Accounting: the language of business
Accounting - a process of identifying, recording, summarizing, and reporting economic
information (transactions) to decision makers in the form of financial statements
Users of Financial information
Accounting information is useful to anyone who makes decisions that influence business
activities and have economic results.
• Investors / Shareholders want to know if a company is a good investment with
adequate returns
• Creditors (banks/suppliers) want to know if they should extend credit, how
much to extend, and for how long.
• Clients want to know if they can rely on proper after sales service.
• (future) Employees want to know if the company is able to provide job
security and a good salary.
• Government agencies (tax collection, grants);
• The public
Financial Accounting vs. Management accounting
The major distinction between financial and management accounting is the users of the
information.
➢ Financial accounting focuses on the specific needs of decision makers
external to the organization, such as shareholders, suppliers, banks, and
government agencies
Externally disseminated financial statements have to be drawn up by reference to
a set of accounting rules. These might be different depending on the jurisdiction.
This course focuses on the rules issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) – International Accounting Standards/International
Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS).
, ➢ Management accounting serves internal users, such as top executives,
management, and administrators within organizations (a.o. budgets,
forecasts, projections)

equity during a period)
