Accounting is called the language of business because all organizations set up an accounting information system to communicate data to help people make better decisions. Accounting serves many users, who can be divided into two groups: external users and internal users.
External users of accounting information are not directly involved in running the organization. They include shareholders (investors), lenders, directors, customers, suppliers, regulators, lawyers, brokers, and the press. External users have limited access to an organization’s information. Yet their business decisions depend on information that is reliable, relevant, and comparable.
Internal users of accounting information are those directly involved in managing and operating an organization such as the chief executive officer (CEO), chief financial officer (CFO), chief audit executive (CAE), treasurer, and other executive and managerial-level employees. They use the information to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization.

For information to be useful, it must be trusted. This demands ethics in accounting. Ethics are beliefs that distinguish right from wrong. They are accepted standards of good and bad behavior.9Fraud TriangleC3Three factors must exist for a person to commit fraud: opportunity, pressure, and rationalization.Envision a way to commit fraud with a low perceived risk of getting caughtFails to see the criminal nature of the fraud or justifies the actionMust have some pressure to commit fraud, like unpaid bills10 01-C4: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 11Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)C4Financial accounting is governed by concepts and rules known as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). GAAP aims to make information relevant, reliable, and comparable. Relevant information affects decisionsof users. Reliable information is trusted by users. Comparable information is helpful in contrasting organizations.12International StandardsC4In today’s global economy, there is increased demand by external users for comparability in accounting reports. This demand often arises when companies wish to raise money from lenders and investors in different countries. Differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS are decreasing as theFASB and IASB pursue a convergence process aimed to achieve a single set of accounting standards for global use.International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) An independent group (consisting of individuals from many countries), issues International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Identify preferred accounting practices 13Conceptual Framework and ConvergenceC414Principles and Assumptions of AccountingC4General principles are the basic assumptions, concepts, and guidelines for preparing financial statements. General principles stem from long-used accounting practices. Specific principles are detailed rules used in reporting business transactions and events. Specific principles arise more often from the rulings of authoritative groups.15Accounting PrinciplesC4Measurement Principle (or Cost Principle)Accounting information is based on actual cost. Actual cost is considered objective.Expense Recognition Principle (or Matching Principle)A company must record its expenses incurred to generate the revenue reported.Full Disclosure PrincipleA company is required to report the details behind financial statements that would impact users’ decisions.Revenue Recognition PrincipleRecognize revenue when it is earned.Proceeds need not be in cash.Measure revenue by cash received plus cash value of items received. 16Accounting AssumptionsMonetary Unit AssumptionExpress transactions and events in monetary, or money, units.Business Entity AssumptionA business is accounted for separately from other business entities, including its owner.Time Period AssumptionPresumes that the life of a company can be divided into time periods, such as months and years.Going-Concern AssumptionReflects assumption that the business will continue operating instead of being closed or sold.C417Proprietorship, Partnership, and CorporationHere are some of the major attributes of proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations:C418Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX)Congress passed the Sarbanes–Oxley Act to help curb financial abuses atcompanies that issue their stock to the public. SOX requires that these public companies apply both accounting oversight and stringent internal controls. The desired results include more transparency, accountability, and truthfulness in reporting transactions.C419Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection ActThis act was designed to:promote accountability and transparency in the financial system, put an end to the notion of “too big to fail,” protect the taxpayer by ending bailouts, and protect consumers from abusive financial services.20C4NEED-TO-KNOWIdentify the following terms/phrases as either an accounting (a) principle, (b) assumption, or (c) constraint.Time periodFull disclosureRevenue recognitionMaterialityMeasurementBusiness entityGoing concernExpense recognition21C3/C4NEED-TO-KNOWthat would impact users' decisions.Full disclosure principleA company must report the details behind financial statements Disclosures are often in the footnotes to the financial statements.Expense recognition principleAlso called the matching principleGoverns the timing of expenses reported on the income statement.Expenses are recognized in the same time period as the revenues they help generate.Principles: Govern the amount and/or timing of information to be reported in financial statements.Measurement principleAlso called the cost principleCost is measured on a cash or equal-to-cash basis.Governs valuation of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.Revenue recognition principleGoverns the timing of revenues recognized on the income statement.Revenue is recognized when earned.22C3/C4NEED-TO-KNOWAssumptions: Generally related to the financial statement headings.Going concern assumptionMonetary unit assumptionTime period assumptionBusiness entity assumptionPresumption that the business will continue operating instead of being closed or sold.We can express transactions and events in monetary units.

Statement of owner’s equity— explains changes in equity from net income (or loss) and from any owner investments and withdrawals over a period of time. Balance sheet — describes a company’s financial position (types and amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity) at a point in time.

Neither specifies particular account names nor the detail required. IFRS does require reporting of certain minimum line and other minimum disclosures that U.S. GAAP does not. GAAP requires disclosures for the current and prior two years for the income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of retained earnings (equity)IFRS requires disclosures for the current and prior year. 33Global ViewTransaction Analysis of U.S. GAAP and IFRSBoth apply transaction analysis identically (as shown in this chapter). Although some variations exist in revenue and expense recognition and other principles, all of the transactions in this chapter are accounted for identically under these two systems. U.S. GAAP is sometimes considered more “rules-based” whereas IFRS is more principles-based, particularly in deciding how to account for certain transactions.U.S. GAAP—more focused on strictly following the accounting rules.IFRS—more focused on a review of the situation and how accounting can best reflect it.34Global ViewFinancial StatementsBoth U.S. GAAP and IFRS prepare the same four basic financial statements. To illustrate, a condensed version of Samsung’s income statement follows (numbers are in thousands of U.S. dollars).35Global ViewStatus of IFRS Adoption36 01-A2: Return on Assets 37Return on AssetsA2Return on assets (ROA) is stated in ratio form as net income divided by the average total assets invested.Net incomeAverage total assetsReturn on assets =38 01-A3: Return and Risk Analysis 39Appendix 1A Return and Risk AnalysisA3Many different returns may be reported.ROAInterest return on savings accounts.Interest return on corporate bonds.Risk is the uncertainty about the return we will earn.The lower the risk, the lower our expected return.40 01-C5: Business Activities and the Accounting Equation 41Appendix 1B Business Activities and the Accounting EquationC5Three major types of business activities:Financing activities provide the means organizations use to pay for resources such as land, buildings, and equipment to carry out plans.Owner financing—resources contributed by the owner along with any income the owner leaves in the organization.Nonowner financing—resources contributed by creditors (lenders). Financial management —the task of planning how to obtain these resources and to set the right mix between owner and creditor financing.42Appendix 1B Business Activities and the Accounting EquationC5Three major types of business activities:Investing activities are the acquiring and disposing of resources (assets) that an organization uses to acquire and sell its products or services.Asset management—determining the amount and type of assets for operations.Assets—invested amounts.Liabilities—creditors’ claims.Equity—owner’s claim.43Appendix 1B Business Activities and the Accounting EquationC5Three major types of business activities:Operating activities involve using resources to research, develop, purchase, produce, distribute, and market products and services.Strategic management —the process of determining the right mix of operating activities for the type of organization, its plans, and its market.44Appendix 1B Business Activities and the Accounting EquationC545End of Chapter 146
