Introduction to Accounting
An account (in bookkeeping) refers to assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and equity, as
represented by individual ledger pages, to which changes in value are chronologically recorded
with debit and credit entries. These entries, referred to as postings, become part of a book of final
entry or ledger. Examples of common financial accounts are cash, accounts receivable,
mortgages, loans, PP&E, common stock, sales, services, wages, and payroll.
Definition of Accounting
Accounting operates within a broad socio-economic environment, and so, the knowledge
required of the accountant cannot be sharply compartmentalized.It is therefore, difficult to
discuss one area without relating to other areas of knowledge. We place a great emphasis on the
conceptual knowledge. The accountant should not only know but he should understand.
From the above it is clear that to define accounting as such, is rather difficult. Many accountants
have defined Accounting in very many languages. However, we can consider the following
definitions:
1.H.Chakravorty: Accountancy is the science of recording, classifying and summarizing
transactions so that relation with outsiders is exactly determined and result of operation during a
particular period can be calculated, and the financial position as the end of the period may be
shown.
2.A.I.C.P.A.: "Accountancy may be defined as the art of recording, classifying and summarizing
in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events, which are in part, at least
of financial character, and interpreting the results thereof".
3.Taylor and Shearing: "Accounting may be defined as the art and science of recording business
transactions in a methodological manner so as to show: (a) the true state of affairs of a business
of a particular period of time and, (b) the surplus or deficiency which has accrued during a
specific period."
Objectives of Accounting
The broad objects of Accounting may be briefly stated follows:
1.To maintain the cash accounts through the Cash Book and to find out the Cash balance on any
particular day.

or gain and losses or receivables and payables.
4.To furnish information regarding Purchases and Sales, both Cash and Credit.
5.To find out the net profit or net loss or surplus or deficit for any particular period.

Accounting Conventions & Concepts

Accounting Entity Concept
According to this assumption, a business is treated as a separate entity that is distinct from its
owner(s), and all other economic proprietors. This concept requires that for accounting purposes
a distinction should be made between (i) personal transactions and business transactions, and (ii)
transactions of one business entity and those of another business entity.
Money measurement Concept
According to this concept, only those transactions which are capable of being expressed in term
of money are included in the accounting records. Non-monetary transactions should be ignored.
E.g. Guarantee given by bank, Strikes, Lockouts, Layoff etc
Accounting Period Concept

According to this concept, the economic life of an enterprise is artificially split into periodic
intervals which are known as accounting periods at the end of which an income statement and
position statement are prepared to show the performance and financial position.
Going Concern Concept
According to this concept, the enterprise is normally viewed as a going concern that is,
continuing in operation for the foreseeable future. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAPs) GAAPs may be defined as those rules of action or conduct which are
derived from experience and practice and when they prove useful, they become accepted as
principles of accounting.
Criteria for acceptance of the Accounting Principles:
Relevance: A principle is relevant to the extent it results in information that is
meaningful and useful to the user of the accounting information.
Objectivity: Objectivity connotes reliability and trustworthiness. A principle is
objective to the extent the accounting information is not influenced by personal bias
or judgment of those who provide it.
Feasibility: A principle is feasible to the extent it can be implemented without much
complexity or costs.
Basic Principles of Accounting

Revenue Recognition Principle
Historical Cost Principle
Matching Principle
Full Disclosure Principle
Objectivity Principle
Consistency Principle

Duality Principle
The duality aspects of transaction is the basis of double entry records. The entry made for
each transaction is composed of two parts-one for debit and another for credit. Every debit

Revenue Recognition Principle

This principle is mainly concerned with the revenue being recognized in the Income Statement
(P&L A/c) of an enterprise. Revenue is the gross inflow of cash. It includes receivable from sale
of goods, rendering of services and use of enterprise resources, interests, royalties and dividends.
Revenue is recognized in the period in which it is earned irrespective of the fact whether it is
received or not during that period.
Historical Cost Principle

According to this principle, an asset is ordinarily recorded in the accounting records at the price
paid to acquire it at the time of its acquisition and the cost becomes the basis for the accounts
during the period of acquisition and subsequent accounting periods. The cost of an asset is
systematically reduced from year to year by charging depreciation and the asset is shown in the
balance sheet at book value.
Matching Principle
According to this principle, the expenses incurred in an accounting period should be matched
with the revenues recognized on all goods sold during a period, cost of those goods sold
should also be charged to that period. In Trial balance all debits should be matched with all
credits. In B/S, assets side should be matched with liabilities side.
Full Disclosure Principle

According to this principle, the financial statements should act as means of conveying and not
concealing. The financial statements must disclosure all the relevant and reliable information. It
should be full, fair and adequate so that the users can take correct assessment about the financial
performance and position of the enterprise.
Objectivity Principle
According to this principle, the accounting data should be definite, verifiable and free from
bias of the accountant. This principle requires that each recorded transaction in the books of
accounts should have an adequate evidence to support it. (E.g. vouchers, receipts, invoices
etc.)
Consistency Principle
According to this principle, whatever accounting practices are selected for a given category of
transactions, they should be followed continuously from one accounting year to another.

Analysis of Financial Statement
INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Analysis means methodical classification of the data given in the financial

statements.
Interpretation means explaining the meaning and significance of the data so
simplified.
Financial Analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and
weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationships between the items of
the balance sheet and the profit and loss account.
Different tools of financial Analysis

The various tools used for the analysis of the financial statements of a firm are:
1. Comparative Financial Statements
2. Common size Financial Statements
3. Trend Analysis
4. Ratio Analysis.
ILLUSTRATION
The following illustration will be used for explaining the various tools of
financial analysis:

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A simple method for financial analysis is Comparative Financial

Statements. Comparative financial statements will contain items at least for two
periods. Changes increases and decreases in income statement and balance sheet
over period are shown.
Comparative Financial Statements can be prepared for more than two periods or
on more than two dates.

COMMON SIZE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Comparative Financial Statements can be prepared for more than two periods or
on more than two dates. However, it becomes very cumbersome to study the trend with
more than two periods data. Trend percentages are more useful in such cases.
Common size financial statements are those in which figures reported are
converted into percentages to some common base. In the income statement, the sale
figure is assumed to be 100 and all figures are expressed as a percentage of sales.
Similarly, in the Balance Sheet, the total of assets or liabilities is taken as 100 and all
figures are expressed as a percentage of this total.
Illustration: On the basis of the data given in the previous illustration pertaining to
Swadeshi Polytex limited, prepare the common size income statement and common size
balance sheet for the years ended 31st March 1987 and 1988.
Solution:

GROSS PROFIT 25 25
Operating Expenses:
Administrative Expenses 2.50 2.00
Selling Expenses 3.75 4.00
Total Operating 6.25 6.00
The above statement shows that though in absolute terms, the cost of goods has
gone up, the percentage of its cost to sales remains consistent at 75%. This is the reason
why the gross profit continues at 25% of sales. Similarly, n absolute terms the amount of
administrative remains the same but as percentage to sales it has come down by 0.5%.
Selling expenses have increased by0.25%. These all lead to net increase in net profit by
0.25%.

Interpretation
The percentage of current assets to total assets was 38.46 in 1987. It has gone up to
48.69 in 1988. Similarly the percentage of current liabilities to total liabilities
(including capital) has gone up from 2307 in 1987 to 27.95 in 1988. Thus the proportion of
current assets has increased by percentage of 10 as compared to increase in the
proportion of current liabilities, which is about 5%. This has improved the working
capital position of the company. There has been a slight deterioration in the debt-equity
ratio though it continues to be sound. The proportion of shareholders funds in the total
liabilities has come down from 69.24% to 61.19% while that of debenture holders has
gone up from 7.69% to 9.86%.
TREND ANALYSIS
Trend percentages are immensely useful in making a

comparative study of financial statements for several years.
The method of calculating trend percentages involves the
calculation of percentage relationship that each item bears
to the same item in the base year.
Any year may be taken as the base year. It is usually the earliest
year. Any intervening year m
Each item of base year is taken as 100 and on that basis
the percentage for each item of the years is calculated.
These percentages can also be taken as Index Numbers
showing relative changes in the financial data resulting with
the passage of time.

Illustration: From the following data relating to the assets side of the balance sheet
of Kamadhenu Ltd., for the period 31st December 1985 to 31st December 1988 you
are required to calculate the trend percentage taking 1985 as the base year.

Ratios for Financial Statement Analysis
A ratio gives the mathematical relationship between one variable and another.
Ratios are well known and most widely used tools for financial analysis.
The various types of ratios have been classified into the following categories:
1. Liquidity ratios
2. Turnover ratios
3. Profitability ratios

4. Ownership ratios
Earnings ratio
Dividend ratios
Leverage ratios -- Capital structure ratios
-- Coverage ratios
LIQUIDITY
RATIOS
Liquidity implies a firms ability to pay its debts in the short term. This
ability can be measured by the use of liquidity ratios. Short term liquidity
involves the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.
1. Current Ratio
Current Assets
Current Ratio = ----------------------------
Current Liabilities
Current assets include cash, marketable securities, debtors, inventories, loans and
advances and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities include loans and advances taken,
trade creditors, accrued expenses and provisions.
2. Quick Ratio
This ratio is also termed as Acid Test Ratio.
Quick Assets
Quick Ratio = ------------------------
----- Current
Liabilities
Quick Assets = Current Assets Inventories

TURNOVER RATIOS
3. Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio
Accounts Receivable Ratio

(Debtors turnover ratio) = Net sales (or) Net Credit sales
Receivables Average Accounts Receivables
The average accounts receivable is obtained by adding the beginning receivables of

the period and the ending receivables and by dividing the sum by 2. The net sales or net
credit sales made by the firm should be taken for analysis.
4. Average Collection Period
The average number of days for which the debtors remain outstanding is
called the average collection period. It is calculated as under:
Average Collection period = 360

Average Accounts Receivables Turnover
. Inventory turnover ratio
The liquidity of a firms inventory may be calculated by dividing the cost of gods sold,
by the firms inventory. The invent ory or stock turnover, measures how fast the
inventory is moving through the firm and generating sales. It is calculated by the
following formula:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold (or) Net sales
Average inventory Inventory
Where, average inventory is the average of the opening and closing

inventory in any year and inventory means only the closing inventory at the end of a
year.
6. Fixed Assets Turnover ratio
Fixed assets turnover ratio = Net sales (or) _Cost of goods sold
Fixed assets fixed sales
This ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which the fixed assets are
employed

7. Total Assets Turnover Ratio
Total Assets Turnover Ratio = Net sales

Total Assets.
Total assets are simply the balance sheet total at the end of the year.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
8. Gross Profit Margin Ratio

Gross profit is the difference between the net sales and the cost of goods sold
Gross Profit Margin Ratio = Gross profit

Net sales
This ratio shows the margin left after meeting manufacturing costs.
9. Net Profit Margin Ratio
Net Profit Margin Ratio = Net profit

Net sales
It shows the earnings left for the shareholders (both equity and preference) as a
percentage of net sales.
10. Earnings power

Earnings is a measure of the operating profitability and is arrived at by the following
formula:
Earnings Power = Earnings before interest and taxes

Average total assets
EARNINGS RATIO
11. Earnings per share

The shareholders are concerned about the earnings of the firm in two ways. One is the
availability of the funds with the firm to pay their dividends and the other is to expand
their interest in the form of retained earnings that the firm can use to improve its
profitability. Earnings are expressed on a per share basis which is in short called EPS.
Earnings Per Share = Net Profit after Tax

Number of outstanding shares

12. P/E Ratio

It is calculated as under
Price Earnings Ratio = Market Value per share

Earnings per share
13. Capitalization Rate

The capitalisation rate is just the inverse of the Price-Earnings Ratio.
Capitalisation Rate = Earnings per share

Market Value per share
LEVERAGE RATIOS
Leverage refers to the use of debt finance. While debt capital is a cheaper source of
finance, it is also riskier source of finance. Leverage ratios help in assessing the risk
arising form the use of debt capital.
14. Debt Ratio

The firm may be interested to know the proportion of interest bearing funded debt in
the capital structure. Then this debt ratio will be helpful. It is arrived at by
dividing the total debt (TD) by the capital employed (CE) or Net Assets (NA)
Debt Ratio = Total Debt (TD) = Total Debt
Total Debt (TD) + Net Worth (NW) Capital Employed
Note: 1. Capital Employed = Net Assets = Net Fixed Assets + Net Current Assets
2. Net Current Assets = Current Assets Current liabilities excluding
interest bearing short term debt for working capital.
NFA + CA = NW + TD + CL
NFA + CA CL = NW + TD
NFA + NCA = NW + TD
NA = CE
Because equality of capital employed and Net assets, the debt ratio can also expressed as
Debt Ratio = Total Debt (TD)
Capital Employed (CE)

15. Debt-Equity Ratio

This ratio indicates the relative contributions of creditors and owners
Debt Equity ratio = Debt

Equity
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
MEANING
Cash flow statement is a statement, which describes the inflows and outflows of
cash and cash equivalents in an enterprise during a specific period of time. Such
statement takes into account the receipts and disbursements of cash. A cash flow
statement summarises the causes of changes in cash position of a business enterprise
between two dates.
CLASSIFICATION OF CASH FLOWS

The cash flow are classified into three main categories as:
1. Cash flow from operating activities
2. Cash flow from investing activities
3. Cash flow from financing activities
1. CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Operating activities are the principal revenue producing activities of the
enterprise and other activities that are not investing or financing activities. Cash flow
from operating activities is principally derived from the principal revenue-producing
activities of the enterprise.
The cash inflows from operating activities include receipts from customers for sales
or goods and services (including collection from debtors). Cash outflows from
operating activities include payments to suppliers for purchase of materials and for
services, payments to employees for services and payments to governments for tax duties.
2. CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other
investments not included in cash equivalents. It involves making and collecting of loans
and acquiring and disposing of debt and equity instruments and fixed assets.
The cash inflows from investing activities are receipts from collection of loans,
receipts from sales of shares, debt or similar instruments of other enterprises, receipts
from sales of fixed assets, and interest and dividends received on loans and investments.
Cash outflows from investing activities are disbursements of loans, payments to acquire
shares, debt or similar instruments of other enterprises, and payments (including advance
and down payments) to acquire fixed assets.

3. CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Financing activities are the activities that result in change in the size and consumption
of the owners capital (including preference share capital in case of a company) and
borrowings of the enterprise.
Cash inflows from financing activities are proceeds from issuing shares or other
similar instruments, debentures, mortgages, bonds and other short or long-term
borrowings. Cash outflows from financing activities are the payments of dividends,
payments to acquire or redeem shares or other similar instruments of the enterprise,
repayments of amounts borrowed, principal payments to creditors who have extended
long-term credit, and interest paid.

IFRS vs. Indian Accounting Standards
The International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the reporting standards of

finance as set by the international accounting standards. Both IFRS and Indian
Accounting Standards have different accounting standards. However, with the
growing market trend, the need of a common set of accounting standards was felt by
all. Hence, IFRS is to be followed. However, with the differences in the standards
existing between both the bodies, a careful handling is to be carried out. Following
are few changes that will be made in case IFRS is issued and made compulsory:
AS-1: Disclosure of Accounting principles

IFRS-/IAS-1: Adoption of international financial reporting
standards/presentation of financial statements.
AS-3:cash flow statements
IAS-7: cash flow statements
AS-4: events after the balance sheet date
IAS-10: events recorded after the balance sheet date
AS-5: changes in accounting policies and accounting errors
IAS-8: prior period changes and accounting policies and errors changes
AS-6 and AS-10: Depreciation and fixed assets
IAS-16: plants, property and equipments
AS-9: revenue recognition
IAS-18: revenue
The above mentioned standards were some of the examples to the changes in accounting
standards of both the bodies. Not only that, IFRS deals with the balance sheet in the reverse
manner as ours. The first emphasis is laid on to the assets in the order of liquidity. The next
recorded details are that of the liabilities starting with the borrowings. Then finally the next
recorded details are that of the equity capital which is completely opposite according to the
Indian Accounting standards
Module-VI
Emerging issues in Accounting
Corporate Governance
Corporate governance refers to the system of structures, rights, duties, and obligations by
which corporations are directed and controlled. The governance structure specifies the
distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation (such
as the board of directors, managers, shareholders, creditors, auditors, regulators, and other
stakeholders) and specifies the rules and procedures for making decisions in corporate affairs.
Governance provides the structure through which corporations set and pursue their objectives,
while reflecting the context of the social, regulatory and market environment. Governance is a
mechanism for monitoring the actions, policies and decisions of corporations. Governance
involves the alignment of interests among the stakeholders.
There has been renewed interest in the corporate governance practices of modern corporations,
particularly in relation to accountability, since the high-profile collapses of a number of large
corporations during 20012002, most of which involved accounting fraud; and then again after
the recent financial crisis in 2008. Corporate scandals of various forms have maintained public
and political interest in the regulation of corporate governance. In the U.S., these include Enron
and MCI Inc. (formerly WorldCom). Their demise is associated with the U.S. federal
government passing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, intending to restore public confidence in
corporate governance. Comparable failures in Australia (HIH, One.Tel) are associated with the
eventual passage of the CLERP 9 reforms. Similar corporate failures in other countries
stimulated increased regulatory interest
The term corporate governance has come to mean two things.
* the processes by which companies are directed and controlled.
* a field in economics, which studies the many issues arising from the separation of
ownership and control.
In A Board Culture of Corporate Governance business author Gabrielle O'Donovan defines
corporate governance as 'an internal system encompassing policies, processes and people,
which serves the needs of shareholders and other stakeholders, by directing and controlling
management activities with good business savvy, objectivity and integrity. Sound
corporate governance is reliant on external marketplace commitment and legislation, plus a
healthy board culture which safeguards policies and processes'.
Parties to corporate governance
Parties involved in corporate governance include the regulatory body (e.g. the Chief
Executive Officer, the board of directors, management and shareholders). Other
stakeholders who take part include suppliers, employees, creditors, customers and the
community at large.
Issues involving corporate governance principles include:
* oversight of the preparation of the entity's financial statements

* internal controls and the independence of the entity's auditors
* review of the compensation arrangements for the chief executive officer and other
senior executives

Human Resource Accounting
Human Resource Accounting (HRA) means to measure the cost and value of the people
(i.e. of employees and managers) in the organisation. It measures the cost incurred to
recruit, hire, train and develop employees and managers.
HRA also finds out the present economic value of its employees and managers. After
measuring the cost and value of its employees and managers, the organisation prepares a
report. This report is called HRA Report. It is shown to the top level management. It can
also be shown to the employees, managers and outside investors.
What is Human Resource Accounting?
Human Resource Accounting is the process of identifying and measuring data about
Human Resources and communicating this information to the interested parties. It is an
attempt to identify and report the Investments made in Human Resources of an
organisation that are currently not accounted for in the Conventional Accounting
Practices.
Methods of Human Resource Accounting
Quite a few Models have been suggested in the past for the Human Resource
Accounting and these can be classified into 2 parts each having various Models. Some of
the Important ones are:-
A. Cost Based Models
I. Capitalisation of Historical Costs Model
II. Replacement Costs Model
III. Opportunity Cost Model
B. Value Based Models
I. Present Value of Future Earnings Model/ Lev and Schwartz Model
II. Reward Valuation Model/ Flamholtz Model
III. Valuation on Group Basis
A. COST BASED MODELS
I. Capitalisation of Historical Costs
As per this Method of HR Accounting, the sum of all costs related to Human Resources (i.e.

Recruitment, Acquisition, Formal Training, Informal Training, Informal

Familiarisation, experience and development) is taken together to represent the value of the
human resources.
II. Replacement Costs
The Historical Cost Method was highly criticised as it only takes into account the Sunk
Costs which are irrelevant for Decision Making. Thus, a new model for Human Resource
Accounting was conceptualised which took into the account, the costs that would be
incurred to replace its existing human resources by an identical one.
1. Individual Replacement Costs which refers to the cost that would have to be
incurred to replace an individual by a substitute who can provide the same set of
services as that of the individual being replaced
2. Positional Replacement Costs which refers to the cost of replacing the set of
services referred by an incumbent in a defined position
III. Opportunity Cost Model
This model was advocated by Hekimian and Jones in the year 1967 and is also known as
the Market Value Method.
This method of measuring Human Resources under this Model is based on the concept of
opportunity cost i.e. the value of an employee in its alternative best use, as a basis of
estimating the value of human resources. The opportunity cost value may be established
by competitive bidding within the firm, so that in effect, managers bid for any scarce
employee. A human asset therefore, will have a value only if it is a scarce resource, that is,
when its employment in one division denies it to another division.
B. ECONOMIC VALUE MODELS

I. Present Value of Future Earnings Model
This Model of human resource accounting was developed by Lev and Schwartz in the
year 1971 and involves determining the value of human resources as per the present value
of estimated future earnings discounted by the rate of return on Investment (Cost of
Capital).
II. Reward Valuation Model/ Flamholtz Model
Flamholtz advocated that an Individuals Value to an organisation is determined by

theservices he is expected to render. This model of Human Resource Accounting is
an improvement to the Present Value of Future Earnings Model as it takes into account

NATURE AND INCIDENCE OF WINDOW DRESSING

Window Dressing
It is the act or instance of making something appear deceptively attractive or
favourable; something used to create a deceptively attractive or favourable impression.
The act or practice of giving something superficial appeal by skilful presentation.
Nature of Window Dressing
1. Inflate the sales from the current year by advancing the sales from the following
year.
2. Alter the other income figure by playing with non-operational figures like sale
of fixed assets.
3. Fiddle with the method and rate of depreciation. (A switch may be effected from
the written down value method to the straight line method or vice versa.)
4. Change the method of stock valuation from, say, direct costing to absorption, to
minimize the cost of goods sold.
5. Capitalise certain expenses like research and development costs and product
promotion cost, that are ordinarily written off in the profit and loss account.
6. Defer certain discretionary expenditures (like repairs, advertising, research and
development) to the following year.
7. Make inadequate provision for certain known liabilities (gratuity etc.,) and treat
certain liabilities as contingent liabilities
8. Make extra provisions during prosperous years and written them back in lean
years.
9. Use totally unacceptable accounting practices.
10. Revalue assets to create the impression of substantial reserves.
