FINANCE TERMS
1. Going concern assumption - An accounting guideline which allows the readers of financial
statements to assume that the company will continue on long enough to carry out its objectives
and commitments. In other words, the accountants believe that the company will not liquidate
in the near future. This assumption also provides some justification for accountants to follow the
cost principle.
2. Accrual accounting - is one of two accounting methods; the other is cash accounting. Accrual
accounting measures a company's performance and position by recognizing economic events
regardless of when cash transactions occur, whereas cash accounting only records transaction
when payment occurs.
3. Offsetting principle - is another term for netting. With offsetting, you show your company's
assets and liabilities on the balance sheet on a net basis. In offset accounting, you decrease the
total, or net, of a different account balance to create a net balance.
4. Liquidity status - refers to the ease with which an asset, or security, can be converted into ready
cash without affecting its market price. Cash is the most liquid of assets while tangible items are
less liquid and the two main types of liquidity include market liquidity and accounting liquidity.
The liquidity position is the difference between the sum of liquid assets and incoming cash flows
on one side and outgoing cash flows resulting from commitments on the other side, measured
over a defined period, being the measure of the liquidity risk.
5. Solvency - is the ability of a company to meet its long-term debts and other financial
obligations. Solvency is one measure of a company's financial health, since it demonstrates a
company's ability to manage operations into the foreseeable future. Investors can use ratios to
analyze a company's solvency.
6. Financial structure - refers to the mix of debt and equity that a company uses to finance its
operations. This composition directly affects the risk and value of the associated business. The
financial managers of the business have the responsibility of deciding the best mixture of debt
and equity for optimizing the financial structure.
7. Sinking fund - is an account that is used to deposit and save money to repay a debt or replace a
wasting asset in the future. In other words, it's like a savings account that you deposit money in
regularly and can only be used for a set purpose.
8. Return on investment - measures the ability of an investment to generate income. The ratio is
used to compare alternative investment choices, as well as to determine if an existing
investment represents an efficient use of resources. This is one of the most popular investor
measurements, given the easy availability of the required information and the simplicity of the
formula.
9. Amortization - is an accounting technique used to periodically lower the book value of a loan or
intangible asset over a set period of time. In relation to a loan, amortization focuses on
spreading out loan payments over time. When applied to an asset, amortization is similar to
depreciation.
10. Share capital - is the portion of a corporation's equity that has been obtained by the issue of
shares in the corporation to a shareholder, usually for cash. "Share capital" may also denote the
number and types of shares that compose a corporation's share structure.
