Control AccountsControl Accounts for Accounts for Accounts Receivable and Accounts PayableReceivable and Accounts Payable
In the future, when we prepare a trial balance, or a work sheet, we will not display the debtors’ names or creditors’ names associated with Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.Alternatively, we will use control accountscontrol accounts.The Accounts Receivable control accountAccounts Receivable control account represents the sum of the balances of all the individual Accounts Receivable accounts.

Control AccountsControl Accounts for Accounts for Accounts Receivable and Accounts PayableReceivable and Accounts Payable
The Accounts Payable control accountAccounts Payable control account represents the sum of the balances of all the individual Accounts Payable accounts.Having two control accounts, instead of dozens or hundreds of individual debtors’ and creditors’ accounts, streamlines the work sheet.The details about the accounts of individual debtors and creditors are kept in separate records. This will be covered in more detail in Chapter 11.

Trend Analysis
A trend analysistrend analysis shows financial data over a number of consecutive periods.It is not easy to interpret a trend just by looking at the numbers.Calculating a percentage change compared to a base year adds meaning to the numbers.Graphing the data can also provide a better perspective of the trend over time.

Another example, fixed assets fixed assets and long-long-term liabilitiesterm liabilities.

Accountability
Accounting data is used in many ways, the most important of which is to provide information for the financial statements.AccountabilityAccountability is the company officers’ obligation to show how well they have been managing the company.The financial statements provide evidence of accountabilityaccountability.
48
Users of Financial Statements
The five groups who use financial statements most commonly are:
1.1. ManagersManagers – managers probably us the financial statements more than any other group. They use past performance in order to improve results and efficiency, and to eliminate weaknesses.
2.2. OwnersOwners – many owners are not directly involved in managing their companies. Financial statements help them evaluate the performance of the management team.
49
Users of Financial Statements
1.1. CreditorsCreditors – particularly bankers, ask for financial statements to assess the company’s progress and its ability to meet its loan obligations.
2.2. ShareholdersShareholders – the law requires that corporations provide their shareholders with financial statements. The shareholders are the real owners of an incorporated company and can use this information to assess progress.
3.3. Investors and brokersInvestors and brokers – shares of public corporations are traded through the stock exchange. Employees of stock brokerage firms and potential investors stay informed by reading corporate financial reports.
50
Quality of Financial Statements
Users of financial statements expect accurate, complete, up-to-date, and reliable information.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAPs) play an important role in the accountability process … they provide the users of financial statements with confidence in the numbers.
51
Quality of Financial Statements
An auditaudit is a critical review by a public accountant of the internal controls and accounting records of a company.The auditaudit makes it possible to evaluate the fairness of the company’s financial statements.
52
Quality of Financial Statements
In addition to the GAAPs previously discussed, the following help produce credible financial statements:
The consistency principleconsistency principle requires that a businessmust use the same accounting methods and
procedures from period to period. If there is a change in method from one period to
another, the financial statements must clearly indicate the change.
Consistency is assumed unless otherwise stated. Consistency prevents manipulation of information
through the changing of methods of accounting.
53
The materiality principlemateriality principle requires accountants to include in a firm’s financial statements
any information that could be considered material (or important) to the users of that
financial information.
Quality of Financial Statements
For information not to be included, it must be such that neither the net income nor the financial position of the firm are impacted in any significant way.
Excluding particular information must not lead statement users to make decisions different from what they would make were they to have that information.
54
The full disclosure principlefull disclosure principle states thatall information needed for a full understanding
of the company’s financial affairs must beincluded in the financial statements.
Quality of Financial Statements
Some items that are necessary for an understanding of the company’s financial affairs may not affect the ledger accounts directly.
Such items would be included in the form of accompanying notes to the financial statements.
e.g. Pending litigations, tax disputes, company takeovers, etc.
