Basic Concepts of Accounting - Q&A Format


Q: What is the Business Entity Concept?

A: The Business Entity Concept states that a business is treated as a separate legal entity from its

owner(s). Business transactions are recorded separately from the owner's personal finances.


Q: What is the Money Measurement Concept?

A: Only transactions measurable in monetary terms are recorded in the books. Qualitative aspects

like reputation or employee skills are excluded.


Q: What is the Going Concern Concept?

A: It assumes that the business will continue operations in the foreseeable future. This justifies

deferring certain expenses and depreciating fixed assets over time.


Q: What is the Cost Concept?

A: Assets are recorded at their original purchase price, not current market value. This ensures

consistency and verifiability.


Q: What is the Dual Aspect Concept?

A: Every transaction affects at least two accounts, keeping the accounting equation (Assets =

Liabilities + Capital) balanced.


Q: What is the Accounting Period Concept?

A: Financial statements are prepared for a specific period, typically one fiscal year, to assess

performance and aid audits and tax reporting.


Q: What is the Matching Concept?

A: Revenues are matched with related expenses in the same period to provide a true view of

financial performance.
