Abstract: Abstract Accounting has often been called the language of business (Piper, 2013). Through the debits and credits, revenues and expenses, and assets and liabilities found on financial statements, companies com-municate to stakeholders the financial health of the organization and the progress it is making in achieving its financial-oriented goals and objectives (Botan, 2006; Coombs & Holladay, 2010; Hallahan, Holtzhausen, van Ruler, Vercic, & Srirmesh, 2007; Smith, 2012).
