1. World markets are becoming increasingly intertwined. The tremendous variety and volume of both
exported and imported goods indicates the extensive involvement in international trade. As a
result, the move towards adoption of international financial reporting standards has and will
continue in the future.
LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


2. Financial accounting measures, classifies, and summarizes in report form those activities and that
information which relate to the enterprise as a whole for use by parties both internal and external
to a business enterprise. Managerial accounting also measures, classifies, and summarizes in
report form enterprise activities, but the communication is for the use of internal, managerial
parties, and relates more to subsystems of the entity. Managerial accounting is management
decision-oriented and directed more toward product line, division, and profit center reporting.
LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


3. Financial statements generally refer to the four basic financial statements: statement of financial
position, statement of comprehensive income (or income statement), statement of cash flows, and
y
statement of changes in equity. Financial reporting is a broader concept; it includes the basic
financial statements and any other means of communicating financial and economic data to
interested external parties.

4. If a company‘s financial performance is measured accurately, fairly, and on a timely basis, the right
g
managers and companies are able to attract investment capital. To provide unreliable and
irrelevant information leads to poor capital allocation which adversely affects the securities market.

5. A single set of high quality accounting standards ensures adequate comparability. Investors are
able to make better investment decisions if they receive financial information from a U.S. company
M
that is comparable to an international competitor.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


6. The objective of general-purpose financial reporting is to provide financial information about the
reporting entity that is useful to present and potential equity investors, lenders, and other creditors
in making decisions about providing resources to the entity.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


7. General-purpose financial statements provide financial reporting information to a wide variety of
users. To be cost effective in providing this information, general-purpose financial statements
provide at the least cost the most useful information possible.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


8. Shareholders, creditors, suppliers, employees, and regulators all use general-purpose financial
statements. The primary user group is capital providers (shareholders and creditors).
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


9. The proprietary perspective is not considered appropriate because this perspective generally does
not reflect a realistic view of the financial reporting environment. Instead, the entity perspective
is adopted which is consistent with the present business environment where most companies
engaged in financial reporting have substance separate and distinct from their owners.

,Questions Chapter 1 (Continued)

10. This statement is not correct. The objective of financial reporting is primarily to provide information
to investors interested in assessing the company‘s ability to generate net cash inflows and
management‘s ability to protect and enhance the capital providers‘ investments. Financial
reporting should help investors assess the amounts, timing and uncertainty of prospective cash
inflows.

11. The two organizations involved in international standard-setting are IOSCO (International Organi-
zation of Securities Commissions) and the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board.) The
IOSCO does not set accounting standards, but ensures that the global markets can operate in an
efficient and effective manner. Conversely, the IASB‘s mission is to develop a single set of high
quality, enforceable and global financial reporting standards (IFRSs) for general-purpose financial
statements.
LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


12. IOSCO (International Organization of Securities Commissions) is an association of organizations
that regulate the world‘s securities markets. Members are generally the main financial regulators
for a given country. IOSCO does not set accounting standards.

interest, a single set of high quality, enforceable global international financial reporting standards
(IFRSs) for general-purpose financial statements. g

14. The purpose of the Monitoring Board is to establish a link between accounting standard-setters

and those public authorities (such as IOSCO) that generally oversee accounting standard-setters.
This board also provides political legitimacy to the overall organization.

15. The IASB preliminary views are based on research and analysis conducted by the IASB staff.
IASB exposure drafts are issued after the Board evaluates research and public response to
preliminary views. IASB standards are issued after the Board evaluates responses to the exposure
draft.
LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


16. IASB International Financial Reporting Standards are financial accounting standards issued by the
IASB and are referred to as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The IFRS
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting sets forth fundamental objectives and concepts
that the Board uses in developing future standards of financial reporting. The intent of the
Conceptual Framework is to form a cohesive set of interrelated concepts that will serve as tools for
solving existing and emerging problems in a consistent manner.

17. In ranking from the most authoritative to least authoritative, International Financial Reporting
Standards are the most authoritative, followed by International Financial Reporting Standard
Interpretations and then the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.

, Questions Chapter 1 (Continued)

18. The International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applies a
principles-based approach in providing interpretative guidance. The IFRIC issues interpretations
that cover newly identified financial reporting issues not specifically dealt with in IFRS, and issues
where conflicting interpretations have developed, or seem likely to develop in the absence of
authoritative guidance.
LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


19. Some major challenges facing the accounting profession relate to the following items:
Nonfinancial measurement—how to report significant key performance measurements such as
customer satisfaction indexes, backlog information and reject rates on goods purchased.
Forward-looking information—how to report more future-oriented information.
Soft assets—how to report on intangible assets, such as market know-how, market
dominance, and well-trained employees.
Timeliness—how to report more real-time information.
LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


20. The sources of pressure are innumerable, but the most intense and continuous pressure to
change or influence the development of IFRS come from individual companies, industry

accounting organizations, and investing public. g y

21. Economic consequences means the impact of accounting reports on the wealth positions of
issuers and users of financial information, and the decision-making behavior resulting from that

leads to wealth transfers among these various groups. a g
impact. In other words, accounting information impacts various users in many different ways which


If politics plays an important role in the development of accounting rules, the rules will be subject
to manipulation for the purpose of furthering whatever policy prevails at the moment. No matter
M
how well intentioned the rule-maker may be, if information is designed to indicate that investing in
a particular enterprise involves less risk than it actually does, or is designed to encourage invest-
ment in a particular segment of the economy, financial reporting will suffer an irreplaceable loss of
credibility.
LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


22. No one particular proposal is expected in answer to this question. The students‘ proposals,
however, should be defensible relative to the following criteria:
(1) The method must be efficient, responsive, and expeditious.
(2) The method must be free of bias and be above or insulated from pressure groups.
(3) The method must command widespread support if it does not have legislative authority.
(4) The method must produce sound yet practical accounting principles or standards.
The students‘ proposals might take the form of alterations of the existing methodology, an accoun-
ting court (as proposed by Leonard Spacek), or governmental device.
LO: 4, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


23. Concern exists about fraudulent financial reporting because it can undermine the entire financial
reporting process. Failure to provide information to users that is accurate can lead to inappropriate
allocations of resources in our economy. In addition, failure to detect massive fraud can lead to
additional governmental oversight of the accounting profession.
