Accrual Accounting Concepts

Accountants divide the economic life of a business


into reporting periods (PeriodicityAssumption).
Reports made every month, quarter, or year.
GAAP allows end of year to be:
- December 31 (calendar year-end company) or
- Other month end (fiscal year-end company)

Accounting
Accounting Method
Method .. .. .. .. ..
Determines which time period revenues and
expenses are recorded.

Example: Suppose that Chucks Painting Co. paints a large


building in 2013. It bills the customer $80,000, but
does not receive payment until 2014.
What
year would you record the revenue?
Suppose that in 2013 Chuck pays $50,000 cash for paint
and supplies. Half of these were used on the job above.
When and how much would you record as expense?

Two general methods exist:


Basis
- Accrual Basis

- Cash

CASH
CASH BASIS
BASIS Method
Method
Defined:
Record revenue when cash is received.
Record expense when cash is paid out.

Not GAAP -> We wont use in class.


Possible manipulation.
(Receipt or
payment of cash
can be controlled.)
Allowed for Income
Taxes
(sometimes).

ACCRUAL
ACCRUAL Method
Method
Defined:
Record revenues when earned.
(When
goods are sold or services performed)
Called Revenue Recognition Principle
Record expenses when incurred.
(When
they were used up to produce revenue) Called
Matching Principle.
GAAP -> We will concentrate on in class.
Requires adjustments and additional accounts.

Adjusting Journal
Journal Entries
Entries (AJE)
(AJE) .. .. .. .. ..
Are used to handle inter-period timing issues
Split up a revenue or expense (when needed)
and record part of it in one accounting period
and the rest of it in a later period.
In the previous example 1/2 of the paint and
supplies.
Getting revenues and expenses in the correct
accounting periods is referred to
as
achieving a proper Cut-Off
of the
accounting period.
