Chapter Outline Notes
I. Importance of Accounting—we live in the information age, where information, and its reliability, impacts the financial well-being of us all.
A. Accounting Activities
Accounting is an information and measurement system that identifies, records and communicates information about an organizations business activities.
B. Users of Accounting Information
1. External Information Users—those not directly involved with running the company. Examples: shareholders (investors), lenders, directors, external auditors, non-executive employees, labor unions, regulators, voters, legislators, government officials, customers, suppliers, lawyers, brokers, etc.
⦁ Financial Accounting—area of accounting aimed at serving external users by providing them with general-purpose financial statements.
⦁ General-Purpose Financial Statements—statements that have broad range of purposes which external users rely on.
2. Internal Information Users—those directly involved in managing and operating an organization.
⦁ Managerial Accounting—area of accounting that serves the decision-making needs of internal users.
⦁ Internal Reports—not subject to same rules as external reports. They are designed for the special needs of internal users.
C. Opportunities in Accounting
Four broad areas of opportunities are financial, managerial, taxation, and accounting related.
1. Private accounting offers the most opportunities.
2. Public accounting offers the next largest number of opportunities
3. Government (and not-for-profit) agencies, including business regulation and investigation of law violations also offer opportunities.
II. Fundamentals of Accounting—accounting is guided by principles, standards, concepts, and assumptions.
A. Ethics—a key concept. Ethics are beliefs that distinguish right from wrong.
B. Fraud Triangle—model that asserts three factors must exist for person to commit fraud: opportunity, pressure, and rationalization.
Chapter Outline Notes
C. Internal Controls—procedures set up to protect company property and equipment and insure reliable accounting reports, promotes efficiency, and encourage adherence to company policies. Congress passed Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to help enforce ethics at publicly traded companies.
D. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)—concepts and rules that govern financial accounting. Purpose of GAAP is to make information in accounting statements relevant, reliable and comparable.
1. Setting Accounting Principles
a. In U.S. major rule-setting bodies are the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). SEC delegated authority to set U.S. GAAP to the FASB.
b. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issues standards (International Financial Reporting Standards or IFRS) that identify preferred accounting practices in the global economy. IFRS are similar but sometimes difference from U.S. GAAP.
c. Differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS are decreasing as the FASB and IASB pursue convergence.
1. Conceptual Framework consists of:
⦁ Objectives—to provide information useful to investors, creditors, and others.
⦁ Qualitative Characteristics—to require information that is relevant, reliable and comparable.
⦁ Elements—to define items that financial statements can contain.
⦁ Recognition and Measurement—to set criteria that an item must meet for it to be recognized as an element; and how to measure that element.
1. Principles and Assumptions of Accounting—two types are general principles (assumptions, concepts and guidelines for preparing financial statements; stem from long used accounting practices) and specific principles (detailed rules used in reporting transactions; from rulings of authoritative bodies).
