What to Focus On

  • GAAP is also called concepts, conventions, postulates, assumptions, and modifying principles.
  • Reliable and comparable financial statements need consistent accounting policies.

  • Basic accounting concepts are the foundation of accounting practice.
  • They are broad working rules used in financial accounting.
  • Each concept solves a specific accounting problem, such as measurement, timing, or disclosure.

  • Business and owner are treated as two separate entities.
  • Capital is a liability of the business to the owner.
