TEACHING/LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Principal:

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 need to apply
professional judgment in the application of accounting principles.

4. To emphasize the role and sources of ethics for the accounting profession.

Supporting:

5. To summarize how accounting has evolved over time.

6. To identify sources of standards for other types of accounting and to contrast these with financial
accounting standards.

7. To introduce the issues associated with the development of international accounting standards.

,8. To describe the context of the FASB Conceptual Framework project.

9. To summarize Concepts Statement No. 8, Chapter 1 — The Objective of General Purpose
Financial Reporting.

10. To relate the objectives of financial reporting for nonbusiness organizations to those of business
enterprises.

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 Financial
Reporting, in detail.

, 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.

E1.6. Suggested discussion strategy:
Q: Why does a business have value?
A: It provides the owners an opportunity to earn a profit, an opportunity for
personal fulfillment from being in charge, and an opportunity to provide a product
or service that is useful to others.

Q: How can this value be measured?
A: Financial information will have the most to do with evaluating the firm‘s profitability,
and the financial statements include this information.

Q: How is an asking price for the sale of a business established?
A: The asking price should be a function of the profit, resources, and obligations related
to the business as shown in the financial statements.

Note: This exercise also provides an opportunity to point out some of the basic
limitations of the data provided by the accounting process (e.g., historical cost
