Introduction to Accounting

Need:
The main aim of a business is to earn profit, for earning profit a business man will either purchase the goods in one market at certain price and sell it in another market at higher price or will convert the raw materials into finished products and sell it to the different customers at a price which will give him some percentage of profit on cost of production. But this may not be true in all the cases. Sometimes it may happen that the goods purchased or produced may go out of fashion and may be unsaleable simply because of depression in the market or keen competition. He may be able to sell the goods either at a loss or at a very small margin of profit. However he will be anxious at the end of the year to find out whether his goods taken together have been sold at a profit or at a loss and what is the financial position on a particular date. More over in big business information is required for planning, control, evaluation of performance and decision making.

This information can be provided only when business transactions are recorded, classified and summarized properly. In order to achieve the above purposes it would be necessary to record business transactions according to well designed system. Accounting is the name given to such system.

transactions are not recorded at all until cash is actually received or paid.

This system does not make a complete recorded financial transaction of trading period as it does not record outstanding transactions

like O/S expenses and O/S incomes. Its not a complete record and it will not give the actual position of concern.

2) Accrual Basis: Under this system all transactions relating to a period are recorded in the book of accounts. That is in addition to actual receipts and payments of cash income receivable and expenses payable are also recorded. This gives a complete picture of financial transactions of the business and it makes a record of all transactions relating to a period.

Classification of Accounting Principles.


Traditionally accounting principles have been classified as 1) Accounting Concepts 2) Accounting Conventions.

A) Accounting Concepts:

Accounting

Concepts

are

basic

accounting

assumptions or conditions upon which the science of accounting is based.

Benefits: 1) Accounting concepts guide the identification of transactions to be recorded or accounted. 2) They make accounting convey the same meaning to all the end users of accounting information as far as practicable. 3) They also help in bringing about uniformity in the practice of accounting.

Accounting Concepts are:

1) Money measurement Concept: According to this concept only those transactions which can be expressed and recorded in monetary terms are to be considered. Since money is a common unit of measurement. It becomes possible for the

organization to record the transactions and compare it with other firms. However, this concept suffers from one limitation that is ignorance of the 2) Separate Entity Concept: This concept specifies that an organization has an existence separated from the owner. In some cases the law does not distinguishes between the organization and the owners, for examplesole proprietorship. However the

assumption of separate entity prevails even in the cases where separate entity law is not required.

Business entity assumption is applicable to all types of business organization. For Ex: Mr. X invested Rs.50000 in the business. Rs. 50000 is an Asset for the business in the form of cash and also a liability in the form capital which the business has to repay to Mr. X. 3) Going concern Concept: This concept assumes that the organization will continue forever, that is it has an unlimited life. The owner may change but the organizations functions forever are the assumption. All the business

transactions are done by the enterprise with the assumption that it will continue forever. 4) Cost Concept: According to this concept an asset is recorded in the books of accounts at the price paid for its purchase and not its market value. For ex: 10

years ago land was purchased for Rs. 10 lakh and current market value is 15 lakhs it should be recorded in the books at 10 lakhs which is the book price or value. 5) Dual Aspect concept: Every business transactions always results in receiving of some benefit of some value and giving of some other benefit of equal value. For instance purchased

goods for cash here you will be receiving goods and same time for the same value you will be giving cash. This concept clearly indicates that always in each transaction there will be two aspects both the aspects need to be recorded. 6) Accounting Period Concept: According to this concept every origin shall be required to prepare its financial statements on periodic basis to report the

functioning and the state of business entity. This period can be either a calendar year or a financial year. This periodic evaluation facilitates comparison and helps the management in taking decisions and framing policies. 7) Realization Concept: This concept states that revenue should be recognized when it has been realized. When the transaction gives legal right to the receipt of money It shall be recorded in that particular year. For ex: A company manufactured car in 2007, sold it to Mr.X in 2008 for Rs 2 lakh but received to money in 2009. In this case the sale would be recorded in the year 2008, because this is the time when they acquire the legal right to the

receipt of money and when it is realized need to record the year 2009. 8) Accrual Concept: This concept stated that revenues and expenditures are recorded in the period when the revenues are recognized and expenditures are realized, irrespective of whether the cash is received or not and payments are made or not. For ex: The salary of the

employees is Rs.50000 for the year 2010 was not paid but the business for the same reason but it promised to pay them in 2011. Now this salary of Rs50000 shall be recorded as an outstanding expense for the year 2010, because it is the expenditure of that particular year whether paid or outstanding. 9) Matching concept: Income earned during a period can be determined by matching the revenues earned

during that period with the expenses that were incurred in the process of earning these revenues. The revenues and expenses shown in an income statement must belong to the accounting period for which the income is to be calculated or measured. All expenses incurred by the business entity during an accounting period should be matched with the revenue recognized during the same period by deducting the related expendes from the revenue recognized. 10) Objective Evidence Concept: This concept means that all accounting entries should be evidenced and supported by source documents such as invoices, vouchers etc. It is only when accounting entries are supported by

objectively determined evidences, which are subject to verification by Auditors, the accounting records will be accepted by various groups of people interested in accounting information with confidence.

B) Accounting Conventions: Accounting conventions are the customs or practices which have been in force for a long period and which guide the accountant while preparing financial

statements. In other words they are the customs usages or practices followed by accountants or a guide in the preparation of financial statements.

Benefits:

1) Conventions of Materiality: This convention states that only material information should be recorded in the books of accounts. For Ex: A company purchased furniture worth Rs.10000 of red colour. The

information regarded as material if it is financial in nature and it is likely to influence the decisions of stake holders, bankers, management etc. 2) Conventions of Consistency: According to this convention, same accounting procedures shall be followed year after year, since following consistent methods will help in drawing comparisons. For Ex: If the firm is evaluation inventory according to FIFO method, then it not switch to weighted averages or any other methods on the next period. A change in method may bring about considerable influence in the

income reported as well as in the inventory cost for the balance sheet. 3) Conventions of conservatism: According to principle of conservatism or prudence Anticipate no gains but provide for all losses and if in doubt write it off. This convention states that no organization should function with anticipated gains, rather only when the money is received the gain should be realized, but we can make a reserve or provisions for future anticipated expenses and losses. 4) Convention of full Disclosure: This convention suggests that all the financial Information should be fully disclosed. No material information should be concealed else it shall be considered to be a fraud.
