information that can improve decisions. The decisions are oriented toward achieving the

various goals of the organization while maintaining a satisfactory financial situation.

financial results of its activities. It has often been referred to as the language of

business. The vocabulary used by accounting is the language of nonbusiness

organizations as well.

1-5. Accounting is subdivided into two major areas: managerial accounting and financial
m m m m m m m m m m m
accounting. Managerial accounting relates to generating any financial information that
m m m m m m m m m m
m managers can use to improve the future results of the organization. This includes
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m techniques designed to generate any financial data that might help managers make more
m m m m m m m m m m m m
effective decisions. Major aspects of managerial accounting relate to making financial plans
m m m m m m m m m m m m
for the organization, implementing those plans, and then working to ensure that the plans
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m are achieved. Some examples of managerial accounting include preparing annual
m m m m m m m m m
m operating budgets, generating information for use in making major investment decisions,
m m m m m m m m m m
m and providing the data needed to decide whether to buy or lease a major piece of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m equipment. Financial accounting provides retrospective information. As events that have
m m m m m m m m m
m financial implications occur they are recorded by the financial accounting system. From
m m m m m m m m m m m
time to time (usually monthly, quarterly, or annually), the recorded data are summarized
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m and reported to interested users. The users include both internal managers and people
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m outside the organization. Those outsiders include those who have lent or might lend
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m money to the organization (creditors), those who might sell things to the organization
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m (called suppliers or vendors), and other interested parties. These interested parties may
m m m m m m m m m m m
include those with a particular interest in public service organizations, such as regulators,
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m legislators, and citizens. Financial reports provide information on the financial status of
m m m m m m m m m m m
m the organization at a specific point in time, as well as reporting the past results of the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
organization‘s operations (i.e., how well it has done from a financial viewpoint).

1-6. Finance focuses on the alternative sources and uses of the organization‘s financial
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m resources. Obtaining funds when needed from appropriate sources and the deployment
m m m m m m m m m m
m of resources within the organization fall under this heading. In addition, finance involves
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m the financial markets (such as stock and bond markets) that provide a means to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m generating funds for organizations.

1-7. Yes. Achieving the goals of the organization requires financial planning. Financial
m m m m m m m m m m m
m management provides information for managers to use in making their decisions. It
m m m m m m m m m m m
m helps managers by providing information on the likely financial impact of each proposed
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m alternative. It also provides information about financial stability, efficiency, and
m m m m m m m m m
m effectiveness.
1-8. Clearly, we might expect some public service organizations that are proprietary, such as
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m some hospitals, to earn profits. But what about other public service organizations such
m m m m m m m m m m m m
m as charities? They should make a profit as well. Profits provide a safety margin against
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m unexpected costs, provide resources to replace buildings and equipment, and to expand
m m m m m m m m m m m
m and improve services.
