Assets, which are the cash and resources owned by the business (e.g., accounts
receivable, inventory)
Liabilities, which are the obligations and debts owned by the business (e.g.,
accounts payable, loans)
Revenue or income, which is the money earned by the business, usually
through sales
Expenses or expenditure, which is the cash that flows out from the business
to pay for some item or service (e.g., salaries, utilities)
Equity, which is the value remaining after the liabilities are subtracted from
assets, representing the owner’s held interest in the business (e.g., stocks,
retained earnings)

Knowing the accounts, you need to track for your business is one thing:
setting them up another, back in the day, charts of accounts were recording in a
physical book called the general ledger (GL). But now, most businesses use computer
software to record accounts. It might be a virtual record rather than a hard copy, but
the overall file is still called the general ledger.

Desktop bookkeeping software usually requires high-up front fee, but the
software is then yours to keep. With online, cloud-based bookkeeping software, you
have to pay monthly fee to keep your online subscription, but it’s a much lower cost
than that of desktop software.

In the double-entry bookkeeping system, you’ll record two entries for each
transaction: a debit (Dr) and a credit (Cr). Debits and credits are recorded as journal
entries in the ledger. The debit is usually recorded first (on the left), followed by the
credit (on the right)
A debit doesn’t necessarily mean cash flowing out; likewise, credit isn’t
necessarily money you’ve earned. The type of account defines whether a transaction
either debits or credits that account
Each debit and credit transaction must be recorded correctly and in the right
account. Otherwise, your account balances won’t match and you won’t be able to
close your books.

To record a transaction, first determine the accounts that will be debited and
credited. For example, imagine that you’ve just purchased a new point-of-sale
system for your retail business. You paid for the system, which is cost Php 2,000 in
cash.
The transaction will affect two accounts: cash (an asset account) and
equipment (also an asset). Because you’ve decreasing your cash and increasing
your equipment, you would record a Php 2,000 debit (on the left) for the equipment
account and a Php 2,000 credit for cash account (on the right).
Note that the journal entries don’t include specific details about the item,
vendor, or biller; you just track debits and credits by account.

Format
1. Date. The year and month are-not-month changes or a new page is needed.
2. Accounts Titles and Explanations. The account to be debited is entered at
the V extreme left of the first line the account to be credited is entered slightly
indented on the next line. A brief description of the transaction is usually made
on the line below the credit. Generally, skip a lie after each entry.
3. P.R. (Posting Reference). This will be used when the entries are posted, that
is until the amounts are transferred to the relate ledger accounts. The posting
process will be described later.
4. Debit. The debit amount for each account is entered in this column
5. Credit. The credit amount for each account is entered in this column.
Chart of Accounts
A listing of all the accounts and their account numbers in te ledger is known as
the chart of accounts. The chart is arranged in the financial statement order, that is,
assets first, followed by liabilities, owner’s equity, income, and expenses. The
accounts should be numbered flexibility to permit indexing and cross-referencing.

The last step in basic bookkeeping is to balance and close the books. When
you tally up account debits and credits-often at the end of the quarter or year-the
totals should match. This means that your books are “balance”.
You have been recording journal entries to accounts as debits and credits. At
the end of the period, you’ll “post” these entries to the accounts themselves in the
general ledger and adjust the account balances accordingly.

For example, if over the course of the month your cash account has had Php
3,000 in debits (increases) and Php 5,000 in credits (decreases), you would adjust
the cash account balance by a total of Php 2,000 (as a decrease).
Follow this method to adjust the balances for each account in your ledger. At
the end of this process, you’ll have what’s called an “adjusted trial balance”. When
you combine account types, the adjusted balances should mee the accounting
equation:
If two sides of the equations don’t match, you’ll need to go back through the
ledger and journal entries to find errors. Post corrected entries in the journal and
ledger, then follow the process again until the account accounts are balanced. Then
you’re ready to close the books and prepare financial reports.
The general ledger is the principal book in which the commercial transactions
of a company are recorded. Before the days of accounting software, bookkeepers
and accountants actually kept physical nooks, and each ledger was a separate
physical book.

Now that you’ve balances your books, you need to take a closer look at what
those books mean, summarizing the flow of money in each account creates a picture
of your company’s financial health. You can then use the picture to make decisions
about your business’s future.
Here are some of the most common financial reports created in bookkeeping:
Balance Sheet. This document summarizes your business’s assets, liabilities, and
equity at a single period of time. Your total assets should equal the sum of all
liabilities and equity of accounts. The balance sheet provides a look at the current
health of your business and whether it has the ability to expand or needs to
reserve cash.
Profit and Loss (P&L) Statement. Also called income statement. This report
breakdown business revenues, costs, and expenses over a period of time (e.g.,
quarter), the P& helps you compare your sales and expenses and make forecasts.
Cash Flow Statement. The statement of cash flow is similar to the P&L =, but it
doesn’t include any non-cash items such as depreciation. Cash flow statements
help show where your business is earning and spending money and its immediate
viability and ability to pay bills.
Bookkeeping software helps you prepare these financial reports, may in real-
time, this can be a lifetime for small-business owners who need to make quick
financial decisions based on the immediate health of their business.

Globally, publicly listed companies are required by law to file their financial
statements wit the relevant authorities. For examples, publicly listed firms in America
are required to submit their financial statements to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Firms are also obligated to provide their financial statements in
the annual report that they share with their stakeholders. As financial statements are
prepared in order to meet requirements, the second step in the process is to analyze
them effectively so that future profitability and cash flows can be forecasted.

1. Management
The managers of the company use their financial statement analysis to make
intelligent decisions about their performance. For instance, they may gauge cost per
distribution channel, or how much cash they have left, from their accounting reports
and make decisions from these analysis results.
2. Owners
Small business owners need financial information from their operations to
determine whether the business id profitable. It helps in making decisions like
whether to continue operating the business, whether to improve business strategies
or whether to give upon the business altogether.
3. Investors
People who have purchased stock or shares in a company need financial
information to analyze the way the company is performing. They use financial
statement analysis to determine what to do with their investments in the company.
So, depending on how the company is doing, they will either hold onto their stock,
sell it or buy more.
4. Creditors
Creditors are interested in knowing if a company will be able to honor its
payments as they become due. They use cash flow analysis of the company’s
accounting records to measure the company’s liquidity, or its ability to make short-
term payments.

5. Government
Governing and regulating bodies of the state look at financial statement
analysis to determine how the economy is performing in general so they can plan
their financial and industrial policies. Tax authorities also analyze a company’s
statements to calculate the tax burden that the company has to pay.
6. Employees
Employees need to know if their employment is secure and if there is a
possibility of a pay raise. They want to be abreast of their company’s profitability and
stability. Employees may also be interested in knowing the company’s financial
position to see whether there may be plans for expansion and hence, career
prospects for them.
7. Customers
Customers need to know about the ability of the company to service its
clients into the future. The need to know about the company’s stability of operations
is heightened of the customer (i.e. distributor or procurer of specialized products) or
dependent wholly on the company for its supplies.
8. General Public
Anyone in the general public, like students, analysts and researchers, may
be interested in using a company’s financial statement analysis. They may wish to
evaluate the effects of the firm on the environment, or the economy or even the local
community. For instance, if the company is running corporate social responsibility
programs for improving the community, the public may want to be aware of the future
operations of the company.

While a large part comes from personal savings and home-equity loans,
they also tend to use plastic heavily. In fact, perhaps half of all startups are funded by
the owners’ credit card.
2. FRIENDS AND FAMILY – At the very early stages of any startup, entrepreneurs
also tend to raise money from relatives, colleagues and other people they know well.
3. BANKS – For most startups, getting a traditional bank loan is a long shot. That’s
because banks typically will only consider companies that have been in business for
two years. What’s more, they need to see a tangible asset that can be used as
collateral. The exception is a manufacturing company building or using heavy
equipment.

It’s a good start by first putting a sound financial system in place to ensure that
your business will be managed properly. Having a foolproof recording system is a
step towards the right direction.
The mark of a good financial record is one where it shows clearly where the
company’s money is being spent-expenses-and where is it coming from, in the form
of revenues or earning.
Financial statements are also needed when you are applying for credit with
banks and financial institutions. There are two ways to set up your own financial
system manual and automated.
A manual record system works for small cm software maybe expensive and
impractical. To set up a formal financial system, you need to hire a certified public
accountant or a bookkeeper to make a chart of accounts, prepare a book such as
journals or ledgers which will be registered with the BIR. Aside from these he will be
in charge of periodically generating your financial statements, such as income
statements and the balance sheet, and to do the audited financial statements that
you have to submit with your income tax return at the end of the year.

Horizontal Analysis
This method analysis is simply grouping together all information, sorting them
by time period: weeks, months or years. The numbers in each period can also be
shown as a percentage of the numbers expressed in the baseline (earliest/starting)
year. The amount given to the baseline year is usually 100%. This analysis is also
called dynamic analysis or trend analysis.
When the analysis is conducted for all financial statements at the same time,
the complete impact of operational activities can be seen on the company’s financial
condition during the period under review. This is a clear advantage of using
horizontal analysis as the company can review its performance in comparison to the
previous periods and gauge how it's doing based on past results.

The main types of financial statements are the balance sheet, the income
statement and the statement of cash flows. These accounting reports are
analyzed in order to aid economic decision-making of a firm and also to predict
profitability and cash flows.
The balance sheet shows the current financial position of the firm, at a given
single point in time. It is also called the statement of financial position. The structure
of the balance sheet is laid out such that on one side assets of the firm are listed,
while on the other side liabilities and shareholders’ equity is shown. The two sides of
the balance sheet must balance as follows:
Current Assets
Current assets held by the firm refer to cash and cash equivalents. These
cash equivalents are assets that can be easily converted into cash within one year.
Current assets include marketable securities, inventory and accounts receivable.
Long-term Assets
Long-term assets are also called non-current assets and include fixed assets like
plant, equipment and machinery, and property, etc. A firm records depreciation of its
fixed, long-term assets every year. It is not an actual expense of cash paid, but is
only a reduction in the book value of the asset. The book value is calculated by
subtracting the accumulated depreciation of prior years from the price of the assets.

Current Liabilities
Current liabilities of the firm are financial payments or obligations due after
one year. These include loans that the firm has to repay in more than a year, and
also capital leases which the firm has to pay for in exchange for using a fixed asset.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity is also known as the book value of equity or net worth of
the firm. It is the difference between total assets owned by a form and total liabilities
outstanding. It is different from the market value of equity (stock market
capitalization) which is calculated as follows: number of shares outstanding multiplied
by the current share price.

The balance sheet is analyzed to obtain some key ratios that help explain the
health of the firm at a given point in time. These metrics are as follows:
The enterprise value of a firm shows the underlying value of the business. It
reflects the true value of the firm’s assets, not including any cash or cash
equivalents, while unencumbered by the debt the firm carries.
This indicates your earnings, expenses, and any gains or losses. It is also
known as the Profit and Loss Statement. Shows how much a business earned in a
given period. Expenses are deducted from the income (either from sales or from
other sources) to arrive at a net profit or net loss.

The net income on the income statement, if positive, shows that the company
has made a profit. If the net income is negative, it means the company incurred a
loss.

Profitability Ratios:
1. Net profit margin: This ratio calculates the amount of profit that the company has
earned after taxes and all expenses have been deducted from net sales.
2. Return on Assets (ROA). This ratio shows the percentage of profit a company
earns in relation to its overall resources.
Valuation Ratios:
The P/E ratio is used to evaluate whether the value of a stock is proportional
to the level of earnings it can generate for its stockholders. It assesses whether the
stock is overvalued or undervalued.

The statement of cash flows shows explicitly the sources of the firm’s cash
and where the cash is utilized. It is essentially a statement whereby the net income is
adjusted for non-cash expenses and any changes to the net working capital. It also
reflects changes in cash coming from, or being used by, investing and financing
activities of the firm. The structure and main components of the cash flow statement
are as follows:
All three of the above determine the bottom line: changes in cash flows.
Net Income
+ Amortization/Depreciation
- Capital Expenditures

Some analysts also study the cash flow from operating activities to see if the
company is earning “quality” income. In order for the company to be doing extremely
well, the cash from operating activities must be consistently greater than the net
income earned by the company.
The business and operating review is a good place for the company to share
any good news with the general public. They have room to elaborate on plans that
would help enhance the company’s image and address any unpleasant events that
may have occurred, to show the customers that they truly care about talking openly
to their customers.

Operational Information
Analysts do not take into account operational information of a company, as
only financial information is analyzed and reviewed. There may be several indicators
in operational information of the company which may be predictors of future
performance, for example. The number of backlogged orders, any changes in
licenses or warranty claims submitted to the company or even changes in the culture
and work environment. Therefore, analysis of financial information may only relay
half the story.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the discussion, the student must be able to:
Define financial statement analysis;
Identify the different users of financial statement;
Generate and analyze financial reports in the business;
Recognize the different financial statement and analysis methods.

Of course, it only makes sense that ASEAN wants to provide easier travel
services for their service providers. However, even citizens can enjoy the benefit of
improved air, sea, or land travel. Thanks to ASEAN, there are now VISA-free entry
countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Last October 2017, during the
23rd ASEAN Transport Ministers Meeting, members signed several plans to improve
transportation within the region.

Other than better travel options, ASEAN also gives nations within the region to
do more trade for goods and services. Tax on imported goods is lowered or even
eliminated. Navotas Mayor John Rey Tianco said it best during the 50 th ASEAN
Anniversary, “A fully-implemented ASEAN Economic Community could mean lower
taxes and tariffs for imported goods and this, in turn, could lead to lower cost of living
and a greater purchasing power for us.
With the progressive dynamic between the ASEAN region, with easier and
cheaper travel options, goods, and services, it only makes sense that it comes with
the extended bonus of better employment opportunities. Take not, the continent
makes up one-third of global GDP. You can only expect that Asia will keep doing
what it can to maintain and exceed this performance. It’s also highly beneficial to the
country’s IT industry, seeing as how ASEAN has 700 million digital consumers. In
fact, by 2025, the sector is expected to grow 500% to $200 billion. One of the
ASEAN’s goals, after all, is to decrease “unemployment and underemployment”
across the region.
The Filipinos would have more access to better jobs if they are better
equipped for these emerging roles. Thankfully, even the country’s education would
be enhanced because of ASEAN integration. For instance, last August 2017,
Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs announced in the ASEAN regional forum in
Manila that they would be offering a $10 Million Scholarship Program to support post-
secondary students and mid-career professional from Southeast Asia. The National
University in Singapore offers scholarships for ASEAN countries for graduate
coursework. These are only a few of the examples of quality international support for
Filipino students.

Recognized Opportunity
In this type of opportunity, proper reasoning is used to get new ideas. This
consists of accidental recognition of an opportunity for a business solution to a
challenge and a realization of idea or ideas from others like colleagues and
associates. This type of opportunity has to do with the exploitation of the existing
markets where both sources of supply and demand that exist are recognized and
brought together.

PHILIPPINE STATE COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS
INSTITUTE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES
AVIATION TOURISM DEPARTMENT
Learning Module 11: Global Trends in Business-Supply Chain
Discovered Opportunity
In this type of opportunity, when only the demand exists, but supply does not,
and vice versa, then the non-existent side has to be discovered. This type of
opportunity has to do with the exploration of existing and latent markets. For
discovered opportunity to occur, a purposeful search is necessary. An example of
could be when a country introduces a new course in their university curriculum and
many publishers have printed textbooks on this course, a discovered opportunity
might be the sales/distribution of this books to universities and students.
Created/Enacted Opportunity
This type of opportunity is based on the principle of enactment where the
entrepreneur creates new means and new ends by using effectual reasoning. In this
type of opportunity, the supply and demand will not apparently exist; one or both of
them have to be created. This demands that several economic inventions like
marketing, financing and others have to be created for the opportunity to exist.
1. Preparation
Preparation stage is that knowledge and experience exercise just before the
opportunity discovery process. These knowledge and experience are not often
deliberately acquired. However, preparation itself is actually a deliberate attempt to
widen capability in an area and become sensitive to concerns in a field of interest. In
an organized situation, the background of the business, the products or services or
the technological knowledge must have majorly informed the main ideas of the
successful venture. One cannot however, rule out the role of new ideas and
expertise originating from individuals in the organization that will eventually result in a
new business.

2. Incubation
Incubation stage is the part of the opportunity identification process that
involves the consideration of a concept or a specific problem ordinarily not subjected
to conscious of formal analysis by businessman or his team. It is usually not
consciously done and therefore more often than not, an instinctive and unempirical
approach for the consideration of several potential alternatives.
3. Insight
Insight stage occurs at the moment a fundamental solution suddenly becomes
recognized unexpectedly. It is a particular moment that keeps occurring persistently
right to the process of opportunity identification. Insights have been found to be
extensive channels to the discovery of startup businesses and sometimes reveal
additional knowledge for the development of a current process of discovery. In
respect of a business venture, insight predictably encompasses the abrupt
recognition of an opportunity in business, the answer to an adequately pondered
crisis and the possession of a concept from social networks and associates.
4. Evaluation
Evaluation stage is about investigating if the recognized and developed ideas
are feasible, if the businessman has the required abilities to realize the ideas and if
the idea is sufficiently innovative for prospects. It sometimes involves full feasibility
analysis of the ideas through all forms of research instruments and criticisms from
relevant business acquaintances. It is fundamental to also investigate the prospects
and viability of the new insight ideas as the spirit of the entrepreneurship is to make
satisfactory and sensible profits.
5. Elaboration
Elaboration is the stage that exposes the opportunity/ideas too external
analysis with the tedious and time-consuming options selection, choice decision and
organization of resources. T is customarily in search of all legalities that could build
confidence and guarantee the practicability of the business. Elaboration also reduces
uncertainties by providing the detailed planning activities after the evaluation viability
confirmation. This will eventually reveal the concept areas that still need further
analysis and attention.

“I chose to live my life unafraid even during times when I WAS afraid. I discovered
that opportunities don’t find you. You find your opportunities.”
“Call it trite – but believe me, success CAN BE achieved through hard work,
frugality, integrity, responsiveness to change, and most of all, the boldness to
dream.”
John Gokongwei Jr. came from a wealthy clan in Cebu but they lost
everything because of World War 2. He learned that war is a great equalizer, but he
bounced despite the difficult road, with his business conglomerate as one of the
fixtures of the Philippines business environment.
The business strategy of John L. Gokongwei Jr. testify to this principle. When
Gokongwei entered the manufacturing industry, he changed the rules of the game in
the Philippines. In the telecommunications sector, he introduced the Unlimited
Texting and Unlimited intra-network calls that changed the Philippine cellular phone
industry.
