Learning Goal 5 Describe eight basic accounting concepts underlying financial reporting.
Accounting Concepts The business entity concept limits the economic data in the accounting system to data related directly to the activities of the business. The cost concept determines the amount initially entered into the accounting records for purchases.
Accounting Concepts A business normally expects to continue operating for an indefinite period of time. This is known as the going concern concept. Under the matching concept, revenues for a period are matched with the expenses incurred in generating the revenue. The objectivity concept requires that entries in the accounting records and the data reported on financial statements be based on objective evidence.
Accounting Concepts The unit of measure concept requires that all economic data be recorded in dollars. Financial statements should contain all relevant data a reader needs to understand the financial condition and performance of a business. This is the adequate disclosure concept. The accounting period concept is the process in which accounting data are recorded and summarized in financial statements.
