Beware of Financial VertigoBeware of Financial Vertigo
• Easy to get confused with terminology• Much of what passes for complexity in
financial statements is a terminology issue
• Sometimes this is counterintuitive – debits and credits as an example
• Terminology used often has the same meaning, e.g. revenue and income do not mean the same thing

The Accounting CycleThe Accounting Cycle
The accounting process is a series of activities that begins with a transaction and ends with the closing of the books. Because this process is repeated each reporting period, it is referred to as the accounting cycle and includes these major steps:
• Identify the transaction or other recognizable event.• Prepare the transaction's source document such as
a purchase order or invoice.• Analyze and classify the transaction. • Record the transaction by making entries in the
appropriate journal. Such entries are made in chronological order.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
10
The Accounting CycleThe Accounting Cycle
• Post general journal entries to the ledger accounts.
The above steps are performed throughout the accounting period as transactions occur or in periodic batch processes. The following steps are performed at the end of the accounting period:
• Prepare the trial balance to make sure that debits equal credits.
• Correct any discrepancies in the trial balance. If the columns are not in balance, look for math errors, posting errors, and recording errors. Posting errors include:
posting of the wrong amount, omitting a posting, posting in the wrong column, or posting more than once.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
11
The Accounting CycleThe Accounting Cycle
• Prepare adjusting entries to record accrued, deferred, and estimated amounts.
• Post adjusting entries to the ledger accounts.• Prepare the adjusted trial balance. This step is
similar to the preparation of the unadjusted trial balance, but this time the adjusting entries are included. Correct any errors that may be found.
• Prepare the financial statements. Income statement: prepared from the revenue, expenses, gains,
and losses. Balance sheet: prepared from the assets, liabilities, and equity
accounts. Cash flow statement: derived from the other financial statements
using either the direct or indirect method.

Recording Financial InformationRecording Financial Information
A financial event is one that affects the fundamental accounting equation by changing any of its components:
Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets
A journal is a chronological listing of every financial event that occurs in an organization.
Every type of asset, liability, revenue, or expense is referred to as an account. Organizations may have as many accounts as they need.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
26
Recording Financial Information Recording Financial Information – Debits and Credits– Debits and Credits
• Financial events are recorded as a series of debits and credits
• Increases in assets are recorded by debits and decreases are recorded by credits.
• Increases in liabilities and in owner's equity are recorded by credits and decreases are recorded by debits.

Recording Financial Information Recording Financial Information – Debits and Credits– Debits and Credits
• Notice that the debit and credit rules are related to an account's location in the balance sheet. If the account appears on the left-hand side of the balance sheet (asset accounts), increases in the account balance are recorded by left-side entries (debits).
• If the account appears on the right-hand side of the balance sheet (liability and owner's equity accounts), increases are recorded by right-side entries (credits).

A Sample Transaction Suppose HOS buys inventory for $2,000. We could just
add it to assets. But, that puts the Fundamental Equation out of balance.
Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets$2,000 = no change + no change
In a sense, we have not "paid" for the supplies. Suppose the seller sent HOS a bill. We would record the full transaction as:
Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets
Supplies Accounts Payable + $2,000 = + $2,000 + no change
To record a financial event, at least two elements of the fundamental equation must change!
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
32
A One-Sided Change Example
Not every financial event (transaction) results in changes to both sides of the fundamental equation. Suppose HOS paid for the inventory in cash. Then the transaction would have been recorded as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets Inventory Cash
+ $2,000 - $2,000 = no change + no change
The fundamental equation is still in balance. But, all of the changes occurred on the left side of the equation.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
33
Recording TransactionsRecording Transactions
The first step in recording a transaction is determining what has happened and what accounts will be impacted.
Suppose near the end of the year, HOS buys a one-year insurance policy for $100 and pays for the policy in cash. Two things have happened:
- Cash has gone down by $100.- HOS owns a new $100 asset called "prepaid
insurance."
Here's the way the transaction would be recorded: Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets
P/I Cash + $100 - $100 = no change + no change
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
34
Another ExampleAnother Example
HOS mails a cheque to its bedpan supplier for $2,000 to pay part of the $7,000 it owed them at the start of the year. Two things have happened:
- Cash has gone down by $2,000.- HOS's accounts payable have decreased by $2,000.
Here's the way the transaction would be recorded:
Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets
Cash = Accounts Payable - $2,000 = - $2,000 + no change
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
35
A Non Transaction
HOS signs a binding contract to buy an X-Ray machine that will cost $50,000.
This event will not give rise to a journal entry because it does not meet the rules for recognition.
- The value of the transaction is known.
- The timing of the transaction is known.
- But, HOS does not yet own the equipment. There has been no exchange. So HOS does not owe the money. No liability unless we owe the creditor.

Current and Long-Term AssetsCurrent and Long-Term Assets Assets on the balance sheet are divided into
current or short-term (those that are cash or cash-equivalents or are expected to become cash or will be used up within twelve months) and long-term (those that will not).
Short-Term or Current Assets are listed in order of declining liquidity and normally include:
- cash and cash equivalents,- marketable securities,- accounts receivable,- inventory, and- prepaid expenses (long-term prepaid
expenses are called Deferred Charges)
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
48
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and Cash Equivalents
• The ultimate liquid assets• Includes all forms of
immediately available funds, including bank deposits
• Always denominated in Canadian funds even if foreign currencies being held
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
49
Marketable SecuritiesMarketable Securities
Marketable securities include equity and debt instruments that can be bought and sold in public and private markets.
The values of marketable securities are reported by governments and not-for-profit organizations at fair market value.
If there is any dispute about fair market value, then cost is used to provide a value.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
50
Accounts ReceivableAccounts Receivable• When an organization produces a product,
service or obligation for another entity and it is transferred to the entity, the organization acquires the right to collect the money from that entity – this establishes a receivable account
• An accounts receivable entry is made when this occurs but before the entity pays for it
• Knowing what the outstanding accounts receivable are for the organization is an important indicator of its anticipated income, the degree to which is it efficiently collecting for its services and the degree to which it is carrying debt that it should collect
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
51
InventoryInventory
• Inventory is both the finished products held by the organization for sale to an outside buyer and the products used to make the finished product
• Three kinds of inventory: – Raw material inventory– Work-in-progress inventory– Finished goods inventory
This becomes an accounts
receivable when it is sold and cash
when the customer pays for it.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
52
Pre-paid expensesPre-paid expenses
• Financial obligations that the organization has already paid for but not yet received
• Examples are: insurance, rent, deposits made with suppliers, salary advances
• They are current assets not because they can be turned into cash, but because the organization will have to use cash to pay for them in the near future and they are generally available for consumption within the twelve month period

Long-Term AssetsLong-Term Assets
Long-Term Assets are generally divided into three categories:1.Fixed Assets, which include:
1.property (land) usually recorded at cost,
2.plant (buildings) recorded at cost and reported at net book value, and
3.equipment recorded at cost and reported at net book value
2.Investments, and3.Intangibles

55
Fixed AssetsFixed Assets
• Productive assets not intended for sale.• They will be used over and over again to
produce value to the end product of the organizations
• Commonly include land, buildings, machinery, equipment, furniture, vehicles, etc.
• Normally reported on Balance Sheet in Net Fixed Asset format: blued at original cost minus an allowance for depreciation
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
56
Net Fixed Asset DeterminationNet Fixed Asset Determination
Recorded at cost when acquired. Reported net of accumulated depreciation on the
balance sheet.
Suppose an organization buys a van for $30,000 and expects to use it for five years and sell it for $5,000. Assuming that the van will be used up evenly over the five years, how would its value appear on the balance sheet at the end of two years?
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
57
A Net Book Value Example
Subtract two years of depreciation[($30,000 - $5,000 salvage)/5 yr life] x 2 = $10,000
Record the Van at Cost = $30,000
Net Book Value =$30,000 cost - $10,000 Accumulated Depreciation = $20,000

• What are intangible assets? An asset that has no substance or physical properties. Intangible assets include goodwill, patent rights, permits, copyrights and licenses.
• How are they assets? An intangible is any event that creates or modifies perceptions of the future behavior, value or relevance, of the organization but that are seen as usable assets that can be converted into (ultimately) cash.

• Intangibles, intangible assets, knowledge assets and intellectual capital are more or less synonyms. All are widely used – intangibles specifically in the accounting literature, knowledge assets by economists and intellectual capital predominantly in the management literature.
• Intangibles create future value. All intangibles are future-oriented. (Because of this they are ignored by traditional accounting systems – conservatism concept, materiality concept).
• Rule of quantification – slippery slope of quantification
• Good will and knowledge assets………

Liabilities
Liabilities are economic obligations of the organization such as money that it owes to lenders, suppliers, employees, etc.
Like assets, liabilities are categorized as short term and long term depending on when they are due for payment.
Can be categorized and groups for presentation on the balance sheets by:
To whom the debt is owned and Whether the debt is payable within the year
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
65
Short-term or current Short-term or current liabilitiesliabilities
• Generally consist of:– specific "payables" which are typically
due within a specified period, usually the current fiscal year, e.g. wages or salary payable
– Generally have the following groupings: •Accounts payable to suppliers•Accrued expenses owed to employees and
other for services•Current debt owed to lenders•Taxes owed
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
66
Accrued Expenses – Wage Accrued Expenses – Wage PayablePayable
• Monetary obligations similar to accounts payable
• Some flexibility on how these categories are used
• Generally accrued expenses involve financial obligation within the organization
• Therefore, this often records salary earned but not yet paid, interest due but not yet paid on bank debt, pension buy-outs, outstanding training costs
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
67
Accounts PayableAccounts Payable
• Bills, generally to other organization for material sand equipment bought on credit, that must soon be paid
• When it receives materials, the organization can either pay for them immediately with case or wait and let what is owed become an account payable– notes payable – i.e., short-term loans,
and that portion of long-term debt which is due during the coming year.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management

Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognized when: they are legally owed, have to be paid, and the amount to be paid can be objectively
measured. Which of the following should be recognized as
a liability? a bill received from a vendor? wages that are due to a worker? a $5 million lawsuit filed against an
organization?
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
73
Net Asset CategoriesNet Asset Categories The amount of total assets minus total liabilities equals
equity. Because equity is equal to the net difference between assets and liabilities, it is also called net assets.
Both ‘net worth’ and ‘book value’ hold the same meaning as ‘net assets’ and ‘shareholder value’
The net worth of an organization represents the sum of the organization's earnings from inception plus any paid-in capital (in for-profits) less any payments that have been made to the organization's owners. Also call Capital Stock
Retained earnings: money that is held after all liabilities have been discharged and not used for assets – can also be negative value, i.e. debt
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
74
Net Asset CategoriesNet Asset Categories
• In not-for-profit organizations, net worth is called "Net Assets" and is broken down into three categories.– Unrestricted Net Assets, which have
not been restricted by donors (also cumulative profits appear here).
– Temporarily Restricted Net Assets, the use of which has been restricted by donors.
– Permanently Restricted Net Assets, which are restricted in perpetuity.

Recognizing Revenue and SupportRecognizing Revenue and Support
Revenue is recognized if:- the goods or services have been provided,- the amount to be collected can be objectively
measured, - there is a reasonable likelihood of collection.
Support is recognized if:- all of the conditions of the gift have been met,- the value of the pledge can be objectively
measured, and- there is a reasonable likelihood of collection.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
92
Recognizing ExpensesRecognizing Expenses
Expense Recognition depends on the type of expense:
- Product costs are those directly connected to providing goods and services. They are recognized based on the matching principle, which holds that expenses should be recorded in the same period as the revenue they were used to generate.
- Period Costs, like rent, are those related to the passage of time. They are recognized in the time period they are incurred.
Canadian Public Sector Financial Management
93
Expired and Unexpired Costs
Suppose Meals bought 100 canned hams at a cost of $1,000 in March. At acquisition, Meals would recognize the hams as an asset (Inventory). They are also an unexpired cost.
If they paid for the hams in cash, Cash would go down by $1,000. Otherwise Accounts Payable increases $1,000.
In May, Meals used 50 of the hams to produce meals. - At use, the hams become an expense
(expired cost) of $500 (50 hams * $10 per ham = $500), and the value of the asset (Inventory) is reduced by $500.
This is a Product Cost. The inventory becomes an expense as used to provide service.

Inventory ExpenseInventory Expense
Inventory expenses represent the cost of using supplies to operate an organization. Inventory expense and the ending inventory value are calculated using the following relationship:
Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Consumption = Ending
5 + 10 - 13 = 2

Deferred Revenue
Deferred or unearned revenues arise when an organization is paid in advance for goods or services. Deferred usually long term, Unearned usually short term.
- Why is deferred revenue a liability to an organization?
A museum sells a five-year membership for $250.
- How much of the $250 should be recorded as deferred revenue?
- How much of the $250 would the museum recognize as revenue during the first year of the membership?

The Cash Flow StatementThe Cash Flow Statement
– Why does an organization need both an operating statement and a cash flow statement?
• Cash flow statements provide vital budget to plan information in purely cash terms
• Cash flow information gives you information on your budgetary flexibilities and also on the actual cash performance versus the predicted one for cash/budget management purposes
– Why is it important to know the sources and uses of cash flow?
• This will depend on the nature of the organization – less so with single source (budget funds) of cash

The Cash Flow Statement
Start with Change in Net Assets [i.e., net income] as a first approximation of cash flow, and then make adjustments. Why isn't this good enough? Why are the other adjustments needed?
Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets
Cash + Other Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets Cash = Liabilities + Net Assets Other Assets
The Cash Flow Statement is equal to the change in the other balance sheet accounts.

The Increase in Net Assets is an approximation of cash flow. Adjustments are needed to arrive at true cash flow.
The first adjustment is for "Expenses not requiring cash" such as depreciation or amortization. Why doesn't depreciation require cash?
The remainder of the adjustments to operating cash flow are for changes in balance sheet accounts related to operations.

Why subtract an increase in Accounts Receivable? The increase in net assets includes all revenue.
What if A/R increases? Was all revenue collected in cash? If not, then how would you have to adjust the Change in Net Assets to make it a closer measure of cash flow?

• There is fraud and there is distortion possible in all this. So too is creative accounting.
• So much relies upon issues such as recognition rules, when expenses and expenditures are actually recognized

How to Cook the BooksHow to Cook the Books
• Some common means to cook the books:
• Padding revenue expectations• Accelerating and decelerating expenditures
flows• Improperly lowering costs• Assuming ‘efficiencies’ planned will be
achieved• Not accruing liabilities• Flipping lower valued assets for higher ones• Shifting expenses between periods and
years• Accelerating depreciation rates
