21 Notes All financial statements should be accompanied by notes which provide the reader with supplemental information about the financial condition and results of operations of the company.

22 Management Uses of Financial Statements Marketing managers and credit managers use customers financial statements to decide whether to extend credit. Purchasing managers use suppliers financial statements to decide whether suppliers have the resources to meet the demand for products. Employees union and human resource managers use the company s financial statements as a basis for contract negotiations pay rates.

23 Responsibilities for the Accounting Communication Process Effective communication means that the recipient understands what the sender intends to convey. Decision makers need to understand accounting measurement rules.

24 Responsibilities for the Accounting Communications Process McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 24

25 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Securities Act of 1933 Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been given broad powers to determine measurement rules for financial statements.

26 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles The SEC has worked closely with the accounting profession to work out the detailed rules that have become known as GAAP. Currently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is recognized as the body to formulate GAAP.

27 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 27

28 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Companies incur the cost of preparing the financial statements and bear the following economic consequences... Effects on the selling price of stock. Effects on the amount of bonuses received by managers and other employees. Loss of competitive information to other companies.

29 International Perspective Since 2002, there has been substantial movement to develop international financial reporting standards by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

30 IFRS: No Longer If, but When The SEC will release a time line later this year for allowing U.S. companies to use international financial reporting standards. Sarah Johnson CFO.com US February 8, 2008 Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Christopher Cox, in a speech last week, quashed any doubts that the regulator will one day allow U.S. companies to use international financial reporting standards rather than GAAP. The SEC is working on a road map for transitioning U.S. companies to the global rules, he told members of the European-American Business Council. "The expanded use of a single, high-quality accounting standard will eventually empower investors to make better-informed investment decisions by giving them information that is more easily comparable," he said. His speech came just a few months after the SEC began accepting IFRS-prepared financial statements from some of its foreign registrants without requiring them to reconcile those filings to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

31 August 28, 2008; Page A1 WSJ SEC Moves to Pull Plug On U.S. Accounting Standards By KARA SCANNELL and JOANNA SLATER WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission signaled the demise of U.S. accounting standards, kicking off a process Wednesday that could ultimately require all publicly listed American companies to follow an international model instead. Introduced in two steps, the shift could eventually cut costs for companies and smooth cross-border investing. At the same time, investors worry it will create confusion, especially during the transition. Other critics worry that the international system offers too much wiggle room for companies, compared with the more precise rules enshrined in U.S. standards. The SEC's proposal would allow some large multinational companies to report earnings according to international accounting beginning in The SEC estimates at least 110 U.S. companies would qualify based on their market capitalization, among other factors. The agency also laid out a road map by which all U.S. companies would switch to International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, beginning in 2014, at the expense of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the guiding light of accountants for decades or later.

33 Management Responsibility and the Demand for Auditing To ensure the accuracy of the company s financial information, management: Maintains a system of controls. Hires outside independent auditors. Forms a board of directors to review these two safeguards.

34 Independent Auditors Auditors express an opinion as to the fairness of the financial statement presentation. Independent auditors have responsibilities that extend to the general public. Overall, I believe these financial statements are fair.

35 Independent Auditors An audit involves... Examining the financial reports to ensure compliance with GAAP. Examining the underlying transactions incorporated into the financial statements. Expressing an opinion as to the fairness of presentation of financial information.

38 Ethics, Reputation, and Legal Liability A CPA s reputation for honesty and competence is his/her most important asset. Like physicians, CPAs have liability for malpractice.
