Book-Keeping ensures that the record of all the transactions is kept on a permanent
basis.
ii. Financial Information: Book-Keeping records the financial activities of a business. This
financial record helps in generating financial information of the business regarding the
Assets, Liabilities, Profit, Loss, Stock Investment etc.
iii. Decision Making: All the information provided by Book-Keeping helps the company,
business or businessman to make decisions for successful business operations.
iv. Controlling: Management uses the financial records of business to manage and control
the business operations in a smooth manner. Such financial records are available from
Book-Keeping.
v. Evidence: Book-Keeping records can be used as legal evidence in Courts as all the recorded
transactions of a business are recorded from source documents which act as evidence in
case of any disputes.
vi. Comparison: Record of transactions in the books of accounts helps businesses to compare
their financial positions year after year and with other business units.
vii. Tax Liability: Book-Keeping helps the businessman in ascertaining the amount payable
for Sales Tax, Property Tax, Income Tax etc.

UTILITY OF BOOK-KEEPING
Book-Keeping is vital for the below parties:
i. Owner: Book-Keeping helps to ascertain the financial information and
position of the business at any time. Financial information includes Profits,
Losses, Assets, Liabilities etc.
ii. The various Management functions such as Planning, Organising, Directing and
Controlling can be performed effectively and efficiently by the management based on
the records and reports available through Book-Keeping.
iii. Government: The various sources of information available through Book-Keeping facilitate
the Government and the Tax Authorities to ascertain the tax liabilities of the business.
iv. Investors: Investors are interested in the financial statements of a business before
investments are made. It provides them with assurance about the safety of their
investments.
v. Customers: Customers are assured about the financial capacity of the business as well
as the quality and quantity of goods supplied by the business, based on the information
available through Book- Keeping.
vi. Lenders: Book-Keeping provides financial information to the lenders enabling them to
judge the credit worthiness of the business thus, ensuring uninterrupted supply of funds.
vii. Employees: In every organisation employees usually have their association called trade
union to find out their problems. On the basis of information provided by the business
enterprises through their book-keeping records, the employee’s trade union justifies its
demand for wage hike. It also helps the trade union to ascertain whether wages, salaries,
various facilities, bonus, etc. given to the employees are fair and equitable or not.

basis of accounting, only cash transactions are recorded. This is a very popular form of

Accounting. In this method, an expense is recorded only when it is actually paid in cash.
Similarly, an income is booked only when it is actually received in cash. The specific reason of
the cash inflow or cash outflow is recorded with every transaction.
ii. Accrual Basis: (Mercantile Basis)

Both Cash and Credit transactions are recorded in this system of accounting. Here, transactions
are recorded as and when they occur. Incomes are recorded when they are earned, irrespective
of whether the cash has been received or not and Expenses are recorded when they become
payable, irrespective of whether they have been actually paid in cash or not. Accrual Basis of
QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION

Accounting information recorded in books of accounts must possess the below mentioned
qualitative characteristics:
i. Reliability: Accounting information should be recorded on the basis of documentary evidence
which is verifiable and reliable. The accounting facts should be presented in an unbiased
(impartial) manner.
ii. Relevance: Relevant information should be included in the books of accounts. Relevant
information is any information which may change the results of the business if disclosed.
At the same time, any irrelevant or unnecessary information should be ignored.

of the business available to outsiders like Crediters, Customers, Banks, Financial
Institutions, Investors etc. The purpose of Financial Accounting is to maintain systematic

records for the ascertainment of the financial performance and the financial position of a
business and communicate the same to the various interested parties. This information is
presented in the form of Profit and Loss Account and Balance sheet which show the
performance of the business during the specified period.

ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES
i. Business Transactions:
Every transaction of a business, which deals in buying and selling of goods in exchange of
money is called a Business Transaction. Every transaction should have a financial impact and
it should be measurable in terms of money.
There are two main types of Transactions: (Monetary & Non-monetary)

a. Monetary Transactions: The transactions which involve an exchange of money or money's
worth, directly or indirectly, are called as Monetary Transactions. Only Monetary transactions
are recorded in books of accounts. These can be further classified into two types :
1. Cash Transactions: Cash transactions are those transactions where the payment / receipt
of cash occurs at the time of transaction only.
2. Credit Transactions: Credit Transactions are those transactions where the payment or
receipt of cash takes place after a specified period of time.
b. Non-Monetary Transactions: The transactions carried out without the involvement of money
or money's worth, directly or indirectly, are called Non-Monetary transactions. These
transactions are not recorded in the books of accounts.
c. Barter System: Barter System is when goods and services are exchanged against other
goods and services.

d. Entry: Entry is a first record of a business transaction in the books of accounts. To pass
an entry means to record a transaction in a proper form by using the correct technique in the
books of accounts.
e. Narration: Narration is a short explanation of the business transaction for an entry . It

starts with the word 'Being' and is written in brackets below the entry.
ii. Goods: Goods are commodities or articles bought or sold by a businessman with the motive
to earn profit. The businessman may manufacture the goods himself or he may purchase them
for the purpose of sale.
iii. Profit / Loss:

a. Profit: The excess of Income over Expenses during an accounting year is known as 'Profit'.
b. Loss: The excess of Expenses over Income during an accounting year is known as 'Loss'.
c. Gross Profit: Gross profit is the excess of the Net Sales over the Cost of Goods Sold.
Net Sales is the revenue (income) received after deducting the goods returned by the customer
out of the total goods sold.
Cost of Goods Sold includes the direct expenses related to the manufacture or purchase of
goods.
Net Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales - Sales Return Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS
d. Operating Profit: The excess of Gross Profit over Operating Expenses is known as Operating
Profit. Operating Profit is a result of conducting the Operational Activities of a business.
Operational activities are the activities performed to generate revenue for the business.
Operating Expenses are the expenses incurred for Administraion of Office, Selling and
Distribution of goods and the Financial Expenses of a business.
Operating Profit = Gross Profit - Operating Cost
Operating Cost = Admin. & Office Expenses + Selling and Distribution Exp. + Financial Expenses
e. Non-Operating Profit: Non-Operating Profit is generated from activities which do not involve
any production of goods or services. It is the profit arising out of the Non Operational activities
of a business.
Non-Operating Profit = Non-Operating Income (–) Non-Operating Expenses
f. Normal Gain: When goods are manufactured they pass from various processes. Every process
has a defined output. Output of one process becomes input of another process. If the quantity
of output increases during the normal course, it is called 'Normal Gain'. Normal Gain is when
the actual ouput is equal to the expected output. It happens under normal circumstances and
does not affect the cost of production.

g. Abnormal Gain: During the production process, when the goods are transferred from one
process to another, there is a possibility that the quantity may increase to much more than
what is expected. Such an unexpected increase in the quantity is known as 'Abnormal Gain'.
The actual output in this situation, is much higher than the expected output of production.
Abnormal Gain may also arise when there is reduction of wastage. When the actual wastage is
lesser than the normal wastage, it is also termed as Abnormal Gain.
Abnormal Gain is essentially a result of an increase in the effeciency of the production
department.
h. Income: The revenue arising from the sale of goods or services is called Income. It also
includes revenues from other sources, common to most businesses such as Interest on
Investments, Dividend, Rent, Commision etc.
iv. Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth:

a. Assets: An Asset is any property owned by a business unit. Assets can be classified in
three types:
1. Fixed Assets: Assets which are purchased for the purpose of long term use and are
not usually sold until they are worn out are called Fixed Assets. They provide long term
benefits to the Business.
2. Current Assets: Current Assets are the assets which remain in the business for a
short period of time (usually less than a year) and can be converted into cash easily.
3. Fictitious Assets: Fictitious Assets are intangible in nature. These assets cannot be
seen or touched. They can only be felt. They do not have any physical form of existence
but they can be valued in terms of money. They are imaginary assets and generally
do not have any exchange value.
b. Liabilities: The amount payable by business to outsiders is known as Liability. It is the
amount due from the business to various parties for the benefits received by the business unit.
1. Fixed Liabilities: Fixed Liabilities, also known as Long Term Liabilities, are funds made
available to business units from various sources for long term use. They are the major source
of funds for the business.
2. Current Liabilities: Liabilities which are payable in a short period of time (generally within
a year) are called Current Liabilities. These are sources of short term finance for business
units,
c. Net Worth / Owners Equity or Capital: Capital is the money invested by the proprietor of
a firm to start a business. Additionally, the excess of the Assets over Liabilities is also known
as 'Capital' or 'Net Worth' of a business. As per the business entity concept, business and its
owner are separate entities.

Net worth = Owners Equity = Capital Owner's Equity = Total Equity (Assets) - Creditors
Equity (Liabilities)
Net Worth = Capital + Reserves Capital = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets
v. Contingent Liabilities: Contingent Liability is a liability which may have to be paid at a

future date, depending upon the happening or non happening of a certain event. It does not
affect the financial position of a business and hence it is not recorded in the books of accounts
till the event actually occurs. A contingent liability is stated as a foot note to the Balance
sheet, simply for information.
vi. Capital and Drawings:

a. Capital: Total amount of funds invested by proprietor in the business is called capital.
In accounting sense, the excess of Assets over Liabilities is called capital. Capital is a
liability of the business as the amount is repayable to the owner of the business unit.
Given below is the equation for the calculation of Capital:
Capital = Assets - Liabilities
b. Drawings: Any goods or amount withdrawn by the proprietor from the business for his
personal use is called Drawings.
vii. Debtors and Creditors:

a. Debtors: A person who pays money to the business for goods and services purchased by him
on credit is called a Debtor. A Debtor is a person who owes money to the business.

Assets is called Capital Expenditure. This type of expenditure is non-recurring in nature and
the benefits can be availed over a longer period of time. It increases the earning capacity of a
business.
b. Revenue Expenditure: Revenue Expenditure is expenditure from which the benefit is received
immediately or for a short term, generally less than one year. It is expenditure incurred on
operating expenses / day to day expenses of a business which are recurring in nature. Such

expenses do not increase the profit earning capacity of a business. Revenue expenditures appear
on the debit side of the Trading Account or Profit and Loss Account.
c. Deferred Revenue Expenditure: Expenditure incurred which is revenue in nature and provides
benefit for more than one year is called Deferred Revenue Expenditure. This expenditure is
written off in Profit and Loss A/c over a period of time. Amount written off is shown in debit
side of Profit and Loss Account and amount which is not written off yet is shown in the
Balance sheet - Asset side.
ix. Cash Discount and Trade Discount: Discount is a concession on payment given by the
seller to the buyer,
a. Cash Discount: Concession provided to customers for prompt payment of debt. It is deducted
from the amount recievable or payable at the time of payment and is given for either spot
payment or payment made within a specified time period. Cash discount is given on the price
calculated after the deduction of Trade Discount. Cash Discount is a loss to seller and gain for
the buyer and hence, it is always recorded in books of accounts
b. Trade Discount: Allowance or concession given to the buyer on list price of goods at the
time of sale. Trade discount is not recorded in books of accounts as it helps the retailer to sell
the goods on printed price and yet make profit.

preparation of financial statements is essential. Financial statements are prepared for a period
of 12 months. In earlier times, businessmen were allowed to prepare or close the accounts as
per their traditional calendars. However, now, in India, as per the Income Tax rules, an
accounting year should be of 12 months starting from 1 st April to 31st March. A Businessman
is required to prepare the Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account and Balance sheet to
ascertain the financial position of the business.

in monetary terms. It adds value to the business in addition to the value of the Tangible
Assets however, Goodwill does not have any physical existence. It is recorded on the Asset side
of the Balance sheet.
ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS, CONVENTIONS AND PRINCIPLES

Professional Accounting bodies have developed the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) which confirm the established practices and principles for recording transactions. All
accountants are expected to follow these accounting principles while preparing accounts as they
facilitate ease of comparison of accounts between different organizations. It is also beneficial
for auditors to check accounts of various organizations as the basic concepts followed while
preparing the accounts are standardised.
Meaning of Accounting Concepts:

Accounting concepts are the general rules of accounting to be followed and practiced by an
accountant while preparing the accounts of a firm. Accounting is the language of business and
this language needs to be consistent for all businesses else it would be difficult for the various
interested parties to interpret the accounts of a business. In order to standardise this language,
accounting concepts have been developed over the years. Accounting Concepts are general
guidelines for sound accounting practices.
Importance of Accounting Concepts:

i. Reliable Financial Statements
ii. Uniformity in presentation
iii. Generally acceptable basis of measurement
iv. Proper information to all

v. Valid and appropriate assumptions
KEY ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS:

i. Business Entity: The concept of Business Entity states that a Business and its Owner are
two separate entities. As per this concept, a business should record transactions only related
to business. Proprietors personal transactions are not to be recorded in the books of the
business. For e.g.: Payment of the Electricity bill for the residence of the owner will not be
recorded as an expense in the books of accounts. It will simply be deducted from the capital
account of the owner.
ii. Money Measurement Concept: Business transactions need to be recorded in a common unit
of measurement. Money is used as a common measurement unit to record all the business
transactions. As a result of this concept, only monetary transactions are recorded in the books
of accounts. In India, transactions can only be recorded in Indian currency, i.e. 'Rupee' (Rs.).
iii. Cost Concept: The Cost concept states that all the assets purchased should be recorded
at cost price and the cost paid will be the base for further accounting. Market price of an
asset keeps fluctuating. Hence, it becomes necessary to record the transactions at cost price.
iv. Consistency Concept: The consistency concept states that any policies adopted for
accounting should not change frequently unless it is the demand of the changing circumstances.
Poilicies adopted for accounting should be consistent and continuous. This concept does not
prevent introduction of any new techniques or the improvement of any existing techniques but
any deviations from the existing methods should be disclosed separately as a note.
v. Conservatism Concept: In accounting, a business should not anticipate future profits but
anticipate future losses and make provisions for all the possible expenses. This helps create
some reserves in the books of accounts which can absorb the unexpected expenses, if any. The
Profit and Loss Account may show lower income and in Balance sheet may overstate the
Liabilities and understate the Assets. This policy of recording is asking the accountant 'to play
safe' while recording transactions in the books of accounts.
vi. Going Concern Concept: Going Concern Concepts states that a business should function
for a long period of time. It should not be closed down in a short period of time. If a new
business suffers losses, it should not be closed but given a chance to make profits in the long
run. This concepts builds confidence in Investors, Creditors, Customers and Employees.
vii. Realization: This concept states that an income is realized only when it is received or
earned. Similarly, revenues are recorded only when goods are sold or services are provided. Sales
revenues are considered as recognized when sales are effected during the accounting period,
irrespective of whether the payment has been received or not.

viii. Accrual: Expenses are recorded when they are accrued i.e. when they become payable.
Similarly, Income is also recorded when it is accrued i.e. when it becomes receivable. Actual
payment and receipts are not concerned with recording of the expenses or incomes. As per the
Accrual concept, Incomes and Expenses related to the specific accounting period should be
recorded in the books of accounts, irrespective of whether they have been paid or not.
ix. Dual Aspect Concept: Every business transaction has two effects and involves exchange of
benefits. Benefit received and benefit given, both the aspects should be recorded in the books.
The system which records such dual aspects in the books of accounts is known as Double
Entry System.
This principle is also referred to as the Debit and Credit concept. The account where the
benefit comes in is debited and the account where the benefit goes out is credited.
x. Disclosure: This concept states that the accounts must disclose all the material information.
Accounts should disclose true, fair and complete information to all the related parties. The
Balalance sheet and the Profit and Loss Account should present the true picture of the financial
performance and the financial position of the business. The information disclosed should possess
the qualities of relevance, reliability, comparability and it should be easy to understand for all
the concerned authorities.
xi. Materiality Concept: As per this concept, it would not be very economical for a business
to record all the small details in accounting. This concept states that rather significant and
important monetary matters need to be recorded in the books of accounts. The utility of the
transaction and information should be related to the time, efforts and the cost involved in
accounting of such transactions. Items with value/weightage on the financial condition of a
business need to be recorded and disclosed. The remaining information can be merged with
other items or it may be shown as foot notes.
xii. Revenue Recognition Principle: Revenue is the gross inflow of cash receivable by the
business. It also includes the other considerations (cash inflows) arising out of the ordinary
activities of the business. This principle states that the revenue earned in a particular
accounting period should be recognized and recorded in the books of accounts irrespective of
whether it has been received during that period or not.
xiii. Matching Principle: Matching principle states that all the income received or earned in an
accounting year should be matched with the expenses incurred in that accounting year. This
concept considers the accrual basis of accounting. Therefore, it includes all the adjustments
related to Prepaid Expenses, Outstanding Income, Outstanding Expense and Prerecieved Income.
The matching principle does not enforce that each expense should be matched with or linked
to every revenue. Expenses incurred may or may not be directly attributable to the revenue. In

cases where relevant, the appropriate expenses should be matched against the appropriate
revenues as per this concept.

transactions of a business arranged in a chronological or datewise order (Chronological).
 As soon as a transaction takes place, it is recorded in the journal, which is therefore
called a book of first, original or prime entry.
 In a journal, all types of business transactions are recorded systematically on the basis
of source documents, by debiting one account and crediting another account.

Chapter 3: JOURNALS
Prof. Carter, had defined Journal as, ‘‘the Journal as originally used, is a book of prime entry
in which transactions are copied in order of date from a memorandum or waste book. The
entries as they are copied are classified into debits and credits, so as to facilitate they are
being correctly posted, afterwards in the ledger.”
According to Cropper, “a journal is a book, employed to classify or sort out transactions in a

form convenient for their subsequent entry in the ledger.”
Thus, journal is a book wherein the accounts to be debited and credited are written along with
date, amount and explanation of the transaction.
Importance and utility of Journal:

(1) Journal is a preliminary book in which a complete and permanent records of all business
transactions in the form of debit and credit aspects are made. Thus, a complete record
of all transactions are available at one place.
(2) It is easier to find out needed reference of the transaction from the journal as
records are maintained in chronological or date wise order.
(3) In the journal, brief explanation of the transactions called ‘narration’ is given below every
entry. By reading the narration, one can easily understand the extent, nature and scope
of business transactions entered in the journal.
(4) Entries for various transactions recorded in the journal as well as in the ledger can be
easily verified or checked and errors if any can also be found out. This ensures accuracy.
(5) In the journal, all entries are made on the basis of source documents such as vouchers,
receipts, cash memos, credit memos, debit notes, credit notes, banking documents, etc.
Thus, information recorded in the journal are acceptable by the court of law as primary
and original evidence to prove the claims against third party.
(6) In the journal, the amount of each transaction (in figures) is recorded in debit and credit
amount columns. Arithmetical accuracy of the entries made in the journal is automatically
ensured when the to tells of debit and credit amount columns get agreed.
(7) Records made in the journal facilitate the preparation of final accounts at the end of the
accounting year.
