Accounting is a formal system of collecting, organizing and reporting financial data that are used in making economic decisions. The users of these data include corporate shareholders, lenders, management, employees, taxing and regulatory agencies, research organizations, and many others. The data shed light on current financial status and liquidity, as well as past profitability and funds-generating capability.


Many different types of economic decisions require accounting data. One major use of accounting data is to inform outsiders (interested people who do not have direct access to corporate records) of the economic status and progress of the firm. These reports follow a body of accounting methodology called generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). By contrast, the management of the firm requires data that will aid in controlling operations and in evaluating the performance of subordinates. Outside agencies often collect accounting data in a variety of pre-specified forms. These data are used for tax collection and various other social and economic policy purposes
