Chapter Outline

Learning Objective 1
Explain the accrual basis of
accounting and the reasons
for adjusting entries.
4
Time period (or periodicity) assumption
Accountants divide the

economic life of a business into
artificial time periods.

Fiscal and Calendar Years
• Accounting time periods are generally a month, a quarter, or a

year.
• Monthly and quarterly time periods are called interim periods.
• Most large companies must prepare both quarterly and annual
financial statements.

Fiscal and Calendar Years
• Fiscal Year = Accounting time period that is one year in length.

• Calendar Year = January 1 to December 31.
• Sometimes a company’s year-end will vary from year to year,
resulting in accounting periods of either 52 or 53 weeks.

Accrual- versus Cash-Basis Accounting
1. Accrual-Basis Accounting
• Transactions are recorded in the periods in which the events
occur.
• Recognize revenues when they perform services (rather than
when they receive cash).
• Recognize expenses when they incurred (rather than when paid).
• Accrual-basis accounting is in accordance with IFRS.

Accrual- versus Cash-Basis Accounting
2. Cash-Basis Accounting
• Revenues are recorded when cash is received.
• Expenses are recorded when cash is paid.
• Cash-basis accounting is not in accordance with IFRS.

Revenue Recognition Principle
When the company meets this performance
obligation, it recognizes revenue.
• The revenue recognition principle therefore
requires that companies recognize revenue in
the accounting period in which the
performance obligation is satisfied.
• Satisfies its performance obligation by
performing a service or providing a good to
a customer.

Five-Step Revenue
Recognition Process
ILLUSTRATION 3.1 Five steps of revenue recognition

Expense Recognition Principle
• Expense recognition is referred to as the
expense recognition principle.
• Recognize expenses in the period in which
they make efforts (consume assets or incur
liabilities) to generate revenue.
• Matching : indicate the relationship
between the effort expended and the
revenue generated.

Recognizing Revenues and Expenses
ILLUSTRATION 3.2 IFRS relationships in revenue and expense recognition

The Need for Adjusting Entries
• Adjusting entries ensure that the revenue recognition and expense
recognition principles are followed.
• Required every time a company prepares financial statements.
• Will include one income statement account and one statement of
financial position account.

The Need for Adjusting Entries
Why are adjusting entries required?
1. Some events are not recorded daily because it is not efficient to do so.
2. Some costs are not recorded during the accounting period because
these costs expire with the passage of time rather than as a result of
recurring daily transactions.
3. Some items may be unrecorded.

Types of Adjusting Entries
ILLUSTRATION 3.3 Categories of adjusting entries

Types of Adjusting Entries
Analyze each account to
determine whether it is
complete and up-to-date
for financial statement
purposes.
ILLUSTRATION 3.3 Trial balance

deferrals.
18
Adjusting Entries for Deferrals
Deferrals are expenses or revenues that are recognized at a date later than
the point when cash was originally exchanged.
There are two types:

• Prepaid expenses
• Unearned revenues.
Prepaid Expenses
• Prepaid expenses are costs that expire either with the passage of time
(e.g., rent and insurance) or through use (e.g., supplies).
• Prior to adjustment, assets are overstated and expenses are understated.
ILLUSTRATION 3.5 Adjusting entries for prepaid expenses

Supplies
• Rather than record supplies expense as

the supplies are used, companies
recognize supplies expense at the end
of the accounting period.

Supplies Adjustment Example
ILLUSTRATION 3.6 Adjustment for supplies

Insurance
• The cost of insurance paid in advance is recorded as an increase
(debit) in the asset account Prepaid Insurance.
• At the financial statement date, companies increase (debit)
Insurance Expense and decrease (credit) Prepaid Insurance for
the cost of insurance that has expired during the period.

Insurance Adjustment Example
ILLUSTRATION 3.7 Adjustment for insurance

Depreciation
• Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset to expense
over its useful life.
• Depreciation is an allocation concept, not a valuation concept.
• That is, depreciation allocates an asset’s cost to the periods in which it is
used.
• Depreciation does not attempt to report the actual change in the value of
the asset.

Depreciation Example
ILLUSTRATION 3.8 Adjustment for depreciation

Statement Presentation
• Use of a contra account to disclose both the cost of the equipment and
total cost expensed to date.
• Book value or carrying value: Difference between the cost of any
depreciable asset and its related accumulated depreciation.
ILLUSTRATION 3.9 Statement of financial position presentation of accumulated depreciation
1 Book value or carrying value: Difference between the cost of any depreciable asset
and its related accumulated depreciation.
Prepaid Expenses Summary
ILLUSTRATION 3.10 Accounting for prepaid expenses

Unearned Revenues
• When companies receive cash before services are performed, they
record a liability by increasing (crediting) a liability account called
unearned revenues.
• Prior to adjustment, liabilities are overstated and revenues are
understated.

Adjusting Entries for Accruals
Accruals are made to record the following:

• Revenues for services performed but not yet recorded at the
statement date – accrued revenues
• Expenses incurred but not yet paid or recorded at the statement
date – accrued expenses

Accrued Revenues
• Prior to adjustment, both assets and revenues are understated.
• An adjusting entry for accrued revenues results in an increase (a
debit) to an asset account and an increase (a credit) to a revenue
account.

• An adjusting entry for accrued expenses results in an increase (a
debit) to an expense account and an increase (a credit) to a liability
account.

and wages, after the services have been performed.

Accrued Expenses Summary
ILLUSTRATION 3.22 Accounting for accrued expenses

Adjusting Entries Reminders
1) Adjusting entries should not involve debits or credits to Cash.
2) Evaluate whether the adjustment makes sense. For example, an
adjustment to recognize supplies used should increase Supplies Expense.
3) Double-check all computations.
4) Each adjusting entry affects one statement of financial position account
and one income statement account.

Adjusted trial balance:

• Proves the equality of the total debit balances and the total
credit balances in the ledger after all adjustments.
• Primary basis for the preparation of financial statements.

Learning Objective *5
Prepare adjusting entries for
the alternative treatment of
deferrals.
53
Alternative Treatment of Deferrals
Alternative treatment:
1. When a company prepays an expense, it debits that amount to an

expense account.
2. When it receives payment for future services, it credits the amount

to a revenue account.

Qualities of Useful Information
The IASB developed a Conceptual Framework for Financial
Reporting.
• The primary objective of financial reporting is to provide financial
information that is useful to investors and creditors for making
decisions about providing capital.
• Useful information should possess two fundamental qualities,
relevance and faithful representation

Qualities of Useful Information
ILLUSTRATION 3B.1 Fundamental qualities of useful information

Enhancing Qualities
IASB also describes a number of enhancing qualities of useful information.
These include comparability, verifiability, timeliness, and understandability.
• Comparability results when different companies use the same accounting
principles.
• Consistency means that a company uses the same accounting principles and
methods from year to year.
• Information is verifiable if independent observers, using the same methods,
obtain similar results.
• For accounting information to have relevance, it must be timely.
• Information has the quality of understandability if it is presented in a clear and
concise fashion.
Assumptions in Financial Reporting
ILLUSTRATION 3B.2 Key assumptions in financial reporting

Assumptions in Financial Reporting
ILLUSTRATION 3B.2 Key assumptions in financial reporting

Principles in Financial Reporting
Measurement Bases
• IFRS generally uses one of two measurement bases

• The historical cost basis
• The current value basis
• Trade-offs between relevance and faithful representation.

Measurement Bases
Historical Cost Basis
• The historical cost basis dictates that companies record and continue
to report assets at their cost.
Current Value Basis
• The current value basis indicates that assets and liabilities should be
reported at current value.
• Current value information may be more useful than historical cost for
certain types of assets and liabilities.

Further Principles in Financial Reporting
Revenue Recognition Principle
• Requires that companies recognize revenue in the accounting period
in which the performance obligation is satisfied.
Expense Recognition Principle

• Dictates that companies recognize expense in the period in which
they make efforts to generate revenue. Thus, expenses follow
revenues.

Further Principles in Financial Reporting
Full Disclosure Principle
• Requires that companies disclose all circumstances and events that
would make a difference to financial statement users.
• If an important item cannot reasonably be reported directly in one of
the four types of financial statements, then it should be discussed in
notes that accompany the statements.

Cost Constraint
• It weighs the cost that companies will incur to provide the

information against the benefit that financial statement users will
gain from having the information available.

Compare the procedures
for adjusting entries
under IFRS and U.S.
GAAP.
71
A Look at U.S. GAAP
• Both the IASB and FASB have established and continue to
develop their conceptual frameworks that will enable companies
to better use the same principles to record transactions
consistently over time.

Key Points
• Both frameworks are designed to address a common set of issues including
the following.
• What is the primary objective of financial reporting?
• What are the qualitative characteristics that make accounting information useful?
• What are the elements that make up the financial statements?
• What basis should be used to measure and report?
• What criteria should be used to determine when revenue should be recognized and
when expenses have been incurred?
• What guidelines should be established for disclosing financial information?
• IASB and the FASB were working for a period of time to converge their
conceptual frameworks.
Similarities
• Like IFRS, companies applying GAAP use accrual-basis accounting
to ensure that they record transactions that change a company’s
financial statements in the period in which events occur.
• Similar to IFRS, cash-basis accounting is not in accordance with
GAAP.
• GAAP also divides the economic life of companies into artificial
time periods. Under both GAAP and IFRS, this is referred to as the
time period assumption. GAAP requires that companies present a
complete set of financial statements, including comparative
information annually.
Similarities
• The form and content of financial statements are very similar
under GAAP and IFRS. Any significant differences will be
discussed in those chapters that address specific financial
statements.
• Revenue recognition fraud is a major issue in U.S. financial
reporting. The same situation exists for most other countries as
well

Differences
• Prior to the issuance of a new joint revenue recognition standard by
the IASB and the FASB, GAAP had more than 100 rules dealing with
revenue recognition. Many of these rules were industry-specific.
Revenue recognition under IFRS was determined primarily by a single
standard, IAS 18. Despite this large disparity in the detailed guidance
devoted to revenue recognition, the general revenue recognition
principles required by IFRS were similar to those under GAAP.
• Internal controls are a system of checks and balances designed to
detect and prevent fraud and errors.

Differences
• Under IFRS, revaluation to fair value of items such as land and
buildings is permitted. This is not permitted under GAAP.
• Under IFRS, the term “income” includes both revenues, which arise
during the normal course of operating activities, and gains, which
arise from activities outside of the normal sales of goods and services.
The term income is not used this way under GAAP. Instead, under
GAAP income refers to the net difference between revenues and
expenses. Expenses under IFRS include both those costs incurred in
the normal course of operations, as well as losses that are not part of
normal operations. This is in contrast to GAAP, which defines each
separately.
