Chapter Summary
ST
Our financial reporting system has changed greatly over the past 50 years and will
continue to change. The financial world is experiencing unparalleled challenges, such as
globalization, changing regulation, and the widespread use of technology. In the midst of these
changes is the accounting profession that must provide reliable and relevant information to users.
UV
This chapter introduces accounting to the student as the means of providing the information to
support business decisions. Three broad types of accounting information, financial, management,
and tax accounting are introduced and discussed. The production and communication of
information within an accounting system is introduced at the outset of the chapter.
The focus then shifts to the various consumers of accounting information and the uses to
which they put that information. External users are discussed first with the natural emphasis
IA
placed on the decision-making needs of investors and creditors. The needs of these users are
summarized in terms of their interest in cash flow prospects. The financial accounting process
communicates these prospects. The objectives of the reporting process are discussed in some
detail leading to a definitional listing of the financial statements. This segment of the chapter
?_
concludes with an overview of the characteristics of externally reported accounting information.
The orientation of the chapter now shifts to decision-making by parties internal to an
organization and how internal accounting supports these decisions. Internal users are very
broadly defined as all employees of the organization. Employees are supported by the internal
AP
accounting information system in three ways. First, the internal accounting system assigns
decision-making authority over the organization’s resources to employees. Second, the internal
accounting system provides the information required to make decisions regarding these
resources. Finally, employee performance is regularly evaluated and rewarded based on
information supplied by the internal accounting system. The characteristics of internal
PR
accounting information are discussed at length. This discussion makes the student aware of the
distinctions between financial and internal accounting.
The main body of the chapter closes with a discussion of the sources of integrity of
accounting information. We introduce institutional features that contribute to the integrity of the
information including, accounting principles and standards, systems of internal control, and
OV
audits of financial information. The roles played by organizations such as the AICPA, IMA, IIA,
AAA, and COSO are discussed. We close by emphasizing the critical importance of the
competence, judgment, and ethical behavior of professional accountants.
The chapter concludes with an overview of career opportunities offered by the accounting
profession. Opportunities in public, management, and government accounting are surveyed, as
are career paths in education. We take this opportunity to distinguish between accounting and
ED
bookkeeping and to explain the limited role played by bookkeeping activities.
