Accounting Concepts

Muhtasari

Every set of financial statements is built on a shared set of rules that accountants agree to follow, even when nobody is watching. These rules are not laws written by a government; they are conventions that make one business's accounts comparable with another's, and comparable with its own accounts from last year. Without them, 'profit' could mean whatever a business wanted it to mean.

In this lesson you will learn the ten accounting concepts that underpin bookkeeping and financial reporting: business entity, going concern, accruals, consistency, prudence, materiality, historic cost, realisation, duality and money measurement. For each one you will see a concrete example of it being applied, or of what goes wrong when it is ignored.

Malengo

  1. Understand the significance of the following accounting concepts: consistency, prudence, accruals, materiality, money measurement and business entity

Maelezo ya Somo

Bookkeeping tells you how to record a transaction. Accounting concepts tell you why it is recorded that way. They are the underlying assumptions that give financial statements meaning, and every professional accountant applies them automatically, whether preparing accounts for a market trader or a multinational company. Ten concepts matter most for this specification, and it helps to think of them in four related groups: who and what is being accounted for, when income and expense are recognised, how much caution to apply, and how value is measured.
