A Romantic Accountant

Posted by admin on September 28th, 2010 and filed under Accounting | No Comments »

I know that my title is a oxymoron. There is no such thing as a romantic accountant unless you count explaining a balance spreadsheet romantic. Well, most people don’t especially your wife. Here is a tip for my fellow accountants. Do something unexpected that is not on a day that it is expected. For example, leave work early get the kids and pick up dinner. Then, top it of with washing the dishes and running a hot bath after the children are in the bed. Women like knowing that they are priority and that occasional you put her needs first and not work. P.S. Don’t expect anything in return that day and tomorrow will definitely be your day! eharmony

Basic Principles of the GAAP Procedure of Financia

Posted by admin on September 25th, 2010 and filed under Accounting | No Comments »

If every person involved in the practice of accounting implemented their own system, or no system at all, there’d be no way to truly tell whether a firm was profitable or not. Because of this most businesses now use a common set of accounting principles, which are called generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP for short. Everyone can assume that a company has used the GAAP system unless they specifically state otherwise. If GAAP are not the principles used for preparing financial statements, then a business needs to make clear which other form of accounting they’re used and are bound to avoid using titles in its financial statements that could mislead the person examining it. Most accountants consider GAAP the gold standard for financial statements and summaries. Not disclosing that it has used principles other than GAAP makes a company legally liable for any misleading or misunderstood data. These principles have been fine-tuned over decades and have effectively governed accounting methods and the financial reporting systems of businesses. Diverse rules have been founded for different types of business entities, such for-profit and not-for-profit companies, governments and other enterprises.
