Unreferenced date March 2010 In accounting , liquidity or accounting liquidity is a measure of the ability of a debtor to pay his debts as and when they fall due. It is usually expressed as a ratio or a percentage of current liability accounting liabilities . Calculating liquidity For a corporation with a published balance sheet there are various ratios used to calculate a measure of liquidity. These include the following the current ratio , which is the simplest measure and is calculated by dividing the total current assets by the total current liabilities. A value of over 100 is normal in a non banking corporation. However, some current assets are more difficult to sell at full value in a hurry. the quick ratio calculated by deducting inventories and prepayments from current assets and then dividing by current liabilities gives a measure of the ability to meet current liabilities from assets that can be readily sold. A better way for a trading corporation to meet liabilities is from cash flows, rather than through asset sales, so the operating cash flow ratio can be calculated by dividing the operating cash flow by current liabilities . This indicates the ability to service current debt from current income, rather than through asset sales. Understanding the ratios For different industries and differing legal systems the use of differing ratios and results would be appropriate. For instance, in a country with a legal system that gives a slow or uncertain result a higher level of liquidity would be appropriate to cover the uncertainty related to the valuation of assets. A manufacturer with stable cash flows may find a lower quick ratio more appropriate than an Internet based start up corporation.

A concept first named by Richard Thaler 1980 , mental accounting attempts to describe the process whereby people code, categorize and evaluate economic outcomes. One detailed application of mental accounting, the behavioral life cycle hypothesis Shefrin & Thaler, 1988 , posits that people mentally frame assets as belonging to either current income, current wealth or future income and this has implications for their behavior as the accounts are largely non fungible and marginal propensity to consume out of each account is different. Mental accounting, utility, value and transaction In mental accounting theory, framing means that the way a person subjectively frames a transaction in their mind will determine the utility they receive or expect. This concept is similarly used in prospect theory , and many mental accounting theorists adopt that theory as the value function prospect theory value function in their analysis. Another very important concept used to understand mental accounting is that of modified utility function .

Multiple issues refimprove July 2008 orphan August 2008 In accounting , reconciliation refers to a process that compares two sets of records usually the Balance accounting balances of two Account accountancy account s to make sure they are in agreement. Reconciliation is used to ensure that the money leaving an account matches the actual money spent, this is done by making sure the balances match at the end of a particular accounting period. Well reconciliations refers to two sets of records what is being put in the well compared to what actual costs are being spent . Each account is given a work breakdown structure number WBS that will determine the cost of the well. The two numbers are compared to assure that they balance at the end of the accounting cycle. There is usually a difference. There are, in general, five types of general ledger accounts that the typical business accounting system deals with Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue and Expense. Income Statement Revenue and Expense accounts eventually get closed out into an Equity account called Retained Earnings at the end of the fiscal year and their balances start over again at zero. Balance Sheet accounts Asset, Liability & Equity , however, continue to roll their balances from period to period and year to year. To ensure the reliability of the financial records reconciliations must, therefore, be performed for all Balance Sheet accounts on a regular and ongoing basis. A robust reconciliation process improves the accuracy of the financial reporting function and allows the Finance Department to publish financial reports with confidence. ref http instantcontroller.com 2010 12 intercompany reconciliations ref See also Bank reconciliation References references Category Banking terms and equipment Accounting stub economy stub de berleitung Rechnungslegung ja ... more details
