Question 1
The primary objective of general-purpose financial
reporting is to provide information useful to:
A. Management for internal decision-making only
B. Present and potential equity investors, lenders,
and other creditors
,C. The IRS for tax assessment purposes
D. Competitors for benchmarking performance
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Per the FASB Conceptual Framework, the
objective of financial reporting is to provide
information useful to present and potential equity
investors, lenders, and creditors in making resource
allocation decisions. While others may benefit,
capital providers are the primary audience for
general-purpose financial statements.
Question 2
Which organization has the legal authority to
prescribe accounting standards for publicly traded
companies but relies on the FASB to actually set
them?
A. AICPA
B. PCAOB
C. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)
D. IASB
,Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The SEC has broad statutory authority
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to set
accounting standards for public companies.
However, it has historically deferred to private-
sector bodies—currently the FASB—to actually
develop GAAP. SEC enforcement authority makes
compliance mandatory for listed companies.
Question 3
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification was
developed to:
A. Replace the FASB as the standard-setting body
B. Provide a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP
organized by topic
C. Create IFRS for U.S. companies
D. Eliminate all accounting standards
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The FASB Codification was developed to
provide a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP
, organized by topic. Prior to the Codification, GAAP
was scattered across hundreds of pronouncements,
making research difficult. The Codification organizes
all authoritative guidance by topic and subtopic.
Question 4
Which of the following BEST describes accrual-basis
accounting?
A. Recording transactions only when cash is
received or paid
B. Recording revenue when earned and expenses
when incurred, regardless of cash timing
C. Recording only assets and liabilities, not revenues
and expenses
D. Reporting financial results on a cash flow basis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Accrual accounting requires that revenue
be recognized when EARNED (performance
obligation satisfied) and expenses when
INCURRED—regardless of when cash changes
