Accounting.1 Why did these people choose accounting? They wanted to understand what was happening financially to their organizations Accounting is the financial information system that provides these insights In short, to understand your organization, you have to know the numbers Accounting consists of three basic activities—it identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested users Let’s take a closer look at these three activities STUDY OBJECTIVE Three Activities To identify economic events, a company selects the economic events relevant to its business Examples of economic events are the sale of snack chips by PepsiCo, providing of telephone services by AT&T, and payment of wages by Ford Motor Company The appendix to this chapter describes job opportunities for accounting majors and explains why accounting is such a popular major PDF Watermark Remover DEMO : Purchase from www.PDFWatermarkRemover.com to remove the watermark What Is Accounting? Once a company like PepsiCo identifies economic events, it records those events in order to provide a history of its financial activities Recording consists of keeping a systematic, chronological diary of events, measured in dollars and cents In recording, PepsiCo also classifies and summarizes economic events Finally, PepsiCo communicates the collected information to interested users by means of accounting reports The most common of these reports are called financial statements To make the reported financial information meaningful, Kellogg reports the recorded data in a standardized way It accumulates information resulting from similar transactions For example, PepsiCo accumulates all sales transactions over a certain period of time and reports the data as one amount in the company’s financial statements Such data are said to be reported in the aggregate By presenting the recorded data in the aggregate, the accounting process simplifies a multitude of transactions and makes a series of activities understandable and meaningful A vital element in communicating economic events is the accountant’s ability to analyze and interpret the reported information Analysis involves use of ratios, percentages, graphs, and charts to highlight significant financial trends and relationships Interpretation involves explaining the uses, meaning, and limitations of reported data Appendix A of this textbook shows the financial statements of PepsiCo, Inc.; Appendix B illustrates the financial statements of The Coca-Cola Company We refer to these statements at various places throughout the text At this point, they probably strike you as complex and confusing By the end of this course, you’ll be surprised at your ability to understand, analyze, and interpret them Illustration 1-1 summarizes the activities of the accounting process Illustration 1-1 The activities of the accounting process Communication Identification Recording Prepare accounting reports Select economic events (transactions) Record, classify, and summarize IAeppoortrt KIA NOK l RRe nuuaal A An Analyze and interpret for users You should understand that the accounting process includes the bookkeeping function Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events It is therefore just one part of the accounting process In total, accounting involves the entire process of identifying, recording, and communicating economic events.2 Essential terms are printed in blue when they first appear, and are defined in the end-of-chapter glossary The origins of accounting are generally attributed to the work of Luca Pacioli, an Italian Renaissance mathematician Pacioli was a close friend and tutor to Leonardo da Vinci and a contemporary of Christopher Columbus In his 1494 text Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportione et Proportionalite, Pacioli described a system to ensure that financial information was recorded efficiently and accurately PDF Watermark Remover DEMO : Purchase from www.PDFWatermarkRemover.com to remove the watermark Chapter Accounting in Action Who Uses Accounting Data STUDY OBJECTIVE Identify the users and uses of accounting The information that a user of financial information needs depends upon the kinds of decisions the user makes There are two broad groups of users of financial information: internal users and external users INTERNAL USERS Internal users of accounting information are those individuals inside a company who plan, organize, and run the business These include marketing managers, production supervisors, finance directors, and company officers In running a business, internal users must answer many important questions, as shown in Illustration 1-2 Illustration 1-2 Questions asked by internal users playlist itunes L H.C.B Brien's In Pepper's Sgt Comes My Ship Cowboy?

Examples are financial comparisons of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns, and forecasts of cash needs for the next year EXTERNAL USERS External users are individuals and organizations outside a company who want financial information about the company The two most common types of external users are investors and creditors Investors (owners) use accounting information to make decisions to buy, hold, or sell ownership shares of a company Creditors (such as suppliers and bankers) use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting
