Accounting, as one of the most important practice of human activities is not a cases outside. Accounting environment have the base sense for the smooth conduct of the activities of accounting, while various accounting environmental factors will have isolated impact on total activity of the accounting system. The study of the structure of the accounting environment system and the relations between the various elements in this system made us to be much more realistic in this area ofaccounting theory and practice, to build a harmonious Environmental System for clear direction, so as to promote the accounting cause of sustainable development.Chapter 1 Accounting1.1 The decision of accountingAccounting is one of the fastest growing fields in the modern business world. Every new shore, school, restaurant, or filling station indeed, any new enterprise of any kind increases the demand for accountants. Consequently, the demand for accountants is generally much greater than the supply. Government official often have a legal background: similarly, the men and women in management often have a background in accounting. They are usually familiar with the methodology of finance and fundamentals of fiscal and business administration.Today’s accountants ar e as diverse as their job assignments. Accountants may be male or female, outgoing or conservative, but they are all analytical. They may have backgrounds in art history or computer programming. They come from every ethnic and cultural background.The accounting backgrounds can open doors to most lines of business. In short, accounting deals with all facets of anorganization —purchasing, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. This is why accounting provides such an excellent basis for business experience. Accounting is an information system necessitated by the great complexity of modern business.1.2 The functions of accountingOne of the most important functions of accounting is to accumulate and report financial information that shows an organization’s financial position and the results of its operations to its interested users. These users include managers, stockholders, banks and other creditors, governmental agencies, investment advisors, and the general public. For example, stockholders must have an organization’s financial information in order to measure its management’s performance and to evaluate their own holdings. Banks and other creditors must consider the financial strength of a business before permitting it to borrow funds. Potential investors need financial data in order to compare prospective investments. Also many laws require that extensive financial information be reported to the various levels of government. Businesses usually publish such reports at least annually. To meet the needs of the external users, a framework of accounting standards, principles and procedures known as “generally accepted accounting principles” have been developedto insure the relevance and reliability of the accounting information contained in these external financial reports. The subdivision of the accounting process that produces these external reports is referred to as financial accounting.Another important function of accounting is to provide the management inside an organization with the accounting information needed in the organization’s internal decision-making, which relates to planning, control, and evaluation within an organization. For example, budgets are prepared under the directions of a company’s controller on an annual basis and express the desi res and goals of the company’s management. A performance report is supplied to help a manager focus his attention on problems or opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Furthermore, cost-benefit data will be needed by a company’s management in deciding among the alternatives of reducing prices, increasing advertising, or doing both in attempt to maintain its market shares. The process of generating and analyzing such accounting information for internal decision –making is often referred to as managerial accounting and the related information reports being prepared are called internal management reports. As contrasted with financial accounting, a management accounting information system provides both historical and estimated information that is relevant to thespecific plans on more frequent basis. And managerial accounting is not governed by generally accepted accounting principles. Chapter 2 Accounting environmentThe growth of organizations, changes in technology, government regulation, and the globalization of economy during the twentieth century have spurred the development of accounting. As a result, a number of specialized fields of accounting have evolved in addition to financial accounting and managerial accounting, which include auditing, cost accounting, tax accounting, budgetary accounting, governmental and not –for-profit accounting, human resources accounting, environmental accounting, social accounting, international accounting, etc. For example, tax accounting encompasses the preparation of tax returns and the consideration of the tax consequences of proposed business transactions or alternative courses of action. Governmental and not-for-profit accounting specializes in recording and reporting the transactions of various governmental units and other not-for-profit organizations. International accounting is concerned with the special problems associated with the international trade of multinational business organizations. All forms of accounting, in the end, provide information to the related users and help them make decisions.Accountant the environment has, the development closely with accountant related, and decided that accountant the thought that the accounting theory, accountant organize, accountant the legal system as well as the accountancy level of development historic condition and the particular case.Studies accountant the environment the influence which develops to accountant, should take accountant the goal, accountant suppose, the accounting standards as the clue.2.1 The goal of accountant is the starting point in which accounting environment affects the accounting information system Each kind of accountant under the pattern accountant the goal concrete difference may sum up as accountant the environment different result. Looking from longitudinal, the different historical period, accountant the environment is different, accountant the goal is also different, from this causes the accounting information existence huge difference; Looking from crosswise, different national accountant the environment is different, accountant the goal content has the difference, its accounting information is also unique. About accountant the goal, the theorists have “the policy-making useful view” and “the management responsibility view” the s truggle. What policy-making useful view interdependence is the developed capital market, theresources request and is entrusted with something the relations are establishes through the capital market. Thus, the resources entrusting party and is entrusted with something the side responsibility relations intermediary becomes because of the capital market fuzzy. But the responsibility view to base the resources request which forms in the direct intercourse with is entrusted with something the relations. Western various countries and the international accounting standards committee approve the policy-making useful view. If the international accounting standards committee said that “must focus the attention to provide to the economic decision-making useful inform ation”. Comparatively speaking, the management responsibility view depends on each other accountant the environment and the Chinese present stage economic reform and the development actual situation even more tallies. The current our country financial inventory accounting's essential target, should locate, in approaches the trustee to report the fiduciary duty in the fulfillment situation. Because of from the time, the management responsibility view mainly faces the future, but faces in the past and the present. But in accountant confirmed that the standard and the measurement foundation's choices aspect, the foothold in the past and the present must be easier than in the future the foothold, provided the information quality even more drewclose to the goal the request.Because just accountant the goal affects the accounting information system's basic reason, therefore, the environment embarks from accountant to accountant the goal locates, can cause the accounting theory to move toward the accounting practice from Yu the accounting practice.2.2 accountants supposed has promulgated accountant between the external environment close relations which depended on each other with it.Accountant supposes is the accounting personnel the reasonable judgment which locates to the accounting the change which does not decide accountant who the environment makes, is the accounting basic premise Accountant supposes to financial inventory accounting has the overall importance influence, it is the behavior main body and the general situation embarks from accountant constructs the system info, American Accounting standards Committee Respective Accountant Research department's first memoir is “accountant's fundamental assumption”. Although theoretically speaking, the sound value information will have the guidance compared to the historical costs information regarding the user future economic decision-making, just like but US Chartered accountant the Association financial report Technical committee will publish thetopic will be "Improvement Enterprise Reported that - - Customer Guidance" said that the numerous users did not advocate by the sound value pattern substitution historical costs pattern, its reason will mainly be stems from the guarantee financial report information consistency, reliable and the cost - benefit principle consideration. However, they advocate many kinds of measurement attribute mix valuation.Accountant supposes is based on the external environment uncertainty proposed that therefore, may say that accountant supposes is the accounting theory and accountant the environment connected border meeting point, depends on each other accountant with it the environment to have the extremely close relationship. 2.3 The accounting standards disclose accountant the environment to the accounting information requestAccountant the environment to accounting standards' influence, may manifest in the accounting standards technical nature, the social two aspects.1. Technical nature. The accounting standards were considered that is one kind of pure objective restraint organization, one merely technical's standard method, its goal is enables accounting practice processing the science, to be reasonable, to be consistent. Since produces the behavior has universal restraint accountantafter accountant the standard system, accountant reforms mainly displays in accountant the standard system's reform, but accountant standard system's reform, displays for concrete accountant the computing technique innovation.2. Sociality. The different accounting standards will have the different accounting information, thus affects the different main body benefit, it will cause part of people to profit, but another part of people possibly suffer injury. The accounting standards produce the economic consequences prove its and impure objective. Accounting standards' sociality materially is the economic interest question, immediate influence to economic interest between related various aspects assignment. One of market economy's base elements is the fair competition；All market economy participants cannot different form the rank difference because of the right status. If the administrative right trades the behavior with the market economy to unify in together, will destroy the market mechanism, will be unable to realize the market economy effective disposition resources function. Therefore accounting standards' formulation organization must be the neutral organization, guarantees the accounting standards fairness and the rationality.Chapter 3 Accounting SystemAccounting system refers to establish accounting andaccounting supervision procedure and method of business activities.
