ACCOUNTING A LANGUAGE
ACCOUNTING LANGUAGE OF BUSINESS. COMPLICATION SIMILAR TO TASK OF LEARNING NEW LANGUAGE. WORDS USED IN A DIFFERENT SENSE IN ACCOUNTING THAN IN THEIR COLLOQUIAL MEANING (EG: NET WORTH). SOME ACCOUTING RULES ARE DEFINITE OTHERS ARE NOT.
BASIC CONCEPTS
1. Money measurement. Record is made only of information that can be expressed in monetary terms.
2. Entity. Accounts kept for entities, as distinguished from the persons who are associated with these entities. 3. Going concern. Entity will continue to operate for an indefinitely long period in the future. 4. Cost concept. The economic resources of an entity is ordinarily entered in the accounting records at the price paid to acquire it. 5. Dual aspect. Since all of the assets of a business are claimed by someone and since the total of these claims cannot exceed the amount of assets to be claimed it follows that ASSETS = LIABILITIES & EQUITIES
BASIC CONCEPTS
6. Accounting period. Accounting measures activities for a specified interval of time called accounting period. (Pacioli, first author of an accounting text, wrote in 1494: Books should be closed each year, especially in a partnership, because frequent accounting makes for long partnership.)
7. Conservatism. Recognition of revenues requires better evidence than does recognition of expenses.
8. Consistency. All the policies adopted for preparing financial statements should be consistently Followed by the entity.
9. Materiality. Insignificant events may be disregarded, but there must be full disclosure of all important information.
