PERMANENT ACCOUNTS – As the name suggests, these accounts are permanent in a sense that their balances remain
intact from one accounting period to another. Examples of permanent account include Cash, Accounts Receivable,
Accounts Payable, Loans Payable and Capital among others. Basically, assets, liabilities and equity accounts are
permanent accounts. They are called permanent accounts because the accounts are retained permanently in the SFP until
their balances become zero. This is in contrast with temporary accounts which are found in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income (SCI). Temporary accounts unlike permanent accounts will have zero balances at the end of the
accounting period.
CONTRA ASSETS – Contra assets are those accounts that are presented under the assets portion of the SFP but are
reductions to the company’s assets. These include Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Accumulated Depreciation.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra asset to Accounts Receivable. This represents the estimated amount that the
company may not be able to collect from delinquent customers. Accumulated Depreciation is a contra asset to the
company’s Property, Plant and Equipment. This account represents the total amount of depreciation booked against the
fixed assets of the company.

V. LIFELONG LEARNING
Some people say that money is the source of most of their stress. They lack balance for themselves and
their statement of financial position (balance sheet) shows it.
In the Bible, Jesus tells us that the number one obstacle to a relationship with God is our money. Luke
reminds us that no one can serve two masters. "Either you will hate the one and love the other, or
you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and
money." (Luke 16:13)
As a Christian and as a steward of the resources entrusted by God to us, how will you balance your life
while honoring God and at the same time managing your money?
