Under the cash basis of accounting, revenues and expenses are reported in the income statement in the period in which cash is received or paid. E.g. Some
Government Accounting
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are reported in the income statement in the period in
which they are earned.
Objective 1 - Describe the nature of the adjusting process.

The accounting concept that supports this approach to reporting of revenues is called the revenue recognition
concept.
Expenses are reported in the same period as the revenue to which they relate.
The accounting concept that supports reporting revenues and related expenses in the same period is called the
matching concept, or matching principle.
Our focus in the course will be on the accrual basis of accounting i..e. revenues are reported in the income statement in the period in which they are earned.

The analysis and updating of accounts at the end of the period before the financial
statements are prepared is called the adjusting process.
3-1Some accounts may need to updated at the end of an accounting period e.g. Supplies vs
Supplies Expense
The journal entries that bring the accounts up to date at the end of the accounting period are called adjusting entries.

Physical resources that are owned and used by a business and are permanent or have a long life are
called fixed assets, or plant assets.
3-2Adjusting Process for Depreciation Expenses
As time passes, a fixed asset loses its ability to provide useful services (by being used in the business i.e. an expenses) This decrease (or
expense) in usefulness is called depreciation.
![Page 22: 1 1. Describe the nature of the adjusting process. 2. Journalize entries for accounts requiring adjustment. 3. Summarize the adjustment process. 4. Prepare](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f0d5503460f94c2198b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Normal titles for fixed asset accounts and their related contra asset accounts are as follows:
Fixed Asset Contra Asset
Land None—Land is not depreciatedBuildings Accumulated Depreciation—

3-2Instead of the assets account being credited, a contra
account is established that normally carries a credit balance and appears as a deduction on the balance sheet
