Financial Statement means: 1. Trading and Profit and Loss Account for the accounting period ended on (in case of trading organizations buying and selling Manufacturing and profit and loss account (in case of manufacturing units 2. Balance Sheet as at 31/03/2011 3. Cash flow statements for the period 4. Accounting policies 5. Accounting Standards 6. Notes forming part of accounts ACCOUNTING ASSUMPTIONS
1. Money Measurement : Record of transaction is made only those events which can be measured and expressed in terms of money . Transactions are recorded value of money (at the time the transactions are recorded) 2. Going Concern : Going concern concept means that a business concern that a business concern will continue to operate for a fairly long period, from this point of view its business transactions are recorded in the books of accounts
3. : The Business Entity: Every business undertaking whether it is a sole trading concern or a partnership firm or a limited company is considered as different entity from the person who owns it , hence all the transactions are recorded in the business concerns and not in the books of owners.
ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS
1. Accounting Period Concept: According to going concern assumption a business concern likely to continue for an indefinitely long period of time, for the purpose of reporting to outsiders like creditors, investors, banks, financial institutions, etc financial performance and financial position is required to be ascertained yearly. 2. Objectivity Concept: This concept specifies that all entries of business transactions which take place during accounting period should be supported by the evidences such as invoices (for sales), bills/invoices (for purchases), documents, deeds, vouchers, which are objective and subject to verification. 3. Dual-Aspect Concept: For each transactions there are two effects one Debit the other is credit. Evert business transaction involves dual or double aspects of equal value for example if an asset is increased corresponding increase in liability or capital
In the books of any business concern at any moment of time , the following equation holds good ASSETS=LIABILITIES+CAPITAL OR ASSETS-CAPITAL=LIABILITIES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
1. Cost Principle : An asset acquired by a business concern is recorded in the books of accounts at cost(Historical Cost) that is the value actually paid for acquiring the asset. 2. Accrual Principle: The accrual principle suggests that when a transaction has been entered into its consequences will certainly follow. So all transactions must be recorded in the books of accounts whether paid or not. It implies that revenues accrue in that year in which they are earned, and not in the year in which year they are actually received. Similarly expenses will accrue in the year in which they are incurred and not in the year in which they are actually paid.
3. Matching Principle: Matching principle has been evolved to help a concern to know its net profit or net loss and the details of all revenues and expenses. To know the net profit or net loss and details of all revenues and expenses every business concern prepares and presents a statement or an account known as Income statement or Profit and Loss Account for the account period.
Profit is the result of two factors namely i) revenues and ii) expenses and losses The revenues increases the profit and the expenses and losses decreases the profit. For the determination of profit or loss the two factors are matched and result balance is taken as the net profit or net loss. Matching concept provides a sound basis namely accrual basis for the ascertainment of the correct profit or loss of the business for the accounting period.
4. Realization Principle: According to the realization principle, is considered as being earned on the date on which it is realized ( it is not relevant whether cash is received or not) Revenue is considered as being realized: Not when goods are manufactured Or order is received But on the date on which goods or services are transferred to the customer and the customer is legally liable to pay for them
Advantages of this principle Revenue recognition principle is much of significance for the preparation of Income Statement or Profit and Loss Account This principle has contributed to the accrual basis of accounting (that means income or expense is to be recorded on the date on which goods or services are transferred/expense is incurred, whether the amount is received or not in the case of income, similarly whether expense is paid or not). This principle gives objectivity and definiteness to revenue recognition. ACCOUNTING CONVENTIONS 1.Conservatism: In accounting records and in the financial statements of a business concern all the anticipated losses (example few debts may become bad), risks and uncertainties should be provided but expected incomes should be ignored even the income sure to arise, to put in simple words
ACCOUNTING RULES 1. Materiality Rule: In accounting a detailed record is made record of business transactions only those business transactions which are Material No detailed record is made of transactions which are trivial (not important) In the case of such trivial transactions only a broad view is taken Minute(small) details of such transactions is not justified by the usefulness of the results Pencil is required for office, someone will be using the pencil in fact pencil is an asset by using the pencil it will depreciate day by day, we can calculate such depreciation but the cost of such an effort is will be very high hence pencil is taken as used at the time it purchased The logic behind the materiality rule is that only material and significant transactions are recorded Materiality is a relative term because what is material to one the same may not be material to other. For example an employee getting a salary of Rs 5,000/- per month if loses Rs 100 it is a material amount lost for him the same is not for a millionaire because it is not material amount for him. For instance cost of small items of tools are material(important) for a small repair workshop but they are not material for a ship builder
2. Disclosure Rule: Disclosure means all material facts must be disclosed in the financial statements For example in the case of sundry debtors (or receivables) the disclosure is as below: Total Sundry Debtors Rs 5,000 Debtors considered to be good 4,500 Debtors considered to be doubtful 500 Debtors outstanding less than six months Debtors outstanding for more than six months Rs 3,000 2,000
The idea behind this rule is that the financial statements are essentially meant for for external users, on the basis of information external users make take decisions
