2.Account:
1. A record of financial transactions for an asset or individual, such as at a bank, brokerage, credit card company, or retail store.
2. More generally, an arrangement between a buyer and a seller in which payments are to be made in the future.
3.Accounting period:
When a company uses an appropriate amount of time to file financial statements. The amount of time can reported as an annual, quarterly, or monthly statement.

6.Cash method:
An accounting method based on cash receipts and cash expenditures. For accounting purposes, income and expenses are booked when monies are received and spent, not when they are due.
