Accounting Principles (GAAP);

Time allotment: 3 hours
Introduction
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) refers to a widely accepted

set of rules, standards, conventions, and procedures for reporting financial
information. GAAP is an amalgamation of authoritative standards and the
usually accepted methods of recording and reporting info on accounting.
Principles included in GAAP
The principles included in

GAAP are derived from
tradition, like the concept of
matching. In any financial
report, the auditor/preparer is
supposed to indicate the
compliance of provided info
with GAAP.
The origins of GAAP or

Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles go all the way back to
1929 and the stock market
crash that caused the Great
Depression. Faith in the
economy was at an all-time low
and the government of that time
decided that something had to
be done to rebuild that faith.

Revision # 01
Thus, the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC was formed with a
mission to regulate financial practices. The SEC in turn asked the American
Institute of Accountants for help in order to examine financial statements and
1936 the concept of GAAP was spoken about for the first time.
The evolution of these accounting standards has taken more than half-a-
century and changes are being made even today. Along the way the governing
boards have changed as well and in the current era, it is the Financial Accounts
Standards Board or FASB that decide the rules of accounting. But the SEC still
continues to have enforcement powers.
There are ten (10) basic principles that make up these standards:
1. The Business as a Single Entity Concept:

A business is a separate entity in the eyes of the law. All its activities are treated
separately from that of its owners. In legal terms a business can exist long after
the existence of its promoters or owners. The personal transactions of the owner
should not be included in the business transactions. The business has its own
personality and a financial statement is prepared to report its performance, cash
flows, its resources, and claims to the resources.
Examples of The Business as a Single Entity Concept
a. Mike, a partner in Big House Realty, LLC, often uses his company credit
card for personal expenses like dry cleaning and new clothes. He insists
that these are business expenses because he must wear new clothes in
order to show houses. Unfortunately, these are not business expenses.
Clothing is a personal expense and can’t be recorded in the company
financial statements. This would violate the business entity concept.
Instead, these transactions should be accounted for as an owner
withdrawal.

b. Assume Bob, a local landscaping business owner, decides to branch out
and buy another existing business: a concrete company. This way his
concrete company can pour footings and walkways and his landscaping
business can landscape around them. Since Bob owns both companies
personally, he thinks that he can combine both companies accounting
records into one Quickbooks file. According to the business entity concept,
both of these companies are separate entities and must be accounted for
separately even though Bob is the owner of both companies. If Bob’s
landscaping company had bought the concrete company, both companies
would have merged and could be reported together.
c. Jim, an owner of a pizza shop, decides to buy a new delivery car. Since
the company was low on cash, Jim decided to pay for the car himself out of
his personal bank account. Jim intends to add the car to the balance sheet
of the pizza shop. The economic entity principle requires Jim and his
company to keep activities separated, so the car must remain a personal
vehicle unless Jim contributes it to the company or the company buys it
from Jim personally.
2. The Specific Currency Principle:

A currency is specified for reporting the financial statements. In the Philippines
all the numbers have to be expressed in Peso. Companies who conduct parts of
their businesses in foreign currencies have to convert the amounts in Peso using
the prevalent exchange rate while reporting their financial statements.
Examples of The Specific Currency Principle
a. The company's property, plant and equipment on 2009 balance sheet

amounted to $2 billion. During 2010 inflation was 10%. The monetary unit
and stable dollar assumption prohibits any adjustment to current or prior
period figures to account for the inflation.
b. The BP oil spill in Gulf of Mexico was a natural disaster but accounting
only reports the financial impact in the form of claims paid, damages paid,
cleanup costs, etc. This is due to the limitation imposed by the monetary
unit assumption.

3. The Specific Time Period Principle:
Financial statements always pertain to a specific time. Income statements have a
start date and an end date. An accounting period which ends on December 31 is
called calendar year. If it does not end on December 31, then it is called Fiscal
year or Natural business year. Balance sheets are reported as on a certain date.
This way the readers know during which period the business transactions were
conducted in.
Examples:
a. The Meta company provides services valuing $2,500 to Beta company

during the first quarter of the year. The Beta company will pay the cash for
these services next quarter. According to time period assumption, if Meta
company prepares its financial statements at the end of the first quarter of
the year, it must include this service revenue of $2,500 in its income
statement for the first quarter.
b. The Meta company incurs expenses of $1,200 during the first quarter of
the year. The cash for these expenses will be paid next quarter. The time
period assumption requires Meta company to disclose these expenses on
the income statement for the first quarter of the year.
Notice that the two examples given above show that the time period assumption
is closely related to matching principle and revenue recognition principle of
accounting.
4. The Historical Cost Principle:

Historical costs are used for valuing items. The prices at which items were
brought and sold are used for the valuations. Real values do change during the
course of time due to inflation and recession, but these are not considered for
reporting purposes. Purchased assets are recorded using the invoice price and
any invested asset is recorded at its fair market value.
Example: The cost principle requires that assets be recorded at the cash
amount (or its equivalent) at the time that an asset is acquired. For
example, if equipment is acquired for the cash amount of P50,000, the
equipment will be recorded at $50,000. If the equipment will be useful for
Date Revised:
Developed by:
NTTA
Proprietorship
Revision # 01
10 years with no salvage value, the straight-line depreciation expense will
be P5,000 per year (cost of P50,000 divided by 10 years). The equipment's
market value, replacement cost or inflation-adjusted cost will not affect the
annual depreciation expense of P5,000. The company's balance sheets will
report the equipment's historical cost minus the accumulated depreciation.
5. The Full Disclosure Principle:

The full disclosure principle is always in keen focus what with all the accounting
scandals in the news nowadays. It is required that companies reveal every aspect
of the functioning in their financial statements. Any information that are
significant and relevant in the financial reporting are to be disclosed in the
financial statements.
Examples:
a. If we talk about a loan to a director provided by the company. The full
disclosure principle will require the managers of the company to disclose
all the information related to that loan arrangement like loan deed itself,
the duration of loan, any collateral liability attached and the rate of interest
the company is charging to that director etc. So in the light of this data any
new possible investors can make their decision about investing in the
company with more ease.
b. Another example could be the knowledge about the assets and liabilities
of a company. Along with the values, the rate of depreciation, the policy of
charging depreciation or amortization, the policies about revaluations of
assets, any liabilities or provisions that are contingent, any assets that fall
under fixed or floating charge, any assets leased, physical condition of the
building and machinery etc. could help external users to make more
informed decision. Like, for instance, if a bank has related covenants to
meet certain liquidity ratios (e.g. current ratio) that depict the company’s
capacity to pay its liabilities as they fall due, all the information mentioned
above will help the bank decide whether the company meets the
requirements of the covenants and based on that information the bank can
decide whether it should renew the loan or not.
c. If a company expects a change in tax rate in near future, it must disclose

this information in some appropriate manner.

Revision # 01
d. Every company uses certain accounting policies and methods for
preparing its financial statements. These policies and methods must be
disclosed to the users of financial statements.
6. The Recognition Principle:

There is also the recognition principle which states that companies reveal their
income and expenses in the same time period in which they were accrued. This
principle states that revenue is already earned if the performance of services has
already been done (in case of service business) or if the goods have already been
delivered to the customer (in case of merchandising business). Revenue is
recognized in the books if it is already earned whether there is a cash inflow or an
arising receivable.
Examples
1. The Gibson Guitar Company places an order for a certain type of wood
to Eastern Wood Company on January 25, 2018. The Eastern Company
ships the wood to Gibson Guitar Company on February 5, 2018. On the
same date, the Gibson Guitar Company intimates Eastern Company that it
has received the wood. The Gibson Guitar Company makes the full
payment of this order on February 20, 2018.
According to Revenue Recognition Principle, Eastern Company should record

the revenue on February 5, 2018 when the wood is received by the Gibson not at
the time of the placement of order or the time when cash is received.
2. On December 25, 2017, the John Marketing Consultants receives

P15,000 cash from SD corporation. This is an advance receipt of cash for
which the consultancy service is to be provided in the month of January,
2018. On January 05, 2018, the relevant consultancy services are provided
by John Marketing consultants to SD corporation.
According to Revenue Recognition Principle, the John Marketing Consultants

should recognize the revenue on January 05, 2018, not on December 25, 2018
when the cash is received SD from corporation.
7. The Non-Death Principle of Businesses:

The accounting principles assume that businesses will continue to function
eternally and have no end date as such.

Examples
a. A company manufactures a chemical known as Chemical-X. Suddenly,
the government imposes a restriction on the manufacture, import, export,
marketing and sale of this chemical in the country. If Chemical-X is the
only product that company manufactures, the company will no longer be a
going concern.
b. The National company is in serious financial trouble and cannot pay its
obligations. The government gives National company a bailout and a
guarantee of all payments to creditors. The national company is a going
concern despite of its current weak financial position.
c. The Eastern company closes one of its branch and will continue with
others. The company is a going concern because the shutting down a small
part of business does not impair the ability of the company to operate as
going concern.
d. The Small company is unable to make payments to its creditors due to a

very weak liquidity position. The court grants the order of liquidating the
company upon the request of one of the company’s creditors. The company
is no longer a going concern because sufficient evidence is available to
believe that the company cannot continue its operations in future.
8. The Matching Principle:

The matching principle states that the accrual system of accounting be used and
for every debit there should be a credit and vice versa. All costs and expenses
that are incurred in the production of revenue must be recognized and reported
in the same accounting period.
Examples
a. When a company makes sales, majority of it are against credit, i.e. where
the customer receives delivery of goods or services but promises to make
the payment, say within 30 days. In accordance with revenue recognition
principle, revenue is recognized when the delivery is made. Now, there is a
Date Revised:
Developed by:
NTTA
Proprietorship
Revision # 01
risk that the customers may not pay the amount due against those sales,
which results in the company writing off the account receivable as bad
debts expense. The possibility of bad debts exists when the sale is made, so
expense should be recognized right at that moment when the sale is made.
Recognizing bad debts expense requires considerable estimation.
b. Company B generates P2,000,000 in revenue in 2018. Total purchases

of inventories were P1,000,000 of which P100,000 remained on hand at the
end of 2018. The cost of sales should be reflected in the income statement
at P900,000 [P1,000,000 minus P100,000]. The company’s gross profit for
2018 should be P1,100,000 (=P2,000,000 minus P900,000). The main
point is to subtract only that much expense in a particular period which is
related to the revenues earned in that period. Since P100,000 worth of
inventories are to be sold in next period, they should not be subtracted
from revenue for the current period.
c. A hospital pays P20,000 per month to 5 of its doctors. Monthly sales are
P500,000. P100,000 worth of monthly salaries should be matched with
P500,000 of revenue generated.
9. The Principle of Materiality:

Then there are a couple of principles which require the bookkeepers to use their
judgment rather than sure shot rules. There are inaccuracies in all accounting
records. After all, nobody is perfect. But when errors are made how important are
they for the bookkeeper to break his head over. A ten peso error can be ignored,
but not a thousand dollars one. This is where the principle of materiality comes
in and this is where the accountants have to use their judgments.
Example of The Principle of Materiality

a. A company controller decides that the materiality constraint of the
business is P20,000. An asset is purchased for P18,000. Since the size of
this purchase is below the materiality level, the controller decides to charge
the purchase to expense, rather than recording it as a fixed asset that will
be depreciated over many years, as per the normal company policy.
b. As another example, the controller of the same business must decide

whether to record a P50,000 medical insurance payment that applies to the
following month as a prepaid expense in the current period, or charge it to
expense. Since this amount exceeds the materiality level, the controller

Date Revised:
Developed by:
NTTA
Proprietorship
Revision # 01
should record the payment as a prepaid expense, and charge it to expense
in the following period, as per the normal company policy.
c. A larger business will have a higher materiality constraint, since its

sales level is so much higher than a smaller entity. A multi-national entity
might establish of materiality threshold of P1,000,000, while a small local
hardware store might have a P1,000 threshold.
d. The materiality constraint is a key consideration in the process of

closing the books, and helps accountants by allowing them to use the
simplest transaction recordation alternatives for smaller items.
10. The Principle of Conservative Accounting:

Conservative accounting is another principle to be adopted for the good of the
company. When expenses happen they are to be recorded immediately, but
incomes are to be recorded only when the actual cash has been received. Of
course, what policies companies follow depend on their own internal strategy.
Examples
a. Big Towing, Inc. issues financial statements in January for its prior
year. These statements correct an error in the previous year’s financial
statements. The error was estimated to be P200,000. The exact error
amount is unknown and would cost approximately P50M to exactly
pinpoint. The cost benefit principle states that Big Towing does not have to
find the exact amount of the error. A reasonable estimate is acceptable due
to the high cost of researching the actual cost of the error.
b. Paul’s Retail, LLC discovered that an employee was stealing from its
cash register. The amount is suspected to be over P1,000, but Paul is not
sure. It’s estimated that Paul would pay his accountant and attorney
P5,000 to dig through his records and discover the exact amount of the
theft. In this case, it would not be beneficial for Paul to do further research
and sue his former employee.
c. Lisa’s Salad Shop, a restaurant, is under audit with the IRS. The IRS
assets that Lisa’s expenses were only P15,000– not the P30,000 that Lisa
reported on her tax return. Lisa’s accountant estimates that it will cost
P10,000 in research costs to find the receipts and documentation for these
expenses. If the tax returns are restated with only P15,000 of expenses, the
Date Revised:

NTTA
Proprietorship
Revision # 01
additional taxes will only be P1,000. The cost of researching the expenses
outweighs the benefit of lowering the potential tax bill.
Companies need
to know the GAAP rules
thoroughly. In these
times when the banking
sector and indeed the
whole financial world is
under so much scrutiny
regulators are taking
compliance issues,
accounting principles
and business practices
very seriously. That is
why it is essential that
every individual in the
organization adhere to
these rules and
principles. Having an
effective Finance and
Accounting team is
critical to ensure the

land at the amount the company paid to acquire the land, even if the land could
be sold today at a significantly higher amount?
a. Cost
The cost principle requires the accountant to show assets at cost and expenses at cost rather
than at higher amounts. Accountants are not allowed to recognize gains from merely holding the
land. To be able to recognize a gain on the land, the company would have to sell the land.

b. Going Concern
7. A very large corporation's financial statements have the peso amounts

rounded to the nearest P1. Which accounting principle/guideline justifies not
reporting the amounts to the penny?
b. Materiality
As long as the digits omitted are small in relation to the true amounts, companies will round
numbers so as to emphasize the relevant digits. The rationale is that no one will be misled by the
omission of the insignificant digits.
8. Accountants might recognize losses but not gains in certain situations. For

Conservatism involves choosing between acceptable alternatives. In other words conservatism is
used to break a tie between two acceptable choices of how to account for something. It is also
associated with recognizing losses but not gains for certain situations.

10. When the accountant has to choose between two acceptable alternatives, the
accountant should select the alternative that will report less profit, less asset
amount, or a greater liability amount. This is based upon which
principle/guideline?
a. Conservatism
Conservatism is used in order to 'break a tie'. Accountants should strive to be objective and to
use conservatism when doubt exists between two options.
11. Public utilities' balance sheets list the plant assets before the current assets.
This is acceptable under which accounting principle/guideline?
c. Industry Practices
Certain industries (usually those that are regulated by the government) have unique reporting

government.
12. A large company purchases a P25 office supplies and expenses it
immediately instead of recording it as an asset. This practice may be acceptable
because of which principle/guideline?
c. Materiality
Because this is a large company, P25 is considered to be an insignificant amount to record it as

an asset.
13. A sole proprietorship pays its annual property tax of approximately P12,000
in one payment each December 28. During the year, the sole proprietorship's
monthly income statements report Property Tax Expense of P1,000. This is an
example of which accounting principle/guideline?

14. A company sold merchandise of P8,000 to a customer in December. The

company's sales terms require the customer to pay the company in 30 days. The
company's income statement reported the sale in December. This is proper under
which accounting principle/guideline?
The revenue recognition principle requires that revenue be reported when revenue is earned
(when goods are sold or services are provided) and not at the time when payment is received.

numerous inventions and innovations is not reported as an asset on the
corporation's balance sheet. The accounting principle/guideline that prevents the
corporation for reporting this person as an asset is
b. Cost
The cost principle requires that assets and other transactions be recorded at cost. The chief
executive was not purchased at a cost and therefore is not reported as an asset on the
corporation's balance sheet. The monetary unit assumption is also another reason why the
executive is not recorded—we do not know how to measure the executive in peso.

its retail value. This would violate which accounting principle/guideline?
a. Cost
The cost principle requires that assets be recorded at their cost at the time they are acquired.
The cost principle prohibits increasing the cost of items in inventory before an item is sold.
20. A company borrowed P100,000 in December and will make its only payment
for interest when the note comes due six months later. The total interest for the
six months will be P3,600. On the December income statement the accountant
reported Interest Expense of P600. This action was the result of which
accounting principle/guideline?
b. Matching
The matching principle requires that expenses be matched with the related revenues or to the
appropriate period of time. In this case the company is incurring interest expense every minute
that it has the loan. For one month's use of the money, the company has Interest Expense of
P600 and it needs to be reported on the December income statement in order to be in
compliance with the matching principle and the accrual basis of accounting.

Introduction
Basic Accounting Equation
Assets, liabilities and equity are the 3 elements of balance sheet (or statement of
financial position) that expresses the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities +
Owner’s Equity), which must always be balanced. Income and Expenses are the
elements that form the income statement.
The equation that is the foundation of double entry accounting. Thus, the
accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity. The balance sheet
is a complex display of this equation, showing that the total assets of a company
are equal to the total of liabilities and owner’s equity.
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Accounting Equation for a Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is a form of business organization that is owned by one

person. The owner is referred to as a sole proprietor. In accounting, the balance
sheet of the sole proprietorship reflects the accounting equation: Assets =
Liabilities + Owner's Equity.

What are Debits and Credits?
Debit and Credit are the most fundamental concepts in accounting,

representing the two sides of each individual transaction recorded in any
accounting system. A Debit transaction can be used to increase a debit balance
in an asset account or to reduce a credit balance in a liability account. On the
other hand, a Credit transaction can be used to decrease a debit balance in an
asset account, or to increase a credit balance in a liability account.

The easy way to remember when to debit and when to credit an account is
to remember the normal balances of the five types of accounts on the Chart of
Accounts. The Chart of Accounts is list of accounting accounts, categorized
according to types of accounts (assets, liability, equity, income and expenses)
with their corresponding account numbers. The normal balance is what the
account would have if it increases or if its increases are more than its decreases.
The following are the normal balances of those account types:
Asset Accounts – Debit

Liability Accounts – Credit
Owner’s Equity – Credit
Revenue Accounts – Credit
Expense Accounts – Debit
Contra Assets Accounts, such as Allowance for Bad Debts and Accumulated
Depreciation have Credit Normal Balances.
The following is a typical example of Chart of Accounts.

After you have identified the two or more accounts involved in a business
transaction, you must debit at least one account and credit at least one account.
To understand which accounts are debited or credited in order to either

increase or decrease their amounts, the following five fundamental elements of
any financial statement should be considered:
Assets – are the resources controlled by the entity as a result of past events and
from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. This
includes cash, receivables, inventories, prepayments, investments, property and
equipment.
Example for Cash:

 Whenever cash is received, Debit Cash.
 Whenever cash is paid out, Credit Cash.
Liabilities – are the present obligations of the enterprise arising from past
events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the
enterprise of resources embodying economic benefits. This includes accounts
Date Revised:

Revision # 01
payable, accrued expenses, income tax payable, unearned revenue and loans
payable.
Example for Accounts Payable:

 Whenever accounts payable is paid out, Debit Accounts Payable.
 Whenever accounts payable is incurred, Credit Accounts Payable.
Equity – this is the owner/s’ interest on the assets of the enterprise after
deducting all its liabilities. The structure of equity depends on the form of a
business: sole proprietorship (owner’s equity), partnership (partners’ equity),
stock corporation (stockholders’ equity), and nonstick – nonprofit corporation
(fund balances or members’ equity).
Example for Sole Proprietorship (Owner’s Equity):

 Whenever the owner made a withdrawal, Debit Owner, Drawing.
 Whenever the owner invested, Credit Owner, Equity.
Income – an increase in economic benefits during the accounting period in the

form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in
an increase in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity
participants. Examples of income are rental income, sales from goods, service
income, commission income, and any revenue.
Example for Rental Income:

 Whenever rental income has any adjustment, Debit Rental Income.
 Whenever rental income is earned, Credit Rental Income.
Expenses– are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in

the form of outflows or depletions of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result
in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity
participants. Examples of expenses are rent expense, employees’ salaries
expense, supplies expense, taxes and licenses expense.

Example for Rent Expense:
 Whenever rent expense is incurred, Debit Rent Expense.
 Whenever rent expense has any adjustment, Credit Rent Expense.
Withdrawals of company assets by the owner for the owner’s personal use are
known as “draws”. Since draws are not expenses, the transaction is not reported
on the company’s income statement.

Introduction
As described in the previous information sheet, transactions are analyzed

into debit and credit parts before information is recorded. A form for recording
transactions in chronological order is called a journal. Recording transactions in
a journal is called journalizing.
Transactions could be recorded in the accounting equation. However, most

companies wish to create a more permanent record by recording transactions in
a journal. Each business uses the kind of journal that best fits the needs of that
business. The nature of a business and the number of transactions to be
recorded determine the kind of journal to be used.
The word journal comes from the

Latin diurnalis, meaning daily. Most
businesses conduct transactions every
day. To keep from getting overloaded, the
businesses will make entries in their
accounting journals every day.
Information recorded in a journal includes the debit and credit parts of each
transaction recorded in one place. The information can be verified by comparing the
data in the journal with the transaction data. Transactions are recorded in a
Date Revised:
Developed by:
NTTA
Proprietorship
Revision # 01
journal in order by date. All information about a transaction is recorded in one
place, making the information for a specific transaction easy to locate.
Double-Entry Accounting
Information for each transaction recorded in a journal is called an entry. The

recording of debit and credit parts of a transaction is called Double-Entry
Accounting. In double-entry accounting, each transaction affects at least two
accounts. Both the debit and the credit parts are recorded, reflecting the dual effect
of each trans-action on the business’s records. Double-entry accounting assures
that debits equal credits.
Source Documents
A business paper from which information is obtained for a journal entry is

called a source document. Each transaction is described by a source document that
proves that the transaction did occur. For example, Encore Music prepares a check
stub for each cash payment made. The check stub describes information about the
cash payment transaction for which the check is prepared. The accounting concept,
Objective Evidence, is applied when a source document is prepared for each
transaction.
A transaction should be journalized only if it actually occurs. The amounts

recorded must be accurate and true. Nearly all transactions result in the
preparation of a source document: checks, sales invoices, receipts, and more.
Simple Entry and Compound

Entry
When recording journal entries

on the journals (General Journal and
or Special Journals), the entries may
require a more specified account. It
also includes date, reference numbers
and explanations. The examples
shown above are only Simple Entries.
A Compound Entry may be necessary
when transactions are more bulky
and complicated. When a company
has a standard chart of accounts, the
recoding of journal entries are based

Date Revised:

Proprietorship
Revision # 01
on the account titles, account numbers and other specific data stated in the chart of
accounts.
What is a business transaction?

A business transaction is an economic event or condition that directly
changes an entity’s financial condition or directly affects its results of operations.
An accounting transaction takes place when a business exchanges a thing of
value for another. Examples of business transactions are when a company
obtains loan from a bank, buys goods for sale, sell these goods to customers on
account, and collect the cash from its sale of goods.
SERVICE BUSINESS
A service is a set of one time consumable and perishable benefits

 Delivered from the accountable service provider, mostly in close coaction
with his internal and external service suppliers,
 Effectuated by distinct functions of technical systems and by distinct

activities of individuals, respectively,
 Commissioned according to the needs of his service consumers by the
service customer from the accountable service provider,
 Rendered individually to an authorized service consumer at his/her
dedicated trigger,
 and, finally, Consumed and utilized by the triggering service consumer for
executing his/her upcoming business activity or private activity.

There you have it. You should be getting the hang of it by now. If not, then you
can always go back to the examples above. Remember that accounting skills
require mastery of concepts and practice.
MERCHANDISING BUSINESS
The following are examples of business transactions for a sole

proprietorship business and their corresponding journal entries under
Merchandising Business. Take note that the amount on the left side represents
Debit and the amount on the right side represents Credit.
Typically entity uses either of the following two systems to record changes in
inventory:
1. Periodic inventory system

2. Perpetual inventory system
1. Periodic Inventory System
Under periodic system inventory records are maintained/updated in intervals like

at the end of every week or month, accountant will sit down and determine the
inventory at hand.
Under periodic inventory system, entity maintains temporary accounts like

purchases, purchases returns, sales and sales return. At the end of the period
the amounts in these temporary accounts are added to determine the amount of
inventory available for sale. Inventory still at hand is usually found by physically
counting the units. The number of units at hand are deducted from inventory
available for sale to compute cost of goods sold and hence the formula:
CGS = Opening inventory + [Purchases – Purchases returns] – Closing inventory
But it must be understood that purchases account and Inventory account are
two different things. If entity chooses to regularly update purchases account it
does not necessarily tell how much inventory entity holds at a particular time.

Revision # 01
Under periodic system it is the inventory account which is updated at intervals.
Accounting of periodic inventory system will be discussed later.
To emphasize again, physical inventory count (also called stock taking) at the
period end is mandatory under periodic system. Without such count, cost of
sales (or cost of goods sold) cannot be determined therefore, entities have to
conduct this activity at least once a year or at every period end.
2. Perpetual Inventory System
Under perpetual system, inventory record is updated on run-time basis i.e.

regularly after every transaction. As every purchase, return or sale transaction is
being recorded directly in inventory account, management will know the amount
of inventory at hand and cost of goods sold at any given point in time as opposed
to periodic inventory system where they have to wait until the end of the period.
Under perpetual inventory system, transactions are recorded directly in

inventory account and no separate or temporary accounts like purchases and
purchases returns are maintained. Every purchase, purchase return, sale or
sales return is recorded in inventory account as and when transaction takes
place.
Unlike periodic inventory system, physical inventory count is not required as

inventory record can tell the number of units at any given time.

A detailed discussion on accounting under both inventory systems will be done in

another section, however, for understanding purposes lets go through a simple
example that explains the difference in record keeping under both inventory
systems
The difference between the periodic and perpetual inventory systems
The periodic and perpetual inventory systems are different methods used to
track the quantity of goods on hand. The more sophisticated of the two is the
perpetual system, but it requires much more record keeping to maintain. The
periodic system relies upon an occasional physical count of the inventory to
determine the ending inventory balance and the cost of goods sold, while the
perpetual system keeps continual track of inventory balances. There are a
number of other differences between the two systems, which are as follows:

Date Revised:
Developed by:
NTTA
Proprietorship
Revision # 01
 Accounts. Under the perpetual system, there are continual updates
to either the general ledger or inventory journal as inventory-related
transactions occur. Conversely, under a periodic inventory system,
there is no cost of goods sold account entry at all in an accounting
period until such time as there is a physical count, which is then
used to derive the cost of goods sold.
 Computer systems. It is impossible to manually maintain the
records for a perpetual inventory system, since there may be
thousands of transactions at the unit level in every accounting
period. Conversely, the simplicity of a periodic inventory system
allows for the use of manual record keeping for very small
inventories.
 Cost of goods sold. Under the perpetual system, there are continual
updates to the cost of goods sold account as each sale is made.
Conversely, under the periodic inventory system, the cost of goods
sold is calculated in a lump sum at the end of the reporting period,
by adding total purchases to the beginning inventory and subtracting
ending inventory. In the latter case, this means it can be difficult to
obtain a precise cost of goods sold figure prior to the end of the
reporting period.
 Cycle counting. It is impossible to use cycle counting under a
periodic inventory system, since there is no way to obtain accurate
inventory counts in real time (which are used as a baseline for cycle
counts).
 Purchases. Under the perpetual system, inventory purchases are
recorded in either the raw materials inventory account or
merchandise account (depending on the nature of the purchase),
while there is also a unit-count entry into the individual record that
is kept for each inventory item. Conversely, under a periodic
inventory system, all purchases are recorded into a purchases asset
account, and there are no individual inventory records to which any
unit-count information could be added.
 Transaction investigations. It is nearly impossible to track through
the accounting records under a periodic inventory system to
determine why an inventory-related error of any kind occurred, since
the information is aggregated at a very high level. Conversely, such
investigations are much easier in a perpetual inventory system,
where all transactions are available in detail at the individual unit
level.
This list makes it clear that the perpetual inventory system is vastly
superior to the periodic inventory system. The primary case where a periodic
system might make sense is when the amount of inventory is very small, and
where you can visually review it without any particular need for more detailed
inventory records. The periodic system can also work well when the warehouse
staff is poorly trained in the uses of a perpetual inventory system, since they

might inadvertently record inventory transactions incorrectly in a perpetual
system.
Following are the typical journal entries under a periodic inventory system:
Inventory Purchase:
The purchase of inventory is recorded by debiting purchases account and
crediting accounts payable.
Purchases ——
Accounts Payable ——
Purchase Discount:
Under gross method, purchase discount is recorded using the following journal
entry:
Purchase Discounts ——
Note: The above two journal entries are usually combined in a single entry which
is shown below:
Purchases ——
Purchase Discounts ——
Purchase Return:
Purchase returns are recorded as shown below
Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable ——

Purchase Returns ——
Inventory Sale:
Unlike perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system records the
transaction of sale via a single journal entry:
Accounts Receivable ——
Sales ——
Sales Discounts:
A sales discount is recorded as shown below:

Again, the above two entries are combined in a period inventory system as shown
below:
Sales Discounts ——
Sales ——
Sales Return:
Similarly, sale returns are also recorded via a single journal entry:
Sales Returns ——
Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable ——
At the end of each accounting period, the value of ending inventory is determined
by physical count. Cost of goods sold is determined either as a balancing figure in
the closing entry shown at the end or by using the following formula:
COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases − Ending Inventory
The closing entry required in a periodic inventory system

Debits:
Inventory account by the value of ending inventory

Cost of Goods Sold account by the value as determined above or by the balancing

Reports” as an important factor to follow as a
bookkeeper? Why?

Yes, as a bookkeeper I will consider that because that’s
the way the owner can monitor the progress of his/her
business. It can also make changes easily by reducing the
flow of expenditures and by checking the cash flow
because through this, the bookkeeper can make the
financial statements and can easily analyze if the
company is on profit or loss.
