7) Accounting for Expenses:

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING MANUAL


17 9/14/2017
Designer Jeans Limited
All expenses shall be accounted for on accrual basis. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, transactions and events shall be recognized when they occur (and not
as cash or its equivalent is paid) and shall be recorded in the accounting records
and reported in the financial statements of the periods to which they relate.
Expenses shall be recognized in the income statement on the basis of a direct
association between the costs incurred and the earning of specific items of income
(matching).

8) Materiality and Aggregation:

Each material item that is enough to effect evaluation or decision shall be


presented separately in the financial statements. Immaterial amounts are
aggregated with the amounts of similar nature or function and need not be
presented separately.

Financial statements result from processing large quantities of transactions,


which are structured by being aggregated into groups according to their nature
or function. The final stage in the process of aggregation and classification is the
presentation of condensed and classified data, which form line items either on
the face of the financial statements or in the notes. If a line item is not
individually material, it shall be aggregated with other items either on the face of
the balance sheet or in notes. An item that is not sufficiently material to warrant
separate presentation on the face of financial statements may nevertheless be
sufficiently material that it should be presented separately in the notes.

Materiality depends on the size and nature of the item judged in the particular
circumstances of its omission. In deciding whether an item or an aggregate of
items is material, the nature and the size of the item shall be evaluated together.
Depending on the circumstances, either the nature or the size of the item could
be the determining factor. For example, individual assets with the same nature
and function shall be aggregated even if the individual amounts are large. Large
items which in nature or function shall be presented separately.

9) Offsetting:

DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED 's assets and liabilities shall not be offset except
when offsetting is required or permitted by any International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Items of income & expenditure shall be setoff when an International Financial
Reporting Standard and Income Tax Ordinance -1984 requires or permitted.

material are reported separately. Offsetting in either income statement or

11.2 Concept:

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING MANUAL


106 9/14/2017
Designer Jeans Limited
Fixed assets have the fundamental characteristic that they are held with the object
of earning revenue and not for the purpose of sale in the ordinary course of
business. Depreciable assets are assets which are expected to be used during more
than one accounting period. Note that land generally has an indefinite life and is
therefore not depreciable asset as defined above. The other assets do have a
definite life and are therefore depreciable assets. Thus, for accounting purposes the
value of land and building should be segregated.

11.3 Introduction:

A proper record shall be maintained for all fixed assets. The records of assets shall
be maintained using the accounting codes and heads as illustrated in common chart
of accounts.
Capital expenditure is defined as items or software that will last for more than 12
months. Unit price of any asset is at least Taka 1,000 (One Thousand) only will be
regarded as fixed asset of DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED for all that any item is
below worth Taka 1,000 (One Thousand) only but durable for many years will not be
capitalized.
For this reason, proper register and accounting books are to be maintained in Head
Office to fully account for fixed assets in their possession. Where fixed assets are
procured, it will be necessary to keep an accurate account of such assets for
physical control and inventory.

11.4 Safe Custody of Fixed Assets:

Every offices of DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED shall designate a staff member for
maintaining the records of fixed assets and their movements and safe custody.
Assets issued to various offices of DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED shall remain in the
safe custody of those offices and therefore they will be responsible for management
of those assets.

11.5 Work in Process of Fixed Assets:

Asset build-Work in Process:

The functional manager in charge of each asset will use the authorized Budget
details to establish project number(s) & sub projects, which will be recorded in
Work in Process with a budget value, and timetable.
The manager will start procurement procedure and communicate with the
suppliers/sub-contractors along with purchase orders or to arrange internal
resources. The on line system will record POs placed, paid, & the value of
outstanding POs.

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING MANUAL


107 9/14/2017
Designer Jeans Limited
Internal resources-Advances & actual costs:
For internal resources, DJL assigned will estimate the costs, using the budget
value(s) as a guideline, for each project/sub project and request cash advances.
Requests on Advance Form will cover expenses-travel, meals/allowances,
contractors etc and must be submitted at least 2 days prior to departure.
Authorisation will be by the immediate manager.
Actual charges, with supporting paid vouchers, will be authorized by the immediate
manager, checked by Finance and recorded against each project For internal labour
costs, finance will take the hours worked at an average rate paid for all staff,
including an overheads allowance.
Advances must be cleared with actual expenses (or cash returned), within 7 days of
completion of the specific project. Finance will prepare a list of outstanding
advances for the managers concerned. Failure to clear an advance will result in the
advance being deducted by the manager from the employees salary.

Reporting:

Monthly a report of all WIP capital assets will be prepared showing amount
authorized, actual expenditure to date, forecasted costs, amount over/under budget,
and expected completion date. Anticipated Variances of +5% or -10% on total cost
will require COO approval.

Asset cost/completion:

Once the Functional manager in charge of the project confirms that the asset is
complete, & all costs have been charged, he will advise Finance in writing. Finance
will then transfer the costs from Work in Process to the relevant Fixed Asset
Account.
For projects with a total value of Tk.50,000 where costs exceed the budget by more
than 5%, a written explanation should be prepared by the functional manager, and
forwarded to the CEO for authorization. A quarterly summary on capex will be
given to the Board, showing WIP, & completed projects.

At the time of charging depreciation.

A) - At the time of purchase / procurement:

1) If a fixed asset (photocopier) is purchased or procured by the Head Office

total accumulated depreciation is to be deducted from the cost price of the fixed
assets in question and the result is to be shown as the net book value.

result, there is an ever-growing need to maintain and update various data and
information with regard to these assets i.e, the maintenance system, total numbers,

assets.

However, treatment of this book is almost the same as with the register of
members.

vi. Minute Books (sec.89)- These are used for recording all resolutions and the
proceedings of meetings of the directors and the members of the company. Two
minute books are maintained, one being directors minute book and another for the
meeting of the shareholders.

The shareholders minute book should be kept open for inspection by any interested
members and copy of extracts thereof furnished if so requested. If any such
inspection is refused or copy not provided, the company and every officer of the
company who is knowingly and willfully in default shall be liable in respect of each
offence to a fine not exceeding Taka one hundred (100) and a further fine of Taka
one hundred (100) for every day during which the default continues. In case of any
such refusal or default, the court may by order compel an immediate inspection of

required be sent to the persons requiring them. However, directors minute books
cannot be inspected by anybody other than a director or the auditor of the company.

accounts. The sub-section 6 of this section contains penal provisions for default in
maintaining books of accounts which is six months applicable for those who are
listed in sub-section 7 of section 181.

16.03.03 Statistical Registers:


Statistical books are required more of necessity than by the Act and are subsidiary
in nature. The following are some of the commonly used statistical books:

i. Application and Allotment register (sec.148)- This book contains names,


addresses and occupations of the applicants of shares, the amount of applicants of
shares, the amount of application money received, if any money is refunded its
particulars, cheque number, date etc. This register is required in case of a new
company or at the time of share floatation for public subscription. The particulars in
this book are important till filing the Allotment return, after which the descriptions
are shifted to the register called the members register. The Act is not very clear
about such a register. But the particulars as mentioned in section 148 cannot be
properly recorded and maintained or monitored unless such a register is there.
ii. Register of Share Transfer (sec. 38)- This register contains the names,
addresses and occupation of the transferor and the transferee, number of shares
transferred, date of transfer and the number of share certificate. This register,

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING MANUAL


131 9/14/2017
Designer Jeans Limited
though not specifically mentioned in this section, cannot be dispensed with if the
details of all transfers are required to be kept in one concise place. Such details
may be necessary for any future use; say for any case of litigation.
iii. Share Certificate and Debenture books- The details of each share certificate
and debenture certificate in relation to their number, distinctive number, number of
shares contained in each certificate, name of the holder of the certificate etc, are
recorded in these registers. They are also called scrip register which contains the
details of share scrips.
iv. Attendance Book- The book is necessary to record the presence of directors in
the Board Meeting and the amount paid to them as their attendance fees.
Signatures of all the directors present in the meeting are recorded in original and
when there is any absence, the reason is laid down if it is a leave of absence against
the directors name. (Regulation 76).
v. Agenda Book- The Company Secretary, to be upright, maintains the agenda
book. It contains, in the left hand side, the agenda points, in chronological order
and in the right hand side his notings as per agenda. This is very helpful for
preparing the minutes of the meetings after the meeting is over.
vi. Proxy register This book record, meeting wise, the details of proxies received
from different members. It facilitates a permanent record of who was the proxy and
who appointed him and for which meeting. This may be necessary for any future
use.
To meet the need of time, the Company Secretary may, in the course of his
functions, maintain some other books and registers, such as: the dividend register,
shareholders address book etc., according to his necessity and experience.
vii. Index cards One more important aspect that the Secretary should take care
of, is the specimen signatures of the shareholders. The only mark of identity of any
shareholder with the company is his signature. It is necessary to check the
signature of the shareholders usually in the cases of transfers, blank transfers,
change of address requests and claim for arrear dividend. Without such a scrutiny
the merit of the claim cannot be ascertained.
Therefore, it is advisable for the Company Secretary to procure all the signatures of
the shareholders and maintain those in a cardex system. In this system the
signature cards are placed in alphabetic (or may be some other ) chronology in a
card-tray and locked in the cabinet.
A list of books and registers and copies of other documents to be kept at the
registered office for inspection.

Stock Companies and firms which have bearing on the shareholders interests.
Returns are nothing but disclosure of some facts as per the relevant sections, in the
prescribed format to the Registrar.
The submission of returns are mandatory, failure of which leads to various penalties
and other complications. Therefore, due care is to be laid in submitting returns as
per statutory time limit and according to various provisions.
The frequencies of returns are varied. Some are routine yearly returns, some are
regular but only occasional depending on the happening of certain events. Then

collected at source is part of income of the assessee and is treated as payment of
tax in due time. Tax Deducted at source will be deducted as per provision of the
Income Tax Ordinance (TDS rate has been described in Section 50 to 56).
Section 56 (Deduction from income of Non Resident) describes that TDS will be
deducted from the foreign company as per prescribed company rate and the person
other than a company then TDS will be deducted at the maximum rate. If the
Government of Bangladesh may enter into an Agreement with the Government on
any other country for the avoidance of Double Taxation and prevention of fiscal
evasion with respect to taxes on income leviable under this ordinance and also
under the corresponding law in the other country then the Seven Schedule
describes in paragraph 8 (2) that any person (Bangladeshi Payer) who pays income
of any such class to a person (Non Resident) in the said country who is beneficially
entitle to the income may be required, by notice given by or under the direction of
the Board, to pay any such income to the Non Resident without deduction of tax.
Section 58 of Income Tax Ordinance describes that Company (who deducts or

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING MANUAL


134 9/14/2017
Designer Jeans Limited
assessed (assessment completed either on regular or provisional basis before the
15th May of the year) income exceeds Taka 200,000/ prescribed by the ordinance
under section 64 (1).

The amount of advance tax payable by an assessee in a financial year shall be the
amount equal to the tax payable on his total income of the latest income year as
assessed on regular basis or provisionally, as the case may be, as reduced by the
amount of tax required to be deducted or collected at source in accordance with the
provision relating to deduction or collection of tax at source. The tax payable as
above is determinable at the rates in force during the concerned financial year.

Advance tax shall be payable in four equal instalments on the fifteenth day of

and pay the advance tax accordingly. While preparing the estimate, one must take
sufficient care that the tax paid on the basis of the estimate does not fall short of
75% of the tax payable on the regular assessment. Because, if the tax paid falls
short, he is liable for interest.

If the assessee fails to pay any instalment of advance tax, he will be deemed to be
an assessee in default. Penalty may be imposed for such default.

Where payment of Advance tax by a new assessee or by an old assessee on the basis
of his own estimate, fall short of 75% of the tax payable on the basis of regular
assessment, interest at the rate of 10% is leviable on the amount by which the tax
paid together with the tax deducted at source if any, fall short of 75% of the

17.14 - ANTI-CORRUPTION STRATEGY:

I. Definition of Corruption:

Corruption is the abuse of public or private office for personal gain.

II. Confidentiality:

In all cases, it is essential that allegations, evidence and investigations of fraudulent


or corrupt practices be treated with the utmost confidentiality and disruption.
Circulation of all materials involved in cases should be limited to a strictly need to
know basis, and proper safeguards should be there to protect both the accused
and the firm or individual (entity) whose allegation or evidence led to the
investigation.

III. Procedures for Addressing Allegations of Fraud and Corruption

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED is the point of
contact to report allegations of fraud and corruption among DESIGNER JEANS
LIMITED activities or its staff.

DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED staff/stakeholders /others are required to report to


CEO any allegations or evidence of corruption that they receive or encounter. In the
context of this policy, evidence is information, facts or circumstances which would
lead a neutral, unbiased observer to the reasonable belief that corrupt or fraudulent
practice (s) may have occurred in any aspect of DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED
activities. While CEO may require providing additional background information to
facilitate the investigation, staff involvement will typically end with their submission
of the matter to CEO.

Once the allegation and /or evidence have been turned over to CEO, CEO will
present it before the Board. Upon screening, Board will determine whether to
proceed with an investigation or not. At Boards discretion, it may conduct
preliminary inquiries of concerns that an executive / staff may have committed any
conduct perceived to be fraudulent or corrupt practices. If Board finds that there is
no basis to consider disciplinary action, Board will note the reasons for that
decision, and the case will be entered into the Company fraud and corruption
database.

Board will outline the proposed nature, scope, duration, investigating officer or
entity, and method for conducting the investigation.

Board may engage outside auditors, investigators or other experts for the
investigation.

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING MANUAL


148 9/14/2017
Designer Jeans Limited
The investigating entity will conclude the investigation and submit its findings and
any relevant evidence to Board. On the basis of investigative findings, and taking
into consideration the submissions of the accused party, the Company will assess
whether the alleged violation took place, the case should be closed, or if the
investigating entity should conduct further investigation. If the Company
determines that the accused party has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in
any DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED activity, it shall decide upon the appropriate
measures or remedial action to be taken.

Remedial action (sanctions) imposed by the Board may be appealed to the Board if
submitted by a concerned entity within 90 days form the date on which the decision
of the Board was sent to the entity. Any such appeal must be in writing, and clearly
and succinctly state the reason(s) for the requested review of the decision of the
Board. Board may constitute a Review Sub-committee (RS) for the review. The
Review Sub-Committee shall consider any new information to the extent that:

Such information was not known, or could not reasonably have been known, to the
investigation entity at the time that explanations were sought by the Board, and

Such information is relevant to the decision of the Board.

The Review Sub-Committee will render its decision. The decision of the Review Sub-
Committee on any such appeal shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to
further appeal.

While acknowledging the need for fairness and consistency in its operations, and
strongly affirming the need for its operations to adhere to the highest levels of
probity and integrity, DESIGNER JEANS LIMITED notes that different types of
corruption will require different responses. There is a need for careful judgment
based on accurate information and the specifics of the situation. If Board
investigation determines that fraud or corruption has occurred, then- depending
upon the nature of the violation Board could pursue a range of options.

Board could request the reassignment, demotion, dismissal or possible prosecution


of personnel associated with the fraud or corruption or blocking of funds.
