Financial Statements and Business Decisions
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Accounting is a system that collects and processes (analyzes, measures, and
records) financial information about an organization and reports that information to
decision makers.
2. Financial accounting involves preparation of the four basic financial statements and
related disclosures for external decision makers. Managerial accounting involves
the preparation of detailed plans, budgets, forecasts, and performance reports for
internal decision makers.
3. Financial reports are used by both internal and external groups and individuals. The
internal groups are comprised of the various managers of the entity. The external
groups include the owners, investors, creditors, governmental agencies, other
interested parties, and the public at large.
4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by receiving part of
what the company earns and/or selling the company in the future at a higher price
than they paid. Creditors lend money to a company for a specific length of time and
hope to gain by charging interest on the loan.
5. In a society each organization can be defined as a separate accounting entity. An
accounting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected.
Typical accounting entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a
university and other nonprofit organizations such as a hospital and a welfare
organization. A business typically is defined and treated as a separate entity
because the owners, creditors, investors, and other interested parties need to
evaluate its performance and its potential separately from other entities and from its
owners.
