Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able to
define and understand the meaning of accounting, bookkeeping and
business; identify and describe the types of business organizations and the
activities performed by each organization.

ACCOUNTING
It is a service entity. Its function is to provide quantitative
information, primarily financial in nature, about economic entities that is
intended to be useful in making economic decisions.
It is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic
information to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of the
information.
It is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a significant
manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are, in part
at least, of a financial character, and interpreting the results thereof.

FORMS OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS


Sole Proprietorship .
This has a single owner called the proprietor. This tends to be small
service-type businesses and retail establishments. The owner receives all
profits, absorbs all losses and is solely responsible for all debts of the
business.
Partnership.

Date Developed: Document No. TIS-BK3-01


JUNE 2021 Issued by:

Journalizing TIS
Developed by:
Transactions TIS
Revision
It is a business owned and operated by two or more persons who bind
themselves to contribute money, property or industry to a common fund,
with the intention of dividing the profits themselves.

 Corporation.
It is an artificial being created by operation of law, having the rights of
succession and the powers, attributes and properties expressly authorized
by law or incident to its existence.

ACTIVITIES PERFORMED BY BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS


Service companies - performed service for a fee (e.g., law firms, accounting
and audit firms, stock brokerage, beauty salons and recruitment agencies).
 Merchandising companies - purchase goods that are ready for sale and
then sell these to customers.
Manufacturing companies - buy raw materials, convert them into
products and then sell the products to other companies or to final
consumers.

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
Entity Concept .
It is the most basic concept in accounting. An accounting entity is an
organization or a section of an organization that stands apart from other
organizations and individuals as a separate economic unit.
Periodicity Concept.
An entity’s life can be meaningfully subdivided into equal time periods
for reporting purposes. This concept allows the users to obtain timely
information to serve as abasis on making decisions about future activities.
Stable Monetary Unit Concept.
The Philippine Peso is a reasonable unit of measure and that its
purchasing power is relatively stable

BASIC PRINCIPLES
Objectivity Principle .
Accounting records and statements are based on the most reliable data
available so that they will be as accurate and as useful as possible. Reliable
data are verifiable when independent observers can confirm them.

Historical Cost .
This principle states that acquired assets should be recorded at their
actual cost and not at what management thinks they are worth as at
reporting date.
Revenue Recognition Principle.
Revenue is to be recognized in the accounting period when goods are
delivered or services are rendered or performed.
Expense Recognition Principle.
Expenses should be recognized in the accounting period in which goods
and services are used up to produce revenue and not when the entity pays
for those goods and services.
Adequate Disclosure.
Requires that all relevant information that would affect the user’s
understanding and assessment of the accounting entity be disclosed in the
financial statements
Consistency Principle. The firms should use the same accounting
method from period to period to achieve comparability over time within a
single enterprise.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-3


INTRODUCTION TO CHART OF ACCOUNT

Learning Objective:

After reading this information sheet, the student must be able to


prepare a Chart of Account for a certain company using the correct format.

Chart of accounts is a listing of all the accounts in the general ledger,


each account accompanied by a reference number. To set up a chart of
accounts, one first needs to define the various accounts to be used by the
business. Each account should have a number to identify it. For very small
businesses, three digits may suffice for the account number, though more
digits are highly desirable in order to allow for new accounts to be added as
the business grows. With more digits, new accounts can be added while
maintaining the logical order. Complex businesses may have thousands of
accounts and require longer account reference numbers. It is worthwhile to
put thought into assigning the account numbers in a logical way, and to
follow any specific industry standards. An example of how the digits might
be coded is shown in this list:

Account Numbering

1000 - 1999: asset accounts


2000 - 2999: liability accounts
3000 - 3999: equity accounts
4000 - 4999: revenue accounts
5000 - 5999: cost of goods sold
6000 - 6999: expense accounts
Date Developed: Document No. TIS-BK3-01
JUNE 2021 Issued by:
Bookkeeping NC III Date Revised:

Journalizing TIS
Developed by:
Transactions TIS
Revision
7000 - 7999: other revenue (for example, interest income)
8000 -8999: other expense (for example, income taxes)

By separating each account by several numbers, many new


accounts can beaded between any two while maintaining the logical order.

Defining Accounts

Different types of businesses will have different accounts. For example, to


report the cost of goods sold a manufacturing business will have accounts
for its various manufacturing costs whereas a retailer will have accounts
for the purchase of its stock merchandise. Many industry associations
publish recommended charts of accounts for their respective industries in
order to establish a consistent standard of comparison among firms in
their industry. Accounting software packages often come with a selection of
predefined account charts for various types of businesses. There is a trade-
off between simplicity and the ability to make historical comparisons.
Initially keeping the number of accounts to a minimum has the advantage
of making the accounting system simple. Starting with a small number of
accounts, as certain accounts acquired significant balances they would be
split into smaller, more specific accounts. However, following this strategy
makes it more difficult to generate consistent historical comparisons. For
example, if the accounting system is set up with a miscellaneous expense
account that later is broken into more detailed accounts, it then would be
difficult to compare those detailed expenses with past expenses of the same
type. In this respect, there is an advantage inorganizing the chart of
accounts with a higher initial level of detail. Some accounts must be
included due to tax reporting requirements.

Other accounts should be set up according to vendor. If the


business has more than one checking account, for example, the chart of
accounts might include an account for each of them.

Order Balance sheet accounts tend to follow a standard that lists the most
liquid assets first. Revenue and expense accounts tend to follow the
standard of first listing the items most closely related to the operations of
the business. For example, sales would be listed before non-operating
income. In some cases, part or all of the expense accounts simply are listed
in alphabetical order.

How to Set Up a Chart of Accounts

Set up a chart of accounts as one of the first steps in beginning a new


business . A chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts in a general
ledger, and it usually includes reference numbers to help classify the
accounts by type. The chart organizes and tracks all of the business
activities and makes it possible to generate reports in a logical sequence to
track the financial history and progress of the business. Here's how to set
up a basic chart of accounts.
Instructions
1.Organize the business by classifying the items into what the business
owns (assets), what the business owes (liabilities), the value of the business

to the owners (equity), business income (revenues) and what the business
spends to provide the income (expenses.)
2.Give each asset account a unique name, such as cash-checking, cash-
savings, accounts receivable, inventory, investments and fixed (or
depreciable) assets. Assign sequential numbers to these accounts from 1000
to 1999. The range of the account numbers allows the addition of new
account names and numbers as the business expands.
3.Name each liability account with a unique name, such as accounts
payable, notes payable, loans payable, wages payable, and payroll taxes
payable to track any amounts the business owes to others. These may be
further divided into short term liabilities (amounts due to be paid within one
business year or less) and long - term liabilities (amounts due to be paid
later than one business year). Assign sequential numbers to these accounts
from 2000 to 2999.
4.Classify each equity account with a unique name. These include common
stock, paid-in capital and retained earnings (if the business is a corporation)
partner distributions and partners' equity (if it's a partnership ), and
members' equity (if it's an LLC). Assign sequential numbers to these
accounts from 3000 to 3999.
5.Assign unique names to each revenue account, such as sales, commission
income, rent income and other income. Assign account numbers from 4000
to 4999 to these accounts. Revenue accounts track all the income the
business brings in during the year.
6. Determine all of the costs of doing business within one business year.
These are the expenses of the business, and they are segregated according
how they are related to the production of income.
For example, cost of goods sold accounts relate to manufacturing products,
producing services and purchasing inventory. Number these accounts from
5000 to 5999.
General expenses, including office expenses, advertising, accounting and
legal expenses get numbers from 6000 to 6999, and wages and payroll
expenses get numbers from7000 to 7999.
7.Segregate any revenue and expenses which are not part of the normal
course of the company's main business. This category might include Income
from such activities as interest income from notes receivable or gain or loss
from the sale of business assets. Similarly, there maybe expenses that are
not related to the production of the company's products or services, such as

income tax expense or mortgage expense. Number these accounts 8000 to
8999.
