...CHAPTER 2: Recording Process ( SWD: Lecture Review) What is an account? An account is an accounting record of increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability, or owner’s equity item. For example, Softbyte (the company discussed in Chapter 1) would have separate accounts for Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Service Revenue, and Salaries Expense. In its simplest form, an account consists of three parts: (1) a title, (2) a left or debit side, and (3) a right or credit side. Because the format of an account resembles the letter T, we refer to it as a T account. Debits and Credits The terms debit and credit are directional signals: Debit indicates left, and credit indicates right.They indicate which side of a T account a number will be recorded on. Entering an amount on the left side of an account is called debiting the account. Making an entry on the right side is crediting the account.We commonly abbreviate debit as Dr. and credit as Cr. Double-entry accounting system • Each transaction must affect two or more accounts to keep the basic accounting equation in balance. • Recording done by debiting at least one account and crediting another. • DEBITS must equal CREDITS. If Debits are greater than Credits, the account will have a debit balance. If Credits are greater than Debits, the account will have a credit balance. The normal balance of an account is on the side where an increase in the account is recorded. The Journal Companies initially record transactions...

...Cathy D. Brown Professor: Kenneth Lavery Course: BUS 557 Financial Accounting May 19, 2013 ABSTRACT The paper will describe my business as an Entrepreneur. The business I choose would be run as a sole proprietorship business owned and controlled by one man (myself) even though many other persons will work for me. By choosing to run my business as a sole proprietor I may use a trade name or business name other than my legal name. I will justify the legal form of being a sole proprietor and its advantages over other forms. As an entrepreneur and a sole proprietor, I can declare my business income on my personal income tax form, rather than having to file a separate tax form, (as you would have to do if you chose the corporate form of business ownership). The roles of the executive management team will be to orients staff and oversees their training. In addition, they schedule staff work hours, making sure that peak dining hours are covered.

...(1) Uses of Accounting Information and the Financial Statements a. Accounting as an Information System i. Accounting is an information system that measures, processes, and communicates financial information about an economic entity. Accountants focus on the needs of decision makers. ii. External decision makers use financial accounting reports to evaluate how well a business has achieved its goals. These reports are called financial statements. iii. The primary external users of accounting information are investors and creditors. Users with indirect financial interests include, among others, tax authorities (IRS) and regulatory agencies (SEC). b. The Corporate Form of Business i. There are three basic forms of business: 1. Sole Proprietorship: One person is the owner, takes all the profits or losses of the business, and is liable for all of its obligations. 2. Partnership: Two or more owners (“partners”) share the profits and losses of the business according to a prearranged formula. Legally, there is no economic separation between the owners and the business. This unlimited liability of its partners is a key disadvantage of a partnership. 3. Corporation: A business unit chartered by the state that is legally separate from its owners (“stockholders”). Stockholders enjoy limited liability. 4. Limited Liability Company (MM addition): c. The Financial Statements and their Elements i. Income Statement 1. Many people consider the income statement (aka the “Statement...

...CHAPTER 1 Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting: ENVIRONMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS QUESTION 1-1 a. The similarities of accounting for profit-seeking and G&NP organizations include: 1. Double-entry system of accounts. 2. Most accounting mechanics, e.g., basic transaction documents, journals, ledgers, charts of accounts. 3. Where a G&NP organization has a business-type activity, e.g., a municipal electric utility, the accounting largely parallels that for a similar private business (e.g., electric utility). b. Among the unique aspects of G&NP organization accounting are: 1. Fund accounting—designed to separate resources according to the purposes for which they may be used and to account for their uses and balances. 2. Budgetary control techniques—to help assure appropriations are not overexpended and all resources due the G&NP organization are received by it. Question 1-2 a. A fund of a government organization is an independent fiscal and accounting entity. Each fund has a separate self-balancing set of accounts in which are recorded the resources segregated for specific purposes, the related liabilities and residual equity (fund balance or net assets), and the changes therein. Financial statements typically must be presented to report the financial position and operating activities of a fund of a government. b. As the term is generally used in commercial accounting, a "fund" merely indicates that a portion...

...increasing, people with financial responsibilities should be knowledgeable in the two primary accounting methods. The 2 primary accounting methods are GAAP, stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and IFRS, which stands for International Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Accounting Standards Board set the GAAP which is used primarily in the United States and the IFRS is used in many other countries. It has been noted that the United States Security and Exchange Commission is planning to switch to IFRS in 2015. There are many differences between the accounting methods that could result in different reporting. However on the same note, they also have some features in common. When having a good understanding of both methods, this will allow the companies to make better business decisions that are flexible and effective. IFRS 2-1: In what ways does the format of a statement of financial or position under IFRS often differ from a balance sheet presented under GAAP? Accounts are required by the GAAP to be listed by liquidity. Cash would be listed first because it is a current asset whereas a shareholder equity would be last because it is a non-current asset. However, IRFS do not required accounts to be listed in a specific order on the financial statement. Therefore most companies report in reverse order of liquidity. The bottom line is providing a nice clear understanding of the companies’ assets to who use financial statements. IFRS 2-2: Do the IFRS and GAAP...

...Nick O'Brien started to work in the accounting department at his aunt's software company. While going over some financial statements Nick notices what he believes are revenue recognition issues. Since Nick believes that Lee Marchetti the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of O'Brien Software is an honest man, he decides to have a discussion with him about what he believes are revenue recognition issues. Mr. Marchetti explains to Nick that accounting is not an exact science and that it involves a lot of judgment calls and that O'Brien Software's "deferrals and estimates are well documented and in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules" (Conservative Recognition or Cookie Jar Reserves, Carpenter p. 3). After speaking with Mr. Marchetti, Nick decided to still speak with his aunt Amelia about his concerns. Amelia expressed to Nick that she was not very good when it came to accounting matters but she was educated when it came to recognizing revenue and that she believed being conservative was better than overstating. However, she asked Nick if he thought she should mention what he found to the audit committee. Issues/Questions One question that should be addressed surrounds why the CEO Amelia is not aware of certain financial aspects of her business. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the chief executive officer (CEO) and the chief financial officer (CFO) of public companies to certify the quarterly and annual financial statements submitted to the SEC (Arens...

...Accounting or accountancy is the measurement, processing and communication of financial information about economic entities.[1][2] The modern field was established by the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in 1494.[3] Accounting, which has been called the "language of business",[4] measures the results of an organization's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users, including investors, creditors, management, and regulators.[5] Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants. The terms 'accounting' and 'financial reporting' are often used as synonyms. Accounting can be divided into several fields including financial accounting, management accounting, auditing, and tax accounting.[6]Accounting information systems are designed to support accounting functions and related activities. Financial accounting focuses on the reporting of an organization's financial information, including the preparation of financial statements, to external users of the information, such as investors, regulators and suppliers;[7] and management accounting focuses on the measurement, analysis and reporting of information for internal use by management.[1][7] The recording of financial transactions, so that summaries of the financials may be presented in financial reports, is known as bookkeeping, of which double-entry bookkeeping is the most common system.[8] Accounting is facilitated by accounting organizations such as standard-setters, accounting firms and professional...
