What do they need to know (p.6)
![Page 6: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Bookkeeping vs. Accounting
Bookkeeping is the recording and maintenance of accounting information in a manual or computerized accounting system.
Accounting is the identification, recording and communication of economic events to interested users. Accountants must also analyze and interpret reported information.
![Page 7: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ethics and Why They Are Important
Ethics are standards of conduct by which we are judged.
Example of Arthur Andersen and Enron
How to solve an ethical problem:Recognize it Identify and analyze the components of the
problem Identify the alternatives of each course of
action
![Page 8: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Accounting information should be:
Relevant
Reliable
Timely
![Page 9: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
GAAP Principles are promulgated (put forward) by:Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
– profit and non-profit entitiesGovernment Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) – state and local governmentSecurities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Example of principle is the cost principle p. 10
![Page 10: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Important Assumptions
Monetary unit – accounting events can be expressed in terms of money, which is a (comparable) medium of exchange and a measure of value.
Economic entity – its activities are recorded and kept separate from those of its owner(s).
![Page 11: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How businesses are organized (p.11)
Sole proprietorship – owned by one person. Examples: small service-type businesses. Limited life and owners have unlimited liability for debtsPartnership – owned by two or more persons: Examples: retail/service companies: Limited life and owners have unlimited liability for debtsCorporation – separate legal entity. Example: GM, Exxon-Mobil, Wal-Mart. Unlimited life and owners are protected from liability.
![Page 12: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Basic Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
What do these terms mean?
![Page 13: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Assets are the resources owned by the business and expected to provide future services or benefits
Liabilities are claims against assets or debts and obligations
Equity is the residual, or owner’s claim, on assets
![Page 14: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Increases in Owner’s Equity
Investments by the ownerCashFurniture, computers, equipmentLand and buildings
RevenuesSales, fees, services, interest, royalties,
rent, commissions
![Page 15: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Decreases in Owner’s Equity
Drawings or WithdrawalsOwner pulls cash out of the business for
personal use
ExpensesCost of assets consumed in the process of
earning revenue. Examples: wages, supplies, taxes, rent, interest
![Page 16: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Net Income or Loss
If revenue is greater than expenses, the difference is net income, which increases equity
If revenue is less than expenses, the difference is net loss, which decreases equity
![Page 17: Welcome to Accounting 211! Chapter 1: An Introduction Your Instructor: Larry Stout Hours: See syllabus](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d565503460f94a33ade/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
