Lecture 1

Basic financial statements

 Balance sheet = possessions (assets), owners (equity = eigen vermogen), obligations
(liabilities)
o Equity = assets - liabilities
o Assets = equity + liabilities
 Cash flow statement = either positive (cash inflow) or negative (cash outflow)  (liquiditeits
begroting)
 Income statement = a summary of detailed underlying information  (winst- en
verliesrekening)
o Positive revenue, negative costs, profit/loss
 Cash flow affects cash on the balance sheet, income statement affects equity on the balance
sheet
 Cash is essential, but in the short run, cash is a noisy measure of performance
 By recording changes in equity, accounting tries to create a better measure of performance
than the change in cash
 Basic relationships:
o ∆ cash + ∆ other assets = ∆ liabilities + ∆ equity
o Cash flow + ∆ other assets = ∆ liabilities + profit
o Profit = cash flow + (∆ other assets - ∆ liabilities)
o Profit = cash flow + ‘’accruals’’
o Accruals = ∆ other assets - ∆ liabilities
o Or profit = cash flow + interpretation

Accruals: some technical terms

 To recognize/recognition = to record an element (asset, income, expense) in the balance
sheet or income statement (for assets also to capitalize)
 To measure/measurement = to give a numerical value to an element in the balance sheet or
income statement. The amount for which an item is shown in the balance sheet: ‘’book
value’’, ‘’carrying amount’’

The basic relationship including transactions with owners

 Profit = ∆ equity + payments to owners (dividends)
o ∆ cash + ∆ other assets = ∆ liabilities + ∆ equity
o Cash flow + ∆ other assets = ∆ liabilities + profit + contributions by owners –
distribution to owners
o Profit = cash flow + (∆ other assets - ∆ liabilities) + contributions by owners –
distribution to owners
o Profit = cash flow + ‘’accruals’’ – net contribution by owners
o Accruals = ∆ other assets - ∆ liabilities
o Or profit = cash flow + interpretation

Bookkeeping basics

 Opening balance sheet  debit & credit
 Each item In your balance has a separate double page in the ledger
 Each double page is called an account

,  Record changes as they happen in a second book: journal
 From time to time, journal entries are posted, one by one, to the ledger
 The ledger is closed periodically by transferring the account balances to the balance sheet
 Why is there a debit for every credit?  an increase in one asset means a decrease in
another asset and an decrease in an asset means in a decrease in another liability
 Profit and loss account to equity (T-format, but vertically it is ‘’income statement’’)

Lecture 2

Accounting principles

 Realization principle
o Recognize revenue only when realized (sold and delivered/performance obligation
satisfied/payment is probable)
 Matching principle
o Recognize expenses in the income statement in the same period as the revenue to
which they relate (expenses that are necessary to make the sales)
 (historical) cost principle
o Expenses in the income statement are determined on the basis of amounts paid in
the past (assets are measured on the basis of costs)
