What to Focus On

  • Accounting principles are accepted rules of accounting.
  • They are also called Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
  • They help in meaningful presentation of transactions.
  • Business Entity Concept treats the business as separate from the owner.
  • Going Concern Concept assumes the business will continue for a long time.
  • Money Measurement Concept records only money-measurable transactions.
  • Business and owner are separate for accounting.
  • Owner’s capital is a liability of the firm.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A business and its owner are the same for accounting purposes.

All transactions and events must be recorded in accounts, even if they cannot be measured in money.

A business should record assets at their market value every year because market value is the real value.
