Study Notes

Financial Accounting Concepts

The business entity concept should be applied to record a transaction where the owner of a business takes goods from inventory for personal use.
The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting identifies several qualitative characteristics of useful financial information, including relevance, faithful representation, timeliness, comparability, and verifiability.

Accounting for Transactions

A credit entry will increase a bank overdraft, while a debit entry will decrease payables.
A debit balance on a ledger account indicates an asset or expense, while a credit balance indicates a liability or revenue.
The petty cash book is a book of prime entry.

Depreciation

Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a non-current asset over its useful life.
The reducing-balance method of depreciation involves deducting a percentage of the asset's carrying value each year.
The straight-line method of depreciation involves allocating the cost of the asset evenly over its useful life.

Accounting for Non-Current Assets

Capital expenditure refers to the expenditure relating to the acquisition or improvement of non-current assets.
The cost of a non-current asset includes delivery and installation costs, as well as any testing and training costs.

Accounting for Receivables and Payables

Discounts received from suppliers for early settlement should be treated as a deduction from the value of purchases.
A receivables ledger control account should be reconciled to ensure that the balance agrees with the total of the individual accounts in the ledger.

Bank Reconciliations

A bank reconciliation statement should be prepared to reconcile the bank statement balance with the cash book balance.
Items to be included in a bank reconciliation statement include outstanding cheques, outstanding lodgements, and bank charges.

Petty Cash

An imprest system of petty cash involves maintaining a float, and regularly replenishing it to the original amount.
The float should be maintained at a constant level, and any discrepancies should be investigated and corrected.

Errors and Corrections

Errors in accounting can result in a trial balance that does not agree, and these errors should be investigated and corrected.
A suspense account should be used to record errors and corrections, and to ensure that the accounting equation remains balanced.

Financial Statements

The statement of profit or loss should include all revenues and expenses, including irrecoverable debts and prepayments.
The capital balance should be calculated by adding the opening capital balance to the profit, and deducting drawings.
Accruals and prepayments should be accounted for in the financial statements to ensure that revenue and expenses are matched accurately.### Accounts and Finance
At 30 April 20X3, Neardey's total amount owed by customers was 64,865,andthereceivablesallowancewas64,865, and the receivables allowance was 64,865,andthereceivablesallowancewas3,775. These balances should be reported in Neardey's statement of financial position as at 30 April 20X3 as 64,865asacurrentassetand64,865 as a current asset and 64,865asacurrentassetand3,775 as a current liability.

Debts totaling 76,000werewrittenoff,andtheallowanceforreceivableswasadjustedto1076,000 were written off, and the allowance for receivables was adjusted to 10% of the receivables.
