designs and produces products or
services of acceptable quality at a cost
lower than that of its competitors.
Under a differential strategy, a business
designs and produces products or services
that possess unique attributes or
characteristics which customers are willing
to pay a premium price.

Profession of Accounting
Accountants employed by a business firm or
a not-for-profit organization are said to be
engaged in private accounting.
Accountants and their staff who provide
services on a fee basis are said to be
employed in public accounting.
Generally Accepted
Accounting
Principles (GAAP)
The business entity concept
limits the economic data in
the accounting system to
data related directly to the
activities of the business.
The cost concept is the
basis for entering the
exchange price, or cost
of an acquisition in the
accounting records.
The objectivity concept
requires that the accounting
records and reports be based
upon objective evidence.
The unit-of-measure
concept requires that
economic data be
recorded in dollars.
The Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity
The resources
owned by a
business
The Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity
The rights of the
creditors, which
represent debts
of the business
The Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity
The rights of the
owners
What is a business
transaction?
A business transaction is an economic event or
condition that directly changes an entity’s financial
condition or directly affects its results of operations.

Books, Records & Controls
Management is…
• Planning, organizing, directing, and
controlling a business. The most
important and challenging is control…
the process of analyzing, evaluating
and interpreting the production and
financial performance of a business.
Information…
• Can and does come from many
sources. Some of the best and
most needed information can come
from each business’ own financial
and production records.
Systems…
• Need to be implemented that allow
for only necessary record keeping
and effective use of records.
Summary information from these
records should be invaluable in day
to day business decisions.

Analyzing Information
Balance Sheet Analysis
• Are total assets higher or lower?

liabilities plus owner’s equity increasing or
decreasing?
Income Statement Analysis

• What is the precentage change in total
revenues?
• Is the percentage of total expenses to total
revenues increasing or decreasing?
Integrative Analysis
• Is the business operating efficiently by
using the least amount of asset investment
to generate a given level of total revenues?
• Calculate Total Asset Turnover
– Total revenues
– divided by

Window Dressing
Window Dressing
• ‘Window dressing’ refers to attempts by business
to present its accounts in the best light
• Has become more of a necessity as pressure to
please shareholders and the City increases
• It is NOT illegal
• Deliberate deception in the accounts is fraud
Window Dressing
• How do firms ‘massage’ the accounts?
• Timing of reporting
• Balance sheet – snapshot of a business at a point
in time, therefore:
– Delay major payment
– Include large injection of cash/assets
• Exploit accounting procedures – often a wide
range in the definition
Window Dressing
• Exploiting other definitions – extraordinary
items – what counts as ‘extraordinary’?
• Depreciation – different results gained using
different methods – which is the ‘best’ and
the most accurate?
– Residual values – could be altered
Depreciation
Depreciation
• When businesses buy fixed assets (those that will
last longer than one year) the value of the asset
will change
• Depreciation seeks to take account of such
changes in the accounts
• An imprecise science allows different
interpretations
Depreciation
• Take the machine here:
– What is its life span?
– How much did it cost originally?
– How much will it be worth at the end
of its useful life?
– What will be its value after 1 year?
– After 2 years, 4 years, 15 years?
– Would anyone else want to buy it?
– How specialised is it?
– What would it cost to replace after 5
years?

• Key terms:
• Historical Value - initial purchase price
• Value at the end of the life of the asset - the Residual
Value (RV)
• Life span of the asset
• Straight Line
– Historic cost - RV/Useful life
• Declining Balance
– Depreciating assets at a constant rate each year
