...The history and Accounting practices in Australia Development of accounting practices in Australia: The Accounting Practices were firstly recommended and issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) in 1946 and these accounting practices were called as “Recommendations of Accounting Principles”. These accounting principles were just barely “copied” from those issued earlier by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wale (ICAEW). However, these accounting practices somehow led to high level of nonconformity because lack of united professional body to work on the issues incurred. Other than ICAA that is incorporated by Royal Charter, another professional accounting body named CPA Australia (was initially known as the Australian Society of Accountants, ASA then changed its name to the Australian Society of Certified Practicing Accountants, ASCPA and changed it name to CPA Australia in 2000) also issued accounting practices that deal with subjects related directly in preparation of financial statements. In 1966, ICAA and CPA were then jointed and work together to form Australian Accounting Research Foundation (AARF) to research and issue proposed accounting standards through its Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) and the Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (PSASB) to the private sector and public sector organizations. The process of how AARF issued accounting standards was pretty much the same as how The International Public Sector...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION Accounting has rightly been termed as the language of the business. The basic function of a language is to serve as a means of communication. Accounting also serves this function. It communicates the results of business operations to various parties who have some stake in the business viz., the proprietor, creditors, investors, Government and other agencies. Though, accounting is generally associated with business but it is not only business which makes use of accounting. Persons like housewives, Government and other individuals also make use of accounting. For example, a housewife has to keep a record of the money received and spent by her during a particular period. She can record her receipts of money on one page of her "household diary" while payments for different items such as milk, food, clothing, house, education etc. on some other page or pages of her diary in a chronological order. Such a record will help her in knowing about: (i) The sources from which she received cash and the purposes for which it was utilized. (ii) Whether her receipts are more than her payments or vice-versa? (iii) The balance of cash in hand or deficit, if any at the end of a period. In case the housewife records her transactions regularly, she can collect valuable information about the nature of her receipts and payments. For example, she can find out the total amount spent by her during a period (say a year) on different items say milk, food, education, entertainment, etc. Similarly...

...Intermediate accounting 1 paper Kari Andrew 11/15/13 There are many different accounting specialties cost accounting, managerial accounting, financial governmental accounting, tax accounting, and many more. Right now I am currently an accounting major as well as business marketing major. Accounting was never my first choice; however when I had taken it in high school I found a small interest in it. Math was always my strongest subject in school and I have also always been well with dealing with money. While taking accounting I learned there is way more to it than just numbers and money. This is just like there are more accounting specialties than I had thought. I am currently 22 years old so what I want to do with my life is still a huge mystery. There are three accounting specialties that have sparked my interest these specialties are accounting clerk, international accounting, and tax accounting. All three of these jobs I have recently learned about and started researching so in my paper I would like to explain to you why these three jobs have caught my attention. The first accounting specialty that I had an interest in is an accounting clerk. The main reason behind this is because I always wanted to work in a bank. Ever since I was about 16 money has always been an interest of mine counting it, managing it, or just dealing with it in general. An accounting clerk is someone who will do all the data entry. They provide bookkeeping and accounting support for their company...

...What is Accounting? By Sarah McCann The word accounting itself is not easily defined as it holds many uses depending on the organisation or business in which it is being used. However, the American Accounting Association defines accounting as “the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic information to permit informed judgements and decisions by users of the information” (American Accounting Association 1966, page 1). This definition suggests that accounting is the provision of a business’s financial information to others in order to help those who control the organisation and make decisions – “accounting information should help identify and assess the financial consequences of certain decisions” (McLaney and Atrill 2005, page ). Managers need help making big decisions that will have a huge effect on all those involved in the business and as a result they need financial information to help aid and support their decisions. This definition also mentions the measuring of economic information, and it mustn’t go unsaid that the way in which information is measured, is not a simple process. It involves “making judgements about the value of assets owned by a business or liabilities owed by a business. It is also about accurately measuring how much profit or loss has been made by a business in a particular period” (Riley 2012, page 1). This can be a complicated process as how do you value something with no monetary worth? Furthermore, this definition highlights...

...Ashton Langis Accounting 2 Research Paper Mrs. Trop Accounting Principles and Regulations Project In accounting there are five main principles or regulations that are talked about the ost. The five are GAAP, SEC, FASB, IFRS, and SOX. All of these regulations and principles have a huge impact on how the accounting profession is run and how companies keep their records. Some help with the security of customers and books while others create standards and regulations. GAAP- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or GAAP are all of the accounting principles and standards that most companies and states use to run and regulate their businesses. It is a general principle that all businesses can follow without many hiccups. The main purpose for GAAP is to organize all accounting records, organize information about a company, disclose information about a company that investors can use, and to create financial statements. There are 10 fundamental parts of GAAP that keep everything flowing smoothly.

...Introduction to the Theory of Accounting and Control ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Three ideas are central to understanding accounting and control in organizations. First, all organizations are sets of contracts among individuals or groups of indi viduals. Second, provision of shared information among the contracting parties helps design and implement these contracts. Finally, control in organizations is a sustainable balance or equilibrium among the interests of its participants. It should be distinguished from control of organizations, which suggests manipulation or exploitation of some participants by others. We start this overview by stating these ideas briefly, leaving most definitions and details for the following chapters. We conclude with a summary of ideas about micro and macro aspects of accounting and control presented in the book. Organizations as a Set of Contracts Organizations are many things to many people. Business firms, for example, are employers to those who work for them; customers to the purveyors of goods and services; suppliers to their own customers; benefactors to those who receive their charity; investments to those who save; taxpayers to the government; a threat to the livelihood of their competitors; impersonal bureaucracies to the powerless; and pillars of free enterprise to the believers. Organizations are variously seen as com plex networks of human relationships, production functions, hierarchies, even garbage cans....

Accounting identifies and records all activities that effect the organization financially. Accounting is a means of communicating the numbers.

One example of an economic event is telephone service is provided by Verizon.
