Chapter 14: Easily Find Accounting Terms

Into the book
If the account title for the transaction is clear: Use clear account title

If the account subject for the transaction is the same as the above: There is no problem if you select one account subject and continue to use that account subject for the same transaction.
However, problems can arise if the account titles change back and forth for the same transaction.

If you use an account subject arbitrarily: This may cause accounting and tax problems.
When determining and filing accounting items according to tax law standards: There will be no problem for companies that are not audited, but there may be a problem for companies that are subject to audit.

In the case of arbitrarily using account subjects to evade taxes: for example, to avoid corporate business expenses (= entertainment expenses), they are treated as welfare expenses, or taxable salaries are hidden in welfare expenses to avoid being included in taxation. However, since taxes follow the principle of actual taxation, if the expenditure is subject to taxation, it is taxed regardless of the account subject.
---Among the “non-fixed account subjects”

The difference between accounts receivable (accounts payable) and accounts receivable (accounts payable) is the relevance of the company's unique business (in the case of manufacturing, manufacturing is the unique business; in the case of sales companies, selling products is the unique business; in the case of service industries, providing services is the unique business).
In other words, credit transactions related to the company's own business (sales of goods and products) are processed as credit sales (credit payables), and credit transactions unrelated to this are processed as accounts receivable (accounts payable).

For example, in the case of a company that manufactures and sells products directly, credit transactions related to inventory assets such as products or raw materials are processed as credit sales (credit payable: manufacturing cost by adding transportation costs to the cost price when purchasing) including incidental costs.
On the other hand, in the case of wholesale and retail businesses, if purchased goods are sold on credit, they are processed as accounts receivable.

The bottom line is that when an asset recorded as inventory of a company is sold on credit, the accounts receivable account is used.

On the other hand, accounts receivable refer to the unpaid amount from the sale of tangible assets such as supplies excluding inventory assets, or the unpaid amount for tax refunds.

Among the incidental expenses, transportation costs related to manufacturing are added to the manufacturing cost (in case of credit, it is credit payable), and in case of selling a finished product and paying it on credit, it is processed as credit sales.

[Accounts Receivable (Accounts Payable)]

· Accounts receivable is when you sell a product or merchandise and receive money later.
· Selling goods, products, or services that are inventory assets and making them available on credit
· In the case of sales companies, credit sales of goods (merchandise, products) listed in the inventory asset list on the financial statements
· For service companies, provision of services on credit

[Accounts Receivable (Accounts Payable)]

· Selling things other than goods, products, or services on credit
· Credit transactions other than sales, such as sales of tangible assets and tax refunds
· In the case of sales companies, sales of tangible assets other than inventory assets on the financial statements, and receivable of tax refunds
· For service companies, sales of tangible assets other than services and receivable of tax refunds
---From "The Difference Between Accounts Receivable (Accounts Payable) and Accounts Receivable (Accounts Payable)"

1.
When filing value-added tax and withholding tax returns, you must check for omissions in tax invoices and supply prices. In the case of goods imported from overseas, you must review the relevant information when filing value-added tax returns.
2.
When preparing financial statements, the greater the number of account items, the more difficult it is to settle accounts, and the classification of personnel expenses, such as employee salaries, must be accurate to maintain the accuracy of financial statements.
3.
The entries for each account must be accurate, and to minimize omissions in specific account items, the beginning inventory and purchase and sales details must be accurately reflected in the ledger at the time of closing.
4.
Even after preparing financial statements, it is essential to review external audit standards. Caution is required as legal sanctions may apply if audit standards are not met.
5.

· The meaning of a high equity capital growth rate

A high equity capital growth rate means the following:
Expansion of business scale: This means that the size of the company's business capital is growing significantly.
Increased shareholder value: If the equity capital growth rate is 10%, it means that the shareholder's share increases by 10% every year, and the average annual return on investment is 10%.
Increase in internal reserves: Shows that the surplus accumulated internally among the profits generated through operating activities is increasing.

· Low or negative equity growth rate

If equity capital does not increase but rather decreases, the equity capital growth rate will have a negative value.
This can be seen as a red flag that corporate capital is no longer growing and is decreasing.
---From "Capital Growth Rate"
