DO YOU KNOW WHY ACCOUNTING POLICIES MATTER?

Two businesses can face similar transactions but still need to apply accounting policies consistently when preparing their records.

Accounting policies provide a framework for how certain transactions and financial information are treated and reported.

Understanding the principles behind accounting helps you recognize why consistency matters when financial information is prepared and reviewed.

Bridging The Gap takes participants beyond basic transaction recording and into the principles used to understand and prepare accounting information.

WHAT DOES THE CHART OF ACCOUNTS TELL YOU ABOUT A BUSINESS?

Before accounting software can organize financial information, someone must determine how the accounts should be structured.

The chart of accounts provides the framework for classifying and organizing financial transactions, including assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses.

A well-designed chart of accounts makes it easier to track transactions, prepare financial statements and review business performance. Poor structure can make reports difficult to interpret and affect the accuracy of accounting records.

Bridging The Gap introduces chart of accounts structure and accounting technology, helping participants understand how an accounting system connects to the financial information it produces.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ACCOUNTING PERIOD COMES TO AN END?

The end of an accounting period does not simply mean stopping where you left off.

Before the records can be finalized, certain accounts need to be reviewed, adjustments may need to be recorded, and transactions may need to be checked for accuracy and completeness. Temporary accounts may also need to be closed so that the next accounting period can begin with the appropriate balances.

This process helps ensure that income and expenses are reported in the correct period and that the financial statements present a more accurate picture of the business.

Understanding the closing process is an important part of knowing how accounting periods work and how financial information is carried from one period to another. It also helps explain the difference between adjusting entries, closing entries and the preparation of records for a new period.

Bridging The Gap covers adjusting and closing entries, helping participants understand the steps involved in bringing an accounting period to a proper close. Through practical examples and guided instruction, participants will learn how these entries affect the accounting records and why each step matters.

DO YOU KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTING BASIS YOU’RE WORKING WITH?

Cash basis and accrual basis accounting can produce very different pictures of a business’s financial activity.

Understanding the difference helps you recognize when income and expenses are recorded, how transactions affect the accounts, and why financial information can look different depending on the accounting basis being used.

With cash basis accounting, transactions are generally recorded when money is received or paid. With accrual basis accounting, income and expenses are recorded when they are earned or incurred, even if payment has not yet taken place.

Knowing which basis is being used is important when reviewing financial statements, analyzing business performance and making informed decisions.

Bridging The Gap covers cash versus accrual basis accounting as part of its accounting fundamentals, giving participants a stronger foundation for understanding how financial records are prepared, adjusted and interpreted.

Recording a transaction is just one part of the accounting process. At period-end, adjustments may be needed before the accounts are ready for reporting.

Bridging The Gap gives participants the opportunity to work through adjusting journal entries, trial balances, and practical accounting exercises while understanding why adjustments are made and how they affect the records.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN REVENUE IS RECEIVED BEFORE IT IS EARNED?

Receiving money does not always mean it should immediately be recorded as revenue.

In some situations, a customer may pay for goods or services before the business has delivered them. When this happens, the amount received may need to be recorded as deferred revenue until the business fulfills its obligation and the revenue is earned.

Deferred revenue is an important accounting concept because the timing of receiving payment and earning the revenue may be different. Recording the transaction correctly helps ensure that income is reported in the appropriate accounting period.

Bridging The Gap covers deferred revenue, prepaid expenses and adjusting entries, helping participants understand how these items are treated when accounting records are prepared, reviewed and adjusted.

Participants will also explore how timing differences can affect account balances, financial statements and the overall accuracy of financial information.

Not every accounting problem starts with an obvious error.

Sometimes the issue is in the process itself. A missing approval, unclear responsibility, limited documentation or unrestricted access can create risks that may not be noticed until they become more serious.

Who approves a transaction?
Who has access to the records?
What gets reviewed?
What evidence supports the transaction?
Are duties properly separated?

Strong internal controls help organizations protect their assets, improve the reliability of financial information and identify problems before they grow.

Bridging The Gap introduces internal controls, sampling, testing and basic control procedures, with hands-on exercises designed to help participants examine how controls work in practice. Participants will also have the opportunity to connect these concepts to real accounting processes and everyday business situations.
