Accounts and Ledger
• ACCOUNT is a table in T- shape which records chronologically the changes caused by the trade transactions that a business proceeds in an item of the assets, liabilities or capital.
• All Accounts are kept in a book which is called GENERAL LEDGER (‘T’ accounts).
• There is a ledger account for each asset, liability, revenue and expense item. Ledger accounts are pages in the ledger book with a separate page reserved for each one in order to record transactions.

The duality concept and double entry bookkeeping
• Each account has two sides - the debit (Dr) and credit (Cr) sides.

The Account
• Basic summary device • Detailed record of all changes that have occurred
in a particular asset, liability, or stockholders’ equity
• Grouped in three broad categories :Assets Liabilities Stockholders’ Equity
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 6
The duality concept and double entry bookkeeping
• Each transaction that a business realize affects the financial statements in two ways.
• These two effects are equal and opposite so as the accounting equation will be always satisfied.
Assets = Liabilities + Capital• Double Entry Rule: For every debit there is a credit and for every credit
there is a debit.
• Each transaction will affect at least two accounts: ‘the one will be debited and the other will be credited’
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 7
The duality concept and double entry bookkeeping
• Whether an entry is to the debit or credit side of an account depends on the type of account and the transaction:
The Asset Accounts are debited when an increases of asset occurs and are credited when a diminish of asset occurs.
The Liability and Capital Accounts are credited when an increase of liability occurs and are debited when a reduce of liability occurs.
Debits are not good or bad Neither are credits

TRADE TRANSACTIONS 1. Recording Cash Transactions
• Cash transactions are those where payment is made or received immediately.
• Double Entry in the bank ledger is as follow:
– A debit entry is where funds are received.– A credit entry is where funds are paid out.
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 10
• Credit sales and purchases are transactions where goods or services change hands immediately, however payment is not made right away but in some time in the future.
• Money that a business is owned is recorded in the receivables or Debtor ledger account.
• Money that a business owes is recorded in the payables or Creditor ledger account.
TRADE TRANSACTIONS 2. Recording Credit Sales and Purchases
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE11
TRADE TRANSACTIONS 3. Recording Sales and Purchases Returns
• It is normal for customers and a business to return unwanted goods to a business or the supplier respectively.
• The double entries arising will depend upon whether the returned goods were initially
purchased on credit or cash.

TRADE TRANSACTIONS 4. Recording Discounts
• Discounts may be given in the case of credit transactions in order to encourage quick payment. For example a cash discount of 3% is offered to any customers who pay within 14 days.
– A business may give its customer a discount - known as Discount Allowed.
– A business may receive a discount from a supplier – known as Discount Received.

1.Total both sides of the T account and find the larger total. In the example the larger total is in debit side.
2.Put the larger in the total box on the debit and credit side.
3.Calculate the difference between the large side and the small side and set the figure in the small side naming it Balance c/d (carried down)
4.Carry the balance down diagonally and call it “balance b/f” (brought forward)

ADJUSTMENTS
Accrued expenses
– The expenses which have been used up in the current year, but have not yet been paid.
Prepaid expenses
– those to be used in the following period but have been paid in advance this period.
added in the total expenses and goes in the Profit and Loss account also goes to Balance sheet in the Current liabilities side and is called Accrued Expenses.
we deduct it from the total expense so in Profit and Loss account goes the expense which is related to this year.Also goes in the Balance Sheet in the side of Current assets named Prepaid expenses.
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 16
ADJUSTMENTS - INCOME
• Accrued income
– The income which has been earned in the current period but has not yet been received.
• Prepaid income
– The income to be earned in the following period but has been received in advance.
We record the whole (paid + unpaid) income in the Profit and Loss Account. also goes in the Balance sheet in the side of current assets and is called accrued income.
we deduct the prepaid income from the total amount of the income which goes in the Profit and Loss account (because is not related to the year) And also this amount goes to Balance sheet in the side of current liabilities and is called prepaid income.
In this case we mean the income from other sources than the clients for e.g. the bank interest, rents e.t.c)
Also known as “bookkeeping cycle ”, is the process of recording and processing the accounting events of a company. The series of steps begin when a transaction occurs and end with its inclusion in the financial statements.
The main steps of the accounting cycle are:
Collecting and analyzing data from transactions and events.Posting entries to the general ledger.Adjusting entries appropriately.Preparing an adjusted trial balance.Organizing the accounts into the financial statements.Closing the books.Preparing a post-closing trial balance to check the accounts.

ACCOUNTING PROCESS AND RECORDS ▲ Accounting records are any listing or book which records the transactions of a business in a logical manner. This is achieved by the use of books of prime entry and the Ledger.
Journals ( Journal is one of the books of prime entry) is a detail diary in which the transactions of each day are recorded. They are used as an initial ‘store’ of information of the business transactions prior to storing the information in the ledger accounts.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS
▲ The journal is called a book of prime entry meaning the ‘first book’.
A Journal is prepared in a specific format as shown in the next slide.

END OF THE YEAREND OF ACCOUNTING PERIOD
• At the year end, the ledger accounts must be closed off (concerns accounts that closes – temporary accounts) or balanced (concerns accounts that their balance is transferred to next year- permanent accounts) and transfer the balances in the next accounting period.
• Balancing the account will result in:– A balance c/f (being the asset / liability at the end of the accounting
period). equals
– A balance b/f (being the asset / liability at the start of the next accounting period).
Balance c/d = Balance b/d
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 26
The following accounts are closing off and they are not transferring a balance to the next accounting period:
1. Expenses accounts and Purchases account 2. Income accounts (e.g. sales, discounts received, other
income)
Instead they are transferring the balancing figure on thesmallest side at the Income statement (depending if it goes to trading a/c or profit & loss a/c)
LEDGER ACCOUNTS THAT ARE TRANSFERING AT THE INCOME STATEMENT DO NOT HAVE AN OPENING BALANCE NEXT YEAR/NEXT ACCOUNTING PERIOD
Lecturer: Chara Charalambous 27
Classes of Accounts• Personal Accounts: The accounts which represent persons,
organizations, claims and liabilities examples are debtors, creditors, loans, prepayments, accruals, drawings, capital.
• Real Accounts: The accounts which represent assets, Examples are cash , bank, stock, fixed assets.
• Nominal Accounts: The accounts which represent expenses, losses, incomes, profits. Examples are purchases, sales, expenses. Also called Temporary Accounts because the are related to one year only and they are closed at the end of the year and next year they will not have balance they start from zero.
Personal Accounts and Real Accounts are Permanent accounts are not closed at the end of the year, they will have balance next year and all these accounts are Balance Sheet Accounts.
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 28
CAPITAL ACCOUNT
• At the start of the next accounting period the capital account will have an opening balance, i.e. A balance b/f equal to the amount that is owed to the owner at the start of that period.
• This amount is equal to what was owed to the owner at the start of the previous period, plus any capital that the owner introduced in the period, plus any profits earned in the period less any drawings taken out in the period.
• Therefore we transfer the balance of the Income Statement -profit or loss- and the balance on the drawings account to the capital account at the end of the period so that it will have the correct opening balance at the start of the next.

THE TRIAL BALANCE
• Once all ledger accounts have been balanced off a trial balance is prepared.
• A trial balance is a list of the “balance b/f” of the ledger accounts according to whether they are on the debit or credit side.
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE 37
The purpose of a trial balance is:
– To check that for every debit entry made, an equal credit entry has been made since the total amount of the two columns must be equal.
– As a first step in preparing the financial statements.
Note that a number of adjustments will be made after the trial balance is extracted. These adjustments do not therefore appear in the trial balance.

Post-Closing Trial Balance A post-closing trial balance is a list of permanent
accounts and their balances from the ledger after all closing entries have been journalized and posted. It lists the balances for all accounts not closed. These accounts comprise a company’s assets, liabilities and equity, which are identical to those in the balance sheet. The aim is to verify that (1) total debits equal total credits for permanent accounts, and (2) all temporary accounts have zero balances.

Ledger Accounts and the division of the Ledger
In a manual system, ledgers can be thought of books containing the individual accounts:– The general ledger contains all accounts or a summary of all
accounts necessary to produce the trial balance and financial statements.
– The accounts in ‘Debtors ledger’ contains an account for each credit customer to show how much each one owes.
An account to summarize and gather all information is normally contained within the general ledger and is named ‘Debtors control account’.
– The accounts in ‘Creditors ledger’ contains an account for each credit supplier to show how much they are owed.
An account to summarize and gather all information is normally contained within the general ledger and is named ‘Creditors control account’. 41

Control Accounts
• If a business keeps individual accounts in the Debtors or Creditors ledger and also keeps a control account in the general ledger ONLY ONE can be part of the double entry system : either individual accounts or control accounts! The other exist for memorandum purposes. Normally in this case of business the control accounts are part of double entry and individuals accounts are kept for information reasons.
43
Chara Charalambous MBA CDA COLLEGE
Control AccountsThe usefulness of control accounts is that they reduce
the time it takes to find out the total amount owed by receivables and owed to payables. Also the risk of making errors when totaling several individual accounts is also reduced.
Even when control accounts are kept, a business must still keep a record of how much each customer owes them and how much they owe each supplier, therefore the creditors accounts ledger and debtors accounts ledger are always part of the accounting system.
