2. Read and translate the text: what is accounting?

Accounting is «the language of business ».The acceleration of change in our complex society has contributed to ever-increasing complexities in this «language», which we use in recording and interpreting basic economic data for individuals, businesses, governments, and other entities. Sound decisions, based on reliable information, are essential for the efficient distribution and use of scarce resources. Accounting, therefore, plays a very important role in our economic and social system.

Because of the wide range of accounting activity, there is no concise description of accounting. Accounting is recording, sorting, and summarizing data connected with business transactions and events. Such data have a financial nature and are frequently, but not always, stated in monetary terms. Accounting is also connected with reporting and interpreting the data. Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information which helps the users of the information to make decisions.

Accounting is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information about economic entities. The information, essentially financial in nature, is provided by reports, known as financial statements. Financial statements are useful in making economic decisions. We use these reports in describing the activities and financial status of different kinds of economic entities. They include hospitals, schools, cities, governmental agencies, and profit-oriented businesses.

The objective of financial statements is to communicate information that is useful for investors, creditors and other users.

Financial statements provide information about:

  • an entity’s economic resources, obligations and equity;

  • changes in an entity’s economic resources, obligations and equity; and

  • the economic performance of the entity.

Governmental units use accounting information in regulating businesses and collecting taxes.
