(c) Explain the accounting concepts involved in each of the additional information notes 1, 3 and 5 above.

Note 1

Accrual basis:- Accrual basis accounting records business revenue and matching expenses as they occur, rather than when money exchanges hands. This means that revenue is recorded when it is earned rather than when it is collected. It also entails recognizing expenses when the corporation incurs the liability for them, rather than when it pays them.

Note 3

Business entity concept: - According to the business entity concept, the transactions linked with a business must be documented independently from those of its owners or other businesses. This necessitates the use of separate accounting records for the organization that totally exclude any other entity's or the owner's assets and liabilities.

Note 5:

Prudence concept: - Prudence is a key accounting principle that ensures revenue and assets are not overstated in the financial statement. It also ensures that liabilities are not overstated and that Provisions for revenue and losses are made. This idea is also known as the conservative principle.

QUESTION 5(a)

Q Describe two attributes that financial statements should possess in order to meet the faithful representation criterion. (4 marks)
A

Solution

Completeness - All necessary information should be disclosed adequately and completely.
Neutrality - Information should be presented fairly without bias.




QUESTION 5(b)

Q (i) Fund accounting. (2 marks)
(ii) Commitment accounting (2 marks)
A

Solution


Fund accounting - is a self-contained accounting entity with its own assets, liabilities, revenues, expenditures, and fund balance. Fund Accounting refers to the financial accounting methodologies used and reported in terms of transactions in the operational statements and balance sheets of public sector entities.

Commitment accounting - This is an accounting system that detects transactions when they are committed by an organization. This means that transactions are not recorded when cash is paid or received, nor when an invoice is received or issued, but rather when an order is received and placed. Because transactions are initiated only after a committed amount has been validated, this accounting method is meant to keep government entities from overpaying.
