Accounting Concepts
Ex 1: You are running your own Textile Showroom as a Dealer in Cloth as a Sole
Proprietor/Individual Owner of the Business. The entire capital amount for the
Business is provided by you. In this case also for the purpose of accounting you
need to maintain Two set of books.
One set of books for the purpose of Textile Business in which, Business
owes you equivalent to the Capital Provided (Capital + Profit earned) or
(Capital Losses)
In your own Books the amount of Capital invested will be shown as an
Investment in Business as an Asset. This need not be maintained as a
Normal Set of Books but required to know the Cash Inflow and Cash Outflow
from Income Tax Perspective.
Ex 2: You are working for Oracle Corporation and Oracle has a Bank Account
with Bank of America and You have Bank Account with Citi Bank and the salary
at end of every month is transferred from Bank of America to Citi Bank. How
many accounting Entities involved in this case?
If your answer is 4, then you are right (You, Oracle Corp, Bank of America,
Citi Bank)
Ex 3: You run your own Business in Software Consulting and your Friend has
agreed to provide a Loan of 50000 USD which he goes and deposit directly into
your Bank account - How many accounting Entities involved in this case?
If you say 3, You are right, it is only Three. (You, Your Friend and Bank)

Accounting Concepts
Cost Concept
Assets are always shown at their Cost and not at
their current Market Value
Ex 1. A Land Purchased for Rs.5 Lacs will be
recorded only at Rs.5 Lacs even though Market
value may be lower say Rs.4 Lacs or Higher Rs.6
Lacs than the Cost Price
Ex 2. You are acquiring a Business for a Million
USD and its value as per Books is 0.8 Million, then
the difference of 0.2 Million is termed as Goodwill
and you should records the assets and liabilities at
the price you have paid for the Business (i.e.) 1
Million

Period
Accounting Concepts
Conservatism
Anticipate no Profits but provide for all possible losses.
Accounting Concepts
Realization Concept
The Sales is considered to have taken place only when either the cash
is received or some third party becomes legally liable to pay the
amount. Revenues are recognized when they are earned or
realized. Realization is assumed to occur when the seller receives
cash or a claim to cash (receivable) in exchange for goods or services
Ex 1: A Sales invoice for Rs.1 Million
Credit Note for Rs.15000 received
Ex 2: For instance, if a company is awarded a contract to build an
office building the revenue from that project would not be recorded in
one lump sum but rather it would be divided over time according to the
work that is actually being done.
21
Accounting Concepts
Matching
Concept
When an Event affects both the revenues and expenses, the effect on
each should be recognized in the same accounting period
Ex 1: Generally Employees Salaries are paid for the previous month at
the beginning of the next month. But they have rendered their
services to produce goods and sold and Sales revenue is recognized
in previous month. So to match the cost with the revenue earned, we
need to make provision for Salaries in previous month itself. (i.e.)
March Salary paid in April, but a Salary Payable provision will be
made in March itself
EX 2: Insurance Premium paid for Jan- Dec whereas your accounting
period closes on March. In this case only three months premium need
to be treated as Expense and balance 9 months treated as advance
premium paid as an asset

Accounting Conventions
Consistency
The Accounting Policies and methods followed by the
company should be the same every year
Ex 1. Period should not be changed frequently from JanDec to Apr-Mar
Ex 2. Inventory Valuation change from FIFO to LIFO or
Weighted Average not permitted frequently
Ex 3. Changing Depreciation Policy from Straight Line to
Reducing Balance Method frequently
Note: If any Company decides to change the policy, then
that Company has to report on the effect of Profit/Loss
due to the change for past 5 Years.
26
Accounting Conventions
Accrual
In General it is assumed that Accounts are always
prepared based on Accrual basis. However there are
entities which follow Cash Basis of Accounting Also
Ex: Salary Payable to employees (March salary paid in
April), Interest Receivable on Investments
(NSC
interest), Dividend Receivable on shares, Tax Payable to
Government (March sales Tax and Annual Income Tax)
The Company Law / Income Tax Act Prescribes all
Companies to follow Accrual Basis of Accounting except
for Professional Firms and Government Organizations
which are allowed to follow Cash Basis of Accounting.
