Summarizing
1. Analyzing – is the first phase of the accounting process. The accountant
must look at the transactions entered into, economic events that have
taken place, and determine their effects on the business.

2. Recording – involves writing the effects of the transactions and events that
have been analyzed. The recording may be done manually, or it may be
encoded with the use of computers or data-processing machines.

3. Classifying – is the sorting or grouping of similar transactions and events into


specific account titles. This process is almost like putting similar information
in boxes.

4. Summarizing – is the process that involves grouping the various accounts


referred to in the classifying process. This is where the accounts are
grouped into assets, liabilities, owner’s equity, revenue, and cost and
expenses.

5. Reporting – involves the preparation of financial summaries called financial


statements.

6. Interpreting – is the last step in the accounting process. It is the step that
directs attention to the significance of various matters and relationships.
