LITERATURE REVIEW OF ACCOUNTING FOR SALES
OVERVIWE OF ACCOUNTING FOR SALES & DERTERMINATION OF
1.1.1 Concept of accounting for sales and determination of business activity results
1.1.1.1 Concept of accounting for sales
A sale involves transferring ownership of a product, good, or service to a customer, while also entitling the seller to receive payment The income generated from these sales is referred to as revenue, and it can be recorded either prior to or during the collection of funds.
There are two forms of sales:
1.1.1.2 The concept of accounting determines consumption results
Consumption results in an enterprise are the results of production and business activities, financial performance results and other operating results.
The outcome of production and business activities is determined by subtracting the costs associated with goods sold, selling expenses, and administrative expenses from the net sales of goods and services.
Financial performance is the difference between a financial revenue from one side and a financial expense on the other.
The determination of business results in an enterprise is usually conducted at the end of the period and such results are expressed in profit indicators.
Turnover represents the total economic benefits an enterprise gains during an accounting period from its regular business and production activities, which ultimately enhances equity Revenue from transactions is based on agreements between the enterprise and the buyer, calculated at fair value after accounting for trade discounts, sales rebates, and returns To accurately record revenue, certain conditions must be met.
Turnover and expenses related to the same transaction must be simultaneously recognized according to the matching principle and must comply with the fiscal year.
In accordance with Points 10, 16, and 24 of the Standard for Revenue and Other Income under the current accounting regime, revenue can only be recognized in the accounting period when the criteria for recording sales revenue, service income, interest income, royalties, dividends, and shared profits are simultaneously met.
When the conditions for revenue recognition are not satisfied, the revenue account is not recorded.
According to Point 10 of the Revenue and Other Income Standard - the current accounting regime, sales revenue is recognized when all five of the following conditions are simultaneously met:
1 The enterprise has transferred most of the risks and benefits associated with ownership of the product or goods to the buyer.
2 The enterprise retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
3 Turnover is determined with relative certainty.
4 The enterprise has gained or will gain economic benefits from sales transactions.
5 Determining expenses related to sales transactions.
According to Point 16 of the Revenue and Other Income Standard - the current accounting regime, the transaction revenue of service provision is recognized when all four following conditions are satisfied:
1 Turnover is determined with relative certainty.
2 Being able to obtain economic benefits from the service provision transaction.
3 Determining the completed work piece on the date of making the Balance Sheet.
4 Determine the costs incurred for the transaction and the cost to complete the transaction to provide that service.
According to Point 24 of the Revenue and Other Income Standard, the current accounting framework recognizes revenue from interest, royalties, dividends, and shared profits when it meets specific criteria, outlined in four essential conditions.
1 Being able to gain economic benefits from such transactions.
1.1.1.4 Cost of goods sold concept
The cost of goods sold (COGS) is a crucial economic indicator that represents the total expenses deducted from net revenue to assess a business's performance for each accounting period This figure is typically recognized concurrently with revenue, following the appropriate accounting methods for sales and deductible expenses.
Businesses acquire goods for warehousing, immediate delivery, or consignment from various sources, leading to fluctuating values over time To accurately determine the actual price of warehouse inventory, it is essential to employ one of several calculation methods.
- First in - First out (FIFO) method.
1.1.1.5 The concept of selling expenses
Selling expenses refer to the costs incurred by businesses for the promotion and sale of their products or services These expenses include salaries and commissions for sales personnel, costs associated with sales tools, and advertising expenditures Understanding selling expenses is crucial for businesses to manage their budgets effectively and optimize their sales strategies.
1.1.1.6 General and administration expenses concept
General and administration expenses encompass costs that are essential for the overall operation of a business and cannot be attributed to any specific activity These expenses include various categories, such as those related to managing inventory consumption, administrative functions, and other general operational costs.
1.1.1.7 Concept of revenue from financial activities
Receivables encompass various income sources, including interest earnings, income from asset leasing and rentals, dividends, and shared profits They also include revenues from securities investment and trading, as well as income generated from the transfer or lease of infrastructure Additionally, receivables can arise from other investment activities, interest differentials from foreign currency sales, and differences in transfer interest and capital.
Financial expenses encompass costs associated with financial investment activities, including losses from loans, borrowings, and capital contributions to joint ventures and associates This category also includes expenses related to the transfer of short-term securities, transaction costs for securities, provisions for the devaluation of securities investments, and losses incurred from selling foreign currencies and exchange rate fluctuations.
Infrequent activities generate various types of receivables, including revenues from the sale of goods, redundant assets, and fully allocated tools, which may not require immediate payment Additionally, revenues can arise from asset liquidation, the recovery of previously written-off bad debts, and the reversal of provisions for inventory devaluation.
Expenses arising from distinct events or operations outside the normal activities of enterprises include costs related to the liquidation and sale of fixed assets, as well as their residual values Additionally, they encompass losses from the revaluation of supplies, goods, and fixed assets contributed to joint ventures, investments in associated companies, and other long-term investments Other notable expenses include fines for breaching economic contracts, retrospective tax payments, and various miscellaneous costs.
1.1.2 The meaning of accounting for sales and determination of business results
The consumption of finished products is crucial for a business's success, as it directly influences competitiveness and market prestige Sales figures serve as key indicators of overall quality and reflect the financial outcomes of business operations A strong financial performance indicates effective management and provides opportunities for enhancing financial capacity.
Business results play a crucial role in helping companies monitor their activities through key performance indicators These indicators enable businesses to pinpoint the factors influencing their operations, ultimately fostering an environment conducive to effective development and growth.
1.1.3 Task of accounting for sales and determination of business results
Calculate, record, accurately reflect expenses related to business results to accurately reflect business results through each period and each activity.
Timely accounting of profit distribution situation, providing sufficient data for the quarterly finalization.
Participate in stocktaking, evaluation, reporting periodic business results,monitoring the payment situation and business results of the business.
THE METHOD OF SALES AND PROCEDURES VOUCHERS
In this method, the buyer designates professional staff to receive goods at warehouses or factories upon purchase Once the transaction is finalized and sale documents are signed, the goods are considered consumed, and the buyer assumes all losses incurred during transportation (Pham & Associate, 2011).
Under this method, businesses ship goods to agents based on contractual terms, while retaining ownership until the items are sold Upon contract completion, businesses provide agents with a remuneration known as an agency commission, which is calculated as a percentage of the total sales price and recorded in the sales account (Pham & Associate, 2011).
1.2.1.3 Deferred or installment payment method
Middle-income consumers often purchase high-value items through deferred installment payment plans, allowing them to pay a portion upfront at the time of purchase and the remainder over several periods This method, while convenient, typically includes an interest rate known as deferred or installment interest (Pham & Associate, 2011).
Under this method, a business transfers goods to the buyer as per a signed sales contract, retaining ownership until payment is made or accepted through a signed delivery voucher Once the goods are delivered, they are considered consumed, and the business bears any losses incurred during shipping This approach is typically used for customers who maintain regular purchasing relationships with the enterprise (Pham & Associate, 2011).
Businesses can utilize their products not only for sales but also for paying salaries, employee bonuses, and acquiring materials and goods as requested by the state (Pham & Associate, 2011).
When processing sales, it is essential for the seller to issue appropriate invoices, such as Ministry of Finance VAT invoice deductions, VAT invoices, or registered and approved invoices Additionally, related documents like cash receipts, delivery bills, bank notices, and sales lists are important Upon receiving a written purchase request from a customer, the chief accountant must evaluate whether to approve the sale If approved, the request is signed by the chief accountant and sent for director approval Once approved, the purchase request is forwarded to the warehouse, where storekeepers create a delivery bill based on the purchase amount This delivery bill is then submitted to the accounting department for VAT invoicing The VAT invoice is prepared in triplicate: one copy is retained in the receipt book, the second is given to the customer, and the third is used for internal record-keeping.
