Accounting is the language of business. It is a systematic process of identifying, recording, measuring, classifying, verifying, summarizing, interpreting and communicating financial information. Accounting principles are the rules and guidelines that companies must follow when reporting financial data. These principles are essential for the preparation of financial statements that are accurate and reliable.The basic principles of accounting are generally accepted and are the foundation on which the entire accounting structure is based. They provide a framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. The following are some of the key accounting principles:1. Accrual Principle: This principle states that revenue and expenses should be recognized when they areincurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. This means that revenue is recorded when it is earned and expenses are recorded when they are incurred, regardless of when the cash is actually received or paid out.2. Matching Principle: This principle requires that expenses be matched with revenues. It means that expenses should be recognized in the same period as the revenues to which they relate. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the results of operations for a specific period.3. Cost Principle: According to this principle, assets should be recorded at their original cost. This means that when an asset is acquired, it is recorded at the amount of cash paid or the fair market value of the consideration given to acquire it.4. Going Concern Principle: This principle assumes thata business will continue to operate indefinitely. It means that the financial statements are prepared with the assumption that the business will continue to operate inthe foreseeable future.5. Conservatism Principle: This principle dictates that when in doubt, accountants should choose the method thatwill result in the least favorable outcome for the company. This means that assets and revenues are not overstated, and liabilities and expenses are not understated.6. Consistency Principle: This principle requires that once a company chooses an accounting method or principle,it should continue to use it consistently in the future. This ensures that financial statements are comparable over time.7. Materiality Principle: This principle states that financial information should be disclosed if it could influence the economic decisions of users. If theinformation is immaterial, it does not need to be disclosed.These principles form the basis for the preparation of financial statements that are reliable and comparable. They ensure that financial information is presented in aconsistent and understandable manner, allowing users to make informed decisions. Adhering to these principles is essential for the credibility and integrity of financial reporting.In conclusion, accounting principles are the guidelines that companies must follow when preparing financial statements. They ensure that financial information is accurate, reliable, and comparable. By adhering to these principles, companies can provide users with meaningful and useful financial information, which is essential for making informed economic decisions.。

Common asset accounts: cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepaidexpenses (rent, insurance, etc.), office supplies, store supplies, equipment, building, and land.b. Common liability accounts: accounts payable, notes payable, and unearnedrevenue, wages payable, and taxes payable.c. Common equity accounts: owner, capital and owner, withdrawals.2. A note payable is formal promise, usually denoted by signing a promissory note topay a future amount. A note payable can be short-term or long-term, depending on when it is due. An account payable also references an amount owed to an entity. An account payable can be oral or implied, and often arises from the purchase of inventory, supplies, or services. An account payable is usually short-term.3. There are several steps in processing transactions: (1) Identify and analyze thetransaction or event, including the source document(s), (2) apply double-entry accounting, (3) record the transaction or event in a journal, and (4) post the journal entry to the ledger. These steps would be followed by preparation of a trial balance and then with the reporting of financial statements.4. A general journal can be used to record any business transaction or event.5. Debited accounts are commonly recorded first. The credited accounts are commonlyindented.6. Expense accounts have debit balances because they are decreases to equity (andequity has a credit balance).7. A transaction is first recorded in a journal to create a complete record of thetransaction in one place. (The journal is often referred to as the book of original entry.) This process reduces the likelihood of errors in ledger accounts.8. The recordkeeper prepares a trial balance to summarize the contents of the ledgerand to verify the equality of total debits and total credits. The trial balance also serves as a helpful internal document for preparing financial statements and other reports.2-19. The error should be corrected with a separate (subsequent) correcting entry. Theentry’s explanation should describe why the correction is necessary.10. The four financial statements are: statement of comprehensive income (incomestatement), statement of financial position (balance sheet), statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows.11. The income statement lists the types and amounts of revenues and expenses, andreports whether the business earned a net income (also called profit or earnings) ora net loss.12. An income statement user must know what time period is covered to judge whetherthe company’s performance is satisfactory. For example, a statement user would not be able to assess whether the amounts of revenue and net income are satisfactory without knowing whether they were earned over a week, a month, a quarter, or a year.13. The balance sheet provides information that helps users understand a company’sfinancial position at a point in time. Accordingly, it is often called the statement of financial position. The balance sheet lists the types and dollar amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity of the business.14. (a) Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a specificentity as a result of past transactions or events. (b) Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past transactions or events. (c) Equity is the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities. (d) Net assets refer to equity.15. The balance sheet is sometimes referred to as the statement of financial position.16. Debit balance accounts on the Nestlé balance sheet include: Cash and cashequivalents; Short-term investments; Inventories; Trade and other receivables;Prepayments and accrued income; Derivative assets; Current income tax assets;Assets held for sale; Property, plant and equipment; Goodwill; Intangible assets;Investments in associates; Financial assets; Employee benefit assets; Deferred tax assets.Credit balance accounts on the Nestlé balance sheet include: Financial debt; Trade and other payables; Accruals and deferred income; Provisions; Derivative liabilities;Current income tax liabilities; Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale;Employee benefits liabilities; Deferred tax liabilities; Other payables; Share capital;Treasury shares; Translation reserve; Retained earnings and other reserves; Non-controlling interests.17. The asset account with receivable in its account title is: Accounts receivable. Theliability with payable in its account title is: Accounts payable.18. Puma’s revenue account is titled “Sales.”19. Each of the following is an expense account: Selling and distribution costs;Administrative expenses; Other expenses; Finance costs; Income tax expense.2-2QUICK STUDIESQuick Study 2-1 (5 minutes)a.

The same four basic financial statements are prepared under IFRS and USGAAP: income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows. Although some variations from these titles exist within both systems, the four basic statements are present.c. Accounting reports under both IFRS and US GAAP are likely differentdepending on the extent of accounting controls and enforcement. For example, the absence of controls and enforcement increase the possibility of fraudulent transactions and misleading financial statements. Without controls and enforcement, all accounting systems run the risk of abuse and manipulation.2-6EXERCISESExercise 2-1 (10 minutes)2 a. Record relevant transactions in a journal.4 b.

In this paper, the author will explain eight different accounting principles used to prepare the financial statements with suitable examples or illustration.2. Analysis of eight accounting principles2.1 Time Period AssumptionThe concept of Time Period refers to that accounting information should be collected and handled following timeperiods (Zeff, 2012). Time Period Assumption is a necessary supplement of Going Concern Assumption. This principle lays a foundation for other accounting principles such as Cost Principle and Matching Principle. Assuming an accounting entity should endlessly operate a business, logically the provision of accounting information needs to have regulated time period, which is the premise for accounting to perform effect (Schipper, 2003).The principle of Time Period Assumption manually divides the constant production and operation activities of an enterprise into various time periods, calculate economic activities and report operation outcome by stages (Zeff, 2012). It is because stakeholders need to timely know the financial condition and operation outcome of the enterprise, thus the enterprise should regularly provide accounting information as the basis of decision-making.Clarifying the basic premise of accounting time period has great importance to accounting, Due to the time period, the differences between this period and other period exist, thus generates the differences between accrual basis and cash basis, different types of accounting entities have the benchmark of keeping accounts, and further the accounting methods such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrual, deferral, prepaid and so on.In China’s accounting practice, an accounting year refers t o January 1st to December 31st (Zeff, 2012). For example, Financial Statements of 2012 reflects the financialinformation from January 1st 2012 to December 31st 2012. Financial statements which less than one year are called mid-term statements. Mid-term statements are mainly embodied assemi-annual statements and quarterly statements.2.2 Principle of Historical CostPrinciple of Historical Cost means that the recording of accounting elements should use the acquisition cost when economic businesses took place as the standard to measure (Weygandt et al, 2010). The main content of this principle is that all kinds of assets gained by an enterprise should use the primitive cost (actual cost) occurred when purchasing or building to record, and make it as the basis of share and transfer cost (White, 2006). When price of commodities changes, enterprises cannot adjust its accounting value except for state policy changes. Valuation according to actual cost can avoid randomness, make accounting information reliable and easy to know and compare.Principle of Historical Cost is mainly used to determine the cost of assets on the account book. For example, an enterprise spent $5 million buying an office building on January 1st 2010, thus when recording,the actual cost of the building is $5 million. Suppose that till January 1st 2013, the market price of this office building increased to $8 million, at that moment, there is no need to adjust the original recorded value, the original actual cost or the historical cost should be still on the account book. It should be noticed that, it does not mean that recorded value cannot be adjusted. For instance, this enterprise will sell the building, so assets appraisal will be conducted. This is a special case (White, 2006).2.3 Full Disclosure PrincipleFull Disclosure Principle refers to that in order to achieve the just reflection of an enterprise’s economic events and the influence, all necessary information should be fully provided and should be easy for users to understand (Weygandt et al, 2010).The goal of full disclosure is to meet users’ demand fo r decision-making. Full Disclosure Principle has several aspects of meaning.Firstly, comprehensiveness of disclosure. Comprehensiveness means any information which has influence on use rs’ decision-making or reflects economic events should bedisclosed. Horizontally, any information which reflects production and operation condition should be disclosed. Vertically, not only the surface but also the in-depth information should be recorded. Accounting information is mainly provided by financial statements, this kind of regular and unified format has some limitations. The Notions as the supplementary information become more important with the guidance of Full Disclosure Principle (Schipper, 2003). Secondly, the properness of disclosure. Over-disclosure will make users confused. Therefore major programmes should be disclosed in-detail, while less-important programmes can be disclosed less, so as to let users effectively use the information. Thirdly, the effectiveness of disclosure. Understandable is the connection between decision-makers and the effectiveness of decisions.Besides, information should meet the common demands of different users. Lastly, the promptness of disclosure requires obligators to disclose information in specific ways according to laws and regulations.2.4 Matching principleMatching Principle means the income of a certain time period or a certain accounting object should match the corresponding cost, so as to correctly calculate the net profit or loss of the accounting entity during the time period (Weygandt et al, 2010). Matching Principle as a requirement of accountingelements confirmation, is used to determine profits. Economic activities accounting entity will bring some certain income and also spend corresponding costs. Income and cost are the unity of the opposites, profits is the result. Matching Principle is based on Benefit Principle. Direct costs with causal relations and indirect costs without causal relations must be distinguished according to the Matching Principle. Direct costs should be directly matched with income to decide the loss or profit, while indirect costs firstly make apportionment among all products and income with proper standard, and than determine the loss or profit through matching revenues and expenses (Weygandt et al, 2010).Therefore, the Matching Principle has three aspects of meaning. Firstly, income of a product must match the cost of the product. Secondly, income of a time period must match the cost of the time period. Thirdly, income of a department must match thecost of the department.2.5 Going Concern PrincipleGenerally, going concern refers to one enterprise can maintain constant business operation in the foreseeable future (usually 12 months in a year), without intention or risk of bankruptcy (Efendi et al, 2007). In this case, the asset value of the enterprise can be remained, it also has the ability to pay its debt, income potential of going concern can improve the overall value of the enterprise. If an enterprise suffers long-term losses or investment error, insolvency may occur. In severe cases, enterprises cannot go concern, thus assets cannot be recorded according to fair value, but should be investment depreciation according to market price(Zeff, 2012).For instance, an enterprise uses $150000 to buy anequipment and predicts that the equipment can be used for five years and brings the enterprise $40000 every year. Based on Going Concern Principle, the enterprise will not go bankrupt in 5 years. Therefore, the $150000 investment can be regained in 5 years with $30000 cost annually, thus the equipment can gain $10000 per year. However without such assumption, accounting cannot be conducted normally. If the enterprise goes broke after 4 years, the equipment cost must be regained in four years, thus every year should bear $37500, there will be only $2500 profit.Without the assumption, accounting will have no certain time range, thus cannot complete. Similarly, production and operation activities cannot be organized neither (Ryan et al, 2002). 2.6 Revenue Recognition PrincipleRevenue recognition means the time when revenue is recorded. Revenue recognition should solve two problems, one is timing, the other is measuring (Ryan et al, 2002). Revenue recognition mainly includes the recognition of product sales revenue and service revenue. Besides, it also includes the revenue that gain from offering other to use the assets of the enterprise, such as interest, use fee and dividend. This principle must meet four basic premises: definability, accountability, relativity and reliability (Weygandt et al, 2010). Meanwhile, it must conform to some common standards.In No.5 financial accounting concept of morality released by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), according to Revenue Principle, revenue is usuallyrecognized when revenue is realized or realizable, or is earned (Schipper, 2003). Therefore, revenue of selling products is generally recognized on the sales date. Service revenue is confirmed when completing the duty of offering services.Revenue gained from allowing others to use the corporate is gradually recognized with the time passes or the procedure of asset use. While the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) emphasizes on defining revenue timing from the basic standard that whether the important risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyers (Schipper, 2003).2.7 MaterialityThe Materiality principle has several features. Firstly, the core is one cannot omit or misrepresent important information, the standard of judging importance is to see whether it will influence the decisions of users. Secondly, the concept is proposed from the perspective of information users, main users include investors, shareholders etc. Thirdly, judgment of materiality cannot be separated from the enterprise environment, different enterprises or the same enterprise in different period, the standards may differ (Weygandt et al, 2010). Lastly, judgment of importance cannot neglect its own nature. Some information does not reach the importance, but the nature is serious, thus it has conformed to the requirement of materiality, so it should be disclosed.In terms of the application of this principle, firstly, it can be used in the recognition of post balance sheet events. Matters need to be adjusted or explained means information which reaches to the materiality standard and can influence decision-making should be handled specifically. Secondly, it can be used in making mid-term financial statements. The aim is to improve the promptness of information, therefore it does not require the enterprises to provide complete information like annual financial statements (Weygandt et al, 2010). In addition, the principle can also used in recognition of segmental reporting, trade disclosureof related parties and disclosure of notes to financial statements.2.8 ConservatismThe principle of Conservatism refers to that when dealing with the uncertaineconomic businesses of the enterprises, people should hold the cautious attitude. That is to say, all predictable loss and cost should be recorded and confirmed, while income without 100% certainty cannot be recognized and recorded. In market economy conditions, enterprise inevitably will face risks,implementing the Conservatism principle can help enterprises resolute or prevent risks before the risks come. It is beneficial for enterprises to make correct operation decisions, protect interest of owners and stakeholders, improve enterprises’ competence in market.This principle has both advantages and disadvantages. It has the information features demanded by stakeholders, which can protect their interest so as to avoid unnecessary loss. It is also an effective management method in principle making institutions and a standard when accounting staff deal with the uncertain items. However, it may reduce the quality of accounting information because it has much judgment and estimation. It also brings some convenience for information counterfeiters and managers’ short-term behaviors.3.ConclusionUnder modern corporate system, ownership and managing right of enterprises are separate. Only through accounting information can users precisely judge whether the investment is used scientifically and appropriately. In order to prepare good financial statements, various accounting principles should be adopted, therefore, it is important for accounting professionalsto have a comprehensive understanding of various accounting principles and their applications.References:Efendi, J., Srivastava, A., & Swanson, E.

Ethics – A Key Concept
The goal of accounting is to provide useful information for decisions. For information to be useful, it must be trusted. This demands ethics in accounting. Ethics are beliefs that distinguish right from wrong. They are accepted standards of good and bad behavior.
External users of accounting information are NOT directly involved in running the organization. Internal users of accounting information ARE directly involved in managing and operating an organization.
Differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS are decreasing as the FASB and IASB pursue a convergence process aimed to achieve a single set of accounting standards for global use.

Accounting Across the Organization
Dividing Up the Pie
What should you do when you and your business partner disagree to the point where you are no longer on speaking terms? Given how heated business situations can get, this is not an unusual occurrence. Unfortunately, in many instances the partners do everything they can to undermine each other, eventually destroying the business. In some cases, people even steal from the partnership because they either feel that they “deserve it” or they assume that the other partners are stealing from them. It would be much better to follow the example of Jennifer Appel and her partner. They found that after opening a successful bakery and writing a cookbook, they couldn’t agree on how the business should be run. The other partner bought out Ms. Appel’s share of the business. Ms. Appel went on to start her own style of bakery, which she ultimately franchised.

1.会计准则和会计制度英文Accounting principles and practices vary across industries and regions, but they all serve a common purpose: to ensure financial transparency and compliance. For a business, having a clear understanding of accounting guidelines is crucial for making informed decisions.In day-to-day operations, accounting principles guide the recording of transactions, from sales to purchases, and ensure that all financial statements are accurate and reliable. This not only helps a business track its performance but also builds trust with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders.The accounting system is the framework that supports these principles. It involves the processes, policies, and procedures that a company follows to maintain its financial records. A well-designed accounting system ensuresefficiency and reduces the chances of errors or fraud.For small businesses, it might be simpler to manage accounting tasks manually. But as a business grows, automating accounting processes becomes essential. This can be done through the use of accounting software that handles tasks like invoicing, tracking expenses, and generating financial reports.Another important aspect is staying updated with accounting standards and regulations. These can change over time, and it's crucial for businesses to adapt their accounting practices accordingly. Failure to comply with regulations can lead to fines, penalties, and even legal issues.In conclusion, having a solid grasp of accounting principles and maintaining an efficient accounting systemis essential for any business.
