Introduction
Accounting entails monitoring, categorising, revising and displaying money transfers by an
entity. These documents and the results collected from each other just provide basis for
evaluating financial reports and the position of the company (Bansal and Sunkara, AppDynamics
LLC, 2015). This assessment affects the processing of tax reports by separate entities and the
development of trial notes and revenue statements. Benefits and limitations are specified in
manufacturing corporations' taxation. The effect on business earnings of Covid-19 is also
addressed.
MAIN BODY
ASSESSMENT 1
PART 1
(a) Who are the decision makers referred to in the above definition and explain their need for
accounting information.
Manager- Executives are also asked to take steps so that conflicts can be addressed.
Decision-making and problem-solving require ongoing processes in which situations or
concerns are analyzed, options discussed, decisions taken and necessary measures taken
(Hyoseok and Shinde, Rakuten Inc, 2016). The method of decision-making is always
very brief and the cognitive analysis is almost instantaneous. In certain cases, the
procedure can take weeks or months. The whole judgment process depends on the best
information available to the relevant individual at the right time. Managers take crucial
decisions pertaining to multiple kinds of aspects in the sense of the above business.
Role of accounting information- Management Accounting Reporting is designed to help
the firm's administrators, while accumulation research is directed at providing non-
organizational parties with financial data.

Owner- In order to take corrective decisions, the company owner often plays a crucial
role. Key firms usually guide the judgment method, work closely with additional owners,
fix challenges, delegate assignments to other members or team leaders (if required),
complete the task, have the final approval authority (if / when used) and are generally
accountable for the success of the different components. Tesco plc's owner plays a crucial
part in decision-making. They analyze key accounting data.
Role of accounting information- Accounting offers significant financial information of
relevance to decision-making for management and other stakeholders. Assessment of the
function of the owner in preserving and managing the organization's profits. Decide
whether company money is lent or invested.
(b) Identify and explain the advantages and disadvantages of any two for profit business
structures which an accountant may encounter.
Accounting- Accounting is the system of reporting of cash activities involved with
companies. The reporting protocol demands that these operations be summarized,
checked and reported to supervisory authorities, authorities and tax collectors (Ellis,
Onstream Media Corp, 2016). The profit corporation describes some benefits and
drawbacks below:
Benefits:
Full and Systematic Record- Accounting relies on generally accepted norms and on the
empirical means by which accounts represent corporate transactions. For example, all
corporate operations are periodically and thoroughly registered. As any sale can be
reported and evaluated by the same means, the human limitations that cannot be taken
into consideration in all transactions are overcome by reporting.
Helps to collect loans- Business must have sufficient capital for further expansion.
Occasionally, because of the shortage of capital, the organization could not do well. In
such situations, by taking loans from other institutions such as banks, more funds may be
collected. These commercial banks offer loans on the basis of the business entity's

feasibility and legitimacy. The Exchange and Profit & Expense Report and cash balances,
the final analyses of financial documents, will measure the productivity and authenticity.
Accounting relies on generally accepted conventions and the empirical means by which
books represent corporate activities. For example, all business operations are periodically
and thoroughly recorded. As any sale can be reported and evaluated by the same process,
the human limitations that cannot be taken into consideration in all transactions are
overcome by accounting (Gordon, 2015).
Drawbacks:
The Accounting Process develops and submits many solutions to solve a concern prior to
administration. The director can select any choice from the many options that are
available, and even drop them all. Consequently, accounting should only provide data
and no interference is prescribed.
Preference to Logical Decision Making- Analytical decisions can be taken with the help
of accounting methods. Often accounting firms and senior managers, however, favor
prior judgment expertise and insight. This is because taking an intuitive decision is
genuinely transparent and easy.
One of the most significant limitations of accounting practices is that it only applies to
corporate level of compliance (Levin and Light, 2015). Multiple options, including such
business conditions, political climate, regulatory and regulatory rules, etc., have significant
implications for industry practices. They are not mentioned in financial information and
have an inaccurate reputation when making solid business decisions.

B. Possible impact of Covid-19 on Income statements
The global effects of CoVIDE-19 (Corona virus), which in fact seems to have such a deeply
detrimental effect on persons, families, businesses and regimes, that everyone needs to know
what their empirical analysis is about (Trigo, Belfo and Estébanez, 2016). The influence of
Covid-19 on all facets of society that may include social, financial or regional issues and which
in any individual states may take time and cost to function normally. As we talk, the outbreak is
rising and we are in such an area where we do not know how deep they are likely to go. Some
objects which are influenced by COVID are listed below:
Lack of revenue-This can be seen in the previous argument where there is less sales value
relative to expenditures. This is attributed to the detrimental effect of COVID 19 on the revenues
of businesses.
Higher returns- Owing to lack of quality, there are larger numbers of items returned by
consumers. This reveals COVID's negative effect.
Higher pay-The wages are 32,000 pounds, which means that this sum was charged by the
business from its profits which contributes to poorer output.
