,H1. The basics
Accounting is planning, recording, analysing and interpreting financial information. Accounting can be on a
small level, such as personal finance, but also on a business level, where you account for companies.

Three basic activities:
1. Identifying information
2. Recording information
3. Communicating accounting reports (most common are called financial statements)

Users of accounting data:
1. Internal users
2. External users

Four core accounting assumptions:
1. The monetary assumption: only transactions that can be expressed in monetary terms are recorded in
the accounting system.
2. The economic entity assumption: accounting is done on an economic entity basis.
3. Going concern assumption: the company will continue to exist in the foreseeable future.
4. The time period assumption: accounting is done for specific periods.

H1.1. accounting equation
The basics elements of a business are what is owns and what it owes. These two elements can be translated
into the accounting equation, which states:

Assets = liabilities – equity

Figure 1: expanded accounting equation

Always:
 An account is an asset, liability or equity, if not- it is an expense of revenue
 When an account increases/decreases, another account increases/decreases

Share capital-ordinary:
Capital value:
Value asset – value debt = total value organization
Share value:
Total value organization / total shares = value of one share

Retained earnings:
Revenue – expenses – dividend

,Revenue: gross increase in equity (due to normal business operations) / increase in value of a company
Expenses: decrease in equity (due to normal business operations) / decrease in value of a company
H1.2. analysing business transactions
Business transactions are business’s economic events recorded by accountants. Transactions may be external or
internal
External transactions: economic event between the company and some outside enterprise
Internal transactions: economic event within the company.

H1.3. financial statements
Companies prepare five financial statements from the summarized accounting date

Financial statements:
1. Income statement: present the revenues and expenses and resulting net income/loss
2. Retained earnings statement: summarizes the changes in retained earnings
3. Statement of financial position (Balance sheet): reports the assets, liabilities and equity
4. Statement of cash flows: summarizes information about the cash flows (receipts/ins and
payments/outs)
5. (comprehensive) income statement: presents other comprehensive income items that are not included
in the determination of net income

H1.4. accrual versus cash accounting
The main difference between accrual and cash basis accounting lies in the timing of when revenue
and expenses are recognized

Accrual basis accounting: record transactions in the periods in which this event occurs (most used
and recommended by the IFRS)
Cash basis accounting: record transactions in the period in which cash is received.

Differences in accounting:

Modified cash basis of accounting: a hybrid method between cash accounting and accrual accounting.

, H2. Recording process

Steps of recording progress:
1. The transaction occurs
2. The data of the transaction is recorded
3. The data is entered in a journal
4. The journal accounts are posted in a ledger

H2.1. accounts, debits and credits
An account is an individual accounting record of increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability or
equity
An account consist of:
1. A title
2. A debit side
3. A credit side

T-balance: Figure 2: T-balance example
Debit (Dr.): left side of account
Credit (Cr.): right side of account

Where some accounts can increase a side (let’s say the debit side), it can increase the other side (let’s say credit
side).

Summary debit/credit rules
1. Basic accounting equation:
Assets = liabilities + equity
2. Expanded accounting equation:
Assets = liabilities + share capital + retained earnings – expenses – dividend
3. Double-entry bookkeeping:
When debit changes, credit also changes, and vice versa. The total amount debited is equal to the total amount
credited.
