Question: Who are the users of Accounting Information? Ans: The information that a user of accounting information needs depends upon the kinds of decisions the user makes. There are two broad groups of users of accounting information: internal users and external users. Internal users: Internal users of accounting information are managers who plan, organize, and run the business. These include marketing managers, production supervisors, finance directors, and company officers. External users: External users are individuals and organizations outside a company who want financial information about the company. The two most common types of external users are investors and creditors. Investors (owners) use accounting information to make decisions to buy, hold, or sell ownership shares of a company. Creditors (such as suppliers and bankers) use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money.

Question: Define Accounting. Ans: Accounting consists of three basic activities it identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested users. As a starting point to the accounting process, a company identifies the economic events relevant to its business. Once a company identifies economic events, it records those events in order to provide a history of its financial activities. Recording consists of keeping a systematic, chronological diary of events, measured in dollars and cents. Finally, the company communicates the collected information to interested users by means of accounting reports. The most common of these reports are called financial statements.
Question: The terms debit and credit mean increase and decrease respectively. Do you agree? Explain. Ans: No, I don t agree that, The terms debit and credit mean increase and decrease respectively. The term debit indicates the left side of an account, and credit indicates the right side. They do not mean increase or decrease, as is commonly thought. We use the terms debit and credit repeatedly in the recording process to describe where entries are made in accounts. For example, the act of entering an amount on the left side of an account is called debiting the account. Making an entry on the right side is crediting the account. When comparing the totals of the two sides, an account shows a debit balance if the total of the debit amounts exceeds the credits. An account shows a credit balance if the credit amounts exceed the debits. Having increases on one side and decreases on the other reduces recording errors and helps in determining the totals of each side of the account as well as the account balance. The balance is determined by netting the two sides.
Question: What are the elements of financial statements? Question: Companies prepare four financial statements from the summarized accounting data: i. Income Statement: An income statement presents the revenues and expenses ii. iii. iv. and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time. Owner s Equity Statement: An owner s equity statement summarizes the changes in owner s equity for a specific period of time. Balance Sheet: A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner s equity at a specific date. Statement of Flow: A statement of cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. These statements provide relevant financial data for internal and external users.

Examples include property taxes, insurance, rent, supervisory salaries, and depreciation on buildings and equipment.
