The Basic Accounting Equation
Owner’s
Assets = Liabilities +
Equity
Provides the underlying framework for recording and summarizing

economic events.
• The resources owned/controlled by a business are called assets
• Financial rights to the assets of a business are called equities
The rights/claims to the properties are normally divided into two

principal types: the rights of creditors and the rights of the owners.
- The rights of creditors represent debts: liabilities.
- The rights of the owners are called owner’s equity.
Claims of creditors must be paid before ownership claims.
Assets
Definition:
• present economic resources controlled by entity as a result
of past event
• have the potential to produce economic benefit.
(According to IFRS-International financial report standards)
Assets
• Controlled : The present ability to direct the use of the

economic resource (the right to deploy that economic
resource in its activities, or to allow another party to
deploy the economic resource in that other party’s
activities)
The present ability to prevent other parties from directing
the use of the economic resource
• Controlled = owned?
Own or do not own but can control them and gain future
economics benefits there from
Ex: financial leases
• Future economic benefit: the potential to produce cash
inflow or to avoid cash outflow
Assets
Recognition:
• certain to gain future economic benefits
• The cost of asset can be measured reliably
Ø customer loyalty?
Ø a dedicated employee?
Assets
Assets
The operating cycle is the process by which a company

spends cash, generates revenues, and receives cash from
customers
Assets
Current assets include assets that are sold, consumed or

realized as part of the normal operating cycle.
When the entity’s normal operating cycle is not clearly

identifiable, it is assumed to be twelve months.
An entity shall classify all other assets as non‑current

assets.

Ø The most liquid assets
Ø Cash includes
lCash on hand

lCash in transit
Cash equivalents – Short-term, highly liquid investments

(maturity term <= 3 months) that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value
Current assets
Short-term investments – time to maturity is due within 12 months

(except cash equivalents), trading securities
Receivables – The term receivables includes all money claims against

other entities, including people, companies, and other organizations.
• Accounts receivable: a receivable is selling merchandise or services on

account (on credit).
• VAT deducted
• Intercompany receivable
• Other receivables
Current assets
Inventories:
1. held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
2. in the process of production for such sale;
or
3. in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in the rendering of services
• Raw materials (cement, sand, steel… to be used in production)

Non-current assets
Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets: physical substance
Are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for
administrative purposes; and
Are expected to be used during more than one accounting period?
Intangible fixed assets:

Long-term assets that are used in the operations of the business, but do
not exist physically, are called intangible assets.
Intangible assets may be acquired through innovative, creative
activities or from purchasing the rights from another company.
Examples of intangible assets include patents, copyrights, trademarks,
and goodwill.
Non-current assets
Fixed Assets
Regognition: Must meet all following criteria

• certain to gain future economic benefits
• The cost of asset can be measured reliably,

• Items that a company plans to use over the long term (>=1 year)
to help generate income.
Determining whether an item is an asset
Consider these necessary components of the definition in

determining which of the following are (or are not) assets of an
organisation:
1. A factory building 7. Employees
2. Some unused housing near an 8. The managing director who is
abandoned and remote mine site, very valuable to an organisation
where there is no demand for such 9. The underground water supply
buildings that flows under the organisation,
3. Machinery and from which the organisation
4. Inventory extracts water
5. Debtors (accounts receivable) 10. The river the organisation uses to
6. Shares held in another firm transport its goods to market.
Solution: The above items can be split into those that should be
considered assets of the organisation and those that should not
Liabilities
Definition
A liability is a present obligation of the entity to transfer an
economic resource as a result of past events.
• The entity has an obligation
• The obligation is to transfer an economic resource
• The obligation is a present obligation that’s exists as a result of
past events
Recognition:
• The outflow of resources embodying economic benefits (such as

cash) from the entity is probable.
• The cost / value of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Liabilities
As we have discussed, there are three separate components to a liability.

That is:
1. There must be a present obligation.

2. The obligation must have arisen because of a past event.
3. The obligation is expected to culminate in an outflow of economic
benefits
Liabilities
LIABILITIES
CURRENT LIABILITIES NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
Short - term borrowings Long - term borrowings
Trade payables Long - term debts

Payables to laborers Other long-term liabilities
Other payables
Ø Current liabilities: are liabilities that need to be paid within the
next 12 months.
Ø Non-curent liabilities: are liabilities that the business does not
have to pay for more than 12 months
Responsible for paying the debt
decreasingly
Liabilities
Determining whether an item is a liability
Consider these necessary components of a liability and then

determine which of the following items are (or are not) liabilities:
1. Bank overdraft 6. Obligation to clean up
2. Loan from bank contaminated land.
3. Rent payable 7. An organisation has guaranteed
4. Wages payable the debts of another organisation
5. Creditors (accounts payable) 8.An organisation has spilled
tonnes of oil into the sea.
Owner’s equity
Ø is the residual interest in the assets of the entity after

deducting all its liabilities.
(Owners’ equity = assets - liabilities)
Owner’s investment
(Share capital)
The origin of formation
Retain Earnings
Owner’s equity for

The purpose of use business purposes
Specialized Owner’s
equity
Other Owner’s equity

Revenues
Revenue and other income is the total value of economic

benefits obtained by the entity in the accounting period from:
• normal business activities (providing services or selling
goods to customers)
• investment activities: interest...
AND;
• other activities: commissions, liquidation of assets...
Expenses
Expense is the total value of items that reduce economic benefits in the
accounting period in the form:
• Outflow of money
• The use of other asset
• The incurring of liabilities
Expenses are decreases in assets, or increases in liabilities, that result in
decreases in owner’s equity, (other than those relating to distributions
to holders of equity claims)
EXPENSES
Expense is the amount incurred or paid in earning the

revenue and running the business, and includes:
Based on activities that generate expenses:
1. Business operating expenses:

• Cost of goods sold and services provided (also known as
cost of goods sold)
• Financial expenses
• Sales expenses
• Business administration expenses
(2) Other expenses

Business transactions & the accounting equation
An economic event or condition that directly changes an entity’s

financial condition or its results of operations is a business
transaction.
For example,
Purchasing land for $50,000 is a business transaction.
In contrast, a change in a business’s credit rating does not

directly affect cash or any other asset, liability, or owner’s equity
amount.
Business transactions & the accounting equation
Classification of business transaction:
(1) Normal business transactions in business operations
(2) Business transaction with special nature:
• Transactions that require a period of time, usually until

the end of the period (depreciation of fixed assets)
• Transactions are formed as required by accounting

principles (adjusting transactions - Chapter 4)
Transactions (Question?)
Q1-1: Are the following events recorded in the accounting records?

Discussion Question
In February 20X1, Paula King invested an
additional $10,000 in her business, King’s
Pharmacy, which is organized as a proprietorship.
King’s accountant, Lance Jones, recorded this
receipt as an increase in cash and revenues. Is this
treatment appropriate? Why or why not?
