2 Learning Objectives Understand the process of adjustments in accounting Explain the different types of adjustments Prepare adjusting entries 2

3 Income Statement Revenues recognized as cash is received. Revenues recognized as they are earned. Expenses recognized as cash is paid. Expenses recognized as they are incurred. Not considered GAAP. Mandated by GAAP. Cash-Basis Accounting vs. Accrual Basis Accounting

4 Matching The Most Important Accounting Principle Matching Principle Expenses should be recognized in the same accounting period as are the revenues they generated. (i.e., match revenues and expenses.)

5 The Need for Adjusting Entries Journal entries are made at the end of each accounting period to bring about a proper matching of revenues and expenses Economic events (i.e., transactions) have been ongoing but never recorded. Why not?

6 The Adjusting Process At the end of the period, the business reports its financial statements. This process begins with a trial balance. This is often referred to as an unadjusted because the accounts are not yet ready for the financial statements. Adjusting entries assign revenues to the period in which they are earned and expenses to the period which they are incurred.

7 FRAMEWORK FOR ADJUSTMENTS Adjustments Paid (or received) cash before expense (or revenue) Paid (or received) cash after expense (or revenue) recognized Prepaid (Deferred) expenses Unearned (Deferred) revenues Accrued expense Accrued revenues Depreciation

8 Adjustment Entries By the end of month the account needs to be adjusted.

9 Adjusting Journal Entries (AJEs) AJEs use the same recording format as regular journal entries. GENERAL JOURNAL Page: 1 Date Description PR Debit Credit M/DD Account Name ### $$$ Account Name ### $$$ journal entry explanation

10 Every adjusting entry includes at least one balance sheet and at least one income statement account.

11 Adjustments 3 Types: Deferrals Accruals Depreciation

12 Deferrals A deferral is an adjustment for which the business paid or received cash in advance. It is a category of miscellaneous assets that typically expire or get used up in the near future. Examples include prepaid rent, prepaid insurance and supplies. There are also deferral adjustment for liabilities. Unearned service revenue is an example.

13 Adjusting Entries Classification Deferrals Accruals Prepaid expenses Unearned service revenue Accrued Expenses Accrued revenue

14 Prepaid Expense Therefore, prepaid expense are assets and not expenses, as they provide future benefits to the owners. A prepaid expense is an expense paid in advance. The prepayment will be used up in the near future.
