ACCOUNTING ASSUMPTIONS

A

Entity Concept
Going concern concept
Time period concept
Monetary unit concept
Accrual concept
Consistency concept

81
Q

For accounting purposes, an entity is the organizational unit for which accounting records are maintained (e.g., Joseph General Merchandising). the business is regarded as having a separate and distinct personality from that of the owner/s generating its own revenue incurring Its own expenses, owning its own assets, and owing its own liabilities (Smith, Keith, et al., 1993). This means that the personal transactions of the business.

A

ENTITY CONCEPT

82
Q

assumes that the company is going to be a continuing business for an indefinite period of time, that is, the company will not close shop and will neither sell nor liquidate its assets in the immediate or foreseeable future.

A

GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

83
Q

it divides the life of the business in regular intervals (usually one year) at the end of which financial statements are prepared.

A

TIME PERIOD or PERIODICITY CONCEPT

84
Q

A

Calendar year.

85
Q

. is marked and recognized by the year on which it ends. So, if a business follows the April to March financial cycle, then for the financial year 2022, the fiscal year begins on April 01, 2021, and ends on March 31, 2022.

A

Fiscal year

86
Q

Business activities are measured in - units and expressed in - units, for example, Philippine pesos, when they are recorded. Thus, any non-financial or non-monetary information must not be recorded in the accounting books, but must be noted in the form of a memorandum; and, if necessary for disclosure, be included as part of the notes to the financial statements.

A

MONETARY UNIT ASSUMPTIONS

87
Q

This concept requires that income be recorded when earned regardless whether cash is received. And an expense be recognized when incurred (e.g., when services or benefits have already been received) regardless whether payment is made. To apply the accrual concept, accountants have developed the accrual accounting. The accrual method of accounting attempts to record the financial effects on a company of transactions and other events and circumstances in the periods in which those transactions, events, and circumstances occur rather than only the periods in which cash is received or paid by the firm. This means that accrual accounting consists of all techniques developed by accountants to apply both the accrual and matching concepts (Needlers, Powers, et al., 19999).

A

ACCRUAL CONCEPT

88
Q

This principle requires accounting procedures in a consistent manner, that is, not subject to change from time to time. The greatest benefit that can be derived from adherence to this principle is the reliability of the results when a comparison between the financial information in one accounting period and the financial information in another accounting period is made.

A

CONSISTENCY PRINCIPLE

89
Q

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

A

Cost Principle
Revenue Recognition concept
Matching principle
Objectivity principle
Materiality concept
Disclosure Concept
Conservatism Concept

90
Q

this term refers to the amount of money spent in the acquisition of an asset. It is neither its prevailing market value nor its future value.

A

COST PRINCIPLE or HISTORICAL COST PRINCIPLE

91
Q

is the inflow of assets that results from producing goods or rendering services. - is not earned all at one point in time. Instead, the earning process extends over a considerable length of time. The - realization concept provides that income is recognized when earned regardless whether cash is received.

A

REVENUE RECOGNITION CONCEPT

92
Q

simply states that there should be matching between expenses and revenues. For this reason, most companies use accrual accounting, not cash accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recorded when they are earned, not when they are paid, whereas expenses are recorded when they are incurred, not when they are paid.

A

MATCHING PRINCIPLE

93
Q

requires that the recording of business transactions be done independently and rendered without bias and prejudice. It also requires proper documentation of the transactions recorded. For example, an official receipt is evidence of receipt of cash payment; a sales invoice is proof of a sales transaction or a petty cash voucher is a document to show an expense of a minimal amount.

A

OBJECTIVITY PRINCIPLE

94
Q

refers to the relative importance of an item or event. An item/ event is considered material if knowledge of it would influence the decision of prudent users of financial statements.

A

MATERIALITY CONCEPT

95
Q

This concept has a powerful influence in valuing assets and measuring net income. When faced which uncertainties, the accountant traditionally leans towards the direction of caution, choosing the method that would give the business a less favorable financial condition and lowers net income

A

CONSERVATISM or PRUDENCE CONCEPT

95
Q

All relevant and material events affecting the financial condition/position of a business and the result of its operation must be communicated to users of financial statements. We must remember that the purpose of accounting is to provide information that is useful to decision-makers. So, naturally, if there is accounting information not included in the primary financial statements that would benefit users, said information should be provided too.
