Introduction: Theory
7. Accounting Cycle [1st important]***********
An accounting cycle is the collective process of identifying, analyzing, and recording the accounting events
of a company. The series of steps begins when a transaction occurs and end with its inclusion in the
financial statements. Additional accounting records used during the accounting cycle include the general
ledger and trial balance.
Steps in the accounting cycle
#1 Transactions
Transactions: Financial transactions start the process. If there are no financial transactions, there would be
nothing to keep track of. Transactions may include a debt payoff, any purchases or acquisition of assets,
sales revenue, or any expenses incurred.
#2 Journal Entries
Journal Entries: With the transactions set in place, the next step is to record these entries in the company‘s
journal in chronological order. In debiting one or more accounts and crediting one or more accounts, the
debits and credits must always balance.
#3 Posting to the General Ledger (GL)
Posting to the GL: The journal entries are then posted to the general ledger where a summary of all
transactions to individual accounts can be seen.
#4 Trial Balance
Trial Balance: At the end of the accounting period (which may be quarterly, monthly, or yearly depending
on the company), a total balance is calculated for the accounts.
#5 Worksheet
Worksheet: When the debits and credits on the trial balance don‘t match, the bookkeeper must look for
errors and make corrective adjustments that are tracked on a worksheet.
#6 Adjusting Entries
Adjusting Entries: At the end of the company‘s accounting period, adjusting entries must be posted to
account for accruals and deferrals.
#7 Financial Statements
Financial Statements: The balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement can be prepared using
the correct balances.
#8 Closing
Closing: The revenue and expense accounts are closed and zeroed out for the next accounting cycle. This is
because revenue and expense accounts are income statement accounts, which show performance for a
specific period. Balance sheet accounts are not closed because they show the company‘s financial position
at a certain point in time.

9. Accrual basis [2nd Important]**********


Accrual basis is a method of recording accounting transactions for revenue when earned
and expenses when incurred.
Under the accrual basis of accounting (or accrual method of accounting), revenues are reported on the
income statement when they are earned. When the revenues are earned but cash is not received, the asset
accounts receivable will be recorded. (Under the cash basis of accounting, revenues are not reported on the
income statement until the cash is received.)
Also under the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are reported on the income statement when they
match up with the revenues being reported, or when a cost has no future benefit that can be measured.
When an expense occurs and cash has not yet been paid, a liability account will also be recorded. (The
expenses that were not paid in the current accounting period will be reported through adjusting entries.)
In other words, under the accrual basis of accounting, the receipt of cash and the payment of cash are not
the focus of reporting revenues and expenses. Rather the focus is: 1) what revenues were earned, and 2)
what expenses were incurred. Therefore, the accrual basis of accounting provides a more accurate measure
of a company's profitability during an accounting period, and a more accurate picture of a company's assets
and liabilities at the end of an accounting period.
A key advantage of the accrual basis is that it matches revenues with related expenses, so that the complete
impact of a business transaction can be seen within a single reporting period.
Auditors will only certify financial statements if they have been prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting.

11. Entity Concept: [1st important]********


The business entity concept (also known as separate entity and economic entity concept) states that the
transactions related to a business must be recorded separately from those of its owners and any other
business.
Entity concept, in nature, is just reverse of proprietary concept. In this concept enterprise is viewed as a
distinct unit completely separate from its owners and all the accounting activities are centred around the
enterprise instead of its owners. Even the proprietor who is the supplier of capital is identified as one of the
creditors of the entity (enterprise). So capital is treated as a liability like other liabilities of the business.

12. Money measurement Concept: [3rd important]****


The money measurement concept states that a business should only record an accounting transaction if it
can be expressed in terms of money. This means that the focus of accounting transactions is on quantitative
information, rather than on qualitative information. Thus, a large number of items are never reflected in a
company's accounting records, which means that they never appear in its financial statements. Examples of
items that cannot be recorded as accounting transactions because they cannot be expressed in terms of
money include:
(a) Employee skill level
(b) Employee working conditions
(c) Expected resale value of a patent
(d) Value of an in-house brand
(e) Product durability
(f) The quality of customer support or field service
(g) The efficiency of administrative processes

13. Going concern Concept: [1st important]******


The going concern concept of accounting implies that the business entity will continue its operations in the
future and will not liquidate or be forced to discontinue operations due to any reason. A company is a going
concern if no evidence is available to believe that it will or will have to cease its operations in foreseeable
future.
An example of the application of going concern concept of accounting is the computation of depreciation
on the basis of expected economic life of fixed assets rather than their current market value.
Companies assume that their business will continue for an indefinite period of time and the assets will be
used in the business until fully depreciated. Another example of the going concern assumption is the
prepayment and accrual of expenses. Companies prepay and accrue expenses because they believe that they
will continue operations in future.

Unit 3: Acct Standard & Acct theory [5 + 5]


23. What is Accounting Standards? [1st imp]******
Accounting Standards (i.e. AS 1~32) are issued/ amended by the Accounting Standards Board of ICAI
from time to time, to establish uniform standards for preparation of financial statements, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP) in India and for better understanding of the users.
These standards are mandatory on the dates specified either in the respective document or by notification
issued by the Council of the ICAI.
Accounting Standards (AS) are basic policy ]documents. Their main aim is to ensure transparency,
reliability, consistency, and comparability of the financial statements. They do so by standardizing
accounting policies and principles of a nation/economy. So the transactions of all companies will be
recorded in a similar manner if they follow these accounting standards.

24. Benefits of Accounting Standards [1st imp]******


Accounting Standards are the ruling authority in the world of accounting. It makes sure that the information
provided to potential investors is not misleading in any way. Let us take a look at the benefits of AS.
[1] Attains Uniformity in Accounting
Accounting Standards provides rules for standard treatment and recording of transactions. They even have
a standard format for financial statements. These are steps in achieving uniformity in accounting methods.
[2] Improves Reliability of Financial Statements
There are many stakeholders of a company and they rely on the financial statements for their information.
Many of these stakeholders base their decisions on the data provided by these financial statements. Then
there are also potential investors who make their investment decisions based on such financial statements.
So it is essential these statements present a true and fair picture of the financial situation of the company.
The Accounting Standards (AS) ensure this. They make sure the statements are reliable and trustworthy.
[3] Prevents Frauds and Accounting Manipulations
Accounting Standards (AS) lay down the accounting principles and methodologies that all entities must
follow. One outcome of this is that the management of an entity cannot manipulate with financial data.
Following these standards is not optional, it is compulsory.
So these standards make it difficult for the management to misrepresent any financial information. It even
makes it harder for them to commit any frauds.
[4] Assists Auditors
Now the accounting standards lay down all the accounting policies, rules, regulations, etc in a written
format. These policies have to be followed. So if an auditor checks that the policies have been correctly
followed he can be assured that the financial statements are true and fair.
[5] Comparability
This is another major objective of accounting standards. Since all entities of the country follow the same set
of standards their financial accounts become comparable to some extent. The users of the financial
statements can analyze and compare the financial performances of various companies before taking any
decisions.
Also, two statements of the same company from different years can be compared. This will show the
growth curve of the company to the users.
[6] Determining Managerial Accountability
The accounting standards help measure the performance of the management of an entity. It can help
measure the management‘s ability to increase profitability, maintain the solvency of the firm, and other
such important financial duties of the management.
Management also must wisely choose their accounting policies. Constant changes in the accounting
policies lead to confusion for the user of these financial statements. Also, the principle of consistency and
comparability are lost.

26. Need for a Global Accounting Standard. [2nd imp]**


International community has long back recognised the need for moving towards harmonisation of the
accounting standard across the globe. Obviously an individual country is always entitled to customize the
existing international accounting Standards according to its specific needs. Among other advantages of
harmonisation of accounting standards, the two benefits which tops the list are
(a) systematic review and evaluation of the performance of the multinational company having
subsidiaries and associates in various countries wherein each country has its own set of GAAP and
(b) It provides a level playing fields where no country is advantaged or disadvantaged because of its
GAAP
The Need for Harmonization
This harmonization is needed due to the globalization of businesses and services and increase in cross-
border investments and borrowings. Some of the benefits of harmonization are as under:
(a) It ensures reliable and high quality financial reporting and disclosures.
(b) In certain cases, it can prove to be crucial to the economic and financial development of a country
(c) It enables a systematic review and evaluation of the performance of a multinational company
having subsidiaries and associates in various countries wherein each country has its own set of
GAAP
(d) It makes the comparison of the performance of a company against its domestic and international
peers easier and more meaningful
(e) It adds to the international credibility of a company
(f) It is a precursor for accessing international capital markets which can, in turn, reduce the capital
cost and consequently, improve the performance of a company
(g) It provides a level playing field where no country is advantaged or disadvantaged by its GAAP.

27. Write a short Note on IFRS [2nd imp]******


What are International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)?
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) set common rules so that financial statements can be
consistent, transparent and comparable around the world. IFRS are issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB). They specify how companies must maintain and report their accounts, defining
types of transactions and other events with financial impact. IFRS were established to create a common
accounting language, so that businesses and their financial statements can be consistent and reliable from
company to company and country to country.
Understanding International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
IFRS are designed to bring consistency to accounting language, practices and statements, and to help
businesses and investors make educated financial analyses and decisions. The IFRS Foundation sets the
standards to ―bring transparency, accountability and efficiency to financial markets around the world,
fostering trust, growth and long-term financial stability in the global economy.‖ Companies benefit from
the IFRS because investors are more likely to put money into a company if the company's business
practices are transparent.

36. “Income is considered to be earned while capital is


maintained intact” Discuss [3rd Important]
OR
Write short notes on: Capital maintenance concepts
What is Capital Maintenance:
Capital maintenance is an accounting concept based on the principle that income is only recognized after a
full recovery of costs has been achieved or capital has been maintained. Capital maintenance has been
reached when the amount of a company's capital at the end of a period is unchanged from that at the
beginning of the period, with any excess amount treated as profit.
So maintenance of capital is closely related to the measurement of income and this is known as the Capital
Maintenance Approach of income. As per this approach before ascertaining the income, capital consumed
in the accounting period must be recovered and kept intact. This is to be done by deducting the capital at
the beginning of the accounting period from the capital at the end of the said period. If the closing capital is
more than the opening capital the capital of the firm is said to be intact. This concept is also known as
Balance Sheet Approach to the income measurement.
J.J. Forker said, "The capital maintenance concept is viewed merely as a neutral benchmark to be used in
determining the surplus which accrues to shareholders as income."
The two basic subsections of capital maintenance are financial capital maintenance and physical capital
maintenance.
There are three concepts of maintenance of capital. They are:
(i) Financial Capital Maintenance:
As per this concept the money value or recorded value of capital i.e. the amount of investment
originally made by the owners is maintained intact. Under this view income is the excess amount of
cash or equivalent received by the firm over the amount invested by owners. Income is determined
by finding out the difference between the money value of the wealth of the firm at the end and at the
beginning of the year. If the difference is positive in favour of closing value it is income or profit, in
the reverse, case it is loss.
(ii) Physical or Operating Capital Maintenance:
In this concept emphasis is put on the maintenance of the productive or operating capacity of the
enterprise. The followers of this concept state that the capital to be recovered is the current or
replacement costs of assets with same productive capacity as the present assets.
(iii) General Purchasing Power Financial Capital maintenance:
In this concept instead of money value of financial capital the general purchasing power of financial
capital is recovered to combat the problems of capital maintenance arising out of price level changes.
For taking into account the changes in value of money monetary financial capital or historical cost of
assets is continuously updated. Under this view income is determined by finding out the difference
between closing capital and capital at the beginning as is done in case of financial capital
maintenance concept. But in this concept the historical cost of both opening and closing capital are
expressed in terms of general purchasing power.

37. Limitations of Historic Cost accounting: [2nd imp]**


The following are the main limitations of historical accounts:
(a) Utility of accounting records seriously impaired: Financial statements or reports based on
historical cost fail to reflect the effect of such changes in purchasing power on the financial position
and profitability of the firm. Financial statements may be incorrectly interpreted unless adjustments
are made to place the data on the current price level.
(b) Unrealistic profits: Under the historical accounting system, depreciation calculated on the basis of
historical cost of old assets is usually lower than that of those calculated at current value or
replacement value. This results in more profits on paper.
(c) Insufficient provision of depreciation: Under the historical accounting system, depreciation is
calculated on the original cost of fixed assets with the result that only an amount equivalent to the
original cost of the fixed assets is available for its replacement when its life is over. But the
replacement cost of the asset will be more than the original cost on account of inflation.
(d) Fixed assets values are unrealistic: In times of rising prices, the conventional system of accounts
based on historical cost does not give a true and fair view of the business enterprise as is required
under the Companies Act, 1956 as fixed assets are shown at their historical cost and not at current
values.
(e) Different bases: In conventional system of accounting fixed assets are shown at the historical costs
whereas operating expenses and incomes are taken at current prices. Thus, different bases adopted are
not desirable for having correct and reliable information about the business.
(f) Return on capital employed misleading: Under historical cost accounting system the profits are
overstated and fixed assets are understated specially when there is increase in the price of the old fixed
assets. Such return on capital employed may lead to misleading decisions.
(g) Matching principle violated: Sales are shown at current purchasing power of the rupee while
stocks are shown at cost or market price, whichever is lower. Thus, profit disclosed by financial
accounting based on historical cost during inflation does not represent increase in wealth of the
business in terms of current purchasing power
(h) Difficulty in comparison of profitability of two plants: In case of price level changes,
comparison of profitability of two plants set up at different dates becomes difficult.
(i) Violation of the law of additivity: During inflation accounting data may not be additive. It is
argued that data may be added or subtracted if the purchasing power of the currency remains the same.
Since the value of the rupee does not remain the same on account of price level changes, the additivity
and subtraction of accounting data does not give meaningful results and violates the law of additivity.
(j) Mixing up holding gains and operating gains: Historical cost accounting mixes up the holding
gains and operating gains and does not help to take proper decision.
(k) Misleading inter-period and inter-firm comparison: For the purpose of inter-period and inter-
firm comparison, ratios are to be calculated. Financial ratios calculated based on historical costs will
not give correct view. No meaningful information will be available for correct decisions.
From the above discussion, it is clear that conventional accounting based on historical cost has outlived its
utility when prices are changing frequently. To overcome the drawbacks of conventional accounting, the
adoption of accounting for changing prices is advocated.

38. Introduction to Fair Value accounting: [1st imp]****


During the last few years it has been noticed that the basis of accounting is changing. For a long period of
time, accountants were used to record different assets and liabilities at their historical cost. Although this
method of recording assets and liabilities are meaningful when there is no change in the price level. To
overcome the weakness of historical cost method of recording assets and liabilities, many national and
international accounting standards body have moved towards a fair value approach.
Definition
Fair value is defined in IAS 39 as ―The amount for which asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled,
between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm‘s length transaction.‖
Features
1. Fair value incorporates market information into the financial statements. The information contained
in the financial statements are useful to investors as all the values of assets and liabilities are close
to ‗current‘ values at the Balance Sheet date.
2. It focuses on the fair value of assets and liabilities.
3. Fair value is Balance Sheet based. The result of changes in the carrying values of assets and
liabilities are reflected in the Profit and Loss Statement.
4. Fair value accounting meets the conceptual framework criteria in terms of qualitative
characteristics of accounting information.
Advantages
1. Fair value accounting reflects present economic conditions relating to economic resources and
obligations.
2. The values of assets and liabilities are represented faithfully in the Balance Sheet which in turn
helps the investors to take informed decision.
3. Fair value accounting is unbiased.
4. Fair value accounting enhances consistency because it measures all assets and liabilities, acquired
or incurred during different periods, using the same base.
5. The use of fair value accounting would minimise the undesirable effects of the mixed measurement
approach to financial reporting as we use today.
Limitations
1. In a stable economy, this method of accounting is not cost effective.
2. There is no clear definition of fair value
3. Fair value of assets and liabilities may widely vary with future outlook of the economic condition
of the country. For example, during economic boom a plot of land of one acre could be sold for ₹
10 crore but during recession it may not fetch even ₹ 6 crore. Therefore, the reported profit will
fluctuate widely which may misguide the investors.
4. Management may not be in a position to fix fair value of highly technology based assets. For
example, valuation of 2G / 3G spectrum.
5. Lack of verifiability reduces the confidence of the investors.

Balancing System. [3rd imp]
The following are the main advantages of sectional and self- balancing ledgers:
(a) Errors are easily located.
(b) The total amount receivable from trade debtors and the total amount payable to trade creditors can be easily
known from Total' accounts of 'Adjustment' accounts.
(c) A number of clerks can simultaneously work at ledgers and consequently the work of preparing ledger
accounts can be made in a comparatively short period of time.

frauds are minimised,
(e) As each ledger is maintained by different set of persons and it is possible to fix responsibility in case some
errors are found in some ledgers.
(f) It is possible to obtain a regular or day by day progress of various items of expenditure and income.
But there are the following disadvantages also:
(a) Additional columns have to be maintained in subsidiary books which involve more clerical work,
(b) For small concerns the systems is too costly as compared to their advantages.
