About Accounting & Accounting Tutoring

Accounting is a systematic and comprehensive recording of financial transactions pertaining to a business. It involves the process of summarizing, analyzing, and reporting these transactions to oversight agencies, regulators, and tax collection entities. The financial statements that summarize a company's operations, financial position, and cash flows over a particular period are a precise representation of the accounting process.

There are several types of accounting, each serving a different purpose and catering to different stakeholders:

  • Financial Accounting: This type records and summarizes financial data presented in financial statements – like income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements – that reflect the company's performance to external stakeholders.

  • Management Accounting: This type focuses on measuring, analyzing, and reporting financial and non-financial information that helps managers make decisions to fulfill organizational goals.

  • Governmental Accounting: This type ensures that revenues and expenditures are made according to the law and regulations, providing transparency and accountability in governmental entities.

  • Tax Accounting: This specialization is dictated by the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the specific rules that companies and individuals must follow when preparing their tax returns.

  • Forensic Accounting: This field involves examining financial records in order to uncover potential fraud, embezzlement, or financial misconduct.

Related entities in accounting include regulatory bodies such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which establishes accounting standards in the United States. There are also international bodies like the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), responsible for the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a critical agency in tax accounting.

When tutoring someone who struggles with accounting, the best strategy is to connect concepts with real-world scenarios to make the material more relevant and easier to understand. Starting with the foundational elements such as the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) can set the stage for understanding how other concepts interrelate. Encouraging active practice through problem-solving and the usage of accounting software can also reinforce learning. It's crucial to be patient and to break down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable parts.

The most common concepts in accounting include:

  • Debits and Credits: The dual entry system that ensures the accounting equation stays balanced.
  • The Accounting Cycle: The full process of recording and processing all financial transactions of a company, from when the transaction occurs, to its representation on the financial statements.
  • Journal Entries: The first step in the accounting cycle, this is where transactions are initially recorded.

Among the most difficult concepts are:

  • Understanding and applying the principles of accrual accounting, which recognizes economic events regardless of when cash transactions occur.
  • The process of adjusting entries to account for income and expenses that have accrued but are not accurately represented in real-time financial statements.
  • Comprehending complex financial instruments and how to report them, as in hedge accounting or derivatives.

Overall, mastery of accounting requires attention to detail, a clear understanding of key principles and concepts, and the ability to see the broader financial picture that those details create.
