Accounting Basics
Accounting Standards
Accounting principles have been in existence since the late 1400s when devised by Luca Pacioli, an Italian mathematician, and have evolved over time
Modern-day accounting principles in the United States are called generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); these principles guide the work of accountants and auditors
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has regulatory authority over accounting principles used by public corporations
The SEC is a federal agency responsible for enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry
It delegates the responsibility for the development of GAAP to the accounting profession via the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
The FASB develops new standards via due process activities that allow input from accountants and executives in business and industry
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) develops global accounting standards
Multinational companies follow IASB standards
The IASB works with other key global accounting standards bodies to create a single source of accounting standards
The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) sets state and local government standards for accounting
The GASB is a private, nongovernmental organization subject to oversight and funding by the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF)
The federal government follows standards set by the FASB when performing accounting for its units
Concepts & Principles
Entity concept
An organization stands apart from other organizations as a separate economic unit
Assets and obligations must be accounted for separately from the personal resources and obligations of its owners
Going concern concept (a.k.a. continuity assumption): The entity will continue to operate long enough to meet its contractual obligations and carry out plans
Time period concept
Businesses should report information at regular intervals
Annual reports show income for the last 12 months and end on the last day of the fiscal year; therefore, annual reports show the financial position as of the
