Unit – 1: BASICS OF ACCOUNTING & INTRODUCTION TO TALLY

INTRODUCTION:

In all activities and in all organizations, money and other economic resources are required.
Accounting is required to account for these resources. In other words, wherever money is
involved, accounting is required to account for it. Accounting is often called the language of
business. The basic function of any language is to serve as a means of communication.
Accounting also serves this function.

MEANING AND DEFINITION OF BOOK-KEEPING:

Meaning of Book-Keeping:

Book-keeping includes recording of journal, posting in ledgers and balancing of accounts. All
the records before the preparation of trail balance are the whole subject matter of
book - keeping.

MEANING AND DEFINITION OF ACCOUNTING:

Meaning of Accounting:

Accounting, as an information system is the process of identifying, measuring and


communicating the economic information of an organization to its users who need the
information for decision making. It identifies transactions and events of a specific entity.
A transaction is an exchange in which each participant receives or sacrifices value (e.g.
purchase of raw material).

METHODS OF ACCOUNTING:

Business transactions are recorded in two different ways.

1. Single Entry
2. Double Entry

1. Single Entry:

It is incomplete system of recording business transactions. The business organization


maintains only cash book and personal accounts of debtors and creditors.

2. Double Entry:

In this system every business transaction is having a twofold effect of benefits giving
and benefits receiving aspects. The recording is made on the basis of both these aspects.
Double Entry is an accounting system that records the Effects of transactions and other
events in atleast two accounts with equal debits and credits.

Steps involved in Double entry system:


(a) Preparation of Journal: Journal is called the book of original entry. It records the effect
of all transactions for the first time. Here the job of recording takes place.

(b) Preparation of Ledger: Ledger is the collection of all accounts used by a business. Here
the grouping of accounts is performed. Journal is posted to ledger.

(c) Trial Balance preparation: Summarizing. It is a summary of ledger balances prepared in


the form of a list.

(d) Preparation of Final Account: At the end of the accounting period to know the
achievements of the organization and its financial state of affairs, the final accounts are
prepared.

Meaning of Debit and Credit:

The term ‘debit’ is supposed to have derived from ‘debit’ and the term ‘credit’ from
‘creditable’. For convenience ‘Dr’ is used for debit and ‘Cr’ is used for credit. Recording of
transactions require a thorough understanding of the rules of debit and c r e d i t r e lating to
accounts. Both debit and credit may represent either increase or decrease, depending upon the
nature of account.

Types of Accounts:

The object of book -keeping is to keep a complete record of all the transactions t h a t
p l a ce in the business. To achieve this object, business transactions have been classified into
three categories:

(i) Transactions relating to persons: The accounts falling under this heading are known as
‘Personal Accounts’.

(ii) Transactions relating to properties and assets: The accounts falling under this heading
are known as ‘Real Accounts’.

(iii) Transactions relating to incomes and expenses: The accounts falling under this
heading are called ‘Nominal Accounts’.

Rules of Accounting:

1. Personal Accounts: Accounts recording transactions with a person or group of


persons are known as personal accounts. These accounts are necessary, in particular, to
record credit transactions.

The rule for personal accounts is: Debit the receiver


Credit the giver
2. Real Accounts: Accounts relating to properties or assets are known as ‘Real Accounts’, A
s e p a r a t e a c c ount is maintained for each asset e.g., Cash Machinery, Building, etc.,

The rule for Real accounts is: Debit what comes in


Credit what goes out

3. Nominal Accounts: Accounts relating to income, revenue, gain expenses and losses are
termed as nominal accounts. A separate account is maintained for each head or expense
or loss and gain or income. Wages account, Rent account C o m m i s s i o n account,
Interest received account are some examples of nominal account.

The rule for Nominal accounts is: Debit all expenses and losses
Credit all incomes and gains

MODES OF ACCOUNTING:

The Modes of accounting are:

i) Financial accounting
ii) Cost accounting
iii) Management accounting

Now, let us understand these terms.

1. Financial Accounting: The accounting system concerned only with the financial state of
affairs and financial results of operations is known as Financial Accounting.

2. Cost Accounting: In view of the limitations of financial accounting in respect of


information relating to the cost of individual products, cost accounting was developed.

3. Management Accounting: It is an accounting for the management i.e., accounting which


provides necessary information to the management for discharging its functions.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, CONCEPTS AND CONVENTIONS:

Accounting principles are basic guidelines that provide standards for scientific accounting
practices and procedures. They guide as to how the transactions are to be recorded and
reported. They assure uniformity and understandability.

Accounting concepts lay down the foundation for accounting principles. They are ideas
essentially at mental level and are self-evident. These concepts ensure recording of financial
facts on sound bases and logical considerations.

Accounting conventions are methods or procedures that are widely accepted. When
transactions are recorded or interpreted, they follow the conventions. Many times, however,
the terms-principles, concepts and conventions are used interchangeably.
