1
OBJECTIVE associated with accounting.

Accounting consists of three basic activities—it

 identifies,
 records, and
 communicates

the economic events of an organization to interested users.

1-11 LO 1
LEARNING Identify the activities and users
1
OBJECTIVE associated with accounting.

 As a starting point to the accounting process, a

company identifies the economic events
relevant to its business. Examples of
economic events are the sale of snack chips by
PepsiCo, providing of telephone services by
Golis, and payment of wages by Omer samatar
school
 Once a company like Golis identifies economic
events, it records those events in order to
provide a history of its financial activities.
1-12
LEARNING Identify the activities and users
1
OBJECTIVE associated with accounting.
 Recording consists of keeping a systematic,
chronological diary of events, measured in
dollars and cents.
 In recording, Golis also classifies and
summarizes economic events.
 Finally, Golis communicates the collected
information to interested users by means of
accounting reports. The most common of
these reports are called financial statements.
To make the reported financial information
meaningful, Golis reports the recorded data in a
standardized way.
1-13
LEARNING Identify the activities and users
1
OBJECTIVE associated with accounting.
 the accounting process simplifies a multitude of
transactions and makes a series of activities
understandable and meaningful.
 A vital element in communicating economic
events is the accountant’s ability to analyze and
interpret the reported information.
 Analysis involves use of ratios, percentages,
graphs, and charts to highlight significant
financial trends and relationships.
 Interpretation involves explaining the uses,
meaning, and limitations of reported data.

The accounting process includes

the bookkeeping function.

1-15 LO 1
 Users of accounting information
 The information that a user of financial
information needs depends upon the kinds of
decisions the user makes.
 There are two broad groups of users of financial
information: internal users and external users.
1. Internal users of accounting information are
managers who plan, organize, and run the
business. These include marketing managers,
production supervisors, finance directors, and
company officers. In running a business.

2. External users are individuals and
organizations outside a company who want
financial information about the company. The two
most common types of external users are
investors and creditors.
 Investors (owners) use accounting information
to make decisions to buy, hold, or sell ownership
shares of a company.
 Creditors (such as suppliers and bankers) use
accounting information to evaluate the risks of
granting credit or lending money.

 Financial Accounting

Financial accounting is the process

of reporting the results and effects of
the financial transactions that a
business undertakes.
The objective of financial reporting is
to provide useful financial information
about the entity for decision-making.

1-21
 Financial Accounting
 Financial accounting provides the means for
management and external users to judge the
general health and well-being of a company.
 The types of decisions that individuals are
making based on the financial information are
numerous and varied.
 It is not possible for financial accounting
information to provide all of the necessary
information that users need to make decisions.
 Users need to access information from other
sources, such as economic forecasts, the
political climate, and industry outlooks.

HISTORICAL COST PRINCIPLE (or cost principle) dictates

that companies record assets at their cost.

FAIR VALUE PRINCIPLE states that assets and liabilities

should be reported at fair value (the price received to sell an asset
or settle a liability).

Selection of which principle to follow

generally relates to trade-offs
between relevance and faithful
representation.

1-26 LO 2
 Assumptions

MONETARY UNIT ASSUMPTION requires that companies

include in the accounting records only transaction data that can
be expressed in terms of money.
