Lesson Proper
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.

2. Accounting is a process: A process refers to the method of performing any specific job
step by step according to the objectives or targets. Accounting is identified as a process,
as it performs the specific task of collecting, processing and communicating financial
information. In doing so, it follows some definite steps like the collection, recording,
classification, summarization, finalization, and reporting of financial data.
3. Accounting is both an art and a discipline. Accounting is the art of recording, classifying,
summarizing and finalizing financial data. The word ‘art’ refers to the way something is
performed. It is behavioral knowledge involving a certain creativity and skill to help us
attain some specific objectives. Accounting is a systematic method consisting of definite
techniques and its proper application requires skill and expertise. So by nature,
accounting is an art. And because it follows certain standards and professional ethics, it is
also a discipline.
4. Accounting deals with financial information and transactions: Accounting records
financial transactions and data, classifies these and finalizes their results given for a
specified period of time, as needed by their users. At every stage, from start to finish,
accounting deals with financial information and financial information only. It does not
deal with non-monetary or non-financial aspects of such information.
5. Accounting is an information system: Accounting is recognized and characterized as a
storehouse of information. As a service function, it collects processes and communicates
financial information of any entity. This discipline of knowledge has evolved to meet the
need for financial information as required by various interested groups.
FUNCTION OF ACCOUNTING IN BUSINESS
Accounting is the means by which business information is communicated to business owners and
stakeholders. The role of accounting in business is to provide information for managers and
owners to use in operating the business. In addition, accounting information allows business
owners to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations. Prepared
accounting reports can be compared with industry standards or to a leading competitor to
determine how the business is doing. Business owners may also use historical financial
accounting statements to create trends for analyzing and forecasting future sales.
THE HISTORY OF ACCOUNTING
Accounting is as old as civilization itself. It has evolved in response to various social and
economic needs of men. Accounting started as a simple recording of repetitive exchanges. The
history of accounting is often seen as indistinguishable from the history of finance and business.
Following is the evolution of accounting:
1. The Cradle of Civilization
 Around 3600 B.C., record-keeping was already common from Mesopotamia, China
and India to Central and South America.
 The history of accounting dates back to ancient time. 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.

3|INTEGRATED INNOVATION AND HOSPITALITY COLLEGES, INC.


COMPILATION 1 AND 2 QUARTER 3
FUNDAMENTALS OF ACCOUNTANCY,
BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT 1
 In Egypt, archaeologists Dr. Gunter Dreyer of the German Institute of Archaeology
unearthed clay tablets considered to be among the oldest written tax accounting
records. In the tomb of King Scorpion I in Egypt, he discovered old stone labels
believed to date back to 3,000 BCE or around 5,300 years ago. The oldest evidence of
this practice was the “clay tablet” of Mesopotamia which dealt with commercial
transactions at the time such as listing of accounts receivable and accounts payable.
 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.
2. 14th Century - Double-Entry Bookkeeping
 The most important event in accounting history is generally considered to be the
dissemination of double entry bookkeeping by Luca Pacioli (‘The Father of
Accounting’) in 14th century Italy. Pacioli was much revered in his day, and was a
friend and contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci. The Italians of the 14th to 16th
centuries are widely acknowledged as the fathers of modern accounting and were the
first to commonly use Arabic numerals, rather than Roman, for tracking business
accounts. Luca Pacioli wrote Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et
Proportionalita, the first book published that contained a detailed chapter on double-
entry bookkeeping.
3. French Revolution (1700s)
 The thorough study of accounting and development of accounting theory began
during this period. Social upheavals affecting government, finances, laws, customs
and business had greatly influenced the development of accounting.
4. The Industrial Revolution (1760-1830)
 Mass production using of machines or power tools and the great importance of fixed
assets were given attention during this period.
5. 19th Century – The Beginnings of Modern Accounting in Europe and America
 The modern, formal accounting profession emerged in Scotland in 1854 when Queen
Victoria granted a Royal Charter to the Institute of Accountants in Glasgow, creating
the profession of the Chartered Accountant (CA).
 In the late 1800s, chartered accountants from Scotland and Britain came to the U.S. to
audit British investments. Some of these accountants stayed in the U.S., setting up
accounting practices and becoming the origins of several U.S. accounting firms. The
first national U.S. accounting society was set up in 1887.
 The American Association of Public Accountants was the forerunner to the current
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). In this period rapid
changes in accounting practice and reports were made. Accounting standards to be
observed by accounting professionals were promulgated.
6. 20th Century - The Development of Modern Accounting Standards and Commerce
 The accounting profession in the 20th century developed around state requirements

4|INTEGRATED INNOVATION AND HOSPITALITY COLLEGES, INC.


COMPILATION 1 AND 2 QUARTER 3
FUNDAMENTALS OF ACCOUNTANCY,
BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT 1
for financial statement audits. Beyond the industry's self-regulation, the government
also sets accounting standards, through laws and agencies such as the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). As economies worldwide continued to globalize,
accounting regulatory bodies required accounting practitioners to observe
International Accounting Standards. This is to assure transparency and reliability, and
to obtain greater confidence on accounting information used by global investors.
Nowadays, investors seek investment opportunities all over the world. To remain
competitive, businesses everywhere feel the need to operate globally.
7. 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.
Transactions can be consummated online with the help of the Internet.
8. 21st Century – Accounting in the Modern Times
 The 21st century opened with the replacement of the International Accounting
Standards Committee (IASC) by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) established 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 Sarbanes Oxley Act was passed by the US
Congress in 2002.

Topic Title: Lesson 4: ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES


Designation: WEEK 4
Introduction: The learners demonstrate an understanding of accounting Concepts and
Principles.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, the learners should be able to:
1. enumerate the principles of accounting;
2. differentiate each principle; and
3. apply the accounting principle in a business setting.

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

9|INTEGRATED INNOVATION AND HOSPITALITY COLLEGES, INC.


COMPILATION 1 AND 2 QUARTER 3
FUNDAMENTALS OF ACCOUNTANCY,
BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT 1
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 separate economic units,
separate and distinct from their owner. As such, they should be treated as 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 for specified time periods. For reporting purposes, one
year is usually considered as one accounting period. Example: Separate financial reports are
prepared yearly for the skin clinic and the spa of Dr. Teng. Hence, Dr. Teng can measure the
income of the two businesses annually.
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, 2016 ends its fiscal year on April 30, 2017. 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 he 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 2001 for two million pesos should be recorded at two million
pesos even though its market value in the year 2016 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 those 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, he
advance payment by the customer should be considered as a liability on the part of the
resort in the form of services 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 2001 should be recorded at historical cost
in the 2016 financial statements. However, the current market value of three million
pesos in the year 2016 may be indicated in the financial statements for the year 2016 in
the form of a footnote or parenthetical note.
5. Materiality means that financial reporting is only concerned 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 amount such as paper clips can be charged outright to
expenses.

Topic Title: Lesson 5: ASSETS, LIABILITIES, CAPITAL, REVENUE, AND


EXPENSES OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Designation: WEEK 5
Introduction: The learners demonstrate an understanding of the assets, liabilities, capital,
revenue, and expenses of the financial statements.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, the learners should be able to:
1. classify the types of financial statements; and
2. identify the typical accounts used in financial statements.

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

Classification of Current Assets
Improvements to International Accounting Standards 1 (December 2003) classify an asset as
current asset when it is:
1. expected to be realized in, 'or is intended for sale or consumption in the entity’s normal
operating cycle;
2. held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
3. expected to be realized within twelve months of the balance sheet date; or
4. cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
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).
3. Marketable securities are stocks and bonds purchased by the enterprise and are to be held
for only a short span of time or duration. They are usually purchased when a business has
excess cash.
4. Trade and other receivables include the amounts collectible from any of the accounts:
a. accounts receivable — amount collectible from the customer to whom sale have been
made or services have been rendered on account or credit.
b. notes receivable — promissory note issued by the client or the customer in exchange for
services or goods received as evidence of his/her obligation to pay.
c. interest receivable — amount of interest collectible on promissory notes received from
customers and clients.
d. advances to employees— certain amount of money loaned to employees payable in cash
or through salary deductions.
e. accrued income — income already earned but hot yet received.
5. Inventories represent the unsold goods at the end of the accounting period. This is applicable
only to a merchandising business.
6. Prepaid Expenses include supplies bought for use in the business or services and benefits to
be received by the business in the future paid in advance.
7. Contra-Asset Accounts are accounts deducted from the related asset accounts.
a. Allowance for bad debts – losses due to uncollectible accounts. This is deducted from
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
through trading relationships. Investments are classified as long-term when they are
intended to be held for an extended period of time (International Accounting Standards
No. 25),

3. Loan Payable is a liability to pay the bank or other financing institution arising from
funds borrowed by the business from these institutions payable within twelve months or

4. Utilities payable is an obligation to pay utility companies for services received from
them. Examples of this are telephone services to PLDT, electricity to Meralco, and water
