,Chapter 1 Environment and Theoretical Structure of ao ao ao ao ao ao




Financial Accounting ao




Question 1–1 ao




Financial accounting is concerned with providing relevant financial information ab
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




out various kinds of organizations to different types of external users. The primary focu
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




s of financial accounting is on the financial information provided by profit-
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




oriented companies to their present and potential investors and creditors.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–2 ao




Resources are efficiently allocated if they are given to enterprises that will use theao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




m to provide goods and services desired by society and not to enterprises that will waste
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a




them. The capital markets are the mechanism that fosters this efficient allocation of res
o ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a o ao ao ao




ources.

Question 1–3 ao




Two extremely important variables that must be considered in any investment deci
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




sion are the expected rate of return and the uncertainty or risk of that expected return.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–4 ao




In the long run, a company will be able to provide investors and creditors with a rat
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




e of return only if it can generate a profit. That is, it must be able to use the resources pro
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




vided to it to generate cash receipts from selling a product or service that exceed the cas
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




h disbursements necessary to provide that product or service.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–5 ao




The primary objective of financial accounting is to provide investors and creditors
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a o ao




ao with information that will help them make investment and credit decisions.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–6 ao




Net operating cash flows are the difference between cash receipts and cash disburs
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




ements during a period of time from transactions related to providing goods and service
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a o ao ao ao ao ao




s to customers. Net operating cash flows may not be a good indicator of future cash flow
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




s because, by ignoring uncompleted transactions, they may not match the accomplishm
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




ents and sacrifices of the period.
ao ao ao ao ao

,Question 1–7 ao




GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) are a dynamic set of both broad
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a o ao ao ao




and specific guidelines that a company should follow in measuring and reporting the in
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a o ao ao ao




formation in their financial statements and related notes. It is important that all compa
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao a o a o ao ao ao ao




nies follow GAAP so that investors can compare financial information across companie
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




s to make their resource allocation decisions.
ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–8 ao




In 1934, Congress created the SEC and gave it the job of setting accounting and rep
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




orting standards for companies whose securities are publicly traded. The SEC has retain
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




ed the power, but has relied on private sector bodies to create the standards. The current
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




private sector body responsible for setting accounting standards is the FASB.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–9 ao




Auditors are independent, professional accountants who examine financial stateme
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




nts to express an opinion. The opinion reflects the auditors‘ assessment of the statement
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




s' fairness, which is determined by the extent to which they are prepared in compliance
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




with GAAP. The auditor adds credibility to the financial statements, which increases th
ao a o ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




e confidence of capital market participants relying on that information.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao

, Question 1–10 ao




Key provisions included in the text are:
ao ao ao ao ao ao




 Creation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




 Regulate types of non-audit audit services ao ao ao ao ao




 Require lead audit partner rotation every 5 year ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




 Corporate executive accountability ao ao




 Addresses conflicts of interest for security analysts ao ao ao ao ao ao




 Internal control reporting and auditor opinion about controls
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–11 ao




New accounting standards, or changes in standards, can have significant differenti
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




al effects on companies, investors and creditors, and other interest groups by causing re
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




distribution of wealth. There also is the possibility that standards could harm the econo
ao ao a o ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




my as a whole by causing companies to change their behavior.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–12 ao




The FASB undertakes a series of elaborate information gathering steps before issui
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




ng an accounting standard to determine consensus as to the preferred method of account
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




ing, as well as to anticipate adverse economic consequences.
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




Question 1–13 ao




The purpose of the conceptual framework is to guide the Board in developing acco
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




unting standards by providing an underlying foundation and basic reasoning on which t
ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao




o consider merits of alternatives. The framework does not prescribe GAAP.
