i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
informationthat can improve decisions. The decisions are oriented toward achieving the various
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
goals of the organization while maintaining a satisfactory financial situation. Financial

owners ofthe organization.

i organization and the financial results of its activities. It has often been referred to as the

i.z language of business. The vocabulary used byaccounting is the language ofnonbusiness i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z

1-5. Accounting is subdivided into two major areas: managerial accounting and financial accounting.
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
Managerial accounting relates to generating any financial information that managers can use to
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
improve the future results of the organization. This includes techniques designed to generate
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
any financial data that might help managers make more effective decisions. Major aspects of
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
managerial accounting relate to making financial plans for the organization, implementing those
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i . z i.z
plans, and then working to ensure that the plans are achieved. Some examples of managerial
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
accounting include preparing annual operating budgets, generating information for use in
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
making major investment decisions, and providing the data needed to decide whether to buy or
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
lease a major piece of equipment. Financial accounting provides retrospective information. As
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
events that have financial implications occur theyare recorded bythe financialaccounting system.
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
From time to time (usually monthly, quarterly, or annually), the recorded data are summarized and
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
reported to interested users.The users include both internal managers and people outside the
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
organization. Those outsiders include those who have lent or might lend money to the
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
organization (creditors), those who might sell things to the organization (called suppliers or
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
vendors), and other interested parties. These interested parties may include those with a
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
particular interest in public service organizations, such as regulators, legislators, and citizens.
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
Financial reports provide information on the financial status of the organization at a specific
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
point in time, as well as reporting the past results of the organization‘s operations (i.e., how
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i .z
well it has done froma financial viewpoint).

1-6. Finance focuses on the alternative sources and uses of the organization‘s financial resources.
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
Obtaining funds when needed from appropriate sources and the deployment of resources within
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
theorganization fall under this heading. In addition, finance involves the financial markets (such as
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
stock and bond markets) that provide a meansto generating funds for organizations.

1-7. Yes. Achieving the goals of the organization requires financial planning. Financial management
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
provides information for managers to use in making their decisions. It helps managers by
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
providing information on the likely financial impact of each proposed alternative.

It also provides information about financialstability, efficiency, and effectiveness.

1-8. Clearly, we might expect some public service organizations that are proprietary, such as some
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
hospitals, to earn profits. But what about other public service organizations such as charities?
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
They should make a profit as well. Profits provide a safety margin against unexpected costs,
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
provide resources to replace buildings and equipment, and to expand and improve services.

1-10. Federal government spending exceeded $6 trillion in 2020 and state and local government
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
spending was more than $3 trillion in 2018. In contrast, the GDP was $21 trillion in 2020. For more

The surplus in this area offset other government losses, and even resulted in an overall surplus
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
for the federal government. This is no longer the case, and, over time, trust fund resources will
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
be used up to provide benefits. As the federal government will not have access to the excess
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
resources fromsocial security, it will have to borrow and increase the total level of federal debt,

1-12. Sometimes gifts come with strings attached. If the conditions of the gift create a burden that the
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
organization does not want to accept, or somehow requires the organization to work in
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
opposition to its mission, it might turndown the gift.

1-13. The World Bank has defined NGOs as "private organizations that pursue activities to relieve
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, provide basic social
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
services, or undertake community development" (World Bank Operational Directive 14.70).
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
NGOs are quite similar to the not-for-profit organizations. They are primarily mission-focused
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
rather than profit- focused.
i.z NGOs fall into three main categories: community-based, national,
i.z i.z i.z i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
and international.

2-1. Planning helps the organization by causing its employees to think ahead and anticipate change.
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
This is done by establishing specific goals and objectives, communicating those objectives to
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
the individuals who must achieve them, forecasting future events, developing alternatives,
i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
selecting from among alternatives, and coordinating activities. The activities are summarized in
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
a document called a budget. The budget describes what we hope to achieve and the resources
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i . z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
that willbe usedto carryout the organization‘s activities.

i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
profit organizations, finances often become a means to an end, rather than the end itself. This
i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z i.z
mission cannot solely be making profits. Financial management must help balance the focus

on profit withthe public service elements ofthe organization‘s mission.
