In the 1970’s the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) articulated three objectives of financial reporting. In summary, financial information should (1) be useful to investors and lenders, (2) be helpful in determining a company’s cash flows, and (3) report the company’s assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity and the changes in them.

"AccountingCoach is a simply fantastic self learning source. The way it explains various accounting concepts in such a simple and self explanatory manner is really commendable. Being an engineering student with no past accounting background, AccountingCoach has been a great saviour in my MBA accounting module. The Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Income Statement all have been explained very beautifully. Thank you AccountingCoach. Keep up the good work." - Amber A.
