Rules for accounting for specific events sometimes differ

across countries. For example, IFRS companies rely less on

historical cost and more on fair value than U.S. companies.

Despite the differences, the double-entry accounting system is

the basis of accounting systems worldwide.

Both the IASB and FASB go beyond the basic definitions

provided in this textbook for the key elements of financial

statements, that is, assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and

expenses. The more substantive definitions, using the FASB

definitional structure, are provided in the Chapter 1

“Understanding U.S. GAAP” section.


Understanding U.S. GAAPUnderstanding U.S. GAAP

Key Differences

44

A trial balance under GAAP follows the same format as shown

in the textbook.

In the United States, equity is often referred to as either

shareholders’ equity or stockholders’ equity, and Share Capital

—Ordinary is referred to as Common Stock. The statement of

financial position is often called the balance sheet in the United

States.


Key Differences The Recording Process

45

Looking to the Future


The basic recording process shown in this textbook is followed by

companies across the globe. It is unlikely to change in the future.

The definitional structure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues,

and expenses may change over time as the IASB and FASB

evaluate their overall conceptual framework for establishing

accounting standards.
