ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Yes. Accounting is the financial information system that provides useful financial
information to every person who owns and uses economic resources or otherwise
engages in economic activity.
LO 1 BT: C Difficulty: S Time: 5 min. AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting
2. Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run businesses and include
managers, supervisors, directors, and company officers. External users work for
other organizations but have reasons to be interested in the company’s financial
position and performance, and include current or potential investors (owners), and
creditors.
Internal users may want answers to several types of questions. For example, the
finance department wants to know if there is enough cash to pay the bills. The
marketing department wants to know what price the business should use in selling
its products to maximize profits. The human resources department wants to know
how many people the business can afford to hire. The production department
wants to know which product lines make the business the most profit.
External users may want answers to several types of questions. For example,
investors want to know if the company is earning enough to give them a return on
their investment. Creditors want to know if the companyis able to pay its debts as
they come due. Labour unions want to know whether the owners can afford to pay
increased wages and benefits. Customers are interested in whether a company will
continue to honour its product warranties and support its product lines. Taxing
authorities want to know whether the company respects the tax laws. Regulatory
agencies want to know whether the company is respecting established rules.

3. The main objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information to
investors and creditors (external users) to make decisions about a business. Users
may be potential investors who need to decide if they wish to invest in the
business or they may be creditors deciding if they wish to lend money to the
business. These users want to know if the business is running successfully and can
generate cash and earn a profit.
