BASIC ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES
a. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
-Set of guidelines and procedures that constitute acceptable accounting practice at a given time.
-Aims to make information relevant (affect users decision-making), reliable (Trusted by users), and
comparable (Contrasting organizations).
b.
Principles
1. Measurement/Cost Principle/Historical Cost – Acquired assets should be recorded at their actual cost.
2. Revenue recognition principle – Revenue is to be recognized in the accounting period when goods are
delivered or services are rendered or performed, not when cash is collected.
3. Expense recognition principle/Matching principle - Expenses should be recognized in the accounting
period in which goods and services are used up to produce revenue not when the entity pays for the goods or
services.
4. Full disclosure- Requires that all relevant (not all) information that would affect the user’s understanding
be disclosed in the financial statements.
5. Other principles:
Objectivity principle – Accounting records and statements are based on the most reliable data available.
Accounting records are based on information that flows from activities documented by objective evidence.
Consistency principle - Firms should use the same accounting method from period to period to achieve
comparability.
c. Assumptions
1. Going concern – Accounting information reflects presumption that the business will continue operating
instead of being closed or sold.
2. Monetary unit – We can express transactions and events in monetary units.
3. Time period – Life of a company can be divided into time periods, e.g. monthly, annually.
4. Business entity – A business is accounted for separately from other business, including its owner.
d. Constraints
1. Materiality – prescribes that only information that influences decisions need be disclosed.
2. Benefit exceeds cost – prescribes that only information with benefits of disclosure greater than the costs
of providing it need be disclosed.
4.
BUSINESS ENTITIES
a. Sole proprietorship – a business owned by one person and accounted for separately.
b. Partnership – a business owned and operated by two or more persons who bind themselves to contribute
money, property or industry to a common fund, with intention of dividing profits among themselves.
c. Corporation – A business owned by its stockholders. An artificial being created by operation of law, having
rights of successions and powers authorized by law.
