Study Notes

An Overview of Accounting: Transactions, Financing, Purchasing, Processing, Bookkeeping, and Financial Statements

Accounting is about identifying and recording business transactions to assist in managing and planning a business.
A transaction is any event that is a change in a company's business which is measurable in terms of money and implies a change in the financial position.
Transactions can be cash, credit, barter, or paper, and can be internal or external.
Business transactions involve two parties, are measurable in terms of money, result in a transfer of goods or services, and change the financial position of the company.
Financing is the operation of gathering operating resources, either from internal sources (equity) or external sources (debt).
Purchasing is the operation of acquiring productive factors that will be used in the processing phase of the business cycle.
Processing is the operation through which the company transforms its own resources and purchased operating means into finished products/services to be sold to market.
Selling the finished products or services results in the realization of revenues and the recognition of cash in and/or account receivables.
Bookkeeping is the routine recording of business transactions using the double entry bookkeeping model.
Every business transaction results in a double change in the financial position of the business, reflected in changes to assets, liabilities, owner's equity, expenses, or revenues.
The balance of these accounts is reported in the Balance Sheet Statement, which shows the financial position of a company at a specific point in time.
The Income Statement summarizes the results of operating for a period of time, showing realized revenues and sustained expenses, and the resulting performance of the company during that period.
