  • A73 Cash Basis Accounting
    World A73 Cash Basis Accounting Net Change with new Cash Basis Accounting program: The following table lists the enhancements that have been made to the Cash Basis Accounting program as of A7.3 cum 15 and A8.1 cum 6. CHANGE EXPLANATION AND BENEFIT Batch Type Previously cash basis batches were assigned a batch type of ‘G’. Now cash basis batches have a batch type of ‘CB’, making it easier to distinguish cash basis batches from general ledger batches. Batch Creation Previously, if creating cash basis entries for all eligible transactions, all cash basis entries would be created in one batch. Now cash basis entries will be in separate batches based on a one-to-one batch ratio with the originating AA ledger batch. For example, if cash basis entries were created from 5 separate AA ledger batches, there will be 5 resulting AZ ledger batches. This will make it simpler to track posting issues as well as alleviate problems inquiring on cash basis entries where there were potential duplicate document numbers/types within the same batch. Batch Number Previously cash basis batch numbers were unique in relation to the AA ledger batch that corresponded to the cash basis entries. Now the cash basis batch number will match the original AA ledger batch, making it easier to track and audit cash basis entries in relation to the originating transactions. Credit Note Prior to A7.3 cum 14/A8.1 cum 4, the option to assign a document type Reimbursement other than PA to the voucher generated for reimbursement did not exist.

  • Workflow and Process Control – Charles Hoffman, Cpa
    MASTERING XBRL-BASED DIGITAL FINANCIAL REPORTING – PART 3: WORKING WITH DIGITAL FINANCIAL REPORTS – WORKFLOW AND PROCESS CONTROL – CHARLES HOFFMAN, CPA 1. Workflow and Process Control The purpose of this section is to discuss the workflow and process control related to the creation of XBRL-based digital financial reports. A financial report is the end of a process from the perspective of a reporting entity. That is exactly correct from the perspective of a reporting entity. But, from the perspective of a financial analyst that is making use of the reported information, the financial report is the beginning of a process. Perspective matters. What we are working with here is not a “silo”, rather it is more of a “chain”. This section shows you how you create an XBRL-based digital financial report. Many times, reports will be automatically generated from an accounting system. 1.1. Workflow Basics Per Wikipedia, workflow is defined as, “A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of activity, enabled by the systematic organization of resources into processes that transform materials, provide services, or process information.1” From a computer science perspective, workflow is “The computerised facilitation or automation of a business process, in whole or part2”. From a computer science perspective, workflow is concerned with the automation of procedures where documents, information or tasks are passed between participants according to a defined set of rules to achieve, or contribute to, an overall business goal.” Workflow is often associated with Business Process Management, which is concerned with the assessment, analysis, modelling, definition and subsequent operational implementation of the core business processes of an organisation (or other business entity).

  • Basic Accounting Terminology: • Event: a Happening Or Consequence
    GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING All those involved in the oversight or management of government operations, and those whose livelihood and interest rely on the finances of local governments, need to have a clear understanding of governmental accounting, auditing, and financial reporting which are based on a sound set of principles and interrelated practices and procedures. Accounting, financial reporting, and the financial statement audit provide the informational infrastructure of public finance. Accountability: Term used by GASB to describe a government’s duty to justify the raising and spending of public resources. The GASB has identified accountability as the “paramount objective” of financial reporting “from which all other objectives must flow”. Accounting and financial reporting (primarily the responsibility of management) are complementary rather than identical. Accounting: The process of assembling, analyzing, classifying, and recording data relevant to a government’s finances. Financial reporting: “Accounting” and “financial reporting” are similar but distinctly different terms that are often used together. The process of taking the information thus assembled, analyzed, classified, and recorded and providing it in usable form to those who need it. Financial reporting can take one of three forms: internal financial reporting (management reports), special purpose financial reporting (outside parties), and general purpose external financial reporting (GPEFR). The nationally recognized standards that govern GPEFR are known as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). 1 Display: The display method of communication provides that items are reported as dollar amounts on the face of the financial statements if they both 1) meet the definition of one of the seven financial statement elements and 2) can be reliably measured.

  • Special Journals
    SPECIAL JOURNALS Special journals are used to make recording and posting frequently occurring transactions more efficient. Special journals are customized to fit the needs of each business. Special journals are made up of “special” columns labeled with account titles for accounts used in frequently occurring transactions. All special journals also include an “Other” or “Sundry” column that is used to hold accounts and amounts for items that do not fit in the special columns. When using a special journal system, analyze transactions as normal and record the transaction in the appropriate journal as discussed below. Posting from special journals occurs differently from the General Journal. Any amounts affecting a customer or creditor are posted immediately from the special journal to the appropriate account in the Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable subsidiary ledger. A check mark is placed in the Post Reference column of the journal to indicate this amount has been posted to the customer or creditor account. Any amounts in the Other column are posted immediately to the account written in the account title column. The account number is placed in the post reference column to show this amount has been posted. Special columns are posted at the end of the month as a column total. Account numbers are placed under each column total in parentheses to indicate that these amounts have been posted. A check mark is placed under the Other column total to indicate that this amount has already been posted (when the individual amounts were posted). POSTING ORDER OF JOURNALS In order to avoid negative balances, the following order of posting column totals is recommended: Purchases Sales/Revenue Cash Receipts Cash Payments MORE ABOUT SPECIAL JOURNALS Four special journals are generally used—Purchases Journal, Revenue/Sales Journal, Cash Receipts Journal and Cash Payments Journal.

  • Growing Pains at Groupon
    ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION American Accounting Association Vol. 29, No. 1 DOI: 10.2308/iace-50595 2014 pp. 229–245 Growing Pains at Groupon Saurav K. Dutta, Dennis H. Caplan, and David J. Marcinko ABSTRACT: On November 4, 2011, Groupon Inc. went public with an initial market capitalization of $13 billion. The business was formed a couple of years earlier as an offshoot of ‘‘The Point.’’ The business grew rapidly and increased its reported revenue from $14.5 million in 2009 to $1.6 billion in 2011. Soon after going public, prior to its announcement of its first-quarter results, the company’s auditors required Groupon to disclose a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting that impacted its disclosures on revenue and its estimation of returns. This case uses Groupon to motivate discussion of financial reporting issues in e- commerce businesses. Specifically, the case focuses on (1) revenue recognition practices for ‘‘agency’’ type e-commerce businesses, (2) accounting for sales with a right of return for new products, and (3) use of alternative financial metrics to better convey the intrinsic value of a business. The case requires students to critically read, analyze, and apply authoritative accounting guidance, and to read and analyze communications between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the registrant. Keywords: Groupon; revenue recognition; allowance for sales returns; e-commerce; non-GAAP metrics. GROWING PAINS AT GROUPON s an undergraduate music major at Northwestern University, Andrew Mason eagerly sought a version of rock music that would fuse punk with the Beatles and Cat Stevens.

Use the steps as a reference to insure that journal entries, trial balances and financial statements are prepared in the proper order. Accrual Basis Accounting: Accrual vs. Cash Basis Accounting Revenue Recognition Principle requires that revenues are reported in the period in which they are earned, regardless of when payment is received. Matching Principle requires that all expenses incurred (whether paid or not) are recorded in the same accounting period as the revenues earned as a result of these expenses. Adjusting Entries: Accrued revenues and accrued expenses Deferred revenues and deferred expenses Unbilled vs. unearned revenues Closing Process: Records the current year’s net income and dividends in retained earnings and zeros-out the balance in all revenue, expense and dividend accounts at year-end. Revenue and expense account balances are transferred into the Income Summary account. The balance in the income summary represents net income (revenues minus expenses) which is then transferred into retained earnings. Dividends are transferred directly into retained earnings, bypassing the income summary because dividends are not part of the calculation of net income and do not appear on the income statement.

  • General Ledger Vs General Journal: What Is the Difference?
    What’s The Difference Between General Ledger and General Journal? General Ledger Vs General Journal: What Is The Difference? When it comes to business finances, using a double-entry system that makes use of both a general ledger and a general journal is the best method for checking overall statistics and keeping things running smoothly and profitably. But to understand how a double-entry accounting system, or double-entry bookkeeping works, it is first necessary to understand the different functions associated with the general ledger and the general journal. https://planergy.com/blog/general-ledger-vs-general-journal/ 1 / 6 The General Ledger The general ledger, also known as the book of second entry. It is used to track assets, liabilities, owner capital, revenues, and expenses. It is a book or file used to record all relevant accounts. Each account is a two-columns in a T shaped table where the book taper typically places the account title at the top of the T while recording that debit entries on the left side and credit entries on the right. Sometimes, you’ll find that the general ledger displays additional columns for particulars such as a description of the transaction, serial number, and date. Transactions from general journals are posted in the general ledger accounts and then balances are calculated and transferred from the general ledger to a trial balance. You also use it to create the chart of accounts, or the list of all the accounts used in the organization’s general ledger. The act of recording a transaction in the ledger is called posting.

  • JOURNAL ENTRIES What Is a Journal Entry?
    JOURNAL ENTRIES What is a journal entry? A journal entry is a logging of a transaction into an accounting journal. Each line of a transaction recorded is either a debit or a credit. The total amount for the debits must equal the total amount for the credits. While most entries are generated automatically in QuickBooks from writing checks, entered deposits, receiving payments, etc., there are a few times why you need to do some of your own accounting using journal entries. Example of when we use journal entries: To set up opening balances in accounts. To reassign accounts. Example: You may start out tracking income in one account, but decide you want to divide income into 2 different accounts. To move income from one account to another, you would use a journal entry to debit the income for the first account and credit it to the second. To correct account assignments. You can reassign or reclass an expense to another expense account using a journal entry. To reassign classes. You can transfer income and expense from one class to another using a journal entry. To depreciate assets. You decrease the value of an asset account each year that you own a depreciable asset. Record pre-paid payroll and labor distribution Record pre-paid expenses. You can record a monthly assignment of the expense using a journal entry. Record liability for assessment. Record year-end transactions. 1 Balancing Debits and Credits If you increase the amount in one account, you have to decrease it in another. A journal entry transaction must balance.
