1.2 Characteristics and Assumptions of Accounting Information
Accounting Information Characteristics
For accounting information to meet its objective of providing useful information, certain characteristics
or rules must be respected:
•
Relevance
o
Information is considered relevant if it can influence a decision.
o
Material Amounts
▪
If a transaction involves an amount that is significantly low such that it cannot affect a decision,
these amounts are considered immaterial and not relevant.
▪
Only material amounts can affect a decision.
•
Faithful Representation
o
The information provided in the financial statements must reflect the actual condition of the
business, not merely was is legally visible.
o
Information must be complete, neutral (unbiased), and free from material error.
•
Comparability
o
The financial statements of a company must be comparable to previous years’ statements, as
well as the statements of other companies, this is achieved by using similar and consistent
accounting methods.
•
Verifiability
o
Information presented in the financial statements is verifiable if independent accountants can
agree on the nature and amount of the accounts and transactions.
•
Timeliness
o
Information should be made available to decision makers in time to be considered, otherwise
it is irrelevant.
•
Understandability
o
The quality of the information that enables users to comprehend its meaning. Clear and
concise classification and presentation of information enhances this characteristic.
•
The Cost Constraint
o
The cost of producing the financial information should be less than the benefit it will
contribute to the organization.

11
Accounting Assumptions
In addition to the characteristics used in creating the financial statements, there are 4 assumptions
when reading a company’s financial records:
•
The Separate-Entity Assumption
o
This assumption states that the activities of the business must be accounted for separately
from the activities of its owners.
▪
Mark should not use the company credit card to rent a car on his family vacation.
•
The Unit of Measure Assumption
o
This assumption states that accounting information is reported in the national currency.
•
The Continuity Assumption (Going Concern)
o
This assumption states that a business is assumed to continue to operate for the foreseeable
future.
•
The Historical Cost Principle
o
Assets are required to be reported in the books at the historical (original) cost that was paid
for the asset, ignore market value.
▪
A building was purchased in 1989 for $50,000; although this building can be sold today for
$450,000, in the company’s books it will remain reported at $50,000.

CHAPTER 4
ADJUSTING-ENTRIES AND THE
YEAR-END PROCESS
4.1 Accrual Basis vs Cash Basis Accounting
Accrual Basis Accounting
•
Recognizes revenues when the
y are earned
•
Recognizes expenses when they incurred or used
•
This method is the widely used in financial accounting as it is required under IFRS and GAAP
Cash Basis Accounting
•
Recognizes revenues when cash is received
•
Recognizes expenses when cash is paid
•
This method is mainly used by small businesses and personal finance
The Fiscal Year
Unlike the calendar year, a company can choose their year on any day of the year. The fiscal year
represents a year for tax and accounting purposes.
•
Can be any day of the year but companies should be consistent
each year
•
All accounts must be up to date at the end of the fiscal year
•
Adjusting journal entries and financial statements are prepared
on the last day of the fiscal year

4.2 Adjusting Journal Entries
What is an Adjusting Entry?
•
Prepared at the end of an accounting period
•
Record revenues and expenses that have occurred but have not yet been recorded.
Contra-Assets
•
Related to, and subtracted from, another asset.
•
Accounts that are classified as assets but carry a negative balance.
o
This means that as the contra-asset increases in value, the related asset decreases in
value.
•
There are 2 contra-assets to get to know:
o
Accumulated depreciation: decreases the value of a long-term fixed asset.
o
Allowance for doubtful accounts: decreases the value of accounts receivables.
SOS TIP
Adjusting journal entries never contain the cash account!

4.3 Financial Statements
Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet)
The balance sheet, also known as the
statement of financial position
, is the third of the four
major financial statements. It is an important tool used by investors and other stakeholders to get
a good look at the company's operations.
•
It is a
snapshot
at a single point in time
of the company's assets, liabilities, and
shareholders' equity.
•
Gives interested parties an idea of the company's financial position.

Probabilities of not collecting are determined by the company and are different for every
company.

Example: Bank Reconciliation
The cash account for SOS Corp shows a ledger balance of $2,946.90. on June 30, 2021. The bank
statement as at that date indicates a balance of $3,412.50. When the statement was compared with
the cash records, the following was found:
▪
The company was charged $50 in service fees in April.
▪
Outstanding cheques totalled $895.60.
▪
The bank incorrectly charges the company’s account the monthly service charge
twice.
▪
Upon reviewing the bank statement, the company noticed it had received a $1,000 e-transfer
from a customer. The money was automatically deposited into the company’s account.
▪
The company earned $70 of interest during the month on its bank balance.
▪
The bank statement included a memo from the bank stating that a $300 cheque received from
a customer had been returned as NSF.
▪
In reviewing the company’s general ledger, the manager noticed that the bookkeeper had
incorrectly recorded a cash sale as $100, when it was in fact $1,000.
▪
On June 30
th
in the afternoon, a sale was made to a customer for $2,000. The customer paid by
cheque, but the manager did not have time to deposit it before the end of the day, the cheque
will be deposited on July 1

7.3 Inventory Costing Methods
First In, First Out (FIFO)
•
Inventory sold in the order it is purchased, in other words the
oldest units are sold first
.
•
COGS is the sum of the cost of the individual units given to the customer.
•
Perpetual and Periodic have same results.
Weighted Average Method
•
Inventory is not sold in a particular meaningful order.
•
COGS is based on the weighted-average cost of all the inventory on hand.
•
Perpetual and Periodic do not have the same results:
o
Periodic: A single weighted-average cost is computed at the end of the period and used
for all calculations.
o
Perpetual: Weighted-average cost changes as more inventory is purchased at different
prices.
Weighted-Average Cost Formula
Cost of goods available for sale
Units Available for Sale
Specific Identification Method
In this method, the cost of each item sold is individually identified and recorded as the cost of sale.
Typically, this method is used for very expensive products like aircrafts, yachts, buildings, fine art, etc.

7.4 Inventory Impairment
Companies must always report their inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV). This
means that if inventory can realistically be sold for more than its cost, then it would be recorded at
cost, but if the net realizable value falls below cost, an adjustment must be made to write down the
inventory’s value.
