What to Focus On

  • Accounting concepts are the foundation of accounting.
  • GAAP means Generally Accepted Accounting Principle.
  • The four main concepts are business entity, money measurement, going concern, and dual aspect.

  • Business and owner are separate for accounting.
  • Owner's capital is a liability of the business to the owner.
  • Personal withdrawals by the owner are Drawings, not expenses.

  • Only money-measurable transactions are recorded.
  • Books are maintained in monetary units, not physical quantities.
  • Sincerity, loyalty, and honesty are not recorded because they cannot be measured in money.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The owner’s money invested in the business is the owner’s personal asset, so it should not appear as a business liability.

Withdrawals of cash or goods by the owner for personal use are business expenses.

Money Measurement Concept means every important business fact should be recorded, even if it cannot be measured in money.
