Preface

O
ne of our objectives in writing this book is to help students become skilled preparers
and informed consumers of financial statement information. The financial reporting
environment today is particularly challenging. Accountants, auditors, and financial
analysts must not only know the reporting practices that apply in the United States (U.S.
GAAP), they must also be aware of the practices allowed in other countries under
­International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We believe it is essential for students to
comprehend the key similarities and differences between current U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
The challenge is compounded by two major changes in accounting standards—for leasing and
revenue recognition. The new leasing standard is a break from recent convergence efforts by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB). While the FASB preserved the notion of a dual model for leases, albeit with major
changes to one of the models, the IASB moved to a single model. As a result, for some companies,
financial statements will look substantially different under U.S. GAAP than they would under
IFRS. The new revenue recognition standard, in contrast, is substantially converged, but it will still
challenge students and faculty alike to consider the question of when to recognize revenue under a
completely different framework than they have in the past. We discuss both of these new standards
in depth in the Seventh edition.
Our other objective in writing this book is to change the way the second-level course in
financial accounting is taught, both to graduate and undergraduate students. Typically this
course—often called Intermediate Accounting or Corporate Financial Reporting—focuses on
the details of GAAP with little emphasis placed on understanding the economics of business
transactions or how financial statement readers use the resultant numbers for decision making.
Traditional accounting texts are encyclopedic in nature and approach, lack a unifying theme,
and emphasize the myriad of intricate accounting rules and procedures that could soon become
outdated by new standards.
In contrast, we wrote Financial Reporting & Analysis, Seventh Edition, to foster a “critical
thinking” approach to learning the subject matter. Our approach develops students’ understand-
ing of the environment in which financial reporting choices are made, what the options are,
how accounting information is used for various types of decisions, and how to avoid misusing
financial statement data. We convey the exciting nature of financial reporting in two stages.
First, we provide a framework for understanding management’s accounting choices, the effect
those choices have on the reported numbers, and how financial statement information is used in
valuation and contracting. Business contracts, such as loan agreements and management com-
pensation agreements, are often linked to accounting numbers. We show how this practice cre-
ates incentives for managers to exploit the flexibility in financial reporting standards to
“manage” the reported accounting numbers to benefit themselves or shareholders. Second, we
integrate current real-world financial statements and events into our discussions to illustrate
vividly how financial statements affect contracts and reveal the financial health of a firm. To
prepare students for future business and accounting challenges, we focus on fundamental mea-
surement and reporting issues surrounding business transactions.
An important feature of our approach is that it integrates the perspectives of accounting,
corporate finance, economics, and critical analysis to help students grasp how business transac-
tions get reported and understand the decision implications of financial statement numbers. We
cover all of the core topics of intermediate accounting as well as several topics often found in
vii
viii Preface

advanced accounting courses, such as consolidations, joint venture accounting, and foreign cur-
rency translation. For each topic, we describe the underlying business transaction, the GAAP
guidelines that apply, how the guidelines are implemented in practice, and how the financial
statements are affected. We then go a step further and ask: What do the reported numbers mean?
Does the accounting process yield numbers that faithfully present the underlying economic situ-
ation of a company? And, if not, what can financial statement users do to overcome this limita-
tion in order to make more informed decisions? A Global Vantage Point discussion then
summarizes the key similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and previews
potential changes to both.
Our book is ideal for professionals who use financial statements for making decisions. Our
definition of financial statement “users” is broad and includes lenders, equity analysts, invest-
ment bankers, boards of directors, and others charged with monitoring corporate performance
and the behavior of management. As such, it includes auditors who establish audit scope and
conduct analytical review procedures to spot problem areas in external financial statements. To
be effective, auditors must understand the incentives of managers, how the flexibility of U.S.
GAAP and IFRS accounting guidance can be exploited to conceal rather than reveal underlying
economics, and the potential danger signals that should be investigated. Our intent is to help
financial statement readers learn how to perform better audits, improve cash flow forecasts,
undertake realistic valuations, conduct better comparative analyses, and make more informed
evaluations of management.
Financial Reporting & Analysis, Seventh Edition, provides instructors with a teaching/learning
approach for achieving goals stressed by professional accountants and analysts. Our book is
designed to instill capacities for thinking in an abstract, logical manner; solving unstructured prob-
lems; understanding the determining forces behind management accounting choices; and instilling
an integrated, cross-disciplinary view of financial reporting. Text discussions are written, and exer-
cises, problems, and cases are carefully chosen, to help achieve these objectives without sacrificing
technical underpinnings. Throughout the book, we explain in detail the source of the numbers, the
measurement methods used, and how transactions are recorded and presented. We have strived to
provide a comprehensive user-oriented focus while simultaneously helping students build a strong
technical foundation.

Key Changes in the Seventh Edition

The first six editions of our book have been widely adopted in business schools throughout the
United States, Canada, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. Our book has been used successfully at both
the graduate and undergraduate levels, and in investment banking, commercial lending, and other
corporate training programs. Many of our colleagues who used the first six editions have provided
us with valuable feedback. Based on their input, we have made a number of changes in this edition
of the book to achieve more effectively the objectives outlined above.
Key changes ­include the following:
∙ Complete rewrite of Chapter 3 for the new revenue recognition standard.
∙ Complete rewrite of Chapter 12 for the new leasing standard.
∙ Expanded coverage of analysis and income taxes throughout the text.
∙ New end-of-book appendix on Segment Reporting.
∙ New or updated company examples throughout the book.
∙ New and revised end-of-chapter materials including exercises, problems, and cases tied to
Global Vantage Point sections and new FASB and IASB standards.
∙ Updated Global Vantage Point sections
∙ Identify key differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
∙ Discuss financial statement excerpts of companies that follow IFRS.
∙ Summarize proposed new accounting standards issued by the FASB and/or the IASB.
∙ Incorporation of all FASB and IASB standards, exposure drafts, and discussion papers
released through August 2016.

INCOME STATEMENT FORMAT AND CLASSIFICATION

Virtually all decision models in modern corporate finance are based on expected future cash
flows. Recognizing this, the FASB stated:
xiii
Thus, financial reporting should provide information to help investors, creditors, and others assess
the amounts, timing, and uncertainty of prospective net cash inflows to the related enterprise.5

One way to provide users with information about prospective future cash flows would be to
present them with cash flow forecasts prepared by management. However, financial reporting
focuses on historical information, not forecasts, because forecasts of such numbers are consid-
ered to be too “soft”—that is, too speculative or manipulable.
Instead, financial reporting seeks to satisfy users’ needs for assessing future cash flows by
providing financial information based on past and current events in a format that gives finan-

"The rebellion is over, Kate. The King himself, as I have said, gave it
the death-blow. Before I left the Palace, the people had thrown
down their arms to a man, and all London is ringing on every hand
with the cry 'God save the King!'"
"Thank God!" she said, "for the King's sake and the people's. But
hush, Max! What is that shouting in the street? It is coming nearer.
Pray God the rioting has not broken out again."
"I have no fear of that," I said. "But come, dear, let us see."
Together we walked to the window. The shouting and cheering in
the street were terrific, but this was no disloyal mob—these were no
revolutionaries. They were cheering a gentleman who, unattended,
and without escort, was riding slowly by in an open carriage.
"It is the King!" Kate gasped.
"Yes," I said. "It is the kingliest ruler, the bravest man, the truest
gentleman in Christendom!"
And raising the window, she and I stepped out hand in hand upon
the balcony, to join in the jubilation and welcome that rose from a
thousand throats in a roar louder than the roar of the central seas.
"The King! God bless him!"
"The King! The King! The King!"
"God save the King!"

these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it
in the United States without permission and without paying
copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of
Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™
concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following
the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use
of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything
for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is
very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as
creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research.
Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given
away—you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with
eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject
to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for

the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH
1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK
OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or
entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or
any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
