According to the AICPA, an AIS has five primary objectives:
1. Identify and record all valid transactions. For example, if company intentionally records a fictitious sale, it can overstate revenues and income. If a company forgets to record some expenses at the year's end, expenses are understated and net income is overstated.
2. Properly classify transactions. For example, improperly classifying an expense as an asset overstates assets and net income.
3. Record transactions at their proper monetary value. For example, an account receivable that becomes uncollectible should be written off.
4. Record transactions in the proper accounting period. For example, recording 2006 sales in 2005 overstates sales and net income for 2005 and has the opposite effect for 2006.
5. Properly present transactions and related disclosures in the financial statements. For example, failing to disclose a lawsuit or a contingent liability could mislead the reader of a financial statement.
