Abstract

It has become commonplace to refer to accounting as the language of business. This analogy is usually made to emphasize that accounting is, in part, a communication process. As a language, accounting attempts to communicate financial information about the business environment to interested parties. The receivers of accounting information can be classified into one of two broad groups: managers of business firms and parties outside of the firm. The problems involved in reporting to the two different groups are in many ways almost unrelated to each other.
