E- THE MAIN USERS OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATIONS

‫المستخدمون الرئيسيون للبيانات المحاسبية‬

There are many potential users of accounting information,

including shareholders, lenders, customers, suppliers, government
departments, employees and their organizations, and society at large
significant. Anyone with an interest in the performance and activities of a
company is traditionally called a stakeholder (‫)مالك حصة‬.

For a business or organization to communicate its results and

position to stakeholders, it needs a language that is understood by all in
common. Hence, accounting has come to be known as the "language of
business".

The different users of accounting information can be classified as

follow:-

 Shareholders ‫المساهمين‬
 Investors ‫المستثمرين‬
 Creditors ‫الدائنين‬
 Government ‫الحكومة‬
 Labors ‫العاملين‬
 Researchers ‫الباحثين‬
 Management (Administration) ‫اإلدارة‬
 Other Groups ‫مجموعات أخرى‬

The Users of Accounting Information can be explained as follow:

(1) Shareholders ‫المساهمين‬

The shareholders, in the company, are interested to know the
results of operations of the company through the annual financial position
statements showing the profit earned or loss suffered and the assets and
liabilities.

18
Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

(2) Investors ‫المستثمرين‬

Those who are interested in buying the shares in a company, and
advancing money to the company are also naturally interested in the
financial statements to know how safe the investment already made is,
and how safe the proposed investment will be.

(3) Creditors ‫الدائنين‬

A number of suppliers make supplies on credit; they would like to
be satisfied that they will be paid in time. The financial statements greatly
help them in properly assessing property and the capability of the firm or
payment.

(4) Government ‫الحكومة‬

All the Governments in the worlds are using financial statements
for compiling statistics concerning business. The statements are of great
importance for ascertaining the income tax payment.

(5) Labor ‫العاملين‬

Workers are entitled for payment of bonus (‫اإلضافي‬،‫)المكافأة‬, which
depends on the size of profit earned. Therefore, they would like to be
satisfied that the bonus being paid to them is correct. They are much
interested in knowing the profit earned or loss suffered by the firm. This
knowledge helps them in asking for their revision of their wages which
need improvement.

(6) Researchers ‫الباحثين‬

The financial statements, being a mirror of business conditions,
these statements are, therefore, of great interest to scholars undertaking
research in accounting theory as well as business affairs and practices.

(7) Management (Administration) ‫اإلدارة‬

Management, collectively, is the people who have overall responsibility
for operating a business and for meeting its profitability goals.Succefully

19
Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

management consistently make the right decisions based on timely and

valid information.

(8) Other Groups ‫مجموعات أخرى‬

of preparing for contract negotiations.
 Financial analysts and advisers, brokers, underwriters, lawyers,
economists and the financial press, also have an indirect interest in
the financial performance and prospects of a business.
 Consumer groups, customers, and the general public have become
more concerned about the financing and earnings of corporations
as well as the effects that corporations have inflation, the
environment, social problems, and the quality of life.

Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

1- Accounting Concepts (Assumptions) ‫الفروض المحاسبية‬

Accounting concepts refer to the nature of economic environment

in which accounting operates. The most significant of these concepts
(assumptions) are:

(1) Accounting entity concept ‫مفهوم الوحدة المحاسبية‬

(2) Going – concern concept ‫مفهوم االستمرارية‬

(3) Monetary unit concept ‫مفهوم وحدة القياس‬

(4) Periodicity concept ‫مفهوم الدورية‬

(5) Double entry concept ‫مفهوم القيد المزدوج‬

Those concepts are essential to the understanding of accounting

principles and distinguish between the assumptions and principles.

(1) Accounting entity ‫الوحدة المحاسبية‬

Accounting entities are separate economic units that control

resources and obligations and that have separate and distinct records.

Also the economic entity can be defined as any legal or unit

accounting that has control over resources, accepts responsibilities for
making and carrying out commitments, and conducts economic activity,
such a corporation or a consolidated group.

For accounting purposes, every business is conceived to be and

treated as a separate entity, separate and distinct from its owner and from
every other business.

(2) Going Concern (continuity) concept ‫مفهوم االستمرارية‬

This concept assumes that a particular business will continue in

existence for a long enough period of time to carry out its objectives and
commitments (the life is indefinite).

22
Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

(3) Monetary Unit Concept ‫مفهوم الوحدة النقدية‬

The monetary unit of a country means that the money is used

to measure the asset)‫ (الموجودات‬, liabilities )‫ (المطلوبات‬, and owner’s equity
(‫)حقوق الملكية‬and to measure the changes that occur in them as a result of
these changes, the net income of accounting entity is measured and
determined for a specific period of time.

Stable monetary unit concept means that purchasing power ( ‫القوة‬

‫ )الشرائية‬of the unit of measure used in accounting does not change; this
concept is not practically accepted since the accounting information
provided is not represented the economic reality (‫)الحقيقة االقتصادية‬.

(4) Periodicity concept ‫مفهوم الدورية‬

The Periodicity concept assume that the business has an indefinite

life .The measurement of the firm’s financial condition and operations
must be made a relatively short intervals such as quarterly or yearly.

The life of a firm is divided into period’s equal length, such as a

month, three months, or a year; annual accounting periods are the most
common.

Under this assumption, the accounting periods with equal length

allow for comparison of expenses, revenues and income earned by the
firm in one period with the same in another period.

(5) Double Entry concept ‫مفهوم القيد المزدوج‬

Double entry means that all transactions are recorded in two

accounts, the first is debit and the second is credit.

2- Accounting principles ‫المبادئ المحاسبية‬

Accounting principles are broad rules (‫ )قواعد واضحة‬adopted by

the accounting profession as guides for use in recording and reporting the

23
Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

financial affairs and activities of a business to its owners, investors,

creditors, and other outsiders.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) ‫المبادئ‬

‫ المحاسبية المقبولة قبوال عاما‬refers to conventions, rules, and procedures
necessary to define accepted accounting practice at a particular time.
Accounting principles are the following:

(1) Historical cost principle ‫مبدأ التكلفة التاريخية‬

The assets are recorded at their acquisition cost and are usually
not adjusted for increases in value until a sale has occurred. The
accounting rule requires assets and services plus any resulting liability to
be taken into the accounting record at cost.

(2) Matching principle ‫مبدأ المقابلة‬

The expenses must be recorded against the revenues earned

during the period. Thus, expenses of the period are matched against the
revenues of the same period, and the result is net income or loss for the
period.

The accounting rule shows that all expenses incurred in earning

revenues are deducted from the revenues for determining the net income.

(3) Revenue recognition principle ‫مبدأ تحقق اإليراد‬

Revenue is recognized for accounting purposes when it is

realized. For the vast majority of firms revenue is realized when the sale
occurs.

The accounting rule defines revenue as an inflow of assets, not

necessarily cash, in exchange of goods and services and requires the
revenue to be recognized at the time, but not before, it is earned.

(4) Full disclosure principle ‫مبدأ اإلفصاح التام‬

All information that can be useful to informed decision makers

must be disclosed. All material information should be disclosed in the
financial statements to make these statements clear and understandable to
the readers of these statements.

24
Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

(5) Objectivity principle ‫مبدأ الموضوعية‬

The accounting rule requiring that wherever possible the amounts

used in recording transactions based on objective evidence (for example:
sales invoice) rather than subjective judgments.

3- Accounting Constraints ‫المحددات (القيود) المحاسبية‬

(1) Materiality ‫األهمية النسبية‬

The Materiel information must be given more attention than

immaterial. Immaterial items should be combined with other items.
Materiality relates to an item’s impact (‫ )يؤثر‬on a firm’s overall
financial condition and operations. An item is material when it is likely to
influence the decision of reasonably prudent investor or creditor.

(2) Conservatism (Prudence) ‫الحيطة والحذر أو التحفظ‬

The accountants should be conservative in their estimates )‫(تقديرات‬

and opinions and in their selection procedures, choosing those that neither
understate nor overstate situation. For example, the accountant takes in
compute the future expenses or losses, and another side he ignores the
future revenues or profits.
Conservatism means when in doubt choose the solution that will be
least likely to overstate assets and income.
‫التحفظ (الحيطة والحذر) يعني بأنه عند تولد أي شك فانه يجب اختيار ذلك الحل الذي ال يغالي‬
.‫في تقدير األصول والدخل‬

(3) Consistency ‫االتساق أو الثبات‬

The consistency means that once an accounting method used

must not be changed from period to period. This convention (‫ )تقليد‬is
necessary used for doing proper comparisons.

(4) Cost and Benefit ‫التكلفة والمنفعة‬

All the accounting information must be established according to its

cost and their future benefits.

25
Accounting Readings …………..Chapter (1): The conceptual Framework of Accounting

Cost-Benefit Relationship means that the cost of providing the

information must be weighed against the benefits that can be derived
from using the information.
‫عالقة التكلفة والمنفعة تعني بأنه يجب موازنة تكلفة تزويد المعلومات بالمنفعة المترتبة على‬
.‫استخدامها‬

(5) Industry Practices ‫الممارسات الصناعية‬

Industry Practices means the peculiar nature of some industries and

business concerns sometimes requires departure from basic theory.
.‫محددات الصناعة تعني بان طبيعة بعض الصناعات والتجارة تجعلها تحيد عن النظرية العامة‬
