Chapter1 Basis of accounting
Basis of accounting
1, different types of businesses
Sole trader
One person owns and runs the business.
The sole trader and the business are legally the same entity and therefore the sole trader
is personally liable for any business debts.
Partnership
Two or more persons owns and runs the business.
The partners and the business are legally the same entity and therefore the partners are
jointly liable for any business debts.
Limited liability company
Shareholders and a number of appointed directors own and run the business.
A company is a legal entity in its own right, and therefore the shareholders only have
limited liability for any business debts.
2, Different Types of accounts
Management accounts
These are producedwhen a business wants them. They are produced for internal use and
will not, usually be seen by external people. Management accounts can be prepared using
the company’s own internal policies.
Financial accounts
These accounts are usually produced annually. They are based on historical information
and are rarely used internally. Financial accounts are used by external users for several
reasons:
-Investors
-Lenders
-Employees
-Government
-Public

Chapter 2 How can we prepare financial statements?
double bookkeeping
statement of financial position & statement of profit or loss
Step1: transaction and source document
Step2: books of prime entry
Step3: ledger & balance off the account
Step4: trial balance
Step5: year end adjustment journal
Step6: FS(SOFP & P/L)
12
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Step 1: Source of documents
Quotation.A business makes a written offer to a customer to produce or deliver goods or
servicesfor a certain amount of money.
Sales Order Note. A customer writes out or signs an order for goods or services he
requires.
Purchase Order Note. A business orders from another business goods or services, such
as material supplies.
Goods received note. A list of goods that a business has received from a supplier. This is
usually prepared by the business’s own warehouse or goods receiving area.
Goods dispatched note. A list of goods that a business has sent out to a customer.
Invoice. The invoice is a request for the customer to pay what he owes.
When a business sells goods or services on credit to a customer, it sends out an invoice. The
details on the invoice should match the details on the sales order.
When a business buys goods or services on credit it receives an invoice from the supplier.
The details on the invoice should match the details on the purchase order.
Statement of account.A document sent out by a supplier to a customer listing all invoices,
credit notes and payments received from the customer showing how much the customer
still needs to pay for supplier.
Debit note.
A document sent by a customer to a supplier in respect of goods returned or an
overpayment made. It is a formal request for the supplier to issue a credit note.
In simple words, for customer, “please give me money.”
Credit note.
A document sent by a supplier to a customer in respect of goods returned or overpayments
made by the customer. It is a ‘negative’ invoice.
A creditnote is issued in various situations to correct a mistake, such as when
(1) aninvoice amount is overstated,
(2) correctdiscount rate is not applied,
(3) they do not meet the buyer's specifications and are returned.
In simple words, for supplier, “I’ll give you money.”
13
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Remittance advice
A document sent to a supplier alongside any payment sent to them. It details which
invoices are being made.
In the real practice, the supplier sent you the invoice telling you how much you should pay
and after the payment you can send them back a remittance advice telling them about the
payment information:
Account Number :
Currency:
Invoice Number :
Invoice Amount:
Receipt.A written confirmation that money has been paid. This is usually in respect of cash
sales, eg a till receipt from a cash register.
NOTE:
Data about sales transactions recorded in an accounting system comes from:
1,sales invoice
2,credit notes
3,payments by customers(cheque or remittance advice)
4,receipts(seller’s copy) in cash sales
Data about purchase transactions recorded in an accounting system comes
from:
1,purchase invoice
2,credit note
3,payments to suppliers(cheque or remittance advice)
4,receipts(purcahser’s copy) in cash purchases
14
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Step 2, Books of prime entry
Main business transactions are summarised into books of prime entry for later posting to
the ledgers.
Why?
We can use journals to record all business transactions but the volume is HUGE
especially for big companies.
Then what we do is to post all trasnactions into the books and only record the total
figure from each books to ledger account.
The common books of prime entry and the types of transaction recorded in them are:
Sales Day Book (SDB) Records credit sales to customers
Sales Returns Day Book (SRDB) Records the return of credit sales
Purchases Day Book (PDB) Records credit purchases from suppliers
Purchases Returns Day Book (PRDB) Records the return of credit purchases
Cash Payments Book (CPB) Records all payments made at the bank
Cash Receipts Book (CRB) Records all receipts made at the bank
Petty Cash Book Records all receipts and payments ofcash in hand
Journal Other transactions (Depreciation etc)

Step3,post to Ledger
All SFP elements such as ASSETS, LIABILITIES, EQUITY would have a closing balance
carried forward to next year’s opening balance.
But P/L elements such as income and expense would not have a closing balance.
Examples of accounts included in the nominal ledger:
•Plant and machinery at cost (non-current asset)
• Motor vehicles at cost (non-current asset)
• Plant and machinery, provision for depreciation (liability)
• Motor vehicles, provision for depreciation (liability)
• Proprietor's capital (liability)
• Inventory – raw materials (current asset)
• Inventory – finished goods (current asset)
• Total receivables (current asset) often called sales ledger control account
• Total payables (current liability) often called purchase ledger control account
• Wages and salaries (expense item)
• Rent (expense item)
• Advertising expenses (expense item)
• Bank charges (expense item)
• Motor expenses (expense item)
• Telephone expenses (expense item)
• Sales (income)
• Total cash or bank overdraft (current asset or liability) often called cash control
account
• Petty cash (current asset)

Since we’ve looked at how to prepare the financial statements and the petty cash book
we can then have a detailed look at the “imprest system concept” within the petty cash
book.
In practical world, we always need to keep a float amount of money within the business
so that we can use these money to buy bits and pieces, eg, biscuits whenever we want
without withdrawing from the bank each time.
So for the imprest system: (3steps/characteristics)
Step1: decide the float amount:$100;
Step2: receipt will be recorded in petty cash book as $100; payment for expenditure
will be recorded in petty cash book as well and any expenditure and receipt must have
a voucher. float amount=cash in tin +vouchers
$100 = $90 + $10
Step3: The amount used is restored on a regular basis to the float amount.
DR petty cash $10
CR Bank $10

1,sales day book
2,journal
3,norminal ledger
4,cash book
A:all of the above
B:1,3&4
C:1,2&4
D:2,3&4

Journals are used to record all business transactions and hence yes.
3,Jenny uses the imprest method of accounting for petty cash. She counted the petty
cash and there was $66 in hand(petty cash tin).
There were also the following petty cash vouchers/receipts:
$
Sundry purchases 22
Loan to sales manager 10
Purchase of staff drinks 19
Sundry sales receipts 47
What is Jenny’s imprest amount?
A: $164
B: $50
C: $62
D: $70
21
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Answer: D
Imprest=maximum limit of petty cash to keep
Imprest system ?
Sundry purchases (22)
Loan (10)
Staff drinks purchase (19)
Receipts from customers(sundry) 47
Cash in hand 66
So: 66 -47 +19+10+22=70
4, Johnkeeps his petty cash records using an imprest system. The total petty cash float
is made up monthly to $450. During the month of January, the following expenses were
paid from petty cash:
Milk: $52
Postage stamps: $100
Window cleaner: $50
By mistakes the milk was recorded as $25 and as a result a cheque for $175 was
written to top up the petty cash float. The error made will result in the following:
A: an understatement of expenses of $27 and the petty cash balance being $75 less
than it should be.
B:an understatement of expenses of $27 and the petty cash closing balance being $27
less than it should be.
C:an imbalance in the trial balance of $27 and the petty cash balance being $27 less
than it should be.
D:an imbalance in the trial balance of $95 and the petty cash balance being $75 less
than it should be.
Answer: B
Correct:
Amount left= 450-52-100-50=248
So money should be drawn from bank: 450-248=202 (DR petty cash)
Wrong:
Amount left= 450-25(mistakes)-100-50=275
So money should be drawn from bank: 450-275=175 (DR petty cash)
So:
22
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Closing balance of petty cash: (amount left): 275-248=27more
Expense(milk): 25-52=27 (understate)
Trial balance: [C&D say imbalance are not correct!]
Correct situation:
DR CR
Petty cash 450
Bank 652(450+52+100+50)
Milk 52

The following totals appear in the day books for March 2013.
Opening and closing inventories are both $3,000.
The gross profit for March 2013 is ........................................
Answer:
Sales (40,000-2,000(return inwards)) 38,000
Cost of sale
Opening inventory 3000
Purchases 20,000 – 4000(return outwards)
Closing inventory (3000)
(16,000)
Gross profit 22,000
Gross profit is not net profit so we don’t need to consider the tax effect.
Return Outwards:
Faulty or wrong goods that the business returns back to suppliers
Record in purchase return day book. [DR note]
Explanation: when you return goods back to suppliers, the amount you owe them
reduces as you do not have to pay for the wrong items. You will also have to open a new
ledger account for return outwards.

Chapter3 Prepare the FS with incomplete records
Scenario: client may ask you to prepare the FS for them with the missing records, eg,
sales invoices are missing so that we can’t establish the credit sales; purchase invoices
are missing so that we cant establish the credit purchases for the year; closing
inventory is missing so that we can’t establish the gross profit.
The techniques to establish the missing records are: [ALP]
1, use accounting equation
2, use ledger accounts
3, use profit percentages
29
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Technique1, use accounting equation
Accounting equation:
Assets=liabilities+capital
So:
Assets-liabilities=capital
Net assets = opening capital+capitalintroduced+profit-drawings=closing capital
Missing profit:
Manny’s statement of financial position at 31 December 2011 shows that the business
has net assets of $5,000.
The statement of financial position at 31 December 2010 shows that the business has
net assets of $8,000.
Manny’s drawings for the year amounted to $2,500
She didn’t introduce any further capital in the year.
Required:
Calculate the profit for the year ended 31 December 2011.
Answer:
Op capital 5000
Capital introduced -
Profits [balancing] 5500
Drawings (2500)
Closing capital (net asset) 8000
30
Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C) www.globalapc.com
Technique2:, Use ledger accounts
1, credit sales are missing, use receivable control account
Opening balance on the trade receivables control account of Manny’s company was
$50,000.
there had been receipts from credit customers in the year of $45,000.
irrecoverable debts that have been written off equals to $5,000 and the closing balance
on the trade receivables control account was $55,000.
So what is the credit sales for the year?
Answer:
Way1:
DR receivable 50,000
Dr cash 45000 CR receivable 45000
DR P/L-irrecovable debt 5000 CR receivable 5000
SO: 50,000-45000-5000=0
But closing balance of receivable=55000 So it should be DR receivable 55000 CR sales 55000
Way2:
Or:
