-Comparable to the financial statements of prior accounting periods
-Understandable to the users
3. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)
• Ground rules for financial reporting
• Accounting principles may also be termed standards, assumptions, conventions, concepts
• Constructing a satisfactory body of accounting theory is an ongoing process, because
accounting theory must change continually with changes in the business environment and
changes in the need of financial statements users
4. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)
Nature of Accounting Principles
• Accounting principles do not exist in nature, rather they are developed by humans

The Time Period Principle

• So all the companies and organizations can divide activities into time periods
• These time periods can be weekly, monthly, annually, or semi annually
The Stable-Dollar Assumption
• Money is used as the basic measuring unit for financial reporting
• It indicates the relative price of different goods and services
• Dollar is a stable unit od measure
8. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)
The Objectivity Principle
• The financial statements of an organization should be based on solid evidence
• Accountants rely on various kinds of evidence to support their financial measurements
• Objectivity has its roots in the quest of reliability
• Accountants want to make their economic measurements reliable and relevant to
decision makers
9. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)
Asset Valuation: The Cost Principle
• The asset be recorded at the cash amount at the time when asset is acquired
• Many accountants believe that current market value should be used as the basis for asset
valuation rather than historical cost
• Current value would be more meaningful
10. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)
Revenue Recognition: The Realization Principle
• Under the assumption of accrual accounting revenue should be recognized “when it is
earned”
• Revenue is realized when
-The earning process is essentially completed
-Objective evidence exits as to the amount of revenue earned
11. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)
Revenue Recognition: The Realization Principle
- The Installment Method
• Suitable for construction companies, especially for home builders as they routinely make contracts to
build and receive some revenue before and during the project while majority of revenue is received
after completion
- Percentage of Completion Method
• Suitable for those with much longer term contracts for huge projects
• Revenue and expenses are recorded based on how much work has been completed
12. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

to the income statement in the accounting period in which the revenue, to which those
expenses relate, is earned.

2. Prepaid Expense
3. Depreciation Expense
13. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
• Costs are matched with revenue in one of the two ways:
1. Immediate Recognition: Expenses are expected to have no future benefit or are even
without future benefit, they should be written-off in the current accounting period. For
e.g cost of goods sold, commission paid to salespeople, advertising expense etc.
1. Systematic Allocation of Costs: When the cost benefit several accounting periods. They
should be recognized on the basis of a systematic allocation method. Examples include
cost of insurance policies, depreciation asset, intangible asset such as good will.

convenient manner.
• Allows accountant to ignore other accounting principles with respect to items that are not
material.
17. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Conservatism as a guide in resolving Uncertainties:
• It is more useful when matters of judgment or estimates are involved
• Accountant should select those accounting methods which neither overstate neither
understate the fact

the accounting option which produces a lower net income for the current period and less
favorable financial position

of these statements. It is a thorough investigation of every item, dollar amount and
disclosure which appear in financial statement.
• CPA’s express their their opinion fairness of financial statement which is known as
auditor’s repots.
19. Setting new Accounting Standards
• To meet the needs of the entire economic community, the FASB invites all elements of
the community to express their views during the standard setting process. For
example

ii. Exposure Draft
iii. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

understand the nature of that activity
23. Ethical Conduct in the Accounting Profession
Ethics relating to the practice of accounting
• Accountants have unique ethical responsibilities

30. A Closer Look at Some Key Concepts
Independence
• Auditors must be independent of the company issuing the financial statements .By
independent, we mean that the auditor must not be perceived as being under the
company's influence or control or as having any vested interest in the results reported in
the financial statements.
• CPAs take extensive measures to be independent in fact and to appear independent of
their audit clients.
• CPAs must not have any financial interest in a client firm.
• Close relatives of the CPAs not have major investments or hold key managements
positions with a client company.

• A CPAs must not be associated with misleading financial statements, income tax returns, or
other accounting reports. If a client insists upon preparing an accounting document in a
misleading manner, the CPA must resign from the engagement.
Confidentiality

trust that professional not to misuse the information.
• If CPAs are to earn the trust and respect of their clients, they should not disclose sensitive
information to the company's competitors or to other outsiders, or use that information for
the CPAs personal gain.
32. IMA Standards of Ethical Conduct For Management
Accountants
The IMA is an association consisting primarily of management accountants that is
• The accountants working for one particular organization.
• The members of the IMA have adopted a code of professional ethics designed to assist
management accountants in executing their duties in an ethical and professional manner. The
standards comprising this code are as follows:
Competence:
Management accountants have a responsibility to:
• Maintain an appropriate level of professional competence by ongoing development of their
knowledge and skills.
• Perform their professional duties in accordance with relevant laws, regulations< and technical
standards.
• Prepare complete and clear reports and recommendations after appropriate analysis of relevant
and reliable information.
33. Confidentiality:
Management accountants have a responsibility to:
• Refrain from disclosing confidential information acquired in the course of their work except when
authorized, unless legally obligated to do so.
• Inform subordinates as apparent conflicts of interest and advise all appropriate parties of any
potential conflict.
• Refrain from using or appearing to use confidential information acquired in the course of their
work for unethical or illegal advantages either personally or through third parties.
Integrity:
• Avoid actual or apparent conflicts of interest and advise all appropriate parties of any potential
conflict.
• Refrain from engaging in any activity that would prejudice their ability to carry out their duties
ethically.
• Communicate unfavorable as well as favorable information and professional judgements or
opinions.
34. IMA Standards of Ethical Conduct For Management
Accountants
Objectivity:
• Communicate information fairly and objectively.
• Disclose fully all relevant information that could reasonably be expected to influence an intended
user’s understanding of the reports, comments, and recommendations presented.
Applicability of the IMA’s Code of Ethics:
• Applies to all members of the organization in their role as management accountants.
• All CMA’s (Certified Management Accountants) also agree to abide by this code.
A Closer Look at Some Key Concepts:
• Confidentiality Every organization views much of its internal accounting information as confidential_
that is the information that should not be disclosed to people outside the organization, or even to
many employees inside the organization.
35. IMA Standards of Ethical Conduct For Management
Accountants
What About Independence?
• IMA’s code does not mention the concept of Independence.
• Independence is an ethical concept pertaining only to public accountants engaged in auditing
activities.
• The important distinction between the management accountant and a public accountant is that
the management accountant is an employee of the company for which he or she performs
accounting services.
• The public accountant, on the other hand, is employed by a public accounting firm but provides
accounting services for s variety of different clients.
Resolution of Ethical Conflicts:
• The IMA also makes suggestions to its members on how to resolve ethical conflicts.
• When faced with a significant ethical issue, the member should first follow any established policies
within the employer organization for resolving such issues.
• If the ethical conflicts cannot be resolved after exhausting all levels of internal review.
• The management accountant may have no alternative other than to resign from the organization,
and to submit a memorandum describing the situation to an appropriate level of management.
36. IMA Standards of Ethical Conduct For Management
Accountants
The Challenge of Adhering to a code of Ethics:
• In principle, a professional code of ethics is a good thing.
• Society benefits when professional conduct themselves in an honorable and ethical manner.
• A professional code of ethics provides professionals with some general guidelines in conducting
themselves in an ethical manner.
The Price of Ethical Behavior:
• This is an easier course of action to advocate than to follow.
• Management accountants, interestingly, may have to pay a far greater “price” of ethical conduct
than the public accountants.
Incomplete Information:
• A professional accountant may “suspect” that activities in which he or she is asked to participate
are unethical, but not be sure.
• In most situations, accountants have neither the responsibility nor the right to investigate their
employers or clients.
37. IMA Standards of Ethical Conduct For Management
Accountants
What is the “Ethical” Things to Do?
• Codes of ethics consist of broad general guidelines, intended to be useful to practitioners in
identifying and resolving ethical problems.
• Every “ethical dilemma” is somewhat unique, having its own facts and circumstances.
• In many situations, however, the ethical course of action is not readily apparent.
• Codes of ethics, including the “official interpretations,” typically do not address such specific
questions.
• In deciding when an ethical problem exist, and in determining what constitutes ethical behavior, the
practitioner must often rely primarily upon his or her own professional judgement.
