- Accounting information systems
- Internal control
- Data analytics
Why information? Why organizations need information?
The three uses of information:
- Delegation and accountability
- Decision making
- Operating the business
Information is at the heart of this course. So first of all, we must ask ourselves the basic question why
organisations need information?
The three uses of information: Organisations need information for delegation and accountability, decision
making and operating their business.
An example: kiddie entrepreneur part 1
Example: Imagine yourself at age eight being already a true entrepreneur. You buy candies in the store and
sell them to your friends at home in the garage of your parents house for double the cost price. As long as
your friends are willing to pay this price, your capital increases and your wealth grows. You may eventually
become a millionaire. Internal control in this little business is easy since you are the only employee and you
perform all the tasks, including purchasing cash disbursements, stock keeping, selling cash receipts and
making deposits to your bank account. Yet by counting your candy inventories and your cash and
comparing this to your purchases and sales, you find out that there is some money missing. Did you make
mistakes? Was money stolen from you? Was candy stolen? Did all your friends pay? Did you give
discounts? You realise that you need a booklet to write down all your business activities just to keep track
of the flows of candy and money. Moreover, you realise that the tax authorities will also want part of your
earnings. That booklet is an accounting system and the process is aimed at safeguarding your candies and
cash. Recording reliable information in your booklet and compliance with laws and regulations, such as tax
laws are your controls.
The invention of double-entry accounting
- Luca Pacioli (1447 – 1517) was the first to publish detailed material on the double-entry system of
accounting
- Most of the accounting principles and cycles described by Pacioli are still in use to this very day.
- His documentation includes journals, ledgers, year-end closing dates, trial balances, cost
accounting, accounting ethics, and extensive work on the double entry-accounting system. Every
financial fact had to be recorded twice (debet and credit side).
The most common way organisations maintain their accounting systems is double entry accounting. The
inventor of this system was the Italian monk and mathematician Luca Pacioli, who wrote the book
summary of arithmetic, geometry, proportions and Proportionality in 1494. His documentation included
journals, ledgers, year end closing dates, trial balances, cost accounting, but also accounting ethics and
extensive work on the double entry accounting system.
The whole idea behind double entry accounting systems was that every financial fact had to be recorded
twice. One on the debit side and one on the credit side. As such, the system contained built in checks and
3
, balances because at the end of a reporting period, debit always had to be equal to credit. A famous quote
by Piccoli is A person should not go to sleep at night until the debits equal the credits. But importantly,
most of the accounting principles and cycles described by him are still in use to this very day.
Relationships in double-entry accounting
The relationships and double entry accounting that Pacioli describe can be depicted in a matrix that
contains starting and ending positions and events that happen in between these starting and ending
positions. Since double entry accounting is a financial system, these events represent financial facts,
meaning that they can be expressed in monetary values.
Trade company that purchases goods from its vendors, keeps these goods in its warehouses for a while,
and then sells them at a price higher than the cost price. The company does not do cash on delivery
payments to its vendors, nor does it receive cash on delivery payments from its customers. This implies
that there are accounts payable, the creditors and accounts receivable the debtors. Eventually the debtor
should pay and eventually the company should pay its creditors.
Accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory and cash positions that can only change when events
occur that affect these positions. For this company, these events are purchases, sales, cash disbursements
and cash receipts.
We now can clearly see the relationships in the resulting matrix:
- inventory of goods at the beginning of the reporting period plus purchases minus sales should be
the inventory of goods at the end of the reporting period.
- The cash position at the beginning of the reporting period, minus cash disbursements plus cash
receipts should be the cash position at the end of the reporting period.
- Accounts payable at the beginning of the reporting period plus purchases minus cash
disbursements to creditors should be accounts payable at the end of the reporting period
- accounts receivable at the beginning of the reporting period plus sales minus cash receipts from
debtors should be accounts receivable at the end of the reporting period.
Should there be a mistake in one single component, then this system will automatically reveal it.
Double entry accounting also found its way into the literature. A famous quote on double entry accounting
stems from the German author, Johann Wolfgang von Gouda. He wrote: ‘What advantages does double
entry accounting offer to the merchant! It is one of the most beautiful inventions of the human mind, and
every good master of the house must implement it in his business.’
Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre
Quote: ‘Welche Vorteile gewährt die doppelte Buchhaltung dem Kaufmanne! Es ist eine der schönsten
Erfindungen des menschlichen Geistes, und ein jeder gute Haushalter sollte sie in seiner Wirtschaft
einführen.’ What advantages does double-entry accounting offer to the merchant! It is one of the most
