Accounting is an information and measurement system that identifies, records, and communicates information that is relevant, reliable, and comparable about an organization’s business activities. The goal of the accounting process is to provide helpful information to users of financial information. Quality information may help users reach more informed decisions.

Accounting Activities
C 1
1-*
*
Not all transactions entered into by a business entity are capable of being recorded. Our first task as accountants is to identify those transactions that may be recorded in the accounting system.
To record business transactions, we must follow the rules of double-entry bookkeeping. We will spend a significant amount of time early in the course discussing in detail the rules of the accounting process.
Communicating business activities requires preparing accounting reports such as financial statements. It also requires analyzing and interpreting such reports.
Users of Accounting Information

- Sales Staff
- Budget Officers
- Controllers
*
We must follow standard formatting when reporting information to users outside the organization. External users include stockholders of the company, lenders, various governmental agencies, and others.
Accountants also prepare reports for internal users. Managers of the business need information to help direct and control operations of a business. The sales/marketing department needs information about customers and products. Officers of the company need information to develop strategic plans.
Users of Accounting Information
Internal Users
Managerial accounting provides information needs for internal decision makers (officers, managers, etc.).

Financial accounting provides external users with financial statements. Managerial accounting provides information needs for internal decision makers.
In this book, we will spend most of our time developing financial accounting information for external users. Some of the material we cover will prove useful to managers and other internal decision makers.

Accounting-related
*
Careers in accounting can follow many paths.
There is great demand for financial accountants in the preparation of financial statements, dealing with regulatory agencies like the Internal Revenue Service, and consulting.
Management accountants help track product costs, prepare budgets, and serve as a consultant to managers.
The field of taxation includes everything from the preparation of tax returns to consulting with clients about estate and gift planning.
Individuals with accounting backgrounds may move into other areas of importance within an organization. Individuals with accounting training often become business owners and managers. They are in high demand in all financial and investigative fields.
Accounting Jobs by Area
C2
1-*
*
About 24% of accountants work in public accounting. Public accounting firms offer accounting, tax, and consulting services to a wide variety of clients. About 60% of accountants work for businesses and corporations, and 16% work for governmental, not-for-profit, and educational organizations.
Beliefs that distinguish right from wrong
Accepted standards of good and bad behavior
Ethics—A Key Concept
C 3
1-*
Ethics
*
Ethical behavior is the cornerstone of the accounting profession. Recently, we have seen many corporate scandals involving individuals who acted in an unethical, and often illegal, way.
Ethics is the belief system that permits us to distinguish right from wrong. It is something that we develop over our lifetimes and serves to help us identify good and bad behavior. Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, also known as SOX, to help curb financial abuses at companies that issue their stock to the public. The desired results include more transparency, accountability, and truthfulness in reporting transactions.
- Identify ethical concerns
- Analyze options
- Make ethical decision
Use personal ethics to recognize an ethical concern.
Consider all good and bad consequences.
Choose best option after weighing all consequences.
Guidelines for Ethical Decisions
C3
1-*
*
You have faced ethical situations in school and will face similar situations at work. We should be capable of identifying ethical concerns and analyzing our options, that is, what is the right and wrong thing to do. Making an ethical decision means choosing the best option available under the circumstances.
Financial accounting practice is governed by concepts and rules known as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
C 4
1-*
Relevant Information
Affects the decision of its users.
Reliable Information
Is trusted by users.
Comparable Information
Used in comparisons across years & companies.
*
Financial accounting in governed by a set of rules we call generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP for short.
Generally accepted accounting principles identify three major characteristics of information. First, the information must be relevant. Relevant information impacts the decision of the informed user for financial information. Second, the information must be reliable. Finally, the information must be comparable. Comparability helps us compare financial information from one period with that of the next period.
In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission, a government agency, has the legal authority to establish reporting requirements and set GAAP for companies that issue stock to the public.
Setting Accounting Principles
The Financial Accounting Standards Board is the private group that sets both broad and specific principles.
C4
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issues inter-
national standards that identify preferred accounting practices
in other countries. More than 100 countries now require or permit
companies to prepare financial reports following IFRS.
1-*
*
In the public sector, the Securities and Exchange Commission has the authority to establish accounting principles for companies reporting to the agency. Currently, the Securities and Exchange Commission has accepted all pronouncements of the FASB for use by reporting companies.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board is recognized as the group in the private sector that makes specific accounting principles. If an accountant departs from the principles established by the FASB, proper disclosure of the departure must be made.
The IASB, or International Accounting Standards Board, issues international standards that identify preferred accounting practices in other countries. More than 100 countries now require or permit companies to prepare financial reports following IFRS.
Principles and Assumptions of Accounting
C 4
Measurement principle (also called cost principle) means that accounting information is based on actual cost.
Going-concern assumption means that accounting information reflects a presumption the business will continue operating.
Monetary unit assumption means we can express transactions in money.
Revenue recognition principle provides guidance on when a company must recognize revenue.
Business entity assumption means that a business is accounted for separately from its owner or other business entities.
Matching principle (expense recognition) prescribes that a company must record its expenses incurred to generate the revenue.
Full disclosure principle requires a company to report the details behind financial statements that would impact users’ decisions.
1-*
Time period assumption presumes that the life of a company can be divided into time periods, such as months and years.
*
Here are some key principles and assumptions of accounting.
Accounting Principles
The measurement principle (also called the cost principle) tells us that accounting information is based upon actual costs incurred. We refer to this cost as historical cost.
The revenue recognition principle provides guidance on when a company must recognize revenue.
The matching principle (expense recognition) prescribes that a company must record its expenses incurred to generate the revenues.
The principle of full disclosure requires a company to report the details behind financial statements that would impact users’ decisions.
Accounting Assumptions
The going-concern principle states that, in the absence of information to the contrary, the business entity is assumed to continue operations into the foreseeable future.
The monetary unit principle means transactions can be expressed in monetary terms.
The time period assumption presumes that the life of a company can be divided into time periods, such as months and years.
A business entity means that a business is accounted for separately from its owner or other business entities.
Business Entity Forms
C 4
1-*
Sole Proprietorship
Partnership
Corporation
*
There are three general forms of business operations. A sole proprietorship is a business owned by just one individual. A partnership is owned by two or more individuals. Some partnerships have several thousand partners. A corporation is owned by individuals who normally are not active in the day-to-day operations of that business. For example, you may become an owner of IBM by purchasing shares of stock on the New York Stock Exchange. While you are a part owner, you do not necessarily work for IBM nor are active in the operations of the company.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
In response to a number of publicized accounting scandals (Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, ImClone), Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (also called SOX) in 2002 to help curb financial abuses at companies that issue their stock to the public. The act requires that public companies apply both accounting oversight and stringent internal controls. The desired results include more transparency, accountability, and truthfulness in reporting transactions.

Liabilities
Equity
Assets
*
The basic accounting equation states that assets are equal to liabilities plus equity of a company. The equation makes sense because in a general way it states that assets must be equal to the claims against those assets. If we have an asset, we can have two broad categories of claims against that asset. First, we may have claims by creditors for liabilities. Finally, after all creditor claims are satisfied, the residual owners and stockholders, have a claim on those assets.

Here is a breakdown of the equity section of the accounting equation to show the mathematical signs we will be using to keep track of investments by owners, common stock, payments to owners (dividends), revenues, and expenses. Notice that revenues increase equity and expenses reduce equity.
Transaction Analysis
Business activities can be described in terms of transactions and events. External transactions are exchanges of value between two entities, which yield changes in the accounting equation. Internal transactions are exchanges within any entity; they can also affect the accounting equation. Events refer to happenings that affect an entity’s accounting equation and can be reliably measured. Transaction analysis is defined as the process used to analyze transactions and events.

Here we show the increase in the asset account, Cash, and the increase in the equity account, Common Stock, by $20,000. Our basic accounting equation is in balance. Assets have a total balance of $20,000 and liabilities plus equity have a total balance of twenty thousand dollars. Let’s move on to another transaction.

Cash is reduced by $15,000 and Equipment is increased by $15,000. The balance in our Cash account is now $4,000. We have a current balance in Supplies of $1,000, and Equipment of $15,000. The three asset accounts total $20,000. Once again, there has been no change in the liabilities plus equity side of the equation.

You can see the balance in the Cash, Supplies and Equipment accounts. The total on the asset side of the equation is $21,200. We acquired the assets without paying cash. If you use a credit card to purchase gas for your car, you receive an asset, gas, and incur an account payable to the credit card company. The balance in the liabilities accounts is now $1,200, and the Common Stock account balance is still $20,000.

You see that our Cash account increases by $3,000, to a current balance of $11,000. Total assets amount to $28,200. The revenue account also increased by $3,000. Recall that from our expanded accounting equation that revenues increase equity and expenses decrease equity. The total of our liabilities plus equity is now $28,200.

Let’s think about what happens when the firm pays their employees $800 for work performed. What will be the effect on the accounting equation?
How did you do? You got the decrease in the Cash account, but did you remember to show the increase in expenses as a decrease in total equity? Our expanded equation is getting to look more and more complicated. Don’t worry, practice will help you fully understand the recording of these and similar transactions. Our books are still in balance.

Remember that dividends decrease equity.
Dividends of $500 are paid to shareholders.
P1

Did you get this transaction recorded properly? We hope so. The asset account, Cash, decreased by $500 and the equity account, Dividends increased by $500. The Dividend account reduces the total equity of the company in the same way expenses decrease equity. The final balances show that total assets are equal to $26,900. The total of the liabilities plus the equity has the same balance. Let’s use the information we developed to this point to prepare our basic accounting reports.

Financial Statements
Let’s prepare the Financial Statements reflecting the transactions we have recorded.
- Income Statement
- Statement of Retained Earnings
- Balance Sheet
- Statement of Cash Flows
P2

There are four fundamental financial statements used in accounting.
- The income statement shows revenues and expenses.
- The statement of owner’s equity shows the change in the owners’ equity during the current period.
- The balance sheet is a listing of all asset, liability, and equity account balances.
- The statement of cash flows shows where the company obtained its cash and how it spent its cash.
The first financial statement that we will prepare is the income statement. Let’s get started.
Net income is the difference between Revenues and Expenses.
The income statement describes a company’s revenues and expenses along with the resulting net income or loss over a period of time due to earnings activities.
Income Statement
P2
1-*
*
Net income is defined as the difference between revenues and expenses. If expenses exceed revenues, we have a net loss rather than net income. Financial statements have a three line title with the company name, the name of the statement, and the period covered by the report. In our case, we had total revenues of $3,000 and total expenses of $800, so net income for the month ended December 31, 2011, was $2,200. After completing the income statement, we may prepare the statement of retained earnings.

The net income of $2,200 increases Retained Earnings by $2,200.
Statement of Retained Earnings
P2
1-*
*
In the statement of retained earnings, we start with the balance at the beginning of the period, add net income earned during the period, and deduct any dividends paid, resulting in the ending balance in retained earnings. The company was started this month, so the beginning balance in retained earnings was zero. During December net income of $2,200 was earned. In addition, $500 in dividends was paid, so the ending balance in retained earnings is $1,700. After we complete this statement, we can prepare the balance sheet.

The balance sheet is an inventory of assets, liabilities and equity at the end of the month. Our total assets are equal to $26,900. This includes cash of $9,700, supplies of $1,200, and equipment of $16,000.
Liabilities include accounts payable of $1,200 and notes payable of $4,000. The common stock account has a balance of $20,000 and we just calculated the ending balance in retained earnings of $1,700. You can see that the books are in balance because total assets are equal to total liabilities plus equity.
Creditors have claims against our assets of $5,200. The owner has claims to assets of $21,700.

Return on assets is a profitability measure. It helps us measure the operating efficiency of a company. Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income by average total assets. In most cases the simple average is used. Add the beginning and ending balance of total assets and divide by two to get a simple average.
