Important Updates for Investors
Carla Pasternak's Premiere Issue of High-Yield International Just
Released
Income expert Carla Pasternak's debut issue of High-Yield
International covers a Taiwanese manufacturer yielding 9.5%... a
rare Mexican monopoly yielding 13.4%... and other top-performing
investments yielding up to 19.0%.
Government's Biofuel Timetable Could Spell +15,900% Growth
+15,900% growth might seem far-fetched... but it's not. In fact, it
is mandated by law. And I've identified the ONLY stock positioned to
capture this growth.
The
Silver Lining to a Falling Dollar
Despite the U.S. national debt, there is a silver lining for income
investors. This massive spending, combined with movement out of U.S.
Treasuries, is going to take its toll on the dollar, and
international income investors could reap the rewards in the form of
higher dividends. |

| Accounting |
What It Is:
Accounting is the process of systematically recording, measuring, and
communicating information about financial transactions.
How It Works/Example:
At the heart of accounting is the double-entry bookkeeping method. This involves
making at least two recording entries for every transaction: a debit in one
account and a credit in another account. The method helps prevent errors because
the sum of the debits should equal the sum of the credits. The three major
financial statements produced by accounting are the income statement, the
balance sheet, and the cash flow statement.
Accounting can be done on a cash basis (cash accounting) or on an accrual basis
(accrual accounting). Cash accounting records cash inflows and outflows in the
period in which they occur. Accrual accounting records income and expenses in
the period to which they are attributable rather than when cash payments come
and go. For example, a check written in April for March’s utilities would
appear as a March expense under the accrual method and as an April expense under
the cash method.
There are two general kinds of accounting. Financial accounting is the recording
and communication of economic information in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) and is primarily for external users. Managerial
accounting is the recording and communication of economic information that may
or may not be in accordance with GAAP and is for internal users. Other
accounting specialty areas exist, such as tax accounting, oil and gas
accounting, or forensic accounting.
There are two kinds of users of accounting information: internal users and
external users. Internal users are usually company managers who use accounting
information to decide how to plan and control operations on a daily and
long-term basis. External users are existing or potential investors, creditors,
analysts, financial advisers, regulatory authorities, unions, and the general
public. They use accounting information to make a myriad of decisions about
whether to buy, hold, sell, lend, continue a relationship, or make an agreement.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the IRS, and other regulatory bodies set accounting standards and
requirements for accounting frequency and presentation.
Why It Matters:
Accounting is tremendously important because it is the language of business, and
it is at the root of making informed business decisions. Without accounting,
managers would not know which products were successful, which business decisions
were the right ones, and whether the company was earning money.
It would not know how much to pay in taxes, whether to lease or buy an asset, or
whether to merge with another company. In short, accounting doesn’t just count
the beans, it measures a company’s success at meeting its goals and it helps
investors understand how efficiently their economic resources are being used.
This is why companies must be proficient in accounting in order to make good
decisions.
Accounting can be controversial, in that accounting rules and methods are
sometimes subject to interpretation or can appear to distort a company’s true
performance. This is another important reason that effective leaders and
managers must thoroughly understand the accounting impact of their decisions.
