Download or read book Financial Accounting Theory written by IntroBooks and published by IntroBooks. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial accounting, commonly known in daily verbatim as ‘book keeping’, is one of the oldest practices integral of business management. Financial accounting is officially dated to the medieval ages when one of the first banking houses and groups gained importance towards the public and in commercial fields. The first bankers wanted an organised approach towards maintaining set references that would act as formally laid records for them, to be referred in the future or present, and were meant to keep in touch of the financial situation of the business. However, historically accounting methods go back to ancient times when prestigious records were required to be maintained. Financial accounting is so important that nearly every management institute in the world compulsorily trains its students about it, teaching core principles and why it is important to develop a record keeping habit not just in the industry but personally as well. When seen from a personal point of view too, financial accounting can lend much support to one’s own finances. In our modern times, we see a number of apps and software on mobiles and computers specifically intended to maintain a record of our personal record. In its conceptual entirety, maintaining personal finances itself constitutes one of the practical forms of financial accounting.

Download or read book Financial Accounting Theory written by Niuosha Samani and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides the reader with a broad overview of research and the conceptual reasoning behind financial reporting. We adopt the perspective that financial accounting theory can be summarized as the quest for answers to two fundamental questions: What characterizes high-quality accounting? and What are the determinants and consequences of high-quality accounting? The book contains a discussion of how the above questions relate to: current accounting standards (such as IFRS and its Conceptual Framework), theories in economics, finance and other disciplines, evidence from empirical accounting research, and, the role that accounting plays in bridging the information gap between firms and financial statement users in capital markets. We cover a range of topics associated with accounting quality definitions, determinants and consequences. These include earnings and disclosure quality, accounting standards, the institutional environment, corporate governance, and managerial incentives. The usefulness of accounting, both for valuation and stewardship purposes, is discussed. The book is designed for graduate students in accounting and finance. It is an excellent introduction to accounting research for Master and PhD students when they write their thesis or dissertation. It is also useful for researchers who want an overview of current research and for practitioners wanting insight into the current state of knowledge about financial reporting."
