History of Accounting
Ancient history :
o Accountancy is a very old concept. Its inception was
during the age of human agriculture and civilization.
(the Sumerians* in Mesopotamia, and the Egyptian Old
Kingdom) Ancient economic thinking facilitated the
creation of accurate records of the quantities and
relative values of agricultural products, methods that
were formalized in trading and monetary systems by
2000 BC.
* (late 6th millennium BC to 4th millennium BC))

Painting of Luca Pacioli (The father of Accounting)
Chapter
1-4
History of Accounting
Luca Pacioli (1445 - 1517), also known as Friar Luca dal
Borgo, is credited for the "birth" of accounting.
His Summa de arithmetica, geometrica, proportioni et
proportionalita (Summa on arithmetic, geometry,
proportions and proportionality, Venice 1494), was a
textbook for use in the abbaco schools of northern Italy,
where the sons of merchants and craftsmen were
educated.
Chapter
1-5
History of Accounting
It includes the first printed description of the method of
keeping accounts that merchants used at that time,
known as the double-entry accounting system.
Pacioli actually codified rather than invented this system.
As The system he published included most of the
accounting cycle as we know it today, so he is widely
regarded as the "Father of Accounting".
He described the use of journals and ledgers, and
warned that a person should not go to sleep at night until
the debits equal the credits!

FASB
Since 1973 the FASB has been the organization designated to establish authoritative financial accounting and reporting standards (Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, SFAS) for business and other private-sector entities. Its mission is to be responsive to the entire economic community and to operate in full view of the entire community through a due-process system.
Chapter
1-15
IASB
Formed in January 2001. IASB is structured similarly to the FASB. It is currently the focus of the IASB, in collaboration with the FASB and other accounting focused organizations, to "meet" standards and develop a single, universally accepted set of biding international accounting standards. The IASC, and now IASB, issue a series of standards known as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), formerly called International Accounting Standards (IAS).

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
The Building Blocks of Accounting
LO 4 Explain generally accepted accounting principles and the cost principle.
Chapter
1-17
Cost Principle (Historical) – dictates that companies record
assets at their cost.
Issues:
Reported at cost when purchased and also over the time the asset is held.
Cost easily verified, whereas market value is often subjective.
e.g. XYZ corp. purchased a car for $200,000 in the year of 2006. But, the car’s
current market price is $150,000. Still, the historic cost principle says that
the book value (recorded value) of the asset should portray the historic
cost meaning $200,000 for the car.
The Building Blocks of Accounting
LO 4 Explain generally accepted accounting principles and the cost principle.
Chapter
1-18
Monetary Unit Assumption – include in the accounting

Accrual Basis Accounting – An intro
Accrual Basis accounting is one of the most important accounting concept that is being followed by most of the organizations. As per the “Matching principle” it is binding that the revenues and the expenses of any specific period must be reported in that period. So, sometimes this very criterion pushes the firms to follow the accrual basis accounting.
Chapter
1-29
Accounts Payable
To run the business sometimes it is required to purchase
several products or to receive services on credit. This is
an obligation that the company needs to pay and these
obligations are called as Accounts Payables.
In a similar manner if any company borrows any amount
of money with formal instruments as proof of debt, then it
is an obligation that is needed to be paid. Then it is
called Notes Payable.
All these PAYABLES are LIABILITIES.
Chapter
1-30
Discussion Question
Q18. In February 2008, Paula King invested an
additional $10,000 in her business, King’s
Pharmacy, which is organized as a proprietorship.
King’s accountant, Lance Jones, recorded this
receipt as an increase in cash and revenues. Is
this treatment appropriate? Why or why not?
Transactions
LO 7 Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation.
Chapter
1-31
Answer
Question 18 (Chapter 1) No, this treatment is not proper. While the transactions does involve a receipt of cash, it does not represent revenues. Revenues are the gross increase in owner’s equity resulting from business activities entered into for the purpose of earning income. This transactions is simply an additional investment made by the owner in the business.
