FINANCIAL ELEMENTS When applying, be sure to name the asset, rather than say “it”. Also, name the entity, rather than saying “they”. • Define ASSET Something which is controlled by the entity, future economic benefit will flow to the entity and is the result of a past transaction • Apply the Asset definition Why is the Equipment an asset? The Equipment was purchased in the past by the business. The business alone can use the Equipment for production. In the future the Equipment will be used for future production which helps the business earn income. Result of past transaction Controlled by the entity Future economic benefit flows to the entity Write the name of the business here

When applying, be sure to name the liability, rather than say “it”. Also, name the entity, rather than saying “they”. • Define LIABILITY Something which is an obligation of the entity, future economic benefit will flow from the entity and is the result of a past transaction • Apply the Liability definition Why is an Bank Overdraft a liability? In the past the business purchased goods using funds from the bank (ie. spent more money from their bank account than they have deposited). The business is now has to pay the borrowed money back.

Drawings represents the owner taking business money or assets for him/herself so is a direct reduction in equity not an expense of the business • Define ACCUMULATED FUND This represents the members financial interest in the organisation. Calculated by Assets – Liabilities.
INCOME Any inflow which increases equity through either increasing assetsordecreasing liabilities other than contribution by owner. • Apply the Income definition Why is Fees income? Fees increases equity by increasing profit and increases the asset bank when money is received (inflow) for the fees orincreases the asset accounts receivable if the service is provided on credit. It is not contribution by owner, but cash from customers.
Define EXPENSES Any outflow which decreases equity through either decreasing assetsorincreasing liabilities other than drawings by owner. • Apply the Expense definition Why is wages an expense? Wages decreases equity by decreasing profit and decreases the asset bank when money is paid (outflow) orincreases accrued expense liability if wages are owing.

Distinguish between CAPITAL and REVENUE EXPENDITURE (using examples) Capital expenditure results in an asset being created or improved, eg. Purchase of a vehicle. (It includes all costs associated with getting the asset on site and ready to use eg. Trial runs) Revenue expenditure is spending which does not create a new asset but is an “expense”, eg. Maintenance.
Define DEPRECIATION This is the measure of the loss in future service potential or economic benefit of an asset due to wear and tear and obsolescence. • Explain why we depreciate We are required (due to the Historical Cost Concept) to record our assets at the initial purchase price, however it is important that we do not overstate the value of our assets as this may lead to misleading information in our financial reports. To try and have a more realistic value of our assets we “write off” some of their value each year to recognise that they are no longer valued at their purchase price. The amount “written off” is classified as Depreciation
ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS • Define the ACCOUNTING ENTITY CONCEPT The personalfinancial affairs of the owner must be kept separate from the financial affairs of the business. • Recognise and apply the Accounting Entity Concept RECOGNISE APPLY The title of the financial statements will identify which entity the reports have been prepared for. This will also be specified in the Statement of Accounting Policies. Accounting statements are prepared for the business and do not include the owner’s personal assets, liabilities, income or expenses
Define the MONETARY CONCEPT All transactions need to be recorded in terms of a common unit, ie. the dollar. RECOGNISE APPLY Everything written down in financial statements is given a dollar value. This will also be specified in the Statement of Accounting Policies. All elements in the statements are given a dollar value and this enables us to compare items (eg. add up assets). LIMITATION It does however mean that we cannot include any items which cannot be given a dollar value. It also means that some items are estimated (eg Goodwill).
Define the GOING CONCERN CONCEPT We assume that the business will continue to operate into the foreseeable future. RECOGNISE APPLY This means that assets and liabilities can be recorded as NON-CURRENT because we assume that we will continue past the next accounting period This will be specified in the Statement of Accounting Policies.
Define the PERIOD REPORTING CONCEPT The life of a business is split into equal lengths of time for the purpose of financial reporting. RECOGNISE APPLY Eg. Income Statement for the year ended 31 March 2008 measures the profit/loss for the year. Allows us to make comparisons of profit, financial performance, cash flows and financial position from one period to the next and between similar entities The title of the financial statements will identify the period for which they have been prepared.
Define the ACCRUAL BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Transactions are recorded when they occur and reported in the period to which they relate. RECOGNISE APPLY Include all amounts owed or owing on Balance Sheet Day, eg. Accrued Income, Prepayments etc. Insurance paid is advance is recorded when it occurs but will not appear as an expense until the year the insurance relates to. Balance Day Adjustments allow us to record ALL assets and liabilities on Balance Sheet Day. This will also be specified in the Statement of Accounting Policies.
Define the HISTORICAL COST CONCEPT We record our assets at their initial purchase price regardless of their current resale value. RECOGNISE APPLY Assets will be specified at their purchase price. This will also be specified in the Statement of Accounting Policies. The PP&E table will list at Cost Record assets at purchase price and allow for losses in value through Depreciation. This enables a more realistic value of assets to be represented.
