1. To Present A Definition Of Accounting.
2. To Identify And Describe Different Classifications Of Accounting.
3. To Emphasize That Financial Accounting Standards Are Not A ―Fixed Code Of Rules,‖
But Are Established In Response To User Needs And Business Developments. Accountants

Supporting:
5. To Summarize How Accounting Has Evolved Over Time.

TEACHING OBSERVATIONS/ASSIGNMENT SUGGESTIONS:
1. Students Should Be Put On Notice About The Jargon Of Accounting, The Use Of
Synonymous Terms, The Importance Of The Context Within Which A Term Is Used, And
The Need For Precision In The Use Of Terminology. The First Example Of Jargon Is The
Term Entity.
2. When Discussing "Auditing — Public Accounting," Have Students Find The Auditors'
Opinion In The Campbell Soup Company 2020 Annual Report (See Pages 87-88 Of The
Appendix). Emphasize That A "Clean Opinion" Is Not A "Clean Bill Of Health."
3. Discuss The Summary Of Concepts Statement No. 8, Chapter 1 — The Objective Of

4. Assign Exercise 1-1. Encourage Students To Experiment With Websites That Are Of
Interest. In Addition, Or As An Alternative To Having Students Request Their Own
Annual Reports, Distribute Reports That Have Been Obtained By The Instructor.
5. Use Exercise 1-5 To Generate Discussion About The Importance Of Ethical Standards In
General And Independence (In Both Appearance And Fact) In Particular. Follow Up With
A Brief Look At Exercise 1-7 Concerning Audit Independence Standards.
SOLUTIONS:
E1.3. This Exercise Provides An Opportunity To Gauge Where The Students Are In
Terms Of Their Prior Background In Accounting, Be It Practical Or Educational,
And To Clear Up Some Of The Common Misconceptions (I.E., To Explain That
Accounting Goes
Beyond The ―How To‖ Aspects Of Bookkeeping And Involves The Use Of
Judgment).
E1.4. This Exercise Provides An Opportunity To Align Student And Instructor
Expectations. For First-Time Instructors In This Course, Or For Those Having A
Diverse Student Group, You Will Get A Glimpse At The Common Perceptions
Students Have Concerning The Course Content, Level Of Difficulty, And
Methods Of Presentation,
Testing/Evaluation, And Grading.
E1.5. The Principal Factors Jim Sandrolini Must Consider Are His Competence And
Independence. Is He Competent To Prepare Financial Statements For A Company
That Operates In A Different Industry Than The One In Which He Works?
Accepting A Contingent Fee Arrangement Would Normally Cause An
Impairment Of His
Independence Because He Would Directly Benefit If The Loan Were To Be
Approved.
