  26. II. Accrual Accounting • The time-period concept, the revenue recognition and matching principles. • Accrual versus cash basis accounting. • Adjusting entries. Accounting Cycle

  27. The Time-Period Concept, the Revenue Recognition & Matching Principles • The time-period concept: • Income and financial position of a business are reported periodically, not until the end of life of a business. Accounting Cycle

  28. Revenue Recognition Principle (SFAS No. 5) (-An Accrual Basis) • Revenue is recognized when it is earned and realized or realizable (SFAC 5, par. 83). • Earned: the entity has substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to compensation. • Realized: goods are exchanged for cash or claims. • Realizable: assets received as compensation are readily convertible into cash or claims to cash. • In general, these conditions are met at time of sale (delivery) or when services are rendered regardless whether cash is collected or not (SFAC 5, par. 84). • . Income Measurement And Profit Analysis

  29. Revenue Recognition Principle • Other conditions for revenue recognition (Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101(1999)): • Persuasive evidence of a sale. • Price is fixed or determinable. • Collectibility is reasonably assured. • Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Income Measurement And Profit Analysis

  30. The Expense Recognition (Matching) Principle • If revenues are recognized in a period, all related expenses should be recognized in the same period regardless whether expenses are paid or not. • The related expenses include traceable costs (e.g. product costs), periodcosts, (e.g. interest and rent expenses) and estimated expenses (e.g. depreciation expense and bad debt expense). Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements

  31. Accrual vs. Cash Basis Accounting • Accrual-basis accounting: Revenues are recognized based on revenue recognition principle (i.e., recognized when realized and earned regardless whether cash is collected or not). Expenses are recognized based on matching principle (i.e., recognized when incur regardless whether they are paid or not). Note: revenue and expense recognize before cash settlement. Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements

  32. Accrual vs. Cash Basis Accounting (contd.) • Cash-basis accounting: The accountant does not record a transaction until cash is received or paid. Cash-basis accounting is NOT acceptable for financial reporting. Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements

  33. Adjusting Entries • Due to the periodicity concept, financial reports are prepared periodically. • Based on revenue recognition principle, adjusting entries are prepared at the end of a period to recognize revenues earned during the period but not yet recorded (i.e., accrued revenues). Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements

  34. Adjusting Entries (contd.) • Based on the matching principle, the accrued expenses (i.e., expenses incurred but not yet paid/recorded) and estimated expenses (i.e., depreciation expense and bad debt expense) are recorded at the end of a period. Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements
