INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS G G G




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES G G




1. Identify the forms of business organization and the uses of accounting information. A sole
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


proprietorship is a business owned by one person. A partnership is a business owned by two or
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


more people associated as partners. A corporation is a separate legal entity for which evidence of
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


ownership is provided by shares of stock. Internal users are managers who need accounting
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


information to plan, organize, and run business operations. The primary external users are
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


investors and creditors. Investors (stockholders) use accounting information to decide whether to
G G G G G G G G G G G G


buy, hold, or sell shares of a company‘s stock. Creditors (suppliers and bankers) use accounting
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


information to assess the risk of granting credit or loaning money to a business. Other groups
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


who have an indirect interest in a business are taxing authorities, customers, labor unions, and
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


regulatory agencies.

2. Explain the three principal types of business activity. Financing activities involve collecting the
G G G G G G G G G G G G


necessary funds to support the business. Investing activities involve acquiring the resources
G G G G G G G G G G G G


necessary to run the business. Operating activities involve putting the resources of the business
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


into action to generate a profit.
G G G G G G




3. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement presents
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


the revenues and expenses of a company for a specific period of time. A retained earnings
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


statement summarizes the changes in retained earnings that have occurred for a specific period of
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and stockholders‘ equity of a business at a
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information concerning the cash inflows
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


(receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. Assets are resources owned by a
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


business. Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the business. Liabilities represent claims of
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


creditors on the assets of the business. Stockholders‘ equity represents the claims of owners on
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


the assets of the business. Stockholders‘ equity is subdivided into two parts: common stock and
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


retained earnings. The basic accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders‘ Equity.
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


Within the annual report, the management discussion and analysis provides management‘s
G G G G G G G G G G G


interpretation of the company‘s results and financial position as well as a discussion of plans for
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


the future. Notes to the financial statements provide additional explanation or detail to make the
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


financial statements more informative. The auditor‘s report expresses an opinion as to whether
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


the financialstatements present fairly the company‘s results of operations and financial position.
G G G G G G G G G G G G G



*4. Explain the career opportunities in accounting. Accounting offers many different jobs in fields such
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


as public and private accounting, governmental, and forensic accounting. Accounting is a popular
G G G G G G G G G G G G G


major because there are many different types of jobs, with unlimited potential for career
G G G G G G G G G G G G G G


advancement
