Romantics Events will be used to illustrate this topic.

Statement of Financial Performance


There are two (2) ways to prepare the statement of financial performance of
income statement:
1. In a single statement of comprehensive income, or
2. In two statements - a statement displaying components of profit or loss
(separate income statement) and a second statement beginning with profit
or loss and displaying components of other comprehensive income (OCI)
However, the 2018 Conceptual Framework does not specify whether the
statement of financial performance include(s) a single statement or two statements.
Income statement shows the performance of the business for a period of time,
particularly its profitability which will let the users to assess potential changes or
make economic decisions.

Statement of Changes in Equity
The statement of changes in equity shows the changes in the owner’s
investment to the business. Usually, in the case of a sole proprietorship, increases in
owner’s equity result from additional investments by the owner and profit for the
period while decreases may result from withdrawals of the owner and loss for the
period. It is also important to note that the beginning balance and additional
investments can be determined from the ledger of the business. The profit or loss
figure can be determined directly from the income statement columns while
withdrawals from the balance sheet columns in the worksheet.

Statement of Financial Position


This is also called the balance sheet and is used by decision-makers to evaluate
the business’ liquidity and solvency, financial flexibility, and ability to generate profits.
Liquidity measures how quickly the company can convert its assets to cash to settle
obligations when they are due. Financial flexibility deals with the company’s ability to
take effective actions to alter the amounts and timings of cash flows in case an

unexpected opportunity or needs arise. Solvency refers to the availability of cash to
meet long-term financial obligations of the company.
The balance sheet can be presented either the report format or account format.
The former simply lists the assets, followed by the liabilities, and owner’s equity in
vertical sequence. The latter lists the assets on the left and the liabilities and owner’s
equity on the right. Both balance sheet formats are acceptable.
PAS 1 does not also prescribe the order in which an entity presents items in the
balance sheet. What is required is the current and non-current distinction for assets
and liabilities. Liabilities and equity can be presented current liabilities then non-
current liabilities then equity, or vice versa.
When presentation based on liquidity provides accounting information that is
reliable and more relevant to decision-makers, then an entity shall present all its
assets and liabilities in order of liquidity.

Statement of Cash Flows


The statement of cash flows presents information about the movement of cash
during the period which includes cash receipts and cash payments of an entity. If is a
formal statement that classifies cash receipts (inflows) and cash payments (outflows)
into operating, investing, and financing activities. This also shows the net increase of
decrease in cash during a certain period and the cash balance at the end of the
period. This statement also helps in projecting the future net cash flow of the entity.
Operating Activities
This type of activities generally involves providing services, and producing
and delivering goods. Cash flow from operating activities are generally the cash
effects of transactions and other events relevant to the determination of profit or
loss during the period. This cash flow can be presented using either direct or
indirect method.
In computing operating activities using the direct method, the entity’s net
cash is obtained by adding the individual operating cash inflows and then
subtracting the individual operating cash outflows.

The indirect method is used to compute the net cash of operating activities
by adjusting profit with income and expense items not resulting from cash
transactions. First, profit will be increased by expenses and charges that are
non-cash in nature (ex. Depreciation). Second, profit will also be decreased by
increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities involved in
computing profit but did not actually affect the cash balance. Lastly, decreases in
current assets and increases in current liabilities are added to the profit. This will
ultimately lead to the net cash flows of operating activities.
Refer to the formula below:

Profit P xx
Adjustments:
Non-Cash Expenses (ex. Depreciation) xx
Increases in current assets (xx)
Decreases in current assets xx
Increases in current liabilities (xx)
Decreases in current liabilities xx
Cash Flows from Operating Activities xx

Investing Activities
This type of activities includes obtaining loans, disposing of investments in
debt or equity securities, and acquiring property and equipment.
Cash inflows may include receipts from sale of property and equipment,
investments in debt or equity securities, and collections on notes receivable.
Cash outflows may include payments to purchase property and equipment, debt
or equity securities, and loans generally in the form of notes receivable.

Financing Activities
Financing Activities include acquiring resources from owners and creditors.
Cash inflows may include receipts from investments by owners and issuance of
notes payable. Cash outflows may be from payments to owners in the form of
withdrawals and settlement of notes payable.
