Document Summary

Although businesses engage in an infinite number of different transactions, all transactions fall into one of four types. Asset source transactions: an asset account increases, and a corresponding claim increases. Asset use transactions: an asset account decreases and a corresponding claims account decreases. Asset exchange transactions: one asset account increases, and another asset account decreases. Claims exchange transactions: one claims account increases, and another claims account decreases. Revenue: the economic benefit derived from operating the business. Its recognition is accompanied b an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities resulting from providing products or services to customers. An expense is an economic sacrifices incurred in the process of generating revenue. Recognition means reporting an economic item or event in the financial statements.

Cash payments for expenses often occur in different accounting periods from when a company recognizes the expenses.
