Study Notes

  • Financial statements of companies stem from:
    • Requirements of Schedule III to the companies act, 2013
    • Accounting standards notified by MCA
    • Other Statutory Requirements

Example 1

  • In the financial year 20X1-20X2, Alpha Ltd. mentioned in the notes to accounts that 24,000 equity shares of ₹10 each were issued as fully paid bonus shares however, the source was undisclosed
  • Schedule III has come into force for the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account for the financial year commencing on or after April 1st, 20X1
  • Part 1 of Schedule III states that a company should disclose in notes to accounts for the period of 5 years preceding the balance sheet date the aggregate number and class of shares allotted as fully paid-up bonus shares
  • Schedule III does not require a company to disclose the source from which bonus shares have been issued therefore, the non-disclosure does not violate Schedule III to the Companies Act

Example 2

  • Loyal Ltd.'s management believe the work in process is not valued since it is difficult to ascertain and opening and closing work in process would be the same
  • Accordingly, the management had not separately disclosed work in process in its financial statements.
