The best accounting teacher ever

I got the first two right away, second one was completely wrong. I’m finishing my accounting bachelors in the next 6 months so it’s nice to learn as much as possible. Please keep these videos up been watching you for a couple years now.

That's great!

Hi Bill, thank you for your time to share your accounting knowledge with us. It’s really good your videos. Congrats!

This is actually a pretty fun learning excersize.

[@cedricb.5414]

Wow thank you very much. I just found your KZbin channel. I have been looking for this kind of materials reached by real life professionals. This is eye opening. Now I know what to expect from the real world. Do you have any website or link where I can find additional assignments.

Good revision for ACCA Financial Accounting. Got that exam in 3 weeks, and I'm hoping to nail it!

[@OKREDHOT]

For question 3, in our local GAAP and under audit, it wouldn't be accepted to compensate expenses from the sales of tickets, as it would be against full disclosure and non-compensation principles + normally the sales of these tickets, even if categorised as other income, would be subject to VAT (= more or less like Sales Tax in the US), so need proper invoice (or any form of receipt) and proper revenue (= tax base) booked.

[@PDXLibertarian]

In the real world, the platform fee might initially post to revenue and then you have to prepare a JE to defer part of it. It depends on how items are set up in the A/R system. A best practice might be be to set up platform fees to map to deferred revenue, but this isn't always the case and it sort of depends on how the company negotiates contracts.

Why would scenario 2 be listed under AP if the company paid the prepaid cost in July, shouldn’t it be a credit for cash ?

Yeah he got that one wrong….

Same here, I was really confused this I saw your comment

[@girishpai4538]

Revenue we can only record revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied either over the period of time in case of service sector we cannot record whole year Revenue we can only take the Revenue either based on time, or amount of performance that has been satisfied

Hi, I have confidence issue regarding accounting. I have been looking for a job entry level for almost 2 months. I have BBA (all electives accounting and passed with all As) , masters in management science and started my CPA but still having issue finding a job because I only have 2 years AP experience in a grocery store (not full cycle). I don t know I am not sure how much knoweldge I should have or what kind of skills I should have to be able to secure an entry level job? applied over 50 places (2 interviews still waiting) also, what kind of wage should I expect. I am pretty sure a lot of people in my position, don't know what to expect or what we are offering to the employer in our heads. I watched your videos about entry level positions and wage expectations but seems like they are not entry level (sarcasm) positions since they ask for 3-5 years experience and put it as entry level position. I am lost and losing my hope. My dream is to be an accountant, a good one but no1 gives chances. ( another reason is ppl lie aloot in canada about their resumes)

[@TheFinancialController]

a few tips: 1) try to apply to a public accounting firm, work in audit if possible. They always need people. 2) Nothing wrong with slightly making your current role seem bigger in your resume by using fancier words. Look up AP accountant resume example and copy wording from it. 3) It's a numbers game, you need to apply to so many places to secure 1-2 interviews, you are already doing it. 4) Continue and don't give up. If you want it, you will be it, that's what I've seen so far

[@Jimmyhndrx]

Hi Bill, Thank you for your video. I have a question about #2. According to the facts, the fee of 50K + 30K was paid in July. My entry would be: DR PE 80K / CR Cash 80K in July. Could you explain why you recorded it under “AP” instead of “Cash”?

[@FaheemAhmed-r4o]

Hi Bill, Your videos are really informative man. I m from India, having 4 years of experience in an Indian Firm as accounting and auditing executive. Which one would be better for for further career learning, MBA with Major as Accounts or Maac with concentration as Forensic accounting.

Thank you for your amazing channel Sir. The question at 6:45 seems wrong. Since you pay expenses in advance why you credited to AP

[@motorbikerspassion6338]

In assigment #3, why would you record the 20K as other income and cost the comapny extra tax rather than record them as an expense reduction? Send them back to the marketing annual budget and they will cost you nothing.

[@sreekumar990]

Hello my sir.. I have a question to ask.. I tried asking this to many but I'm not getting authenticity. If an employee salary is $10000 every month and he worked for 28 days in august 2023. If i consider one month as 30 days, how would be the calculation for the month of Aug23 (every sunday is holiday). No other adjustments.. Pls help

[@rashadbabakir8955]

10000/30*28=9333.33

[@sreekumar990]

@@rashadbabakir8955 thanks for your time.. But my humble doubt is when we devide it by 30, the average salary per day increases and he becomes absent for 3 days in the month of Aug. in nut shell work days should be 27 or 28 days?

[@rashadbabakir8955]

Your mothod the days of all months is 30 days actually he work 28 days FEB 2023 is 28 days also he will get 10000 even he work 28 days

[@JDCPA0723]

In scenario 1 if you were paid the 1.2m (1:33) shouldn't the debit be to cash not AR? In scenario 2 I would have booked the expense in 2023, there is no guarantee that leads will create revenue, even if they do there is no way to estimate when or how much revenue will be earned. Either way great video, keep'em coming!!

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks JD, in assignment 1, we didn't get the cash, we simply invoiced the customer. In #2, I see your point, but it's matching the cost with the benefit is underlying idea.

[@JDCPA0723]

I assumed you got cash b/c you said "paid" @@TheFinancialController

[@connych4796]

In scenario 1, even if the cash was received on invoicing, the two transactions should be posted separately for completeness.

There has to be a marketing expense in Jan 2024 since the event is happening then. Otherwise it should go to other income

Is deferred revenue the same as unearned revenue? Or are they different

[@TheFinancialController]

There is no difference between unearned revenue and deferred revenue because they both refer to advance payments a business receives for its products or services it's yet to deliver or perform.

[@scottumfer4342]

Interesting practice test, but the real world answer for #1 (revenue recognition) is more complicated. You need to take into consideration issues such as the nature of the services delivered, whether it's part of a larger project that hasn't been completed, and whether the client was required to used Squid to perform the services or had the ability to use a third-party. The answer could be anywhere from $0 - $200,000. Most likely $0, $16,667 (1/12 of the service value), or the full $200,000 as shown in the video.

accounting is not easy.

[@TexasIronLegend]

Would it be wrong if I wrote the first answer like this? Debit AR 1.4 million Credit Revenue 300k Credit Deferred Rev 1.1 million Also, I learned the account as unearned revenue, is this a common synonym or should I just start calling it deferred revenue? By the way, I am watching this video as procrastination for my IT assignment in school lol, I guess accounting is more interesting!

[@TheFinancialController]

Your JE is correct too (it's a consolidated version). And yes, you can call it either unearned or deferred revenue

[@TexasIronLegend]

@@TheFinancialController thanks! Keep up the good videos!

[@cismasu]

On #2, expense recognition, we handle expenses for events (material amounts) around when these take place. The reason is because these are usually recurring and want to create comparable P&L reports from year-to-year, regardless of when vendor invoices / payments or credit card expenses are processed (also facilitating the budgeting process)
