    Accrual Method of Accounting

    Income is reported in the fiscal period it is earned,regardless of when it is received, and expenses arededucted in the fiscal period they are incurred, whetherthey are paid or not.

    Therefore, there may be timing differences:

    Revenue is recognized beforecash is received.AccruedRevenue

    Expense is recognized beforecash is paid.AccruedExpense

    Revenue is recognized aftercash is received.DeferredRevenue

    Expense is recognized aftercash is paid.DeferredExpense

    Balance Sheet

    A statement of the financial position of a businesswhich states the assets, liabilities, and owners'equity at a particular point in time. In other words,the Balance Sheet illustrates your business's net

    worth.All accounts in the balance sheet are categorized

    as an asset, a liability or equity. The relationshipbetween them is expressed in this equation:

    Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

    Profit & Loss Statement

    The Profit & Loss shows the business revenue andexpenses for a specific period of time (i.e. thefinancial year to-date).

    Difference between the total revenue and the total

    expense is your net profit or loss.

    A key element of this statement, and one thatdistinguishes it from a balance sheet, is that theamounts shown on the statement represent

    transactions over a period of time.

    Volume Accounting

    What is Volume Accoun t ing?

    In examples until now, we have assumed that there is one account foreach type of transaction on the balance sheet. E.g. Any transactionaffecting Fixed Assets would be posted to the same account.

    But this would only give us one total for the opening balance of Fixed

    Assets plus any transactions during the year. GE want to be able to see the different types of movements in the

    current year separately from the opening balance from the previousyear.

    Volume Accounting

    What does Volume Acco unt ing entai l?

    New activities are recorded in distinct SSS-SSS accounts

    eg. 200-001-002 Fixed AssetsCost - Additions200-001-003 Fixed AssetsCost - Disposals200-001-004 Fixed AssetsCost - Transfers

    Opening Balance account (1/1) associated with each group of volume

    accounts (at GGG level)

    1/1 Balance for the year is accumulation of the group of volumeaccounts at the previous year end

    Why do we do Volume Account ing?

    To provide analysis on the balance sheet between prior year andcurrent year activities
