Students will review and respond to at least one other student’s Voice Threads, keeping interaction positive, professional and constructive. Now that we’ve begun our accounting senior project course, looking back over all of your accounting coursework in previous classes, you’ve received a good background on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) along with an understanding of how these accounting standards are applied in the United States. At this point, you know that the rules of GAAP are based upon a foundation of many assumptions, principles, and constraints. To begin our postings for the week in this discussion, select any one of these accounting assumptions, principles, or constraints (e.g., cost principle, economic entity assumption, going concern assumption, materiality constraint, full disclosure principle, periodicity assumption, etc.), do a bit of research and explain the concept to us, and also tell us why you believe it’s so important to GAAP. Later in the week, after we’ve exhausted a discussion of these accounting assumptions, principles, and constraints, we’ll move on to address a related aspect of GAAP: the roles of various organizations, including the SEC, FASB, and PCAOB.

One of your college friends, a computer information systems major, has been telling you that she believes a certain publicly held technology company is going to make a lot of money and ought to be a great investment, but she admits this is just based on her perspective of one of the company’s software products that’s been on the market for a couple of years. As an accounting major, you explain to her that no one has a crystal ball to accurately predict the future of a company with absolute certainty. However, to complement her qualitative view of this company’s value, you agree to quickly put together a more quantitative analysis based on the firm’s recent financial performance. To get us started in this discussion, for your first post, please explain in detail just one of the things you would analyze or look at to assess this company, and be sure to thoroughly articulate your thoughts and approach in terms that your friend, a CIS major, will understand. As the week progresses and we add more comments with additional suggestions from everyone in the class, we’ll build a good list of analytical techniques and assessment methodologies into our discussion so we can later compare and contrast the relative value of all the different ideas posted.

Of course, as the department supervisor, she is still the one who’s ultimately responsible for approving and executing this budget. However, because she’s so busy managing many departmental issues, she’s specifically delegating to you the legwork involved in composing this budget. Your supervisor is requiring you to submit your first draft of

What specific challenges might you face in this process, and how would you address each of them? Feel free to begin your postings for this week by addressing any one or more of these questions. As the week progresses and we accumulate more comments from everyone in the class, we’ll be able to compare all of the ideas and suggestions to further discuss what might be the most workable approach to building a sensible, credible budget for a department. Finally, near the end of the week, we’ll further extend the discussion by asking you to add your thoughts on how drafting a budget for your own small business might differ from the process of budgeting for a single department within a larger organization.
