Accounting Unreferenced date January 2008 accounting stub In financial accounting , provision is a word that creates an ambiguous account title. In U.S. GAAP, provision means an expense, while in IFRS, International Financial Reporting Standards, it means a liability. So, in the U.S., Provision for Income Taxes means the same thing as Income Tax Expense, while under IFRS, Provision for Income Taxes means Liability for Income Taxes Payable. Another examples is provisions for warranty costs expense in the US and liability in IFRS . Sometimes in IFRS, but not in US GAAP, the term reserve accounting reserve is used instead of term provision such a use, however, is inconsistent with the terminology suggested by International Accounting Standards Board. Citation needed date January 2008 Reserve, which seems to be one of the most confusing terms in accounting, has the connotation of a debit balance to non professionals but in accounting always means an account with a credit balance. Reserve for Warranties means estimated liability for future warranty repairs and replacements, NOT a pool of cash set aside for the firm to use in making repairs. Provision In IFRS, but not US GAAP, a present obligation which satisfies the rest of the definition of a liability, even if the amount of the obligation has to be estimated.

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 . There are two Value economics value s attached to any transaction acquisition value and transaction value.

Multiple issues orphan February 2009 unreferenced June 2007 context October 2009 Backflush accounting is a product costing approach, used in a Just In Time business Just In Time JIT operating environment, in which costing is delayed until goods are finished. Standard costs are then flushed backward through the system to assign costs to products. The result is that detailed tracking of costs is eliminated. Journal entries to inventory accounts may be delayed until the time of product completion or even the time of sale, and standard costs are used to assign costs to units when journal entries are made, that is, to flush costs backward to the points at which inventories remain. It can be argued that backflush accounting simplifies costing since it ignores both labour variance accounting variances and work in progress. Backflush accounting is employed where the overall business cycle time is relatively short and inventory levels are low. BackFlush accounting is inappropriate when production process is long and this has been attributed as a major flaw in the design of the concept. Meaning of Back flushing Back flushing can be referred to as automatic goods issue. Systems will automatically post the goods issue when you confirm the operations. You have no need to make manual issue, thus reducing effort and costs. Back flushing is automatic accounting of material consumed for production, at the time of confirmation of the production, e.g. when a 4 wheeler automobile is rolled out from assembly line, 4 wheels and tires are deemed to be consumed and issued to production order automatically by way of back flushing by the system. The assembly line picks the material from Stores Assembly line and use. No physical issue and manual posting of goods issue by stores is made. Back flush is used for materials which are requires for the product and have a fixed relationship with the product.
