Each business transaction performed by the organization must be documented and reflected in the accounts. accounting by double entry. At the same time, corresponding changes occur in the balance sheet, which can be grouped depending on their impact on the equality of assets and liabilities.
Business transactions arising in the course of the enterprise's activities do not violate the equality of the totals of assets and liabilities, while the amounts in the context of individual items and the totals of the balance sheet may change. This is due to the fact that each business transaction affects two balance sheet items, while they can be in the asset or liability, or both in the asset and in the liability.
Depending on the nature of changes in balance sheet items, business transactions are divided into four types:
First type. Business transactions lead to a regrouping of the items of the balance sheet asset - the composition of the property, and the liability does not change (i.e., changes affect only the balance sheet asset, while the balance sheet currency is preserved):
Example:
Opening balance:
Dt 10 "Materials" - 100,000 (assets)
Dt 20 "Main production" - 20000 (assets)
Total for Dt 120000 (assets)
Operations:
Released materials from the warehouse in the amount of 70,000 rubles to the main production. Dt20 "Main production" / Kt 10 "Materials"
Final balance:
Dt 10 "Materials" - 30000 (assets)
Dt 20 "Main production" - 90000 (assets)
Total for Dt 120000 (assets)
Kt 80 "Authorized capital" - 120,000 (passive)
Second type. Business transactions lead to a regrouping of balance sheet liabilities, and the asset does not change (that is, changes occur only in the balance sheet liabilities, while the balance sheet currency remains unchanged):
Opening balance:
Kt 82 "Reserve capital" - 10000 (passive)
Kt 84 " Undestributed profits» - 190000 (passive)
Total Kt 210000 (passive)
Operations:
Part of the retained earnings, based on the puncture of the meeting of the founders, is aimed at increasing the reserve capital in the amount of 120,000 rubles.
Dt 84 "Retained earnings" / Kg 82 "Reserve capital"
Final balance:
Dt 51 "Settlement account" - 210000 (asset)
Kt 84 "Retained earnings" - 70,000 (passive)
Kt82 "Reserve capital" - 130,000 (passive)
Kt 80 "Authorized capital" - 10000 (passive)
Total Kt 210000 (passive)
Third type. Asset and liability items increase by the same amount, while the totals of the asset and liability increase, but equality between them is preserved (i.e., changes occur in both the asset and liability of the balance sheet by the same amount, while the balance sheet currency increases):
Opening balance:
Dt 10 "Materials" - 110000 (assets)
Kt 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" 100000 (passive)
Kt 80 "Authorized capital" - 10000 (passive)
Total Kt 110000 (passive)
Operation:
Materials were received from suppliers and credited to the warehouse of the enterprise in the amount of 60,000 rubles.
Dt 10 "Materials" / Kt60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors"
Final balance:
Dt 10 "Materials" - 170,000 (assets)
Kt 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" - 160000 (passive)
Kt 80 "Authorized capital" - 10000 (passive)
Total Kt 170000 (passive)
Fourth type. Changes occur in the asset and liability in the direction of decreasing by the same amount when the balance currency is equal: Example:
Opening balance:
Dt 50 "Cashier" - 140000 (active)
Kt 70 "Settlements with personnel for wages" - 130,000 (passive)
Kt 80 "Authorized capital" - 10000 (passive)
Total Kt 140000 (passive)
Operation:
Wages paid to employees of the enterprise in the amount of 130,000 rubles were paid from the cash desk.
Dt 70 "Settlements with personnel for remuneration" / Kt 50 "Cashier"
Final balance:
Kt 50 "Cashier" - 100,000 (asset)
Dt 70 "Settlements with personnel for wages" - 0 (passive)
Kt 80 "Authorized capital" - 10000 (passive)
Thus, any business transaction is reflected in the accounts in a double-entry manner, and at the same time, the equality of debit and credit turnovers on the accounts and the equality of assets and liabilities of the balance sheet are maintained.
The grouping of business transactions on accounts according to economically homogeneous characteristics is called systematic record, registration of transactions in the order in which they were performed - chronological record.
When entering data primary documents both chronological and systematic reflection of operations, on the basis of which accounting registers are formed, automatically takes place in the corresponding sections of the software.
Accounting registers- accounting documents, in which there is a generalization of primary accounting data. Forms of accounting registers are approved by the head economic entity.
Mandatory details of the accounting register are:
Accounting registers can be maintained manually or using software. They can be in the form of cards, books, statements, magazines.
Correction of errors in accounts can be done in the following ways:
The general accounting register is turnover balance sheet. It is compiled for reporting period on analytical and synthetic accounts. In the balance sheet, there are three pairs of columns that reflect the balance, and the turnover on debit and credit. With proper accounting, the enterprise should have three pairs of equal totals for synthetic accounts: the opening balance, the closing balance, and the debit and credit turnover for the reporting period must match.
Examples of compiling balance sheets for accounts are given in Table. 1.6 and 1.7.
Account balances at the beginning of the period:
Business transactions per month:
Table 1.6
Turnover balance sheet according to synthetic accounts for_20
The end of the table. 1.6
Turnover balance sheets for analytical accounting accounts are used separately for each synthetic account accounting for which analytical accounting is maintained. But it should be borne in mind that such a statement will not contain three pairs of identical totals, because it does not show the relationship between operations, but reveals the movement on a specific synthetic account.
Analytical account balances to the account "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" at the beginning of the period:
Chermet LLC - 19000;
Metallic LLC - 30000.
Business transactions per month:
Table 1.7
Turnover balance sheet for analytical accounts to the synthetic account "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" for_20_years
Further, on the basis of the balance sheet, a balance sheet is compiled: the debit balance is transferred to the corresponding sections of the asset, the loan balance is transferred to the liability. The following balance sheet items are an exception: fixed assets and intangible assets(in the turnover sheet they are reflected in separate amounts: the initial cost on the debit of account 01, and the depreciation on the credit of account 02; their residual value is indicated in the balance sheet: initial cost minus depreciation).
Losses reflected in the debit turnover sheet are indicated in the balance sheet in liabilities with a minus sign (as negative profit).
Based on this example, the balance will contain the following indicators (Table 1.8):

One of the tasks of accounting is the formation of information about the assets, liabilities of the company, its income, expenses and significant facts of the organization's activities. Most often, business transactions are the subject of accounting.
In activity manufacturing enterprise or an organization that performs work or provides services, there are three processes:
Processes consist of a set of business transactions.
A business transaction in accounting is an action (fact), the result of which is changes in the composition, location of property and sources of its formation. For example, the movement of cash, material values, obligations.
Business processes in accounting are reflected as business transactions are performed - while the fact of the commission and the result become the subject of accounting.
Accounting in the economic accounting system distinguishes 4 types of operations depending on their impact on the balance sheet.

Type I - these are transactions that reduce one asset item "at the expense" of another. Examples: receipt of finished products at the warehouse, receipt of funds from the current account to the cashier. There is a change in the composition of the property of the organization, but not its total amount:
Type II - postings affect only liability items. For example: increased reserve capital at the expense of profits. Such business transactions in accounting lead to changes in the composition of liabilities and sources of funds, without affecting their total assessment:
Type III - postings, as a result of which the value of property increases, and at the same time, liabilities increase. Examples are the purchase of fixed assets, obtaining a loan. In this case, the balance currency changes:
IV type - accounting entries, reducing the level of liabilities or equity of the organization due to a decrease in assets. A common example: accounts payable. A business transaction affects the article of both an asset and a liability and leads to their decrease:
This principle is also used to classify primary accounting documents.
Consider, for example, a list of business operations of an enterprise engaged in the assembly and sale of watches. In April, a consignment of goods was assembled: the cost of components amounted to 284,000 rubles, wages for assemblers - 110,000 rubles. The product was sold for 655,018 rubles. (including VAT 99,918 rubles).

|||

|||

Operations No. 1 and 5 are examples of Types I and II - will lead to changes in the asset and liability, but will not affect the balance sheet. Operations No. 2, 3, 6, 7 are an example of accounts that affect the total balance sheet of an enterprise.

Unified social tax
The tax base for the UST is determined as the sum of payments and other remuneration accrued by taxpayers for taxable period in favor of individuals. In our case, the amount of a one-time material assistance in the amount of 750 rubles provided to Mikheev in January is not subject to taxation, in accordance with the fact that it is not included in income tax expenses.
The amount of UST is calculated by multiplying tax base for the corresponding tax rate.

Calculation of depreciation deductions for equipment that is on the balance sheet of Alpha LLC for the 1st quarter of 2008
AT accounting policy Alfa LLC fixed a straight-line depreciation method, which provides for depreciation evenly over the useful life of the object. With this method, depreciation is calculated based on the initial cost of the object and the depreciation rate calculated from useful life use of this object.
Depreciation rate - the amount of depreciation, set as a percentage of the book value of the relevant fixed assets.
The depreciation rate for the month (On) is calculated by the formula:
where Tn is the useful life (year).
The total amount of depreciation for the year is calculated by the formula:
where OFp - the initial cost of fixed assets.
In this example, the OFP according to the balance sheet as of 01.01.08 is 216975 rubles, the useful life is 8 years.
The depreciation rate as a percentage will be:
Then the amount of depreciation for each year will be:
The monthly depreciation will be:
In the journal of business transactions for January and February this amount will be reflected by the wiring:
Dt 20 "Main production" - Kt 02 "Depreciation of fixed assets".
In February, Alfa LLC received new equipment in the amount of 19665 rubles, the service life is 8 years, in accordance with accounting policy the depreciation method is linear and the accrual starts from the next month after the acceptance of the equipment into operation, i.e. since March.
The depreciation rate for new equipment as a percentage will be:
Then the total depreciation in March will be:
A \u003d 205 + 2260 \u003d 2465 rubles.
The tax base is defined as average annual cost property subject to taxation. When determining the tax base, property is taken into account at its residual value, formed in accordance with the established accounting procedure. The residual value of the property is the difference between the initial cost and the amount of depreciation at the end of each tax (reporting) period (TC RF, Chapter 30, Article 375).

Reflection of correspondence of accounting accounts for all business transactions, double entry method. Journal of registration: the type of business transactions that cause changes in the balance sheet. Synthetic accounts, drawing up a turnover sheet for the month.
Business transactions take place. They are elements of the processes taking place in the enterprise, or facts economic life companies. Economic, accounting operations affect the financial position of the company.
A business transaction is a separate action, as a result of which the volume, composition, use and placement of funds and their sources change. AT economic terms any fact has 2 addresses. Changes in one object provoke an adjustment in another by the same amount. A business transaction is an event or action that leads to a statement of the means and sources available to the enterprise.
Business transactions on the balance sheet affect the assets, that is, the property of the enterprise. They may also relate to the sources of its formation (passive). There are events that affect both parts of the reporting. The facts of economic life constantly affect in turn, leads to an adjustment in the value of articles of both asset and liability.
There are the following types of business transactions:
Every fact of economic life must be determined in time, evaluated. In accordance with this, the accounts of business transactions are filled. The definition of a fact in time is determined by the need to establish the moment of registration. The dates reflect:
Each business transaction must have its own cost at the time of completion. Enterprise in without fail evaluates the property to reflect it in the documents in monetary terms. In accordance with the current accounting principles, all liabilities, assets, equity, expenses, receipts should be reflected in the appropriate value.
Material values, purchased for a fee, are valued by summing the actual costs of the purchase. Property received free of charge is accepted at the market price in effect on the date of posting. Material values created at the enterprise itself are valued at the cost of production.
The completed business transaction is executed on paper or electronic media. By means of these documents primary registration of events is carried out. Registration is carried out in the sequence in which the operations were performed. This order allows:
In addition, financial discipline is ensured at the enterprise, since it acts as the main source of information for further supervision over the appropriateness, correctness, and legality of each operation.
Formation of information connection arising in the process of registration of facts economic activity company, in the nomenclature of the plan is called correspondence. It is worth saying that it also reflects legal relations between subjects. Correspondence may be systematic or chronological. The facts of economic activity are reflected in the accounts according to the principle (rule) of double entry. Its essence lies in the fact that any event is registered twice. Information is reflected in the debit and credit of the account. Such an entry has a control value.
The total debit turnover on synthetic accounts for the month should be equal to the amount of credit. If the values do not match, then an error was made when reflecting events. In accordance with the principle of double entry, the information link that occurs between accounting objects can be shown different ways. For example, a formulaic image reflects the name of the corresponding accounts. In this case, the numerical value of the entry is indicated. reflection in primary documentation is called a contraction.
Within its practical activities The accountant needs to answer three questions. They are defined as:
Three key tasks follow from this, the solution of which will allow the correct formation of documentary reporting:
Accounting, like any other discipline, has its own subject, objects of observation, specific methods and techniques for registering, collecting, summarizing, accumulating data and transferring them to users. The completeness and reliability of reporting will depend on the competent use of existing tools. This, in turn, will enable stakeholders to get a timely view of the financial position of the firm.
Reporting is necessary for both external and internal users. The former include investors, creditors, contractors. Internal users are participants, employees of the management apparatus. Reporting allows you to identify areas of spending funds, the validity of costs, loss-making areas of the enterprise. Based on the results of information analysis, important management decisions are made.
What types of business transactions are and how it is reflected in accounting records, we will tell in this material.
When talking about the types of business transactions, they mean their grouping depending on the impact on the value of assets (A) and liabilities (P) of the balance sheet.
Thus, the following four types of business transactions are distinguished:
Below we explain how to determine the type of business transaction.
This type of business transactions involves a change in the composition or structure of the assets of the balance sheet.
