INTRODUCTION
Financial accounting is important to keep a detailed overview of company's monetary
reports. Financial accounting's key purpose is to collect data and reports on the monetary
performance of an organisation. They describe a corporation's payments, explaining which entity
has rendered the payment with the time and value within each purchase. Manufacturers make
expenditure financial statements that make details on how much the company is worth. Even
before investors give support they can begin planning the growth rate of the corporation.
Financial accounting reports offer an analysis of the financial performance of both diverse
stakeholders for the new financial period (Demerjian and Owens, 2016). The financial outlook
thus describes the objectives set, how well the company works, and the amount of employees
and other funds that can be separated into various divisions. This project is focused on the
particular role of tracking monetary operations in journals, ledger, trial balance and generating
final accounts for various business forms. Moreover, this report permitted a bank reconciliation
to classify whether or not bank statements are exactly right.
LO1 Recording of business transactions applying double-entry bookkeeping,
and extraction of trial balance:
Types of Business transaction: There are defined different types of business transactions that
conduct the organizations that are mentioned below such as:
Sales: The word "sales" includes all activities that include the selling of a product or service to a
customer or company. The company records all the transactions of sales in sales accounting
books to track the record of company. Businesses have entire marketing institutions composed of
members engaged in the business of their goods and services. Sales are marketing operations or
the amount of products or services sold within a given specified period of time. The dealer, or
the manufacturer of the products or services, makes a transaction at the time of consumption in
reply to an application, allocation, authorize or regular engagement with both the customer (Fang
and et.al, 2016).
Purchase: Purchases refer to the volume of products purchased by a corporation during the year.
This also refers to details about the nature, quality, quantity, and cost of the purchased goods
which should be preserved. Inventories are introduced. Sales are offset by discounts for
transactions and returns for sales and allocations. Buying activities are necessary to guarantee
that the people in a number are collected in a reasonable timeframe and at affordable price. To
find distributors who can supply products and facilities according to the specifications of the
purchaser.
Receipts: A receipt is a written confirmation of passing something of interest from one entity to
the next. Aside from invoices that potential customers actually receive from vendors and
suppliers, receivables are also authorized in business-to - business money transfers and also in

major stock exchanges. Further such exchanges are registered in newspapers that vendors are
credited to trade receivables as debit or money or credit payment (Gimbar, Hansen and Ozlanski,
2016).
Payment: Trade is the movement of one kind of products, services or capital instruments in
consideration for the next type of correct quantities of goods, services or capital instruments
which were mutually promised amongst all parties concerned. Compensation may take the form
of money, assets or services. These are reported in accounting records that are further prepared
for financial reporting by publications. Expenditure is debits and revenues credited to another
party.
Regulation of financial accounting:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is an autonomous, nonprofit
organization body involved in setting accounting and financial reporting requirements for
American firms and nonprofit entities, applying commonly accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).
Full disclosure: The Full Disclosure Principle stipulates that all appropriate and essential details
for interpreting a financial statement would be involved in a collection of listed corporation
reports financial reports. Financial experts who review financial statements ought to recognize
what commodity accounting system was used, whether any major take-downs have occurred,
how impairment is measured, and other important details to strengthen the basic results.
Monetary terms: It is GAAP's most basic concept where any collective agreement has to be
registered in the accounting records. The theory of financial asset states that corporate activities
should be reported only when they can be described in terms of a commodity. In many other
terms, the financial statements of a company should not be based on something that is non -
numeric. Over moment, funds were embraced in financial reporting as a standard of length
(Hoitash and Hoitash, 2018).
Matching principle: This is also called the method of double entry journals where each
transaction has dual effect. The framework of matching and recording each income documented
with all associated costs, at the very same moment. In accounting standards in particular, the
corresponding property implies that there must be cash per each debit.
Concepts above are few examples of economic reporting legislation, much remained to
be incorporated by industry in order to sell their goods effectively.
Double entry
Sales: For the double-entry book keeping a retail transaction is reported as a debit to cash or
account receivable and a credit to the sales ledger in the general report. The sum reported is the
operation's real dollar value, and not the collectible figurines’ sales price.

Purchase: Double entry bookkeeping system is a records management structure where each
transaction happens in different sides or more. There really is no limitation on the amount of
transactions that can be used in a purchase but two systems are the lower limit
Electronic and manual system: Manual storage systems include hand-held handling of records
in a format prescribed. Manual systems require more materials than the electronic components.
The Vertical Filing system which is called used manual process, much like the one contrary.
Documents are contained in storage boxes and stored one after the other in storage boxes.
Trial Balance: A trial balance is an accounting and reporting or financial reporting list of
statements that describe the balance sheets in the books of accounts of every company. (The
transactions with nil amounts are also not mentioned.) The debit balance figures are mentioned
in the category under the headline "Debit balances" and the credit amount figures are identified
in that other column under the headed "Credit balances." A trial balance is a document that at a
particular point in time shows the amounts of all a corporation's accounts in the general ledger.
All accounting estimates products, namely assets , liabilities , equity, profits, expenditures,
profits / losses, are linked to the statements represented on a trial ledger. It's being used recognize
the equilibrium of debit card transactions and credit listings from the information performed until
a certain period in history in the accounting system (Kanodia and Sapra, 2016).
Role of trial balance for identification and rectification of error:
Once the trial balance is met, it just presents us with evidence of the ledger accounts'
mathematical accuracy. Nevertheless, some mistakes can still be around. Many mistakes impact
the result of the court while others do not. This is a direct sign of the existence of mistakes
whenever the trial balance doesn't count. They need those errors to be identified and located.
Reassessment of mistakes is therefore also important after they have been found
When errors are not affecting trial balance: If an account includes quick debit or surplus credit
then ought to debit the account in question. However when an account contains a brief credit or
large amounts debit, humans have to credit the address involved. Explanations of certain
mistakes are total omission to monitor an entrance in the journal or in the holding company
books, inaccurate transcription of purchases in the journals, comprehensive inaccuracy of writing
and inconsistencies of concept (Pelz, 2019).
When errors affecting trial balance: Mistakes in casting, errors in wanting to carry the
equilibrium, mistakes in trying to balance the transactions, mistakes in submitting the wrong
amount in the right location, errors in submitting the right address on the losing end, failure to
show the address in the trial balance, inaccuracies in submitting the opposite side with the
incorrect size are illustrations of manipulating people the financial statement.
