Document Summary

Cash basis accounting recognize (report) revenues and expenses in the period in which cash is collected or paid. Accounts receivable- represents the amount of cash the company expects to collect in the future (under assets column) Because the revenue recognition causes assets (account receivable) to increase, it is classified as an asset source transaction. Because cash was not collected or paid, the statement of cash flows is not affected. Example: cato collected ,000 cash from customers in partial settlements of its accounts receivable. The collection of an account receivable is an asset exchange transaction- a transaction such as the purchase of land with cash, that decreases one asset and increases the other; total asset remains unchanged. The revenue was recognized when the work was done. Accrued expenses- expenses that are recognized before cash is paid. Adjusting entry- the entry that updates account balance prior to preparing financial statements; adjusting entry never affected the cash account.
