Study Notes
Accrual vs. Cash-basis Accounting
- Accrual accounting records the impact of each transaction as it occurs.
- Cash-basis accounting only records cash receipts and cash payments.
- Most businesses use the accrual method.
Adjusting Entries
- Adjusting entries are used to ensure financial statements accurately reflect the period's activities.
- Adjusting entries never involve the Cash account.
- Adjusting entries either increase revenue (credit) or increase expenses (debit).
- Prepayments, or deferrals, involve cash payments or receipts before recognizing revenue or expense.
- Example: Prepaid rent
- Accrued expenses occur when an expense is incurred before cash payment is made
- Example: Salaries
- Accrued revenues occur when revenue is earned before cash is received
- Example: Performing services but not yet receiving payment
- Unearned revenues reflect cash received before a service or product is delivered or earned.
Adjusting Entry Types
- Prepaid expenses
- Depreciation of Non-current Assets
- Accrued Expenses
- Accrued Revenues
- Unearned Revenues
Depreciation
- Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a non-current asset over its useful life.
- Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset account (opposite balance to asset).
- Depreciation expense increases the expense account and decreases accumulated depreciation
Trial Balance
- A trial balance lists all accounts with their debit and credit balances to ensure debits and credits are equal.
- An unadjusted trial balance is created before adjusting entries are performed.
- An adjusted trial balance is created after adjusting entries are performed.
Financial Statements
- Balance sheet
- Income statement
- Owners' equity statement
