Accounting: Gathering and preparing financial information about a business or other organization

Gapps: a set of rules and guidelines that all accountants must follow

Key principles

Going Concern Concept

Assumes that the business will continue to operate unless it is known that it will not

Principle of Conservatism

Accounting for a business should be fair and reasonable

Ex: You can't say your business worth 1,000,000,000 dollars when you just get started because that's impossible.

Revenue Recognition Principle

Revenue must be recorded when the transaction was complete

Time Period Concept

Consistent time periods

The global standard time periods are monthly, quarterly and yearly.

Full Disclosure Principle

All information needed for a full understanding of a company’s financial statements must be included with the financial statements

Consistency principle

Once you adopt an accounting principle or method, continue to follow it consistently

Matching Principle

Each expense item related to revenue earned must be recorded in the same accounting period as the revenue it helped to earn

Ex: If a bought a thing in 2019 but no one use it until one year later someone use it to make money/do things, then the expense should be recorded 2020.

Objectivity Principle

Provide objective evidence

Ex: You can not say this dessert is the most delicious one in the world because that's probably not correct.

Cost Principle

Record the value as the purchase price.

Ex: If your company used $30 to buy an item, but one day later, it changed to $40, you need to record the money as $30 as this is how much you pay to buy it.

Business Entity concept
