Thus accounting data processed by the accounting cycle produces accounting information. Data is collected, recorded, classified, grouped, valued, tabulated, arranged, summarized in order to present the same in the form of information for its use by the users to enable them to take decisions.
Accounting data Consists of financial transactions and events relating to an entity for the accounting period supported by documentary evidence (vouchers). For example receipts and payments are documented by payee's receipt purchases by invoice, sales by outwards invoice, returns inwards by credit note; returns outwards by debit note; expenses by bills or payment rolls etc.
Thus the first and the most important function of accounting is to collect the data supported by the vouchers to ensure the authenticity of the same. Accounting processes consist of recording in the books of original entry (journal or sub- journals); classifying (posting into ledger) grouping (putting transactions of similar nature at one place in one account) valuing (finding the value at year end by balancing or valuing) tabulating (preparing list of balances and checking arithmetical accuracy) and preparing financial statements (Trading and Profit and loss account; Balance Sheet) in report form to communicate the information.
Now-a-days computer accounting software can manage this task very efficient in a matter of short time. Accounting information is presented mostly in the form of financial statements like Income statement (Trading and Profit & Loss account) Position statement (Balance sheet). Now-a-days statement of changes in financial position; value added statement; report on Human resources accounting; Social performance report etc. form part of accounting information

3. Is in raw-form and is the input of accounting.
4. Cannot be understood or made use of by the users.
5. It does not depend upon information.
Information

What do I mean by that question? Well you have heard the expression to think outside the BOX, well some individuals just are not there yet. They are comfortable inside the BOX. There is nothing wrong with that idea if that is where you want to stay ( few worries, no challenges, no advancement).If you want your business to succeed you will eventually need to gain knowledge about your targeted audience, your competition, how to get the best return on investment(ROI) on your advertising and marketing dollars, and how to develop those all important circles of friends, influences, and resources.As you gain this data you start to grow your business and the BOX you are in starts to get smaller. You start to bump into the sides, and keep ducking your head so not to pop out into the on coming traffic. Your business all of a sudden stops growing. It reaches its maxi

Those who push paper and demand forms when they are not completely necessary are doing so to their own peril. Unfortunately when the government demands forms they do it to our peril. You see incase you had not noticed FORM is a four letter word and for good reason too. Forms are so often used by bureaucracies, lawyers and stodgy old corporations who are on their way out.The surest way to kill any progress is to stop the process and start making people fill out forms. Bill Gates was able to reduce the number of forms used in his company to only a few, guess what? Microsoft became the biggest corporation in the world after that.If you increase paperwork and bureaucracy you will impede innovation, efficiency and could potentially lose your intended victory. We must avoid forms like the plague if we are to continue the forward progression of our species.If you treat peop

Keep your business moving forwardIf you haven't set your goals for 2006, decide what you want NOW.

To make the most of your business in 2006 you'll not only need to be healthy, but you'll also need the support of others.Leave some space on the right side of the page for a "Due Date" column.

Naturally, the owners are interested in the safety of their capital as also for a reasonable return thereon, which rest on the concern' s stability and prosperity. Accounting reports (annual) not only appraise the past performance but also assist in assessing future prospects of the entity. Such information is also very important for would-be-owners.
Creditors:
May be short-term viz, suppliers of goods, lenders of temporary advance or long-terms viz. mortgages, debenture holders etc. Although both are interested in the stability and earnings of the debtor firm yet the former specially looks to its short-term solvency i.e. liquidity whereas the latter is interested in long-term solvency of the firm.
Government:
Many products now-a-days are subject to excise-duty and sales Lax. Also the government regulates the prices of essential goods e.g.. drugs, vegetables, oil etc. So the Government is interested to know the costing information to administer excise duties and to regulate the prices of products. Government is also interested in the accounting information on the profits for income tax purposes.
Employees:
Steady employment and stability of business go together. Again trade unions are interested in sharing the profit of the firm in the form of bonus. Therefore, the employees are naturally interested in the accounting information provided by the annual accounting reports.
Consumers:
Price-increase is disfavored in almost all the quarters. Accordingly, a producer endeavors to reduce his product cost as also its selling price. Recently consumer protection associations have been formed to exercise control on the business and industry and also to make them aware of the "Social responsibility" towards society. Thus consumers also need accounting information.
Researchers:
The financial statements, being a mirror of business conditions are of inestimable value for research into business affairs. These statements are therefore of great interest to scholars undertaking research in accounting theory as well as business affairs and practices.
The nature of business income
One of the main objectives of financial accounting is to ascertain whether the business operations have been profitable or not. Accounting enables us to find out whether a business has earned profits or suffered losses during the accounting period.
