Concept in Bookkeeper and an Accountant
The terms Bookkeeper and Accountant can be used interchangeably to a certain degree,
so let us focus on the literal job roles.
Bookkeeper
- A bookkeeper is a person without a college degree in accounting, who performs much
of the data entry tasks, includes entering the:
*Bills from the Suppliers * Preparing Sales Invoices
*Paying Bills *Mailing Statement to Customers etc.
*Processing Payroll Data
- Many bookkeepers start acting as a data-entry clerk or entry-level bookkeeper for a
business.
- They grow, through experience and merit, into being a go-to person for the day-to-day
financial recording
- The term bookkeeper is literal: the bookkeeper keeps the book and retains
documentation for transactions.
Accountant
- An accountant is likely to have a college degree with a major in accounting and takes
over where the bookkeeper leaves off.
- An accountant may focus on reporting, business analysis and processes, and possibly
advice.
- The accountant will prepare adjusting entries to record expenses that occurred but are
not yet entered by the bookkeeper.
Examples:
Includes interest on bank loans since the last loan payment, wages earned by employees
that will processed next week, etc. Other adjustment to accounts includes the calculation and
recording of depreciation, establishing allowances for uncollectible accounts, etc. After making
the adjusting entries, the accountant prepares the company’s financial statements (income
statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows). The accountant also assists the company’s
management to understand the financial impact of its past and future decisions.
SAVED!!!
“An experienced or certified bookkeeper may eventually move into being an
ACCOUNTANT”
“Many times a bookkeeper and accountant work in tandem”
with the bookkeeper operating as “Feet on the ground professional”
promoting a stronger relationship between an accountant and a business owner.

- Remember, the trial balance is a list of all accounts and their balances after adjustment
have been made.
- This trial balance is prepared to check and make sure that debits and credits equal
after adjusting entries are made.
*Income Statement
*Balance Sheet
- This order is important because information provided in the income statement is used
in the statement of retained earnings, and information from the statement of retained earnings
is used in the balance sheet.
- “This is still the responsibility of the bookkeeper who is now getting the book ready
for the next year!”
- Closing entries are prepared after the financial statements are completed.
- The purpose of this is to prepare the accounts for recording transactions and events
for the next period.
Remember:
For many companies the last step in accounting cycle is to prepare a post-closing trial
balance.
A post-closing trial balance should only contain the debit and credit balance for
permanent accounts, because these are the only accounts that are remaining after the
closing process.
The purpose of this trial balance is to ensure that the debits equal the credits and that
all temporary accounts have a zero balance.
- For many companies step 9 is the last step in accounting cycle since the company is
now ready to start the new accounting period. However, some companies, complete one more
step in accounting cycle, step 10 or reversing entries.
Summary:
The bookkeeper takes the lead role in each step of the accounting cycle.
Nothing was actually mentioned about what the accountant should do in each of the step.
That is how important role as a bookkeeper.
- It takes the book that bookkeeper prepared, review them, perform business analysis,
advises and makes recommendations based on what you have prepared.
-That is how vital the role of a bookkeeper is in relation to that business and to the
function of an accountant.
Types of Business Organization:
1. Sole-Proprietorship
- The owner absorbs all losses and is solely responsible for all debts of the company.
2. Partnership
3. Corporation
- An artificial entity 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.
- In a corporation, the business entity remains separate from the owners in legal and
financial matters.
1. Financing Activities

Lesson 2:
Journalizing Transaction
Chart of Account
- The accounts included in the chart of account must be used consistently to prevent
clerical and technical errors in the accounting system.
Take note!!!
There is no standard chart of accounts because its contents depend upon the need of the
company using it.
1. Account
2. Type
- List the type of account (asset, liability, equity, income, cost of goods sold and
expenses)
3. Description
- Contain a description of the type of transaction that should be recorded in the account.
Many companies assign number to the accounts, to be used for coding charges. If
your company is using a computerized system, the computers automatically assign the
account number. Otherwise, you need to plan out your own numbering system.
*Classification of Accounts*
This numbering system matches that one used by computerized accounting system,
making it easy for a company transition if at some future time it decides to automate its book
using a computerized accounting system.

Assessment:
1. Set up a chart of accounts for Laine Business Consultancy by arranging the accounts in the
order in which they would appear in the chart. Assign each account a number, using a three-
digit numbering scheme: the 100 series for assets, the 200 series for liabilities, etc. Use the
second digit to indicate specific account within the major category. For example, Cash would
be account number 110.
Patrizia Laine organized a new business and named it Laine Business Consultancy. Listed
below are the accounts that will be needed in the ledger.

Business Transaction
-Is an activity or event that can be measured in terms of money and which affect the
financial position or operation of the business entity.
- In other words, it has an effect on any of the accounting elements:
*Assets *Income
*Liabilities *Expense
*Capital
Thus, a business transaction must have the following characteristic:
1. It must be a transaction involving the business entity.
- Means that there must be a separation between the operation of the business and of its
owners and must be clearly established.
Business Transaction
- A money that you use is in your business cash.
- If you used your personal money to buy something that’s not being consider as business
transaction.
2. It must be of Financial Character.
- Means a certain amount of money must be assigned to the elements or accounts
affected.
- In short, it must have an effect on the Basic Accounting Equation.
3. It must have a dual or “two-fold” effect on the accounting elements.
- Every transaction has a dual or two-fold effect.
- For every value received, there is a value given. Or for every debt, there is a credit.
- This is the concept of the double-entry accounting.
- You may refer to the discussion on the Basic Accounting Equation for more
illustrations and example to further understand this.
4. It must be supported by a source document.
- The source documents serve as bases in recording transaction in the journal.
- If the transaction has no sourced document it is not recognized as business transaction.
Basic Accounting Equation
- It is the unifying concept in accounting that shows the relationship between and among
accounting elements: assets, liabilities and capital.
When a business starts to operate, its resources (asset) come from two sources:
*Contribution by Owners.
*Resources Acquired from Creditors or Lender.
*Means that all assets initially come from liabilities obtained and owner’s contribution.
*This is the idea of Accounting Equation.
The Basic Accounting Equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital (Owner’s Equity)
- Company owns (assets) must always equal what it owes (liabilities) to its creditors
plus what it owes (owner’s equity) to the owner or owners.
Business Transaction
- Take place, the values of the accounting element change.
Accounting Equation
- At any rate, always stays in balance.
Every transaction has two-fold effect.
- Means that at least two accounts are affected.
Transaction 1:
Transaction Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Owner’s +100 000.00 = 0 + +100 000.00
Investment
Analysis: The transaction has a two-fold effect. Assets increased as a result of the increased in
cash. At the same time, capital increased due to the owner’s contribution. If you
remember, capital is increased by contribution of owner’s and income, and decreased
by withdrawals and expenses. No liability is affected, therefore, set at zero.
Transaction 2:
Transaction Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Owner’s 100 000.00 = 0 + +100 000.00
Investment
Loan from Bank 20 000.00 = 20 000.00 + 0
Analysis: In transaction 2, the company received cash. Thus, the value of total assets is
increased. At the same time, it incurred in an obligation to pay the bank. Therefore,
liabilities are increased. This liability should be recorded as loan payable.
Take note!!!
The accounting equation is still balanced.
Transaction 3:
Transaction Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Owner’s +100 000.00 = 0 + +100 000.00
Investment
Loan from Bank +20 000.00 = +20 000.00 + 0
Purchased +2 500.00 = 0 + 0
Weighing Scale -2 500.00
Analysis: The Company acquired a weighing scale, therefore, an increase in asset. But since the
Company used cash to pay for the weighing scale and other supplies. It also results in
decrease in assets.
Analysis: The asset “cash” is increased by Php50 000.00 and the owner’s equity is increased by
Php50 000.00. The business owes the owner Php50 000.00.
Transaction 2: The business purchases a computer, on credit, for Php12 500.00.
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
Analysis: The asset “computer” is increased by Php12 500.00 and the liability is also increased
by Php12 500.00 because the business owes the Php12 500.00.
Transaction 3: The business purchases office supplies using Php5 500.00 cash.
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
+Php5 500.00 = 0 + 0
-Php5 500.00
Analysis: The asset “office supplies” is increased by Php5 500.00 and the asset “cash” is
decreased by Php5 500.00.
Transaction 4: A business purchases a building for Php1 000 000.00 with a Php250 000.00
cash down payment and an outstanding loan of Php750 000.00.
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
+Php1 000 000.00 = +Php750 000.00 + 0
- Php250 000.00
Analysis: More than two accounts are affected by this transaction. The asset “building”
increases by Php1 000 000.00, the asset “cash” decreases by Php250 000.00, and the
liability “bank loan” increases by Php750 000.00. The net result is that both side of
the equation increase by Php750 000.00.
~As you can see, regardless of the transaction, the accounting equation must stay balanced~
Expanded Accounting Equation
- Breaks out the owner’s Equity section into two components:
*Revenues
*Expenses
Revenues
- What the business earns for providing goods or services.
Expenses
- The cost of assets the business uses to generate revenues (payroll, depreciation, rent,
utilities, and taxes.)
Profit or Loss = Revenues – Expenses
- In business, if the revenues are more than expenses, there is profit.
- In business, if the expenses are more than revenues, there is loss.
- The owner of the company also has the option to withdraw equity from the company in
the form of drawings (proprietorship and partnerships) or dividends (corporations).
When you look at these relationships to owner’s equity in terms of the accounting
equation, you see that:
Revenues increase Owner’s Equity.
Expenses decrease Owner’s Equity.
Drawings or Dividends decrease Owner’s Equity.
Expanded Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity + Revenues – Expenses – Drawings
Examples:
Transaction 5: The business sells goods for Php120 000.00 cash.
Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Analysis: The asset “cash” is increased by Php120 000.00 and the revenue increases
Transaction 6: The business pays its monthly rent of Php15 000.00 using a company
check.
Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Analysis: The asset “rent” increased by Php15 000.00 and the expense decreases owner’s
equity by Php15 000.00.
Transaction 7: The business owner withdraws Php20 000.00 for his personal use.
Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Analysis: The asset “cash” is decreased by Php20 000.00 and the drawing decreases
Accounting Cycle
- Is a sequence of procedures used to keep track of what has happened in the
business and to report the financial effect of those things.
- The financial reports will only make sense if the accounts have been:
*Analyzed Correctly
*The Accounting Equation remains balanced.
Step to analyze and record business transactions:
1. Determine the effect of the transaction on the financial statement of the company.
2. Determine the specific accounts affected and if the account is increased or
decreased.
3. Apply the rules of debit and credit to the transaction.
4. Record the transaction.

Based on your analysis on what should be credited or debited, fill up the simple journal
below including all the other information:
YYYY is year.
MMM is the first three letter of the month.
00 is day of the month.
Account Debited is amount increased or added.
Account Credited is expenses.
xxxx is the amount as indicated in the transaction.
Date
YYYY Particulars Debit Credit
MMM 00 Account Debited xxxx
Account Credited xxxx
Explanation:
Analyzing the above transaction, you will find out that there would be an increase in asset
account. (computer equipment) and a decrease in another asset account (cash) since SNM paid
for the equipment.
You should therefore increase the asset account by debiting the computer equipment and
decrease cash by crediting it.
Looking at the chart, you see that asset and expense account have balance increases when
they are debited and balance decreases when they are credited. In direct contrast, liability,
stockholder’s equity and revenue accounts have balance decreases when they are debited and
balance increases when they are credited. These are very important points to know when
recording transaction.
After analyzing and preparing the business documents, the transaction are then recorded in
the journal. A journal, also known as The Book of Original Entry, keeps record of transaction
in chronological order. In Double Entry Accounting, transaction are recorded in the journal
through journal entries.

5. After each completed journal entry, a space is provided to record the next transaction.
6. The Posting Reference (PR) Column is referred to as the reference and this is used to signify
that the journal entries were posted to the ledger using a reference number.
Explanation:
In the above example, computer equipment is an asset account. To increase the asset account,
you debit it. Cash is also an asset account, however, since there is a decrease in cash because we
paid for the computer, so we credit it.
When there is only one account debited and one credited, it is called a “Simple Journal
Entry.” There are however instances when more than one account is debited or credited, it is
called “Compound Entries.”
Transaction:
On March 17, 2015, SNM Enterprises purchased computer equipment for its main office at
PhpP12,000.00 cash and the balance is payable within 30 days.
Journal Entry would be:

In addition, the company incurred an obligation to pay Php8 000.00 after 30 days. The
liability of the company increased. When you increase liabilities, you credit it.
Note:
Total amount of debited should be equal to the total amount credited.
Key Points to Remember:
Double Entry Accounting System and The Rules for Debit and Credit
All accounts are assigned a “normal” balance base on the type of account you are working
with.
The normal balance of an account is its usual balance and is the side (debit or credit) that
increase the account. An account has either credit or debit normal balance. To increase the value
of an account with normal balance of credit, one would credit the account. To increase the value
of an account with normal balance of debit, one would likewise debit the account.
Normal
NormalBalance
Normal Balance
The account on left side of this equation has a normal balance of debit. The account on
right side of this equation have a normal balance of debit.
Examples:
The transaction here pertain to Jewel Network Services, a small sole proprietorship
business.
Transaction No. 1
On March 1, 2015, Mr. Ivan started Jewel Network Services, he invested Php100 000.00
cash. The journal entry should increase the company cash and increase the capital account of Mr.
Ivan.

Transaction No. 3
On March 6, the company acquired tables, chairs, shelves and other fixtures for a total of
Php6 000.00. The entire amount was paid in cash.

To record purchase of furniture
and fixtures
Transaction No. 4
On March 7, the company acquired service equipment at Php16 000.00. The company
paid 50% down payment and the balance will be paid after 60 days.

account (debit service equipment, Php16 000.00) a decrease in another asset account (credit
cash, Php8 000.00 – the amount paid) and an increase in a liability account (credit accounts
payable, Php8 000 – the balance to be paid after 60 days).
Cash 8 000.00
Transaction No. 5
Also on March 7, the company purchase serviced supplies on account amounting to Php3
000.00.
The company received supplies thus will record a debit to increase supplies. By the
terms “on account”, it means that the amount has not yet been paid, and so, recorded as a
liability of the company.
Transaction No. 6
On March 9, the company received Php2 000.00 for services rendered. You will therefore
record on increase in cash (debit the cash account) and increase in income (credit the income
account).
Transaction No. 7
On March 12, the company rendered services on account, Php3 950.00. As per agreement
with the customer, the amount is to be collected after 5 days.

Rendered services to a big corporation on March 15.As per agreement the Php3 400.00
amount due will be collected after 30 days.

On March 20, the company paid some of its liability in transaction #5 by issuing a check.
The company paid Php1 000.00 of the Php3 000.00 payable.
To record this transaction, you will debit accounts payable for Php1 000.00 to decrease it
by that amount. Then, you will credit cash to decrease it as a result of the payment. The entry
would be:

Lesson 3:
Posting Transaction
The fourth step in accounting cycle is to post the journal entries to the ledger.
Posting
Refers to transferring the entries in the journal into the accounts in the ledger.
Posting to the ledger is actually the classifying phase of accounting.
Cross Indexing
It is the plowing of the account number of the ledger account in the general journal page
number in the ledger account.
Ledger (Book of Final Entry)
Refers to books that consist of all accounts used by the company. The debits and credit to
each and the resulting balance. Thus, the Chart of Accounts should be your reference.
Ledger is a list down transaction chronologically by account title according to the Chart
of Accounts.
Take Note!!!!
The simpler form of a ledger is the “T-account” because of the letter T that is formed
when preparing entry in the ledger.
It is the basis for the journal entry in accounting.
T-accounts have three basic elements:
The account name
A left side (Debit)
A right side (Credit)
Account Name
Debit Credit
General Ledger
Is the basic record for accounting.
It will be the core of any company record-keeping system.
It is a go-to document where you can determine the fiscal health of your company.
It will serve as a record (permanently) for a company.
When you need to create a balance sheet, most of the information you will need to do
this will be found in the general ledger.
It is consist of every account from your chart of accounts.
It is also a key in creating your company’s balance sheet and income statement for each
month.
General Ledger tracks five categories:
Asset
Liabilities
Owner’s Equity
Revenue
Expenses
Take Note!!!!!
It is important to note that may have many different journal is that track different
amounts in your business, each journal record transactions.
Example:
*Sales Journal
*Cash Disbursement Journal
*Purchases Journal
*Receipts Journal
You will take the information from these journals and place the information into your
general ledger.
Once you have opened a ledger, it is important to maintain the accounting cycle. The
accounting cycle includes the following steps:
1. Record all business transactions in the appropriate journals – update this daily.
2. Ensure all the debits and credits are posted to the general ledger.
3. Make any adjustments for items such as bad debts or accrued interest into general ledger.
4. Once you’ve accounted for all revenue and expenses, you can post net profits in the
owner equity category.
5. Prepare any of your required of financial statement at the end of business periods.
Conclusion:
Keep current on the accounting cycle to make less work for you in the long run.
Every aspect of your business need to be recorded in order for it to be analyzed for
accuracy.

Worksheet (Spreadsheet)
It is a full picture of the posted transaction.
Specifically refer as the accounting worksheet.
Accounting Worksheet basically a spreadsheet that shows all of the major steps in
accounting side by side.
Spreadsheet typically has five set of column that start with the unadjusted trial balance
and ends with the financial statements.
It becomes tool for bookkeepers and accountants to complete the accounting cycle and
prepared year-end reports.
Each step list debit and credit with total calculated with the bottom.
Just like trial balance, the worksheet also has heading that consist of the: company name,
title of the report and time period the report documents.
2. Provide the following column in the worksheet which should have the following entries:
Unadjusted Income
Trial Balance Adjustment Balance Sheet
Trial Balance Statement
Account Debi
Title Debit Credit Debit Credit Debit Credit t Credit Debit Credit
The title and the balances of the accounts are copied directly from the ledger into the trial
balance columns. When a worksheet is prepared, a separate trial balance is not required.
However, if it has been prepared, the balances may be posted from it in the worksheet.
The same adjustments are entered in the adjustment columns of the worksheet. When all
the adjustment have been entered in the relevant debit and credit columns, the pair of adjustment
column must be added. This step proves that the debit and credit of the adjustment are equal and
generally reduces error in the preparation of the worksheet.
5. Enter The Account Balances As The Adjusted In The Adjusted Trial Balance Columns.
The adjusted trial balance is prepared by combining the amount of each accounts in the
original trial balance columns with the corresponding amounts in the adjustment column and
entering combine amount on a line by line basis in the adjusted trial balance columns. Adjusted
trial balance columns are then footed, that is totaled, to check the arithmetical accuracy.
6. Extend the Account Balance from the Adjusted Trial Balance Column to the Profit and
Lost Column or the Balance Sheet Columns.
Every account in the adjusted trial balance is either a balance sheet account or an income
statement account. The accounts are sorted, and each account is extended to its proper place as a
debit and credit either in the balance sheet columns or in the trading and profit & loss column.
Assets and liabilities as well as capital and drawing accounts are then extended to the balance
sheet columns. To avoid over-looking an account, extend the accounts line by line, beginning
with the first line (which is cash) and not omitting any.
7. Total the Income Statement Columns and the Balance Sheet Columns, then enter Net Income
or Net Loss in both pairs of Column as a Balancing Figure and Re-compute Column Totals:
Which Accounts Need to be Adjusted?
1. Adjustment for the Expiration or Prepayments of Expenses.
Prepaid expenses are expenses paid in advance. At the time of the payment, the account
is an asset and as it is used, it becomes an expense.
Example: On Oct. 1, 2015 E. Montes paid Php40 000.00 for a four-month rental of the
office.

Rent Income 15 000
Analysis:

period will be understated by Php15 000.00.
Assets which are relatively permanent in nature are fixed assets. They are used by the
business in its operation and are not intended to sale. The value of these assets decreases as time
passes by due to wear and tear from operation or inadequacy or obsolescence, except for land.
These are several ways to compute for depreciation but the simplest is the Straight Line
Method:
Example: Consider that the accounting period starts on January 1 and end in December 31.
On August 1, 2005, a service vehicle was purchased for Php80 000.00. The asset
is estimated to have 10 years of useful life. The asset is said to have a salvage
value of Php10 000.00.
Assets Cost Php80 000.00
Less: Estimated Salvage Value Php10 000.00
Depreciable Cost Php70 000.00
Divided by: Estimated Useful Life 10yrs
Depreciation Expense for each time period 7 000.00 / year
The annual depreciation of the service vehicle is Php7 000.00. To compute the depreciation from
August 1 to December 31, divide Php7 000.00 by 12months to get the monthly depreciation,
then multiply the monthly depreciation by 5months (August to December).

2. You can also take the unadjusted trial balance and simply add the adjustment to the account
that have been changed. This is usually done in smaller companies because every few accounts
will need to be altered.
Be careful to list only active account that will appear on the financial statement on the
trial balance. If an account has a zero balance, there is no need to list it on the trial balance.
The concept of Financial Report and the process of accounting cycle are focused on
providing external users with useful information in the form of financial statements. These
statements are end product of accounting system in any company. Basically, preparing these
statements is what all about.
When business enterprise presents all the relevant financial information in a structure and
easy way to understand manner, it is called Financial Statement.
Financial Statement Purpose: provide both business insider and outsider concise, clear
picture of the current financial status in the business. Therefore, the people who use the statement
must be confident in its accuracy.
Financial Statement how well a company has performed over the year and the level of
profit achieved. Investors and regulators may make decision in a small business based on the
information provided by financial statements. Financial statement must prepare sequenced
because the information in one is needed in next. Using trial balance, the company prepared the
financial statements.
Sequence:
* Income Statement
* Statement of Retained Earnings
* Balance Sheet
* Statement of Cash Flows
Income Statements
The income statement is a summary of a business income, expenses and profits. The
purpose of income statement is to report the company income and revenues for a year including,
net income.
An Income Statement covers a specified period of time. All item listed should relate to
that period of time. The time frame should be listed at the top of the income statement.
An Income Statement shows income and expenses. It does not show the money
received or paid. This is done using cash
- These are often divided into sales related and office/administration related. These
include items like: Salaries, Advertising, Rent, Utilities and Depreciation.
Examples:
- It is a report that explains the changes of a company’s equity throughout the reporting
period.
Examples:
- Formula of a balance sheet is accounting equation: liabilities plus equity equals assets.
- Balance list a total of all assets, including cash, accounts receivable, inventory and
fixed asset. Liabilities such as bank notes and accounts payable are listed. Along with the
owner’s capital invested.
- The last line of the balance sheet gives the total amount of liabilities and equity, which
must equal to the total assets.
* Investments
4. List your liabilities. In the second column, list your liability as well as their value. This is
everything that you owe. As you pay down debt, your liabilities decrease. These can include:
* Student Loans
* Auto Loans
* Mortgage Balance
5. Subtract your total liabilities from your total assets. This will give you your net worth.
Your net worth will go up as your asset increase and your liabilities decrease.
* Keep your balance sheet updated to track your progress towards your financial goals. Try to
recalculate at least twice a year.

Statement of Cash Flows
The statement of cash flow identifies changes in cash flow generated from:
1. Operating Activities are cash effects of transaction and other events that will
determine if the company will profit or have losses.
Cash inflows from operating activities are generally derived from receipts from sales
of goods and performance of service and receipts from royalties, fees, commission
and other revenues.
Cash outflow are derived from payment to supplier of goods and services, payment
to employees, payment for taxes, payment for interest expense, and payment for
other operating expense.
2. Investing Activities include making and collecting loans, acquiring and disposing of
investment in debts; and obtaining and selling of property and equipment and other
productive assets.
Cash inflow from investing activities derived from receipts from sale of property and
equipment, receipts sale of investment, receipts from collection on notes receivable.
Cash outflow are payment to acquire property and equipment, payment to acquired
debt, payment to make loan to others.
3. Financing Activities are activities which include obtaining resources from owners
and creditors.
Cash inflows from financing activities come from investments by owners and from
issuance of notes payable.
Cash outflows are payments to owners in the form of withdrawals and payments to
settle notes payable
These three activities, along with any non-cash investing and financing activities make up the
statement of cash flow. The statement of cash flow is used to measure a company’s financial
stability and its ability to pay its creditors.
Are these good or bad? How much does it matter if you do not reach agreement?
Does failure to reach an agreement cut you out of future opportunities?
And what alternatives might the other person have?
4. Relationship
What is the history of the relationship? Could or should this history impact the negotiation?
Will there be any hidden issues that may influence the negotiation? How will you handle these?
- Only consider win-lose negotiation if you don’t need to have an on-going relationship with
the other party as, having lost, they are unlikely to want to work with you again.
- For a negotiation to be win-win negotiation if both parties should feel positive about the
negotiation once it is over.
- This helps people keep good working relationship afterwards.
5. Expected Outcome
What outcome will people be expecting from this negotiation?
What has the outcome been in the past, and what precedents have been set?
6. The Consequences
What are the consequences for you of winning or losing this negotiation?
What are the consequences for the other person?
7. Power
Who has what power in the relationship? Who control resources?
What power does the other person have to deliver what you hope for?
Who stand to lose the most if agreement isn’t reached?
8. Possible Solution
- Base on all the considerations, what possible compromises might there be?
In any negotiation, the following three elements are important and likely to affect the
ultimate outcome of the negotiation:
1. Attitudes
- All negotiation is strongly influenced by underlying attitudes to the process itself.
For Example:
Attitudes to the issues and personalities involved in the particular case or attitudes linked to
personal needs for recognition. You must remember that a negotiation is not an arena for the
realization of individual achievement.
2. Knowledge
- The more knowledge you possess of the issues in question, the greater your
participation in the process of negotiation. In other words, good preparation is essential.
Therefore, you have to do your homework and gather as much information as you can about the
issues and how these can be negotiated.
3. Interpersonal Skills
- Needless to say, good interpersonal skills are essential for effective negotiation.
These include:
* Effective Verbal Communication
* Listening
* Reducing Misunderstanding
* Rapport Building
* Problem Solving
* Decision Making
* Assertiveness
* Dealing with Difficult Situation
We tend to share these extraordinary stories with others. We all know that the word of
mouth marketing can be absolute best advantage, or the worst drawback for a company. The
popular saying is still very, very true: “It takes 20 years to build reputation and five minutes to
ruin it.” If this is always remembered, you will do things differently.
