Accounting Concepts

Accounting Period

An accounting period is a designated time frame during which a company records and reports its financial transactions. 

This period can be set monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the company’s preferences. At the end of each period, financial statements are generated to evaluate key aspects like profit, cash flow, and overall financial position, ensuring organized and consistent financial management.

Cash Accounting Method

Cash accounting records financial transactions only when cash is received or paid. This method is simple and provides a clear view of cash flow, making it ideal for small businesses or those seeking straightforward cash management. 

However, it doesn’t reflect outstanding receivables or payables, limiting visibility into a company’s overall financial obligations.

Accrual Accounting Method

Accrual accounting records revenues and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged. This method offers a more comprehensive view of a company’s financial health, helping to track liabilities, manage budgets, and forecast future cash flows. It best suits larger businesses with complex operations and long-term financial planning needs.
