Outline (in English)

This lecture explains the system and theory of financial accounting and its application method. In learning of financial accounting, it is efficient to learn "how to make" and "how to read" financial statements at the same time, and this lecture aims to understand accounting practices through both viewpoints of the financial statement preparers and readers.

Regarding how to prepare financial statements, I will explain basic accounting principles and accounting standards. This includes discussions on the concepts of financial accounting purposes, functions of double entry bookkeeping, concept of profit calculation, concept of accounting regulation, concept of asset valuation, and qualitative characteristics of accounting information, assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
With regard to how to read financial statements, I will discuss the types of alternative accounting procedures and the motivation patterns of financial statement preparers on their choices, and discuss how to interpret the meaning of the published accounting figures. In addition, I will explain representative financial indicators and techniques to infer the realities of companies from the actual published financial statements.

The goals of this lecture are as follows.
(1) Acquire the ability to consider how each transaction should be accounted for using accounting vocabulary (concepts), and the ability to explain it to others.
(2) Understand Japanese accounting standards and the basic concepts necessary for reading IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards).
(3) To acquire the ability to understand the intention of the financial statement preparers behind the accounting figures.
(4) Acquire the ability to infer the actual state of the company from financial statements.
