Accounting is all about debit or credit, income or expenditure, asset or liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we talk about the proper definition of accounting,&#8221; it is a process of recording, summarizing, analyzing, and reporting the business-related financial transactions&#8221;. It defines the proper way to organize records and report transactions to the management team and other parties. It is helpful for the tracking of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and equity. If one wants to indulge in the business world, he or she should know the basic concepts of accounting, which we will discuss later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost everyone is familiar with accounting on a personal and professional level. On a personal level, people use accounting to maintain their budget, expenses, and income records. However, on a professional level, business endeavors use the accounting process to analyze its income and expenses, determine a company&#8217;s financial position, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><br><strong>Note-<\/strong>Scope and methods of accounting can differ from entity to entity.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-you-understand-about-accounting-concepts\"><\/span><strong>What do you understand about Accounting Concepts?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accounting concepts usually adopt principles that form the basis of preparation of universal forms of financial statements regularly. In other words, accounting concepts are the fundamental rules, predictions, and conditions which define the parameters and limitations within the accounting operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-the-objectives-of-accounting\"><\/span><strong>What are the Objectives of Accounting?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we are listing some aims or objectives to accounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The prime objective is to achieve stability and eternity in the financial statement maintenance and preparation.<\/li><li>It helps the accountants to prepare and maintain the business records because it acts as a fundamental principle.<\/li><li>It focuses on achieving a general understanding of rules or predictions to be followed by all entities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"major-concepts-of-accounting\"><\/span><strong>Major Concepts of Accounting-<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the list of major accounting concepts-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-business-entity\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Business Entity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The businessmen and his or her possession (organization\/company)are separate titles as per the business entity concept. To put it more simply, Mr. Bajaj and his online trading company both are different units.In this concept if a businessman invests money\/capital in his organization,the liability of the business will rise in the form of capital and this company is liable to pay it back to the owner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-money-measurement\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Money Measurement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to this concept, if the stock has its monetary value\/cash rather than quantity, in the accounting record we can reserve these transactions easily. For example, we have to figure and reserve the value of the below stock items-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>T-Shirt Rs 2,000\/-<\/li><li>Trouser Rs 4,000\/-<\/li><li>Blazer Rs 5,000\/-<\/li><li>Jackets 200 pieces<\/li><li>Inner wears 300 pieces<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"calculate-what-the-value-of-the-stock-is\"><\/span><strong>Calculate what the value of the Stock is?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, if we intend to arrange&nbsp; the value of Stock in our record, we should have the value of jackets and inner wear in cash. Now consider the values of&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Jackets Rs 30000\/-<\/li><li>Inner Wears Rs 20,000\/-&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the value of stock is Rs 61,000\/- (2000+ 4000+ 5000+30,000+20,000) and we can arrange it in our records easily. Quantitative records should be kept separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"also-read\"><\/span><strong>Also Read<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/statanalytica.com\/blog\/importance-of-accounting\/\">Key importance of accounting<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/statanalytica.com\/blog\/uses-of-accounting\/\">What are the uses of accounting<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/statanalytica.com\/blog\/branches-of-accounting\/\">What are the branches of accounting <\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-going-concern\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Going Concern<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accounting is based on the prediction\/assumption that a business is a going concern not&nbsp; a gone concern. In simple words, it is expected that a company will continue to operate for a long time period with its dedication and responsibilities. Accounting assumes that there is no need to quit the business operations of any organization. The going concern concept does not work in the following situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When an organization is mentioned as non-functioning.<\/li><li>On the time of organization will terminate,&nbsp;<\/li><li>When a business endeavor is facing a financial crisis and decides to dissolve..<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-cost\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Cost<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This concept is based on the Going Concern Concept. We record the value of assets on the basis of cost rather than the net achievable value or market value on the prediction that a business is running or going concern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undoubtedly we decrease the value of assets giving depreciation to assets, but we avoid the market value of investments. When we consider the net achievable value\/market value, this concept curtails any manipulation. If we talk about its drawback cost concept, overlook the inflation impacts in the market, that can be high sometimes. Nevertheless, the concept is worldwide accepted on behalf of that we do the accounting of a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dual-aspect-concept\"><\/span><strong>Dual Aspect Concept<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There must be a double entry to complete any financial transaction, which means debit should always be equal to the credit. Hence, every financial transaction has its dual\/two aspect-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We get\/purchase something for profit&nbsp;<\/li><li>We pay\/provide services&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if we buy some stock, then it will have two effects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The stock value will get higher<\/li><li>It will increase our accountability in the form of creditors.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Accounting Equation is based on this concept.Assets=Equities (liabilities+capital).<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At every step of operation, the assets of any company should be equal to its equities in terms of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-accounting-period\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Accounting Period<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An accounting period is the time duration of one year, when we evaluate the net profit\/loss, position of a company with the help of a balance sheet. This balance is prepared at the end of the year. This accounting period aims to take the various measures on previous experiences, taxation, and curb the seasonal changes impacts on the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This concept is useful in the bifurcation of revenue expenditure and capital expenditure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revenues expenditure is debited to the profit and loss account to calculate the net profit and loss in an accounting period. Whereas capital expenditure comes in those expenses. The advantages will be used in the further accounting periods. The accounting period is helpful to discover the position of the firm at a consistent period or at the end of every accounting period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-matching\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Matching<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This concept is related to the concept of the accounting period. In order to determine the net profit\/loss of the Company for an accounting period. We match the expenditure of the organization with the revenue of the same accounting period. This matching practice is accepted worldwide. Let\u2019s understand this concept with the help of an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the data of a XYZ Company of the years from 01-04-2016 to 31-03-2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>S.No.<\/strong><br>1<br>2<br><br>3<br>4<br>5<br>6<br>7<br>8<\/td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Particulars<\/strong><br>500 PVC pipes @ Rs 200 per pipe are sold on a cash basis.&nbsp;100 PVC pipes @ Rs 200 per pipe sold on credit to M\/s ABC traders<br>&nbsp;300 sanitary taps @ Rs 100 per piece are sold on cash basisPurchase made from M\/s Aman traders (any company) Ltd.<br>Cash paid to M\/s Aman traders Ltd.<br>Transport\/delivery charges paid on purchases<br>Electricity expenses of company paid<br>Bill for march 2017 for electricity still pending and to be paid next year<\/td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>&nbsp;Amount<\/strong><br>10,0000<br>20,000<br><br>30,000<br>50,000<br>40,000<br>2,000<br>10,000<br>2,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So on the basis of this data the profit or loss the any Company can be evaluate as-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Particulars<\/strong><br><strong>Sale<\/strong><br><strong>Pipes<\/strong><br><strong>Sanitary Taps<\/strong><br><strong>Less<\/strong><br><strong>Purchases<\/strong><strong>Transport Charges<\/strong><strong>Electricity charges<\/strong><strong>Pending expenses<\/strong><br><strong>Net Profit<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Amount<\/strong><br><br>1,20,000<br><br>30,000<br><br><br>50,0002,00010,0002,000<\/td><td><strong>Total<\/strong><br><br><br><br><br>1,50,000<br><br><br><br><br><br>64,000<br><strong>86,000<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, to match expenditures and revenues during the accounting period 2016 to 2017 we added the credit purchases and the pending expenses of this accounting year to find out the net profit for this period. It implies that the collection of cash and payment in cash is avoided while measuring the profit or loss of this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-accrual\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Accrual<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we saw earlier in the matching concept, the revenue and expenditure of the same accounting period are included. In the Accrual concept, if we sell some items or we provide some service, then it becomes our point of revenue generation regardless of cash receiving or not. The same applies to the expenses scenario.&nbsp; We&nbsp; consider paid in cash or payable expenses and ignore or deduct the advance payment regarding costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"concept-of-objective-evidence-concept\"><\/span><strong>Concept of Objective Evidence Concept<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some objective evidence should carry every financial entry as per the concept of objective evidence. The purchase should be carried by purchase bills, sale with sale bills, cash payment with cash memos, payment to creditors with cash receipts, and bank statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Likewise, there is a need to verify the Stock physically and its value with purchase bills. If these points are missing, the result of accounting will not be accurate or trustworthy. The financial statements will not be reliable due to the high manipulation of records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we have discussed various concepts of accounting which we use to frame financial decisions.
