  • Financing Your Small Business
    Jim Green Outline Importance of cash flow Creating a cash budget Managing your cash in and out Finding cash in your business Help is available Cash Flow Cash flow is the net amount of cash and equivalents moving into and out of a business. Positive cash flow indicates that a company's liquid assets are increasing, enabling it to settle debts, reinvest in its business, return money to shareholders, pay expenses and provide a buffer against future financial challenges. Negative cash flow indicates that a company's liquid assets are decreasing. Net cash flow is distinguished from net income, which includes accounts receivable and other items for which payment has not actually been received. Cash flow is used to assess the quality of a company's income. Cash and Profits Cash ≠ profits. Profit is the difference between a company’s total revenue and total expenses. Cash is the money that is free and readily available to use. Cash flow measures a company’s liquidity and its ability to pay its bills. Sources and Uses of Cash Sources Uses Cash payments (sales) Payroll Accounts Receivable Inventory purchases Other income (i.e., Utilities investments) Rent Borrowing Insurance Supplies Loan payments Taxes Cash Flow Statements The statement of cash flows is one of the main financial statements. (The other financial statements are the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of stockholders' equity.) The cash flow statement reports the cash generated and used during the time interval specified in its heading.

  • Accrual Vs. Cash Accounting
    Accrual vs Cash One of the first steps in setting up an accurate accounting system is selecting a method of recording transactions. The two most common methods are the cash basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting.

  • Governmental Accounting
    SECTION I--GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING MEASUREMENT FOCUS BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (MFBA) Traditionally, governments have used essentially the same accounting as private-sector businesses for their proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service funds) and similar trust funds (nonexpendable and pension trust funds). In both cases, the measurement focus of the operating statement has been on the changes in economic resources (changes in total net position). Such changes have been recognized as soon as the underlying event or transaction has occurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flow – the accrual basis of accounting. Thus, under GASB 34, proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service funds) and fiduciary funds recognize revenues as soon as they are earned and expenses as soon as a liability is incurred, just like private-sector businesses. Governments have always taken a very different approach, however, in accounting for their governmental funds and expendable trust funds. The measurement focus here has been on changes in current financial resources. Additionally, changes in current financial resources have only been recognized to the extent that they normally are expected to have an impact upon near-term cash flows (modified accrual basis of accounting). Therefore, in addition to being earned, the inflows of expendable financial resources must also be available to pay for current period liabilities before it can be recognized as revenue. Likewise, in several cases (interest payable, compensated absences) no expenditure is recognized in a governmental fund for future outflows of financial resources that does not represent a use of current financial resources. This unique MFBA for governmental funds is reminiscent of fund accounting’s historical link with checkbook accounting (funds originally developed out of separate checking accounts) and is consistent with the near-term financing focus that typically characterizes a government’s operating budget.

  • Governmental Accounting
    SECTION I--GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING Fund Accounting Statute indicates resources which a school is permitted to receive and expressly and/or implicitly states the purposes for which those resources may be used. The accounting system used by a school should provide for legal compliance; that is, resources are received and spent according to law. For this reason, schools have evolved a means of indicating legal compliance by use of “fund accounting.” The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has defined the term “fund” as follows: A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein, which are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. The diverse nature of a school’s operations and the necessity of determining legal compliance preclude a single set of accounts for recording and summarizing all the financial transactions. Instead, the required accounts are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is completely independent of any other. Each fund must be so accounted for that the identity of its resources, obligations, revenues, expenditures, and fund equities is continually maintained. These purposes are accomplished by providing a complete self-balancing set of accounts for each fund which shows its assets, liabilities, fund balances or net position, revenues and expenditures/expenses. An account is defined as a formal record of a particular type of transaction. A group of accounts comprises a ledger.

Also, many stakeholders are following the implementation of the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small- and Medium-Sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs) around the world as its use continues to expand and its implications for the U.S. marketplace continue to grow. As such, these stakeholders are interested in understanding how the principles and criteria included in the FRF for SMEs accounting framework compare to those other bases of accounting. To assist those stakeholders, comparisons of the FRF for SMEs accounting framework to (1) the tax basis, (2) U.S. GAAP, and (3) IFRS for SMEs are presented on the following pages. These comparisons are not all inclusive. Rather, the following comparisons are made at a high level and are intended to draw attention to differences between the FRF for SMEs accounting framework and the other bases of accounting on certain accounting and financial reporting matters.
