Module Guide:
Accounting (Definition)
- is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about economic entities, that is intended to be useful in making economic
decisions. (Accounting Standards Council Accounting)
- is the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are in part at least of a financial character and
interpreting the results thereof. (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants)
- is the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information to permit informed judgment by users of the information. ( American Accounting
Association)
NOTE: Only accountable events are recognized. An accountable event is one that affects any of the elements of the financial statements (i.e. Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income,
or Expenses). Non-accountable events are not recognized but disclosed only in the notes, if they have accounting relevance.
Journalizing
Transactions to be reported in the books of accounts should be supported by documents (known as source documents). The economic transactions based on the supporting documents are
chronologically recorded with explanations in the general journal (or special journal).
NOTE: The General Journal is also called the Book of Original Entry because it is in this book where transactions are recorded for the first time.
NOTE: This is an optional process. The trial balance is prepared to test the balance of debit and credit totals, but not the accuracy of the accounts in the accounting records.

Accrued Expense xx
2. Deferrals
a. Precollected Income (Unearned Income) – income already collected but not yet earned.
i. Income Method – an income account is credited for the receipt of the income.
AJE: Income xx

ii. Liability Method – a liability account is credited for the receipt of the income.

Prepaid Expense xx
NOTE: The adjusting journal entry that you will prepare as regards adjustments on deferrals depends on the method of recording the precollection or prepayment.
NOTE: Your textbook introduces the Straight line Method of computing for the Depreciation Expense.
NOTE: Although financial statements can be prepared directly from open balances of the general ledger accounts, it is preferable that the accounts in the financial statements
are taken form the working paper because they should only contain adjusted accounts.
NOTE: The post-closing trial balance is actually a balance sheet in a trial balance form.
NOTE: Reversing entries are made on adjusting entries for accruals, expense method of prepayments, and income methods of precollections.
