1. Understand the financial reporting environment. Accounting provides reliable, relevant, and
timely information to managers, investors, and creditors so that resources are allocated to the most
efficient enterprises. Accounting also provides measurements of efficiency (profitability) and
financial soundness. Investors, creditors, management, securities commissions, stock exchanges,
analysts, credit rating agencies, auditors, and standard setters are some of the major stakeholders.
Illustration 1-4 explains what is at stake for each one. The objective of financial reporting is to
communicate information that is useful to key decision makers such as investors and creditors in
making resource allocation decisions (including assessing management stewardship) about the
resources and claims to resources of an entity and how these are changing. Ideally, all stakeholders
should have access to the same information in order to ensure that good decisions are made in the
capital marketplace. (This is known as information symmetry.) However, this is not the case—there
is often information asymmetry. Of necessity, management has access to more information so that
it can run the company. It must also make sure that it does not give away information that might
harm the company, such as in a lawsuit where disclosure might cause the company to lose. Aside
from this, information asymmetry exists because of management bias whereby management acts in
its own self-interest, such as wanting to maximize management bonuses. This is known as moral
hazard in accounting theory. Information asymmetry causes markets to be less efficient. It may
cause stock prices to be discounted or costs of capital to increase. In addition, it might detract good
companies from raising capital in the particular market where relevant information is not available
(referred to as adverse selection in accounting theory). The efficient markets hypothesis is felt to
exist only in a semi-strong form, meaning that only publicly available information is assimilated
into stock prices.
