Identifying the transactions and events: This is the first step of accounting process. It identifies the
transaction of financial character that is required to be recorded in the books of accounts. Transaction is
transfer of money or goods or services from one person or account to another person or account. Events
happen as a result of internal policies or external needs. Events of non financial character cannot be recorded
even though such events may have an impact on the operational results of the firm.
Measuring: This denotes expressing the value of business transactions and events in terms of money (in terms
of rupees in India).
Recording: It deals with recording of identifiable and measurable transactions and events in a systematic
manner in the books of original entry that are in accordance with the principles of accountancy.
Classifying: It deals with periodic grouping of transactions of similar nature that appear in the books of original
entry into appropriate heads by posting or transfer entries. For Eg: All purchases of goods made for cash or on
credit on different dates are brought to purchase account.
Summarizing: It deals with summarizing or condensing transactions in a manner useful to the users. This
function involves the preparation of financial statements such as income statement, balance sheet, statement of
changes in financial position and cash flow statement.

Analyzing: It deals with the establishment of relationship between the various items or group of items taken
from income statement or balance sheet or both. Its purpose is to identify the financial strengths and
weaknesses of the enterprise. The above six process in the present day scenario are generally performed using
software packages.

Interpreting: It deals with explaining the significance of those data in a manner that the end users of the
financial statement can make a meaningful judgment about the profitability and financial position of the
business. The accountants should interpret the statement in a manner useful to the users, so as to enable the
user to make reasoned decision out of the alternative course of action. They should explain various factors on
what has happened, why it happened, and what is likely to happen under specific conditions.

Communicating: It deals with communicating the analyzed and interpreted data in the form of financial reports/
statements to the users of financial information e.g. Profit and loss account, Balance Sheet, Cash flow and
Funds Flow statement, Auditors report etc.

B. Principle of Matching Cost and Revenue:

Revenue earned during a period is compared with the expenditure incurred to earn that income, whether the
expenditure is paid during that period or not. This is matching cost and revenue principle, which is important to
find out the profit earned for that period. Here costs are reported as expenses in the accounting period in which
the revenue associated with those costs is reported.

Sales revenue in 2005- Rs.50 Lakhs

Expenses incurred during the period – Rs.30 Lakhs

It is assumed that some of these costs might be payable in 2006

Yet, they are considered for the period 2005, when the sales revenue was earned

While preparing the final accounts adjustments are made for outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses,
outstanding income and income received in advance.
