, CHAPTER 1
ACCOUNTING IN ACTION
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information
system that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to
interested users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management
uses accounting information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners)
decide whether to buy, hold, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c)
Creditors (suppliers and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on
the basis of accounting information. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing
authorities, regulatory agencies, customers, and labor unions.
2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics
are the standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial
reporting depends on sound ethical behavior.
Accounting is based on standards, such as International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS). IFRS generally uses one of two measurement principles, historical cost or fair value
principle. Two main assumptions are the monetary unit assumption and the economic entity
assumption. The monetary unit assumption requires that companies include in the accounting
records only transaction data that can be expressed in terms of money. The economic entity
assumption requires that the activities of each economic entity be kept separate from the
activities of its owner(s) and other economic entities.
3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting
equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditors' claims on total assets. Equity
is the ownership claim on total assets.
The expanded accounting equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Share Capital—Ordinary
+ Revenues – Expenses – Dividends
Share capital—ordinary is affected when the company issues new ordinary shares in
exchange for cash. Revenues are the gross increase in equity resulting from business
activities for the purpose of earning income. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed
or services used in the process of earning revenue. Dividends are payments the company
makes to its shareholders.

4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business
transaction must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual
asset increases, there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase
in a specific liability, or (3) increase in equity.
5. Describe the five financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement
presents the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or loss, for a specific period of
time. A retained earnings statement summarizes the changes in retained earnings for a
specific period of time. A statement of financial position reports the assets, liabilities, and
equity at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information about the cash
inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. A comprehensive
income statement adds or subtracts any other comprehensive income to net income to arrive
at comprehensive Income.

6. Explain the career opportunities in accounting. Accounting offers many different jobs in
fields such as public and private accounting, government, and forensic accounting.
Accounting is a popular major because there are many different types of jobs, with unlimited
potential for career advancement.
