...acc Accrual V.S. Cash Accounting Miguel Gonzalez ACC/290 August 3, 2012 Dr. Dorothy Welch In this assignment, I will describe the cash basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting and will explain the difference. Cash Basis accounting is the easy and less expensive method of accounting. In this method of accounting, cash is recognized when the physical cash transaction occurs. Thus, this method does not recognize payables, receivables, and prepaid expenses. Additionally, cash basis accounting does not comply with the revenue recognition principle and the matching principle. In accrual basis of accounting, revenue is recognized when it is earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. Susan Ward states, “Accrual basis accounting gives the most accurate picture of the financial state of your business.” We are essentially keeping track of the most current business practices, such as to who owes who money, and service. When the customer owes us money, we create an accounts receivable. When we owe money we create an accounts payable. When we pay cash before an expense we create a deferred expense account. There are key differences between the methods of accounting. In cash basis, taxable income may be deferred to the next year due to delays in billing. However, in accrual basis, the company might have to pay taxes on income before payment is received. Under the cash basis method, there is no company...

...Financial Statements Kevin Standring ACC 225 September 21 2012 GARRY KIRK Financial Statements There are four different financial statements. Each financial statement is used in different ways. Let us start with the Income Statement. This statement tells a company where and if it made money. Investors will use this statement when deciding if they would like to invest in a company or not. With this statement they will be able to tell if the company is likely to make a profit or lose it. Next you have a Statement of Owner’s Equity. This statement shows the changes in equity over a period of time. It starts with the initial investment and shows what changed the amount of equity such as an owner investing more money into the company or withdrawing more money. The information on in this statement is calculated and used on a balance sheet. This statement is very helpful to show where money was brought in and where it was taken out. This statement leads us to a Balance Sheet. A Balance sheet shows the different kinds of assets, liabilities and equities it also shows the amount of each. The balance sheet also shows how much cash flow a company has at the time of the report. Last but not least you have a Statement of Cash Flow. This statement shows the end cash flow after all the income is added together and all the bills get paid. This is important cause it shows you how much money you have at the end of the...

Those affected include potential investors and current stakeholders, including stockholders, employees, vendors and lenders. All of these people must be able to make business decisions based on information found in financial statements.

...MATTEL, Inc. BYP8-5 November 3, 2011 ACC 557 Jerry Mays Manhattan Company 1234 Long Lane Manhattan, New York 11131 November 3, 2011 Mr. Mays, I hope this letter finds you well. As the new auditor for the CPA firm of Croix, Marais, and Kale, I would like to offer some suggestions to your great company for your internal controls. When having a strong internal control system, the internal controls are established to perform the following: 1. “Safeguard its assets from employee theft, robbery, and unauthorized use. 2. Enhance the accuracy and reliability of its accounting records. This is done by reducing the risk of errors (unintentional mistakes) and irregularities (intentional mistakes and misrepresentations) in the accounting process” (Weygandt, Kimmel, Kieso, p.340, 2010). After reviewing some of your financial records and looking into your internal control system, they are some valuable suggestions I would like to recommend to your company. “Control is most effective when only one person is responsible for a given task (Weygandt, Kimmel, Kieso, p.341).” Your company possesses weakness in the following areas: establishment of responsibility (assign responsibility to specific employees) and segregation of duties (separation of duties) and documentation procedures. Your checks are properly endorsed; however, there should be a record of what checks are deposited. This way the accountant...

There is also a description of some issues the SEC must consider in order to adopt IFRS in the United States as well as a comparison of the rules regarding revenue recognition under IFRS versus GAAP. There is an explanation of the definitions Under IFRS for revenues and expenses, as well as an explanation of the competitive implications (both pros and cons) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Questions IFRS 2-1: In what ways does the format of a statement of financial position under IFRS often differ from a balance sheet presented under GAAP? The main difference between the formatting of IFRS and GAAP statement of financial of position and a GAAP balance sheet is the ordering of liquidity. IFRS does not require a particular order or any classification of accounts. It is common for companies to report assets in reverse liquidity under IFRS. Instead, GAAP specifies and requires all a company’s account be classified and ordered based on liquidity.

...Running head: Learning Team Reflection University of Phoenix ACC/290 Principles of Accounting I 04 November 2012 Learning Team Reflection – Week 3 This week, we have learned that accounting involves more than recording transactions and balancing accounts. Along with journalizing transactions and adjusting entries, the accounting cycle also involves closing entries and preparing a post-closing trial balance. We believe that the most important of the skills learned when we are in an accounting position is to understand the basic accounting equation, assets + liabilities + stockholder’s equity. Most accounting concepts all go back to this equation as the basis for balancing accounts when transactions are journalized in them. There are two types of accounting methods used to maintain financial records and prepare reports: accrual and cash basis accounting. Accrual basis accounting is the method that is accepted under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This principle holds that accounting transactions are recognized and recorded when the expense or revenue actually occurred, not when cash changes hands (James, 2012). The benefit of accrual basis accounting is that expenses and revenues can be matched as they happen, which is much more effective for monitoring cash flow (Epstein, n.d.). Accrual accounting has a more complex recording process than cash basis accounting and...
