Accounting principles and assumptions
provide the framework upon which accounting standards are constructed
To provide information that is useful for decision making, financial reports must possess two
important characteristics:
1.Relevance
Information has the potential to impact decision making
2.Faithful representation
Means that the information accurately reflects an entity’s economic activity or condition
Financial accounting and generally accepted accounting principles are based upon the
following assumptions:
, 1. Monetary unit
2. Time period
3. Business entity
4. Going concern
Monetary unit = requires the financial reports be expressed in a single money unit, or
currency. This provides a common measurement of the effects of economic events and
transactions on an entity.
(U.S.A → U.S dollar is the monetary unit)
Business entity = Limits the economic data in financial reports to that directly related to the
activities of the business.
Going concern = requires that financial reports be prepared assuming that the entity will
continue operating into the future
Assets = liabilities + stockholders equity
Dividends
Distributions of earnings to stockholders
Accounting equation
- The effect of every transaction is an increase or a decrease on one or more
accounting equation elements.
- The two sides of the accounting equation are always equal
- The stockholders’ equity is increased by amounts invested by stockholders (common
stock)
- The stockholders’ equity is increased by revenues and decreased by expenses
- The stockholders’ equity is decreased by dividends paid to stockholders
Stockholders equity is classified as:
1. Common stock
2. Retained earnings
Retained earnings = The stockholders’ equity created from business operations through
revenue and expense transactions.
Financial statements:
1. Income statement
2. Retained earnings statement
