The Importance of Learning Accounting TheoryAdvice for the student:As a future accountant, certainly, you will be required to conduct such activities as constructing and analyzing financial statements or making decisions. It is also undeniable that accounting practices underlying various activities are of great importance because as an accountant, you have to be aware of what should do and how to do with your accounting job so that to achieve better performances in those activities.
However, sometimes even the accounting practice itself is doubtful or unreasonable. So simply learning how to apply such accounting practices without questioning or critiquing the basis of practice is either irresponsible or dangerous. The accounting failures such as the fall of Enron and WorldCom and the recent financial crisis had indicated that the need for an accountant to understand thoroughly about the up-to-date accounting theory, without which it would be difficult to evaluate whether current accounting practices are true and suitable, to develop improved accounting practices where the current ones become no longer valid under the changed business situations and to defend the reputation of accounting when accounting practices become the” scapegoat” for the companies failures.
The failure to understand accounting practices can have serious consequences, for for example, one of the most common kinds of errors is that accounting practice is difficult to understand well. Understanding the way accounting practice should be practiced can be difficult for some people too, who may not actually know the principles of accounting. But even these are usually very helpful when you’re doing very simple research on the theory and problems associated with accounting procedures, especially where the law can be challenging and a lot of information is available.
Why must some of the accounting techniques be studied?
To understand accounting properly or even more simply, there seems to be a lot to study in the accounting field, that is, what is different about how a company uses business, financial, or political systems to manage its financial affairs. And for that reason, the practice of looking at accounting practice and applying these skills or techniques as part of the basic business-to-business analysis of accounting, can be very important.

Understanding the Different Types of Accounting Practice
Now let’s look at some of the practices that can be used to understand accounting. They include
Trading or hedges,
Investment instruments by market price or share
Investment policies (ie the amount they would be accepted in exchange for loans)
Trade-by-Trade, or mutual funds or mutual funds with respect to stocks
Financial and economic regulation
Misclassified information (in most cases it has no meaningful context whatsoever, as they aren’t relevant)
Exchange traded securities and other items
Diversified accounts
Leveraged accounts (what it means to hold a fixed number of debt that is different from assets)
Mortgage securities
Creditors’ statements about how much a company is worth based on actual and perceived results.
As you can see this is quite important, but you may find it more useful to explore the practices described in the previous section if you want to understand more about the various aspects of these accounting practices.
Trading, hedging, and other investment information
Traders or investors can choose to use a market-linked index or any other securities that can be easily categorized by market value. In other words, stocks or bonds.
Here are some simple examples of trading that are important for understanding the different types of accounting practices.
Trading for loans: Many brokerage firms require that loans be exchanged for real estate. The fact that some investors have been required to make purchases and to pay for the loan by borrowing more money, these are not sufficient to cover all the interest on the loans. But buying or financing loans, it is thought, can be an asset that a trader must provide a firm with to get money. In this sense, securities are not considered securities.
Exchanging for real estate: The practice of buying or financing real estate requires that people that wish to own or sell securities be able to sell those securities. It means that they have to accept other financial and economic terms under which a broker is trading the securities that may or may not be used in those trades (or that should be

Moreover, accountants are powerful and influential in the business because many important decisions are made based on the information provided by them. For example, if the accounting information indicates that the firm is earning profits and having good debt condition and strong cash flows, it could be a sign for investors that the company is worth investing and vice versa. If the future accountant, at his student stage, does not critically learn to consider whether the accounting practices are logical or not, let alone he would think about it in his career. As a result, it could be potentially dangerous for the organization and even the accounting field.
