86 views66 pages

Document Summary

You know that the goal of accounting is to produce financial statements that can be used for decision-making. Financial statements are used to both understand and evaluate (assess, judge) the results of business activities. Managers of a business use financial statements to review past performance and make decisions for the future. Creditors (banks) assess a business to make decisions with regard to loans. Owners review the financial statements to make decisions about future investments. Every stakeholder which was introduced in chapter 1 uses the financial statements to make informed decisions but they can only do that if they analyze the financial statements in a systematic (organized, orderly) way. Throughout the chapters you have reviewed specific financial statement accounts in isolation (separated, segregated) but you can only understand and evaluate a business when you look at the financial statements as a whole.
