To prepare financial statements from single-entry records requires reconstructing missing information from various sources.

SINGLE-ENTRY
METHOD OF
ACCOUNTING
CONTENT
 Definition and characteristics
 Financial records

 Conversion from cash basis to accrual basis

 Financial statements preparation


DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS
 System of recordkeeping wherein the two-
fold effects of the activities are not taken up
all the time
1. only the value received or to be
received is recorded
2. both the value received and the value
given are simultaneously recorded but
not all the time
DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS
 Under this system, there are incomplete
records
 In a typical single-entry system, records are
kept only for activities related to:
1. cash

2. receivables

3. payables

4. proprietorship
DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS
 Not all activities are taken up in the financial
records thus:
1. most of the time, only one effect of the
transaction is recognized
2. a trial balance prepared from a ledger
under a single-entry system would not
balance because of the incomplete
entries and postings
DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS
 Preparation of financial statements from the
records kept under the single-entry system
requires considerable reconstruction and
analytical work
FINANCIAL RECORDS
 Ledger
 Cashbook – to keep track of all cash
transactions
 Daybook or Memorandum Book – to narrate
important non-cash events and transactions
like:
1. sales and purchases on account

2. investments and withdrawals by the


owner of assets other than cash
FINANCIAL RECORDS
3. acquisitions of fixed assets on account
4. returns and allowances not involving
cash refunds
5. commitments entered into, and orders
made or accepted
6. settlements of receivables and
payables in the form of assets other
than cash
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARATION
 In single-entry system, there is no trial balance
that will serve as a basis for the preparation
of the financial statements
 Since the records are incomplete, a
Statement of Assets and Liabilities is prepared
with the use of information drawn from
various sources and records
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARATION
 The basic steps in the preparation of the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities are:
1. draw up a list of all assets of the
business as of the statement date
2. draw up a list of all liabilities as of the
statement date
3. determine the owner’s equity as of the
statement date
