Question 1
Evaluate the statement “Accounting is all about numbers.” Using the definition of accounting to justify your answer.
Ans –
Accounting is not all about numbers. Accounting is defined as the process of identifying, measuring, recording and communicating economic information to assist users of the information in making informed economic decisions. Accounting is an art which has numbers as its one of the characters.
It is an art in which the first stage of identification involves basic and important knowledge of the company and its processes to identify an economic event useful for accounting. The next step involves using various judgements and measuring techniques to measure the economic event. The next involves recording of those events by properly categorising them and then communicating them to the users in a proper manner in the form of financial statements.
Thus Accounting is more than just numbers.
