ACCOUNTING
It is the process of IDENTIFYING,
RECORDING, and
COMMUNICATING economic events
of an organization to interested users.
(Weygandt, J. et. al)
Explain the three highlighted words in the
graphic:
1. IDENTIFYING – this involves selecting economic events that are relevant to a particular
business transaction. The economic events of an organization are referred to as transactions.
Examples of economic events or transactions.
For example, in a bakery business:
sales of bread and other bakery products
purchases of flour that will be used for baking
purchases of trucks needed to deliver the products
2. RECORDING – this involves keeping a chronological diary of events that are measured in
pesos. The diary referred to in the definition are the journals and ledgers which will be
discussed in future lectures.
3. COMMUNICATING – occurs through the preparation and distribution of financial and
other accounting reports.
THE NATURE OF ACCOUNTING
According to Accounting Theory (http://accountingtheory.weebly.com/nature-and-scope-of-
accounting.html): “Accounting is a systematic recording of financial transactions and the
presentation of the related information to appropriate persons.” Based on this definition we
can derive the following basic features of accounting:
1. Accounting is a service activity. Accounting provides assistance to decision makers by
providing them financial reports that will guide them in coming up with sound decisions.
Lesson Proper
BRANCHES OF ACCOUNTING
1. Financial Accounting
It 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. These financial statements include disclosure
requirements as governed by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
B. EXTERNAL USERS
secondary users of financial information in the decision making of the company and
may not be directly involved in the company’s operations but their decisions may
significantly affect the business entity.
i. Financial Institutions/Creditors
Financial institutions use financial information to determine the capacity of
the business organization to pay its obligations and their interests at the
appropriate time.
ii. Government
Financial information is important for tax purposes and in checking of
compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements.
iii. Potential Investors
Potential investors or creditors may not only be interested in the company’s
current financial position and results of operations, but also in the company’s
financial history.
Lesson Proper
GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GMP)
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 measurement 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 enterprise as separate and distinct from its owners and
from other business enterprises. Example: Dr. Teng has a skin clinic and a spa. The skin

or event. An item is considered significant if knowledge of it would influence prudent
users of the financial statements.
Example: Items of insignificant amount such as paper clips can be charged outright to
expenses.
Lesson Proper
TYPES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The key product or the end product of the accounting process is a Set of called the
financial statements comprised of the following:
1. Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet —shows the financial condition/
position of a business as of a given period. It consists of the assets, liabilities, and capital.
2. Income Statement or Statement of Comprehensive Income – The Income Statement shows
the result of operations for a given period. It of the revenue, cost, and expenses.
The statement of comprehensive income consists of the revenue, cost, and expenses
components of other comprehensive income (including reclassification las follows: changes in
revaluation surplus, gains and losses on benefit plans, gains and losses from investments in
equity instruments, finance costs, share of associates, and joint ventures under the equity
method, tax expense, gain or loss from discontinued operations, gain or loss on realization of
assets from discontinued operations, gain or loss from foreign operations, and all other operating
and financial events affecting the owner's equity in the business.
International Accounting Standards 1 defines Total Comprehensive Income the "change
in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other events, other than those changes
resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. For purposes of lessons in
single proprietorship, the activities will consist of the usual revenue, cost, expense, and
transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Hence, the Income Statement will be, used
to show the results of operations since there is no activity beyond the regular profit and loss
items.
3. Statement of Changes in Owner's Equity or Statement of Owner's Equity— shows the
changes in the capital or owner's equity as a result of additional investment' or withdrawals by
the owner, plus or minus the net income or net loss for the year.
4. Statement of Cash flows – summarizes the cash receipts and cash disbursements for the
accounting period. It summarizes the cash activities of the business by classifying cash inflows
(receipts) and cash outflows (payments) into operating, investing, and financing activities. It
shows the net increase or decrease of cash in a given period and the cash balance at the end of

the period. This allows management to assess the business' ability to generate cash and project
future cash flows.
Typical Account Titles Used
Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) - Balance sheet accounts, namely assets,
liabilities, and owner's equity, are classified as real or permanent accounts.
Assets — economic resources owned by the business expected for future gain. They are
property and rights of value owned by the business.
Liabilities - include debts, obligations to pay, and claims of the creditors on the assets of
the business.
Owner’s Equity or Capital - include interest of the owners on the business; claims of the
owners on the assets of the business; and the investment of the owner plus or minus the
results of operations. Owner’s equity or capital comes from the two main sources –
investment of owners and earnings of the business.
THE FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING EQUATION
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
1. Given liabilities of Php 50,000 and the owner's equity of Php 150,000, find the value of
assets.
Solution:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
= P 50,000 + P150,000
= P 200,000
2. Given assets of P 180,000 and the owner's equity of P 110,000, find the liabilities.
Solution:
Liabilities = Assets — Owner's Equity
= P 180,000 – P 110,000
= P 70,000
3. Given assets of P 250,000 and liabilities of P 90,000 find the owner's equity.
Solution:
Owner's Equity = Assets — Liabilities
= P 250,000 – P 90,000
= 160,000

liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Examples of current assets are as follows:
1. Cash includes coins, currencies, checks, bank deposits, and other cash items readily available
for use in the operations of the business.
2. Cash equivalents. are short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk to changes in value (per SFAS No. 22,
revised 2000).

for only a short span of time or duration. They are usually purchased when a business has

the accounts receivable account to get the net realizable value. This is in line with the
financial statements' qualitative characteristic of conservatism wherein no profits would
be anticipated but all probable or estimable losses should be provided.
b. Accumulated depreciation— represents the expired cost of property, plant, and
equipment as a result of usage and passage of time. This is deducted from the cost of the
related asset account to get the carrying value or book value of the asset.
Classification of Non-Current Assets
a. Long-term investments are assets held by an enterprise for the accretion of wealth
through capital distribution such as interests, royalties, dividends and rentals, for capital
appreciation or for Other benefits to the investing enterprise such as those obtained
