(b) i. Entity Concept: Every economic unit,
regardless of its legal form of existence, is treated as a separate entity from
parties having proprietary or economic interest in it.
ii. Going
Concern Concept: The assumption is that the business unit will operate in
perpetuity that is the business is not expected to be liquidated in the
foreseeable future.
iii. Periodicity: Although, the results of a business unit
cannot be determined with precision until its final liquidation, the business
community and users of financial statements require that the business be
divided into accounting periods usually one year and that changes in position
be measured over these periods.
iv. Realisation: The concept establishes the
rule for the periodic recognition of revenue as soon as it is capable of objective measurement, and the value of asset
received or receivable is reasonably certain.
v. Matching Concept: The concept hold that for any accounting
period, the earned revenue and all the incurred cost that generated that
revenue must be matched and reported for the period.
vi. Consistency:
The concept of consistency holds that when a company selects a method it should
continue to use that method in subsequent periods so that comparison of
accounting figures overtime is meaningful.
vii. Historical
Cost Concept: The historical cost concept holds that cost is the
appropriate basis for initial accounting recognition of all asset acquisition,
services rendered or received, expenses incurred, creditors and owners interest.
It also holds that subsequent to acquisition, cost value are retained through
out the accounting process.
viii. Money
Measurement Concept: The concept that financial accounting information
relates only to those activities which can be expressed in monetary terms.
ix. Materiality: The principle that financial statement should
separately disclose items which are significant enough to affect evaluation or
decisions.
(c ) The three types of accounting convention are as
follows:

Materiality
ii. Conservation or Prudence
iii. Consistency

SUGGESTED SOLUTION
(a) The Journal is also referred to as General
Journal or Principal Journal or Journal Proper. The Journal Proper is the
subsidiary book in which entries which might not fit into any of the day books
so far considered in the previous chapters are recorded.
The Journal can also be
defined as a book of original entries or prime entries in which transactions
are recorded in chronological order (i.e. the day-to-day recording of
transactions are arranged according to when they occur).
The Journal refers to
daily record into which transactions are entered and classified as debit (Dr.)
and credit (Cr.) before they are posted to the ledgers. The entries are
recorded and explanation will be given to show the nature of the transactions.

ILLUSTRATION 9
“Book-Keeping is to Accounting, what Nursing is to Medicine”.
Discuss
SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Book-Keeping is to Accounting. Without Book-Keeping,
we would not be talking about Accounting.
So, what is Book-Keeping as well as Accounting?
Book-Keeping is an integral part
of accounting.
It is defined as the art of
recording financial transaction in such a manner that the financial position of
a business can be known at any time. What we are saying here, is that whenever
a financial transaction takes place, there must be a proper recording of such
transaction in order to reflect the dual aspect of a transaction i.e. the
giving aspect and the receiving aspect. It is the recording aspect of a
transaction that is referred to a double entry book-keeping.
Accounting is both a profession
and an academic discipline. It is defined by different people in different ways
from different perspectives.
American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants defined accounting as “the art of recording, classifying and
summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events
which are in part at least of a financial character, and interpreting the
result thereof ”.
Frank Wood (1995: 181) defined
accounting as “the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating
economic information to permit informed judgements and decisions by users of
the information”.
The definition of accounting,
therefore, is the process of identifying; recording, analysing, classifying,
summarizing, interpreting and communicating financial data of an organization
to enable users make assessments and decision.
Accounting acts as the language
of business. It communicates in accounting terms, what should be paid to a
supplier or by a customer, the prices for a product or service the value of an
asset. It looks back at the past to record, analyze and report as a steward and
also looks into future and assists management with decision making and control.
Having shed light on what is
Book-Keeping and Accounting? Let us look at their importance.
The following are the importance of
accounting and book-keeping:
- It helps to determine the profitability of a business concern.
- The assets and liabilities of a business are shown.
- The records show the income and expenditure.
- The records are used by the tax department for tax assessments.
- The records provide a means by which the finances of a business are controlled.
- Book-Keeping provides permanent records for all financial transactions.
Based on the above analysis, conclusively, Book-keeping
is to Accounting, what nursing is to medicine?
