, 1. Business vocabulary and idioms
What is accounting?
Accounting is a process of:
• identifying and measuring quantitative financial activities
• communicating these financial reports to the decisionmakers
Vocabulary
• To divest = to get rid of an investment, part of a business, etc. by selling: he had encouraged
the state to divest such holdings.
• To taper off = to become gradually smaller or weaker or happen less often: her voice tapered
off as she realized everyone was listening.
• Remiss = careless, not doing a duty well enough: you have been remiss in your duties.
• To hone = to make something suitable for its purpose: she honed her skills in customer
relations at Brussels Airlines.
• To pick up the slack / to take up the slack = to improve a situation by doing something that
someone else has not done or not completed: with our best player injured, other players
have to pick up the slack.

Accounting assumptions and principles
Assumption = something that is generally accepted as being true
Assumptions:
• Separate entity or business entity assumption = a business is distinct from its owners,
creditors, and managers
• Time-period assumption = economic life is divided into time periods
• Continuity or going concern assumption = a business will continue into the future
• Unit-of-measure assumption = transactions are measured in a single currency
Principles:
• Full-disclosure principle = a financial reporting must include all significant information
• Materiality principle = very small and unimportant amounts do not need to be shown
• Conservatism principle = choose accounting methods least likely to overstate assets or
income.
• Objectivity principle = accounts should be based on facts, not personal opinions or feelings
• Revenue recognition principle = Revenue is recognized when earned, not necessarily when
paid for
• Matching principle = costs or expenses related to revenue must be recorded in the same
accounting period
