2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and v communicating
h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
v the economic events of an organization to interested users of the information. The first
h v h vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh
activity of the accounting
vh process is to identify
vh economicvh events that are vh v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
v relevant
h to a particular business. Once identified and vmeasured,
h the v h v h vh v h v h v h v h v h
v events are recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of
h v h v h v h v h v h v h vh v h v h v h v h
v the organization. Recording consists of keeping a chronological diary of these
h v h v h v h v h v h v h vh vh vh vh
measured events in an orderly and systematic manner. The information is communicated
vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh vh v h v h
v through
h the preparation and distribution of accounting reports,
v h the v h v h v h v h v h vh v h v h v h
v mosth common of which are v called
h financialv statements. A
h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
v vital element in the communication process is the accountant’s ability and
h vh v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
responsibility to analyze and interpret the reported information.

3. (a) v h Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run the business and
v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
therefore are officers and other decision makers.
v h v h vh v h v h v h v h
(b) v hTo assist management, accounting
v provides
h internal reports. Examples v h v h v h v h v h v h
include financial
v h comparisons of operating alternatives, projections

5. False. Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events
v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
v andh therefore is just one part of the
v entire
h accounting process. vh v h v h v h v h v h v h v h v h
v Accounting,
h on the other hand, involves the entire process of v h v h v h v h vh v h v h v h v h
v identifying, recording, and communicating economic events.
