PERIODICITY CONCEPT
To provide timely information, accountants have divided the economic life of a business into
artificial time periods. This assumption is referred to as the periodicity concept.
Accounting periods are generally a month, a quarter or a year. The most basic accounting period
is one year. Entities differ in their choice of the accounting year – fiscal, calendar or natural. A
fiscal year is a period of any twelve consecutive months (ex. August 1, 2020-July 31, 2021). A
calendar year is an annual period that starts on January 1 and ending on December 31. A
natural business year is a twelve-month period that ends when business activities are at their
lowest level of the annual cycle. A period of less than one year is an interim period.
The periodicity concept ensures that accounting information is reported at regular intervals. To
measure profit in a fair manner, entities update the income and expense accounts immediately
before the end of the period.
Expenses are recognized in the income statement when it is probable that a decrease in future
economic benefits related to a decrease in asset or an increase of a liability has arisen, and that
the decrease in economic benefits can be measured reliably.
In short, adjustments are needed to ensure that the revenue and expense recognition
principles are followed thus resulting in financial statements reporting the effects of all
transactions at the end of the period
Adjusting entries involve changing account balances at the end of the period from what is
the current balance of the account to what is the correct balance for financial reporting.
Without adjusting entries, financial statement may not fairly show the solvency of the
entity in the balance sheet and the profitability in the income statement.
While adjustments are made to recognize revenues and expenses in the period that these
have been earned and incurred respectively, each adjusting entry affects however, a
BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT (AN ASSET OR A LIABILITY ACCOUNT) AND AN
INCOME STATEMENT ACCOUNT (revenue/income or expense account).
1. Accruals
2. Deferrals
ACCRUALS:
1. An expense already incurred but not yet paid or unpaid. (Accrued Expenses or
Payables)
Example: Salaries incurred but not yet paid because payment is to be made
at the end of the covered period, electricity used but billing has not been
received from utility company.
2. Revenues already earned but payment has not yet been received or uncollected.
(Accrued Revenues or Receivables)
The entry will have an effect of increasing BOTH a balance sheet and an income
statement account
1. Accruing expenses to reflect expenses incurred during the accounting period that are
UNPAID AND UNRECORDED
2. Accruing revenues to reflect revenues earned during the accounting period that are
UNCOLLECTED AND UNRECORDED.
DEFERRALS:
This adjustment deals with an amount already RECORDED in a balance sheet account
(Prepayment-Current Asset or Unearned Revenue-Current Liability)
1. Allocating assets to expense to reflect expenses incurred during the accounting period
(e.g. prepaid insurance over the covered period, supplies when used and depreciation over
the life of the asset)
2. Allocating revenues received in advance to revenue to reflect revenues earned during the
accounting period (e.g. subscriptions, airplane fares, etc.)
Entities often make expenditures that benefit more than one period.
1. PREPAID EXPENSES
PREPAID EXPENSES
These are recorded as asset and not as an expense as it benefits future period(s).
At the end of the accounting period, a portion or all these prepayments may have
expired or already benefited the current period.
Prepaid expenses expire either with the passage of time or through use and
consumption.
• If adjustments for prepaid expenses are not made at the end of the period, both the
balance sheet and income statement will be misstated.
• ASSETS WILL BE OVERSTATED & EXPENSES UNDERSTATED.
• OWNER’S EQUITY IN THE BALANCE SHEET AND REVENUES IN THE INCOME
STATEMENT WILL BE OVERSTATED.
Proper accounting requires the allocation of the cost of the asset over its estimated
useful life (EUL).
1. Asset Cost
- It is the amount that an entity paid to acquire the depreciable asset. -
Generally, the acquisition cost (historical cost)

THE WORKSHEET
Accountants often use the worksheet to help transfer data from the unadjusted trial
balance to the financial statements. This multi-column document provides an efficient way to
summarize the data for financial statements. The accountant generally prepares a worksheet
when it is time to adjust the accounts and prepare the financial statements. However, it is
possible to prepare the financial statements directly from the adjusted trial balance at the end of
the accounting period if the business has relatively few accounts.
The worksheet is not part of the ledger or the journal, nor is it a financial statement. It is a
summary device used by the accountants for his convenience.
Step 2 Enter the adjusting entries in the adjustments columns and total the amounts
As each adjustment is entered, a letter is used to identify the debit entry and the
corresponding credit entry
Step 3 Compute each account’s adjusted balance by combining the unadjusted trial balance and
the adjustment figures. Enter the adjusted amounts in the adjusted trial balance columns. The
adjusted trial balance is prepared by combining horizontally, line by line, the amount of each
account in the unadjusted trial balance columns with the corresponding amounts in the
adjustment columns. This procedure is called cross-footing.
A simple convention to observe when extending amounts from the trial balance to the adjusted
trial balance follows:
Add when the type of adjustment (debit or credit) is the same as the unadjusted
balance.
Subtract when the type of adjustment (debit or credit) is different from the
unadjusted balance
Step 4 Extend the asset, liability and owner’s equity amounts from the adjusted trial balance
columns to the balance sheet columns. Extend the income and expense amounts to the
income statement columns. Total the statement columns.
Every account is either a balance sheet account or an income statement account.
Asset, liability capital, and withdrawal accounts are extended to the balance
sheet columns. income and expense accounts are moved to the income statement
columns.
Debits in the adjusted trial balance remain as debits in the statement columns while
credits as credits.
Step 5 Compute profit or loss as the difference between total revenues and total expenses in the
income statement. Enter profit or loss as a balancing amount in the income statement and in the
balance sheet and compute the final column totals.
Profit or loss is the difference between the debit and credit columns of the income
statement. The profit or loss should always be the amount by which the debit and
credit columns for income statement, and the debit and credit columns for balance
sheet differ.
There are questions that the owner of the business periodically asks – How much did the
business entity earn? What is the financial condition of the business? How much is the owner’s
interest in the entity today? What happened to the cash receipts? Where did cash go? Investors,
creditors, taxing authorities and other users have their own questions about the business which
need to be answered.
The financial statements are the means by which the information accumulated and
processed in financial accounting is periodically communicated to the users. Without accounting
information embodied in financial statements, users may not be able to arrive at sound economic
decisions. The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows of the entity that is useful to a wide range of
users in making economic decisions.
Income Statement
The income statement is a formal statement showing the performance of the enterprise
for a given period of time. It summarizes the revenues earned and expenses incurred for that
period of time. The income statement for Del Mundo Landscape Specialist (refer to Excel File) is
prepared directly from the income statement columns of the worksheet.

In the case of sole proprietorships, increases in owner’s equity arise from additional
investments by the owner and profit during the period. Decreases result from withdrawals by the
owner and from loss for the period.

Balance Sheet
The balance sheet is a statement that shows the financial position or condition of an entity
by listing the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity as at a specific date. This statement is also
called the statement of financial position.
Users of financial statements analyze the balance sheet to evaluate an entity’s liquidity,
its financial flexibility, and its ability to generate profits, and its solvency.
