In this module, we will start with cash and accrual topics. This simple concept allows you to record the sale or purchase of an item even if you haven’t received payment.

Cash Method

This accounting method means that you will only record the money once you receive it. An example includes recording a cash deposit once the bank receives your cash.

Accrual Method

This method of accounting records income or expenses incurred, regardless of when the actual cash is received or paid. Workdays, for example, are recorded and considered earned income whether the worker has yet to receive the salary.

An income statement summarizes the amounts of revenue earned and the expenses incurred by your business over a specific period of time. This gives you an overview of revenues and expenditures over a fiscal quarter of the year. Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement provides information on the source of the money and how the money was spent during a specific time period. This is critical since it allows you to track its origin, by indicating which types of transactions help create cash flow.

• Operating cash flow

• Outbound cash flow

• Inbound cash flow

Capital Statement

The capital statement contains information on the items that are going to last for longer than one year, like the long term assets of the business. The capital statement keeps track of the owner's account prior, current, and ending balance.

Budget vs. Actual

Budgets are created to help businesses plan for the future and control the long term operations and spending of the company. Past financial statements, for example, can be used as a basis for determining which works and doesn't work.
