Accounting Lesson one



UNIT – I

What is accounting? (Or) Give the meaning of accounting (or) why accounting is called as “the Language of Business”?
Accounting is a means of communicating the results of business operations to various parties interested in or connected with the business (Viz., the owners, Creditors, Investors, Government, Financial Institutions, Bankers etc,). Arnold. W. Johnson in his book ‘Elementary Accounting’ has rightly called the Modern accounting as the ‘Language of Business’.
Define Financial Accounting?
Definition 1: According to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)      “Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money transactions and events which are of a financial character and interpreting the results there of”.

Definition 2: According to American Principles Board “Accounting is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information primarily financial in nature, about economic activities that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions in making rational choices among alternative courses of action”.

What are the objectives of accounting? (Or) State the objectives of accounting? (Or) What are the                 advantages of accounting?
                Objectives or Advantages of accounting may differ from business to business depending upon their specific requirements. However following are the general objectives or advantages;
·        Record maintenance:  Accounting record serves as a basis for accounting work. So the records have to be maintained systematically by following the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
·        Ascertainment of profit or loss: Accounting is expected to ascertain and record the net results of business. Various interested parties like owners, management, investors, etc., should be supplied with such results as per their specific requirements. 
·        Depiction of Financial position: A true and fair view of financial position should be presented. The properties and assets of business should be shown at appropriate values at prevailing practices.
·        Providing communication: The Accounting should provide information for making decisions in crucial areas, controlling of organization’s human and material resources and facilitate social functions and control.
·        Aid to Decision – making: Management of a firm requires innumerable routine and policy decisions while discharging its functions. Accounting provides information for making appropriate and effective decisions.
·        Statutory requirements: Various legal requirements like maintenance of Provident fund of employees, Employees State Insurance contribution (ESI), etc., are properly fulfilled with the help of accounting.
·        Taxation purposes: Accounting records are the basic source for computation and settlement of Sales tax, Income tax and other local taxes. 

What are the Attributes and steps of accounting? (Or) Explain the process or functions of Accounting.
            Attributes and steps (Process or functions) of accounting
                   An analysis of above definition will bring out the following functions of accounting;
1)      Recording: Systematic recording of business transactions is the first step in accounting process. Each and every business transactions are recorded in chronological order with reliable documentary evidence. Recording of business transactions are usually done in ‘Journal’ or in ‘Subsidiary Books’ which are ‘Books of Original entry’.
2)      Classification: The classification takes form of ‘accounts’ in a separate book known as ‘Ledger’. Separate accounts are opened for each expense, income, property, liability, and persons with whom the business has dealings. Classification facilitates segregation of numerous business transactions into separate identifiable groups.
3)      Summarizing: The transactions recorded in the ledger will be summarized and balance in each account will be ascertained and list of such balances is called ‘Trial Balance’. The Trial Balance ensures the arithmetical accuracy of the recording and classification process. Moreover Trial balance serves as a basis for the preparation of Final accounts (i.e. Trading, Profit & loss a/c and Balance sheet).
4)      Interpreting: It refers to deriving conclusions from accounting records i.e. to find out the real position of the concern to which accounting relates. Interpretation is needed for various purposes like;
                      I.          Future planning of operations.
                    II.        Designing credit policies.
                   III.       Analyze the growth of profit.
                   IV.       Liquidity and stability of business.

 Explain the ‘Accounting Equation’? (Or) Explain the components of ‘Accounting Equation’?

Accounting Equation is a formula which indicates the ‘equivalence’ of assets and capital and liabilities. Recording of business transactions is based on accounting equation. Balance sheet is the end result of accounting process and conforms to accounting equation.

Equation:
              Assets = Equities
                          (Or)
              Assets = Liabilities + Capital
                          (Or)
              Capital = Assets – Liabilities

The total of properties owned by a business is equal to the ‘total of Rights of properties’. The properties owned by a business are called as assets and rights to properties are called as ‘Equities’.
Equities are called as Internal Equity (Or) capital which represents the owner’s interest in assets and External equities (Or) liabilities which represents the outsider’s interest in assets.

Briefly explain the basic accounting concepts and conventions?                                                                                                                                                                       

            Accountants all over the world have developed certain rules, procedures and conventions, which represent a consensus view by the profession of good accounting practices and procedures and are generally referred to a “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. (GAAP)   Accounting Statements are prepared in conformity with these principles in order to place more reliance on them. Accounting is based on certain uniform and scientifically laid down principles. Following these principles will ensure uniformity, clarity and understanding in recording transactions. It is classified as

          I.      Accounting concepts:
    They are the assumptions or ideas which are essential to the practice of accounting and preparation of financial statements. They are;

1.  Accounting period concept: The life time of a business is considered as long as indefinite. But it is essential to study the result of business at appropriate intervals for taking corrective action as and when necessary. Therefore in accounting the life time of business is divided into number of accounting years to know its profitability and financial position.

2.  Accrual concept: This concept is based not only on cash transactions but also on credit transactions ensuring that the Profit & loss a/c shown is on the basis of full facts relating to all expenses and incomes without regard to the date of receipt or payment.

3.  Business entity concept: Business is treated as a separate entity from the proprietor and the persons associated with it. Transactions are recorded from view point of accounting entity and not from point of view of owners.
                  For e.g.:  If A starts business in the name “A & Co” then accounts is prepared for “A & Co” and not for A.

4.  Cost concept: This concept is based on the owing concern concept. It states that assets acquired are shown in books at cost. The market value is immaterial for accounting purpose. This concept has the advantage of bringing objectivity in the preparation and presentation of financial statements.

5.  Dual aspect concept: Every business transactions have two aspects – receiving of benefit and giving of benefit. Both the aspects of a transaction are recorded in the books of accounts which is the basis for double – entry system of book – keeping. The basic rule is that ‘for every debit there must be a corresponding credit’ clearly indicates the concept.
a.       : Accounting is based on the assumption that the accounting unit is to continue in operation or continue to exist for unlimited period unless of course dissolved or terminated for some reasons.

6.  Money measurement concept: This concept requires that those transactions alone which are capable of being measured in terms of money are to be recorded in books. Other than money transactions fall beyond the scope of accounting.

7.  Matching concept: Matching of revenues with cost of a period is necessary to ascertain the profits earned during that period. This matching of periodical cost with revenue is known as matching concept.

8.  Realization or Revenue recognition concept: According to this concept revenue is considered as earned on the date when it is realized. The revenue should be realized only when it is legally due and realizable.
                              For e.g.:  When goods are sold, the date of placing the order and date of receipt of cash are irrelevant and only date of passing title to goods is relevant to income recognition.  

        II.    Accounting conventions:


    While preparing the accounting statements certain customs and traditions are followed which are called as accounting conventions. They are as follows;

1.Consistency: The accounting practice followed in a business should not be changed from one year to another. These practices should be adopted continuously to make financial statements more reliable.

2.Disclosure: In accounting statements, all information which is essential to the people who are interested in business like owners, creditors, etc., should be disclosed to make the statement more informative.

3.Conservatism: It means the policy of playing safe. No anticipated profit should be recorded and at the same time all possible losses should be provided for

      4.Materiality: Whether something should be disclosed or not depend on whether it is material or immaterial and the amount involved in those transactions.

What are the Basic accounting rules?

The rules for making Double entry system can be summarized as follows:
a.      Personal accounts
Debit the ‘Receiver’
Credit the ‘Giver’.
b.      Real accounts:
Debit ‘What comes in’.
Credit ‘What goes out’.
c.       Nominal accounts:
Debit all Expenses and Losses.
Credit all Incomes and Gains.

 Mention the classification of accounts? (Or) Explain the types of Accounts?

The object of Double entry system of Book – keeping is to keep a record of all the transactions that take place in a business.

An account is a statement in the ledger which records the transactions relevant to the person, asset, expense, or profit named in the heading. Accounts can be divided in to

a.       Personal accounts

b.      Impersonal accounts.

a.  Personal accounts

Accounts of persons with whom the business has dealings are known as personal accounts. It takes following forms;

1.  Natural persons: Name of an individual, customers or suppliers (e.g.) Krishna’s account, N’s account.

2.  Artificial persons or legal bodies: Firm’s account, limited companies, bank account etc., are known as artificial person’s account.

3.  Representative personal accounts: All accounts representing outstanding expenses, Prepaid expenses, Accrued incomes etc.,

 b.  Impersonal accounts
It is divided in to

1.      Real accounts: Accounts in which the business records the real things owned by it i.e. assets of business, tangible and intangible real accounts. It includes Building, cash furniture, trademark, good will etc.,

2.      Nominal accounts: It relates to items which exist in name only. Expenses, incomes etc., Accounts which record expenses, losses, incomes and gains of business. E.g. rent a/c, salaries a/c, interest received a/c.


What are the limitations of Accounting?

In spite of its indispensable position in modern business, accounting has its own limitations. They are;

· Accounting ignores transactions, which cannot be expressed in terms of money (non-monetary nature).

· It relies on Estimates and forecasts in several important matters like life of machinery, Market value of investments, etc.,

·     Estimates and subjective influence of accountants affects the accuracy and reliability of accounting results.

· Accountants rely on historical cost for recording fixed assets, which do not reflect current financial position.

· It also ignores price level changes, which influences the value of assets and liabilities.

· Inflation, which is a universal phenomenon, makes the profit ascertained and financial position shown by accounting unrealistic and unreliable.

Write about Subsidiary books. (Or) State some reasons for maintaining Subsidiary books.

            In bigger businesses, transactions are so numerous so it may be necessary to group similar transactions even at journal stage in the shape of ‘Special Journals’ to minimize and facilitate ledger work. Thus Subsidiary books were developed.

                      It comprises of:
1.       Purchases book to record credit purchases of goods.
2.       Sales book to record credit sale of goods.
3.       Purchase returns book to record return to suppliers.
4.       Sale returns book to record return from customers
5.       Cash book to record all cash receipts and payments.
6.       Bills receivable book to record bills received.
7.       Bills payable book to record bills accepted.
8.       Journal proper to record any transactions, which cannot be entered in above, specified books.

Reasons:

1.      This system reduces overall work compared to a single Journal.
2.      Work on subsidiary books can be carried out by many accountants.
3.      Increased accuracy because of specialized work and monthly-summarized postings.
4.      Communicates better information, which is not possible in journal system.

What is trial balance? State its Objectives.

                            M.S. Gosav (The substance of Accountancy) “Trial balance is a statement containing balances of all ledger accounts, as at any given date, arranged in the form of debit and credit columns placed side by side with the object of checking the arithmetic accuracy of ledger postings”.

Objectives:

1.      To establish arithmetic accuracy of books to check whether accounting processes have been carried out without errors.

2.      To prepare financial statements based on trial balance

3.      To serve as a summary of what is contained in a ledger.

4.      To derive important conclusions by comparing yearly balances.

5.      To have a test of accounts before preparing final accounts.



UNDERSTANDING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Manufacturing Account:

                   Those concerns, which convert the raw materials into finished goods, are required to find out the cost of goods manufactured besides gross and net profit and these are manufacturing cum trading concerns.  In order to have full information about the cost of goods manufactured, these concerns firstly prepare manufacturing Account and then prepare Trading and Profit and Loss Account.

Objectives:

The main object of Manufacturing Account is to show:

  • Cost of Finished Goods Produced

  • Constituent items thereof such as cost of materials consumed, productive wages, direct and indirect expenses.

Trading and Profit & Loss Account:

Trading Account:

                   This Account is prepared to know the trading results of the business i.e. how much gross profit the business has earned from buying and selling during a particular period.  The difference between the sales and cost of goods sold is gross profit.

 For the purpose of calculating cost of goods sold, we take into consideration opening stock, purchases, and direct expenses on purchasing or manufacturing the goods and closing stock.  The balance of this account represents gross profit or loss and is transferred to the profit and loss account.

Profit and Loss Account:

This account is prepared to calculate the net profit of the business.  There are certain items of incomes and expenses of the business, which must be taken into consideration for calculating net profit of the business.  These are of indirect nature i.e. concerning the whole business and relating to various activities, which are done by the business for the purpose of making the goods available to the consumers. 

Indirect expenses may be selling and distribution expenses, management expenses, financial expenses, extraordinary losses and expenses to maintain the assets into working order.  This account is prepared from nominal accounts and its balance is transferred to capital account as the whole profit or loss will be that of owner and it will increase or decrease his capital. 


Balance Sheet:

A Balance Sheet is a statement prepared with a view to measure the financial position of a business on a certain fixed date.  The financial position of a concern is indicated by its assets on a given date and its liabilities on that date.  Excess of assets over liabilities represent the capital and is indicative of the financial   soundness of a company. 

A Balance Sheet is also described as a “statement Showing the Sources and application of capital”.  It is a statement and not an account and prepared from real and personal accounts.  The left hand side of the balance sheet may be viewed as a description of the sources from which the business has obtained the capital with which it currently operates and the right hand side as a description of the form in which that capital is invested on a specified date.

Objectives:

A properly drawn up balance sheet gives information relating to

A) The nature and value of Asset,
B) The nature and extent of Liabilities,
C) Whether the firm is solvent,
D) Whether the firm is overtrading.

If assets exceeds the liabilities, the firm is solvent i.e., able to pay its debts in full.
