Need for Accounting
Human beings have limitations. Everyday transactions cannot be retained in the human brain for quite a period of time without confusions and complications. To avoid these, transactions and other important events should be recorded. Such written records serve as reference for future recall. In business, several parties are interested to its records to seek answers to their questions and bases for their decisions. These parties can be classified into direct users or those who have direct interest to business records and indirect users or those who are indirectly interested to the accounting information of the business. Among the direct users are the following:
1. Owner. Questions like "Has the business improved? Is it wise to make additional investments? Is there a need for it? May be asked by the owner of a firm. He is interested to know whether the business should be maintained, increased, decreased, or disposed of completely. Further, he is interested to know whether he is getting a fair return of his investment.
2. Management. The management may ask questions such as "What are the resources of the business? How much is its debts? What are the expenses which can be minimized? Did the business earn? What is the proportion of the expenses to sales? Is there a need for expansion?" To the management, financial information serves as a measure for making future financial decisions and a measure of its effectiveness.
3. Prospective Investors. Will my money grow in this business?" an investor may ask. An investor is interested in the financial statement to determine whether to acquire ownership in the firm.
4. Creditors. A creditor may ask the following questions before granting loans: Can the business meet its obligations?" Creditors use financial statements as a basis to answer such question.
All of these questions and many others can be answered and wise decisions can be made only after a thorough study of the accounting reports of the business. Like Wise, to the employees and labor unions such information is useful for negotiating raise in wages and conducive working conditions; and to the government, accounting records are needed to regulate businesses and for tax collection purposes.
Definition of Accounting The Committee on Terminology, American Institute of Accountants defined accounting as the art of recording, classifying, summarizing in a significant manner COMPUTER SECRETARIAL ACCT 11 Principle of Accounting Bulacan Polytechnic College Date Developed: June 2020 Date Revised: July 2020 Page 5 of 10 Document No. 50-ACCT 11 Developed by: Sarah Joy Dumalay Martin Revision # 02 and in terms of money, transactions and events, which are in part, at least, of financial character and interpreting the results thereof.

Recording - This is technically called bookkeeping. Some people contuse bookkeeping and accounting as one and the same. However, bookkeeping is only a part of accounting-the recording phase. In this phase, business transactions are recorded systematically and chronologically in the proper accounting books. There are two kinds of bookkeeping: the single entry bookkeeping and the double entry bookkeeping. Single entry bookkeeping does not show the two-fold effects of business transactions. It shows only the debit or the credit of each transaction. The double entry bookkeeping, however, reflects the two-fold effects of business transactions. It has debit and a credit. In this book the double entry bookkeeping will be dealt.
Classifying - In this phase, items are sorted and grouped. Similar items are classified under the same name. They may be classified as liquid or non-liquid, operating or non-operating, real or nominal. This classification is useful to the needs of the management.
Summarizing - After each accounting period, data recorded are summarized through financial statements. These reports are submitted to the management at the end of each accounting period or as the need arises.
Interpreting - Usually, due to the technicality of accounting reports, the accountant’s interpretation on the financial statement is needed. In this case, analysis reports are submitted together with the financial statements
