BASIC ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AA015
CHAPTER 2

(1) The Historical Cost
➢ The acquired assets and services should be recorded at their

actual cost.
➢ The cost is a reliable measure and can be approved and should

continue reporting the historical cost of an asset over its useful life.
➢ Example:

▪ The company purchases a car from supplier with a cost price
RM20,000 at 21 August 2014. The market value increases
up to RM25,000 on the next day. What is the cost should
be recorded by the company? Why?

Conclusion:
▪ The value that should be recorded is RM20,000 because
cost is a reliable measure.

(2) The Monetary Measurement
➢ Money is the common denominator in business. Expressing

transactions and events in monetary units is crucial to the use of

financial statements for business communications.
➢ Accounting generally assumes a stable monetary unit. Example of

monetary units are the dollar in the United States.
➢ Example:

▪ A transaction occurred in the organization but the value
cannot be determined.

Conclusion:
▪ The transaction must be recorded in the monetary unit
concept and the value must not change with the inflation
situation.

(3) The Economic Entity
➢ The activities of the entity be kept separate and distinct from the
activities of the owner and of all other economic entities such as
the owner of the entity, supplier and customer.

CNCZ/KMKt

MERGEFORMAT 20

BASIC ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AA015
CHAPTER 2

➢ The entity needs to be evaluated separately and the transaction

of different entities should not be accounted for together.
➢ Example:

▪ The company purchases a car for his wife by using money
from the business’ operations. He had recorded the
purchases as a business’ assets. Besides that, all the

expenses such as fuel oil was recorded as business

expenses.

Conclusion:
▪ The company does not follow the Separate Entity Concept.

The purchase should be recorded as drawing because the

transaction was the personal transaction.

(4) The Going Concern
➢ The enterprise will continue in operation long enough to carry out

its existing objectives. It means that the entity will remain in

operation for the foreseeable future.
➢ Most firm resources such as supplies, land, buildings and

equipment are acquired to use rather than to sell.
➢ Example:

▪ The company purchases a car with a cost of RM20,000 with
the estimated useful life for 10 years. The market value for
that car is RM25,000. It is suggested that the car should be
depreciated for 5 years because the business is expected to
make a clearance in a short period.

Conclusion:
▪ The suggestion is rejected because it is contra with the Going
Concern Concept. The vehicle should be recorded as the
value of RM20,000 and must be depreciated for 10 years
because the trade must be assumed to operate for the period
that cannot be expected.

BASIC ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AA015
CHAPTER 2

(5) The Consistency
➢ Consistency means that a company uses the same accounting

principles and methods from year to year.
➢ When financial information has been reported on a consistent

basis, the financial statements permit meaningful analysis of

trends within a company.
➢ Example:

▪ The company uses straight line method in depreciating the
fixed asset of the company. The company decides to change
to declining balances method.

Conclusion:
▪ It does not follow the rules of the consistency because the
method should be used from year to year. Any changes
should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

(6) The Accounting Period
➢ Time period covered by financial statements is known as

accounting period.
➢ Time period assumption means business activities can be divided

into specific period such as a month, a quarter and a year in order

to enables comparison of business performance over time.
➢ Example:

▪ The company has established at 1 January 2013. The trade
closes the business account every 12 months at 31
December every year. Explain the concept involved.

Conclusion:
▪ That is normal condition when the trade follow the Accounting
period where the financial statements will be held every 12
months.

(7) Materiality
➢ Materiality relates to an item’s impact on a firm’s overall financial

condition and operations.
➢ An item is material when it is likely to influence the decision of a

reasonably prudent investor or creditor.
➢ To determine the materiality of an amount, the accountant usually

compares it with such items as total assets, total liabilities and net

income.
➢ Example:

▪ A company purchases a calculator at cost RM20 and it will
depreciate for 5 years over its useful life. Give your opinion.

Conclusion:
▪ Although the proper accounting would depreciate the
calculator over its useful life, but this cost are considered
immaterial. It will not make a material difference on total
assets and net income.

(8) Revenue Recognition
➢ Revenue is recognized in the period they are earned.
➢ When the merchandise has arrived to the buyer or when services

are rendered even cash receivable
➢ Criteria:

✓ There is a change of ownership/title.
✓ Buyers are willing to pay.
✓ The stability of the currency.
✓ Buyers are able to pay.
➢ Example:

▪ Azmal is an entrepreneur pottery. He has received 100

reservations porcelain vase on January 1, 2018 and has

received a payment of RM1,000. The booking was sent on

January 15, 2018. When the sales above should be

recognized? Give your opinion.

BASIC ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AA015
CHAPTER 2

Solution:
▪ En. Azmal need to recognize sales revenue of RM1,000 on

15 January 2018 because of a change of ownership at that

date.

(9) Expense Recognition
➢ Expenses are recorded in the accounting period in which it has

been involved for a business revenue.
➢ Expenses are recognized when they are incurred even if payment

has not been made.
➢ The goal - to find out the actual amount of revenue and

expenditure for a financial period.
➢ Example:

▪ Pn. Tina has recorded expenses of RM2,000 for the utility in
December 2019, although payment will only be made in
January 2020.

Explanation:
▪ Pn. Tina agreed to the concept of expense recognition as an
expense of the current period and should be recorded in the
current accounting period.

(10) Full Disclosure
➢ The company should report the sufficient information (ie:

relevant, reliable, comparable) so that external parties can make

a reasonable decision.
➢ Example:

▪ Farida businesses have made changes in stock valuation
method used. The company did not disclose the information
in the financial statements for the accounting period.

Explanation:
▪ The situation does not comply with the concept of full
disclosure where a change is made it should be reported in

CNCZ/KMKt

PAGE \* Arabic \*
MERGEFORMAT 20

BASIC ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS AA015
CHAPTER 2

the notes to the accounts. The aim is to inform the user of
changes in the financial statements.

(11) Objectivity
➢ All accounting data must be evidence of valid and reliable to

support transactions occur.
➢ The goal - to prevent accountants in giving subjective and

inaccurate opinion.
➢ Example:

▪ KZB basic business is only issued a receipt for cash
transactions, but for the return of goods sales transactions no
source document is issued. Give your opinion.

Solution:
▪ The Company does not comply with the concept of objectivity
for the return of goods sales transaction for all transactions
that occurred needs to be confirmed with the release of the
source document. In addition to the evidence it can also
facilitate the recording.

(12) Fair Value Measurement
➢ The International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) definition
of fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
➢ Basically it is an exit price. Consequently, fair value is focused on
the assumptions about risk. This means that fair value is
measured using the same characteristics of the assets or liability.
Such conditions would include the condition and location of the
assets and any restrictions on its sale or use.
➢ The company should report all information that affects users of
financial statements so they can make reasonable decisions. Any
additional information can be presented in the notes to the
accounts.

➢ Accounting uses the double-entry system, which means that we
record the dual effects of each transaction. As a result, every
transaction affects at least two accounts. It would be incomplete
to record only the giving side, or only the receiving side, of a
transaction.
