Study Notes
Accounting Processes and Concepts
- Recording Process: Putting records in their analysis form is called accounting.
- Bookkeeper Functions: Bookkeepers perform tasks like recording and posting transactions. Analyzing and interpreting are not their primary functions.
- Account Classification: Accounts are grouped by their type; some provided examples are grouped incorrectly (e.g., capital, accounts payable, land). This isn't a function of a bookkeeper's tasks
- Double-Entry Bookkeeping: Double-entry bookkeeping requires a corresponding debit and credit entry for every transaction.
- Accounting Cycle Stages: The correct order for the accounting cycle stages is journalizing, posting to the ledger, trial balance, and final accounts.
- Accounting Transactions: Physical wear and tear on equipment isn't an accounting transaction; it's depreciation.
- Nominal Accounts: Nominal accounts are temporary accounts that reflect revenue and expenses. Examples are commission, insurance receivable, and capital.
- Real Accounts: Real accounts are permanent accounts (assets, liabilities, and equity). Examples include land, buildings, equipment, etc.
- Personal Accounts: Personal accounts represent individuals or entities (customers, suppliers). Drawings and wages are not personal accounts. Accounts receivable and payable are accounts, not people.
Accounting Principles and Concepts
- Business Entity Concept: A business's financial records are separate from its owner's personal accounts. This is illustrated in the scenario where a motor cycle value was excluded from business fixed assets.
- Matching Principle: The principle of connecting revenue and expenses (not the case in the scenario).
- Prudence Principle: This principle guides the recognition of potential losses and liabilities without overstating revenue (as seen in the creation of a provision for Doubtful Debts).
- Accrual Principle: Transactions are recorded when they occur, regardless of cash flow, illustrating the correct answer in the question.
- Consistency Principle: Consistency (not relevant in the scenario).
