Computec is a sole trader business that buys and resells computer parts. This business will adhere mainly to three concepts when preparing financial statements they are; the business entity concept, the accruals concept and the prudence concept.
The business entity concept treats the business or an organization and its owners as two separately identifiable parties this means that the personal transactions of owners are treated separately from those of the business for which data are recorded, analyzed, and reported.
The accruals concept means that the Business transactions are recorded when they occur and not when the related payments are received or made. This concept is called accrual basis of accounting and it is fundamental to the usefulness of financial accounting information.
The prudence concept makes sure that assets and income are not overstated and liabilities and expenses are not understated. You should not overestimate the amount of revenues that you record, nor underestimate the amount of expenses.
