DEFINITION,
CLASSIFICATION,
AND EXAMPLES
DEFINITION:
• Major Account management is not
a single act, but a series of actions
which link together to produce a
powerful, professional and
profitable result
• THE MAJOR ACCOUNTS IN ACCOUNTING
ARE ASSETS, LIABILITIES, OWNER’S
EQUITY, REVENUES, AND
EXPENSES.THROUGH REVENUES AND
EXPENSES ARE UNDER OWNER’S EQUITY
ACCOUNT, THEY ARE SHOWN SEPARATELY
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MAIN INCOME
STATEMENT ACCOUNTS. SO, EFFECTIVELY,
THERE ARE FIVE MAJOR ACCOUNTS.
CLASSIFICATION
OF
MAJOR ACCOUNTS
1. Asset accounts:
• Assets are things or items of value owned by a
business and are usually divided into tangible or
intangible. Tangible assets are physical items such as
building, machinery, inventories, receivables, cash,
prepaid expenses and advance payments to other
parties. Intangible assets normally include non-
physical items and rights. Examples of intangible
assets include goodwill, trademarks, copyrights,
patent rights and brand recognition etc.
• A separate account for each tangible and intangible
asset is maintained by the business to record any
increase or decrease in that account.
ASSETS CAN BE CLASSIFIED FURTHER
IN TWO:
1. CURRENT ASSETS:
ARE THOSE REASONABLY EXPECTED TO
BE REALIZED IN CASH WITHIN ONE YEAR
FROM THE REPORTING DATE OR THE
NORMAL OPERATING CYCLE, WHICHEVER
IS LONGER.
2. NON- CURRENT ASSETS
IF AN ASSET CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AS
CURRENT, THEN ITS RIGHTFUL
CLASSIFICATION IS NON- CURRENT ASSET.
OPERATING CYCLE
IS THE AVERAGE TIME IT TAKES THE
BUSINESS TO TURN THE CASH USED
IN THE BUSINESS TO CASH RECEIVED
FROM SELLING GOODS OR
RENDERING SERVICES.
