Assessment 1
Part 1
A. Decision-makers and need for accounting information
The descriptions and review of all statistical details require financial reports in such a way that it
could be recorded in the journal. Such effects are very useful for predictive analytics. Efficient
choices from purchasing to service quality determine the potential opportunity (Viriyasitavat and
Hoonsopon, 2019). The multiple company executives take all actions on the recruitment and
firing of employees, the creation of the benefit target, the preparation of current events and
expenditures, the use of technologies for separate production activities, etc. A corporation's
choice leadership is based on its management mechanisms, which are controlled by the advisory
board or the chairmen. These tasks are then assigned to the management team, together with the
approval needed for them to be executed.
In analytical words, financial statements get the necessary business statistics, making it easier for
leadership and analysts to make critical choices. Capabilities are defined are prepared in
compliance with specific frameworks and procedures that are common from across sector
(Hamilton, 2020). It allows them equivalent to many other rivals who by strategic objectives
realize their market standing. Annual statements also offer a framework for executives to
determine whether or not it should variety a strength distribution achievable and monetarily
feasible. In actual market conditions, forecasts and estimates also rely on positive business
financial information. Only is traditional monetary applicable because it enables association on
its own but it also procedures the foundation for the removing of valued information from non-
financial records.

B. Advantages and disadvantages of accounting for a business
Accounting monitors and reviews the financial reports of a major company on the grounds of the
essence of the regulation. Benefits and risks related to the handling of financial records are as
shown in:
Advantages:
 Decision-making - The executive committee wants statistics and business decision-
making. Account books have a role to play in the company (Zhang, Wang and Zhu,
2019). It delivers intelligences on the business's cash streams as well as many other
expenditure and transactions, allowing forecasting operating deficits or deficits in a
reasonable time. It also purposes to deliver mistake and accountability that can
discourage and recognize fraud.
 Proof in legal proceedings - Bookkeeping archives help as an operative background for
the main monetary contract specified confidential. After any difference happens, it will
then performance as lawful resistant beforehand the judgements. Enterprises must have
archives in the arrangement agreed in the Rule but after consuming been studied by
autonomous auditors, send them to the Recordkeeping.
Disadvantages:
 Records just financial factors - among the effective important limitations of revenue
recognition is that this implements to managing of money transfers, like consumer
conditions, political environment, legal and controlling rubrics, etc., have significant
analysis for business practices. They are not recorded in financial accounts and have an
erroneous picture during effective decision making.
 Historical nature - Amounts are listed in individual spending accounts and price shifts
are not taken into consideration. This helps financial documents of historical value in the
books of accounts (Mola, Microsoft Technology Licensing LLC, 2019). These
documents are then regarded as a prerequisite for predicting future outcomes. It loses the
period value of resources and the changes that come with that as well; making projections

dependent on historical costs do not necessarily have the best basis for predicting events
in the future.
