Explanation:
What is an Account?
The term "account" is used often in this tutorial. Thus, we need to understand what it is before we proceed. In accounting, an account is a descriptive storage unit used to collect and store information of similar nature.
For example, "Cash".
Cash is an account that stores all transactions that involve cash receipts and cash payments. All cash receipts are recorded as increases in "Cash" and all payments are recorded as deductions in the same account.
Another example, "Building". Suppose a company acquires a building and pays in cash. That transaction would be recorded in the "Building" account for the acquisition of the building and a reduction in the "Cash" account for the payment made.
Now, let's take a look at the accounting elements.
Assets
Assets refer to resources owned and controlled by the entity as a result of past transactions and events, from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. In simple terms, assets are properties or rights owned by the business. They may be classified as current or non-current.
A. Current assets – Assets are considered current if they are held for the purpose of being traded, expected to be realized or consumed within twelve months after the end of the period or its normal operating cycle (whichever is longer), or if it is cash. Examples of current asset accounts are:
Cash and Cash Equivalents – bills, coins, funds for current purposes, checks, cash in bank, etc.
Receivables – Accounts Receivable (receivable from customers), Notes Receivable (receivables supported by promissory notes), Rent Receivable, Interest Receivable, Due from Employees (or Advances to Employees), and other claims
• Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – This is a valuation account which shows the estimated uncollectible amount of accounts receivable. It is a contra-asset account and is presented as a deduction to the related asset – accounts receivable.
Inventories – assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business
Prepaid expenses – expenses paid in advance, such as, Prepaid Rent, Prepaid Insurance, Prepaid Advertising, and Office Supplies
B. Non-current assets – Assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified as current. Hence, they are long-term in nature – useful for a period longer that 12 months or the company's normal operating cycle. Examples of non-current asset accounts include:
Long-term investments – investments for long-term purposes such as investment in stocks, bonds, and properties; and funds set up for long-term purposes
Land – land area owned for business operations (not for sale)
Building – such as office building, factory, warehouse, or store
Equipment – Machinery, Furniture and Fixtures (shelves, tables, chairs, etc.), Office Equipment, Computer Equipment, Delivery Equipment, and others
• Accumulated Depreciation – This is a valuation account which represents the decrease in value of a fixed asset due to continued use, wear & tear, passage of time, and obsolescence. It is a contra-asset account and is presented as a deduction to the related fixed asset.
Intangibles – long-term assets with no physical substance, such as goodwill, patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
Other long-term assets
Liabilities
Liabilities are economic obligations or payables of the business.
Company assets come from 2 major sources – borrowings from lenders or creditors, and contributions by the owners. The first refers to liabilities; the second to capital.
Liabilities represent claims by other parties aside from the owners against the assets of a company.
Like assets, liabilities may be classified as either current or non-current.
A. Current liabilities – A liability is considered current if it is due within 12 months after the end of the balance sheet date. In other words, they are expected to be paid in the next year.
If the company's normal operating cycle is longer than 12 months, a liability is considered current if it is due within the operating cycle.
Current liabilities include:
Trade and other payables – such as Accounts Payable, Notes Payable, Interest Payable, Rent Payable, Accrued Expenses, etc.
Current provisions – estimated short-term liabilities that are probable and can be measured reliably
Short-term borrowings – financing arrangements, credit arrangements or loans that are short-term in nature
Current-portion of a long-term liability – the portion of a long-term borrowing that is currently due.
Example: For long-term loans that are to be paid in annual installments, the portion to be paid next year is considered current liability; the rest, non-current.
Current tax liabilities – taxes for the period and are currently payable
B. Non-current liabilities – Liabilities are considered non-current if they are not currently payable, i.e. they are not due within the next 12 months after the end of the accounting period or the company's normal operating cycle.
