(International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure Introduction to Accounting Financial accounting is a specific branch of accounting involving a process of recording, summarising, and reporting the myriad of transactions resulting from business operations over a period of time. These transactions are summarised in the preparation of financial statements—including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement—that record a company’s operating performance over a specified period. Companies engage in financial accounting for a number of important reasons: a) Encouraging transparency: By setting rules and requirements, financial accounting forces companies to disclose certain information on how operations are going, and what risks the company is facing, painting an accurate picture of financial performance regardless of how well or poorly the company is doing. b) Enabling comparability: By delineating a standard set of rules for preparing financial statements, financial accounting creates consistency across reporting periods and different companies, thereby facilitating meaningful comparison. c) Decreasing risk: Financial accounting does this by increasing accountability. Lenders, regulatory bodies, tax authorities, and other external parties rely on financial information; financial accounting ensures that reports are prepared using acceptable methods that hold companies accountable for their performance. d) Aiding management: Though other methods such as managerial accounting may provide better insights, financial accounting can drive strategic concepts when a company analyses its financial results and makes investment decisions accordingly. e) Promoting trust: Independent governing bodies oversee the rules of financial accounting, making the basis of reporting independent of management and a highly reliable source of accurate information. Financial statements are used by a variety of groups and often required as part of agreements with the preparing company. In addition to management using financial accounting to gain information on operations, the following groups use such reporting: a) Investors: Before putting their money into a company, investors often seek reports prepared using financial accounting to understand how the company has been doing and set expectations about the company’s future. b) Auditors: Companies may be required to present their financial position to auditors, who analyse the financial statements and ensure that proper financial accounting guidance has been used and the reports are free from material misstatements. c) Regulatory agencies: Public companies are required to submit financial statements to governing bodies. These financial statements must be prepared in accordance with financial accounting rules, and companies face fines or exchange delisting if they do not comply with reporting requirements.

(International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure d) Suppliers: Vendors or suppliers may ask for financial statements as part of their credit application process. Suppliers may require a credit history or evidence of profitability before issuing or increasing credit to a requested amount. e) Banks: Lenders and other similar financial institutions will almost always require financial statements as part of the business loan process. Lenders will need to see verifiable proof via financial accounting that a company is in good operational health prior to issuing a loan. The statements may also be used for determining the cost, lending terms, or interest rate of the loan. Double-Entry System Double entry is a bookkeeping and accounting method, which states that every financial transaction has equal and opposite effects in at least two different accounts. It is used to satisfy the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. With a double-entry system, credits are offset by debits in a general ledger or T-account. In the double-entry accounting system, transactions are recorded in terms of debits and credits. A credit is an entry that increases a liability account or decreases an asset account. A debit is the opposite—it is an entry that increases an asset account or decreases a liability account. Since a debit in one account offsets a credit in another, the sum of all debits must equal the sum of all credits. Essentially, the representation equates all uses of capital (assets) to all sources of capital (where debt capital leads to liabilities and equity capital leads to shareholders’ equity). For a company to keep accurate accounts, every single business transaction will be represented in at least two of the accounts. Because there are two or more accounts affected by every transaction carried out by a company, the accounting system is referred to as double-entry accounting. This practice ensures that the accounting equation always remains balanced; that is, the left side value of the equation will always match the right side value. The double-entry system of bookkeeping standardises the accounting process and improves the accuracy of prepared financial statements, allowing for improved detection of errors. Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 1 — Presentation of Financial Statements Purpose of financial statements Financial statements are a structured representation of the financial position and financial performance of an entity. The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. Financial statements also show the results of the management’s stewardship of the resources entrusted to it. Page 2 of 55 Financial Accounting (BIAF101-1) – 1st Semester B.Com. (International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure To meet this objective, financial statements provide information about an entity’s assets; liabilities; equity; income and expenses, including gains and losses; contributions by and distributions to owners in their capacity as owners; and cash flows. This information, along with other information in the notes, assists users of financial statements in predicting the entity’s future cash flows and, in particular, their timing and certainty. A complete set of financial statements comprises: a) a balance sheet as at the end of the period; b) a statement of profit and loss for the period; c) a statement of changes in equity for the period; d) a statement of cash flows for the period; e) notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information; and f) comparative information in respect of the preceding period. General features a) True and fair view: Ind AS 1 requires entities to present financial statements fairly, which means that the financial statements must be free from material misstatements and errors. Fair presentation also requires entities to provide adequate disclosures in the notes to the financial statements, which helps to ensure that users have a complete understanding of the financial statements. b) Going concern: An entity shall prepare financial statements on a going concern basis, i.e. on the assumption that the entity will continue to operate for the foreseeable future (unless the management intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so). This allows financial statements to be prepared on a basis that assumes the entity will continue to operate, which is important for making meaningful financial projections and evaluating an entity’s long-term viability. c) Accrual basis of accounting: An entity shall prepare its financial statements, except for cash flow information, using the accrual basis of accounting. Accrual accounting recognises revenues and expenses when they are earned or incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. This provides a more accurate picture of an entity’s financial performance and position. d) Materiality and aggregation: An entity shall present each material class of similar items separately. An entity shall present items of a dissimilar nature or function separately unless they are immaterial. Further, if a line item in the financial statements is not individually material, it is aggregated with other items either in those statements or in the notes. An item is material if its omission or misstatement could individually or collectively influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the Page 3 of 55 Financial Accounting (BIAF101-1) – 1st Semester B.Com. (International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure financial statements. This principle ensures that financial statements focus on information that is relevant and useful to users. e) Offsetting: An entity shall not offset assets and liabilities or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by an Ind AS. An entity reports separately both assets and liabilities, and income and expenses. Offsetting in the statement of profit and loss or balance sheet, except when offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event, detracts from the ability of users both to understand the transactions, other events and conditions that have occurred, and to assess the entity’s future cash flows. f) Frequency of reporting: An entity shall present a complete set of financial statements (including comparative information) at least annually. When an entity changes the end of its reporting period and presents financial statements for a period longer or shorter than one year, an entity shall disclose, in addition to the period covered by the financial statements: (i) the reason for using a longer or shorter period, and (ii) the fact that amounts presented in the financial statements are not entirely comparable. g) Comparative information: An entity shall present comparative information in respect of the preceding period for all amounts reported in the current period’s financial statements, except when Ind ASs permit or require otherwise. An entity shall include comparative information for narrative and descriptive information if it is relevant to understanding the current period’s financial statements. An entity shall present, as a minimum, two balance sheets, two statements of profit and loss, two statements of cash flows, and two statements of changes in equity, and related notes. h) Consistency: An entity shall retain the presentation and classification of items in the financial statements from one period to the next unless (i) it is apparent, following a significant change in the nature of the entity’s operations or a review of its financial statements, that another presentation or classification would be more appropriate having regard to the criteria for the selection and application of accounting policies; or (ii) an Ind AS requires a change in presentation. Other concepts and conventions a) Business entity concept: According to this concept, business is treated as a separate entity from its owners. The business records only those transactions which are not personal in nature. All the transactions are recorded in the books of accounts from the point of view of the business. For example, when capital is provided by the owner, the accounting record will show the business as having received so much money and as owing to the owner. Be it sole proprietorship, partnership, or joint stock company, the business is treated as a separate entity. Page 4 of 55 Financial Accounting (BIAF101-1) – 1st Semester B.Com. (International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure b) Money measurement concept: This accounting concept states that only financial transactions will find a place in accounting. So only those business activities that can be expressed in monetary terms will be recorded in accounting. Any other transaction, no matter how significant, will not find a place in financial accounting. c) Convention of conservatism: This accounting concept promotes prudence in accounting. It states that profit should not be included until it is actually realised. However, losses, even those not realised but likely to occur, should be recognised in the financial statements. In other words, the accountant should not anticipate future profits but provide for all possible future losses. The prime objective of this convention is to ensure that profit is not overstated. A higher disclosure of profit may lead to distribution of dividend, which leads to reduction of capital. This convention helps ascertaining the profit actually realised, and in conserving the entity’s capital. Basic Accounting Procedure The basic accounting procedure involves several steps to record and track financial transactions within a business. These steps include journal entries, ledgers, and the use of a cash book. Here’s an overview of each component: Journal entries Journal entries are the first step in the accounting process. They are used to record individual transactions in chronological order. Each journal entry consists of at least two parts: a debit entry and a credit entry. To decide which accounts to debit and credit in a transaction, consider the following basic rules: a) Increases in assets are debits; decreases are credits. b) Increases in liabilities are credits; decreases are debits. c) Increases in owner’s capital are credits; decreases are debits. d) Expenses and losses are debits; incomes and gains are credits. Ledgers After recording the journal entries, the next step is to transfer the information to the respective ledger accounts. A ledger is a collection of accounts that categorise and summarise similar transactions. Common ledger accounts include Cash/Bank, Trade Receivables, Trade Payables, Inventory, and various expense and revenue accounts. Each account in the ledger maintains a running balance of its respective transactions, which at any given point may be a net debit balance or a net credit balance. The ledger helps organise and present the financial information in a structured manner. Page 5 of 55 Financial Accounting (BIAF101-1) – 1st Semester B.Com. (International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure Cash book The cash book is a specialised ledger that focuses on recording cash transactions. It serves as a central repository for all cash inflows and outflows. Cash receipts from sales, loans, investments, or other sources are recorded as debit entries in the cash book, while cash payments for expenses, purchases, and other outflows are recorded as credit entries. The cash book provides an up-to-date record of the company’s cash position and helps reconcile cash balances with bank statements. Capital and revenue expenditure/ receipts Capital expenditure refers to the funds spent by a business to acquire, improve, or extend its capital assets. These assets are typically long-term in nature and provide benefits to the company over an extended period of time, beyond the current accounting period. Capital expenditures are not immediately consumed or exhausted, but rather they contribute to the long-term growth and operational efficiency of the business. Examples of capital expenditures include purchase of property, plant, and equipment; major repairs and improvements; and acquisition of intangible assets. Capital receipts represent funds received by a business that affect its capital structure or increase its long-term liabilities or equity. These receipts are not related to the regular operations of the business and have a long-term impact. Capital receipts are typically generated from activities such as issue of share capital and long-term loans. Revenue expenditure refers to the expenses incurred by a business in its day-to-day operations to generate revenue and maintain its ongoing activities. These expenses are typically short-term in nature and are consumed or exhausted within the current accounting period. Revenue expenditures are necessary to sustain the regular operations of the business and do not result in the acquisition of long-term assets. Examples of revenue expenditures include salaries and wages, rent and utilities, advertising and marketing expenses, and cost of goods sold. Revenue receipts represent funds received by a business as a result of its regular operations or activities. These receipts are generated from the core revenue-generating activities of the business. Examples of revenue receipts include sales revenue, rental income, and interest income. Understanding the distinction between capital and revenue expenditures and receipts is crucial for proper classification in accounting and financial reporting. Capital expenditures and receipts are related to long-term investments and changes in the capital structure, while revenue expenditures and receipts are associated with day-to-day operational expenses and revenue generation.

(International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 1: Overview of Accounting Principles and Procedure Trial balance A trial balance is a statement that lists the balances of all the ledger accounts of a company at a specific point in time. It is prepared as a part of the accounting cycle and serves as a preliminary step before the preparation of financial statements. The trial balance summarises the debit and credit balances of each account to ensure that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) is in balance. It's important to note that while a balanced trial balance indicates that the total debits equal the total credits, it does not guarantee that the financial statements are error-free or accurate. In other words, the trial balance is a useful tool for initial verification but is not a definitive proof of accuracy. Rectification of errors While recording transactions and events, various errors may be committed by an accountant unintentionally. Some of these errors affect the trial balance, and some of these do not have any impact on the trial balance although such errors may affect the determination of profit or loss or assets and liabilities of the business. There are two types of errors: a) Errors of principle: When a transaction is recorded in contravention of accounting principles, such as treating purchase of an asset as an expense, it is an error of principle. In this case, there is no effect on the trial balance since the amounts are placed on the correct side, though in a wrong account. b) Clerical errors: These errors arise because of mistakes committed in the ordinary course of accounting work. These are of three types: - Errors of omission: where a transaction is completely or partially omitted from the books of account, e.g. not recording a credit purchase of furniture or not posting an entry into the ledger. - Errors of commission: where an amount is posted in the wrong account, or is written on the wrong side, or the totals are wrong, or a wrong balance is struck. - Compensating errors: where the effect of the errors committed cancel out. Even if there is only a very small difference in the trial balance, the errors leading to it must be located and rectified. This should ideally be done before the final accounts are drawn. Preparation of Statement of Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet Final accounts are prepared to show the periodic performance of a business entity and its financial position at the end of such period. Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet are generally prepared for such purposes. In some cases, the Profit and Loss Account is sub- divided into various parts: Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account, and Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.

(International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 4: Valuation of Goodwill and Shares Goodwill Goodwill is an intangible asset that represents the present value of a firm’s anticipated excess earnings. In the words of Spices and Pegler, “Goodwill may be said to be that element arising from the reputation, connection, or other advantages possessed by a business which enables it to earn greater profits than the return normally to be expected on the capital represented by the net tangible assets employed in the business.” The two common circumstances in which the valuation of goodwill takes place are: a) Acquisition of a business: When one company purchases another company, any excess payment made over the fair value of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets is recognised as goodwill; and b) Consolidation of subsidiaries: When a parent company owns controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries, the value of the subsidiaries' net assets is consolidated; if the consolidated value exceeds the price paid for acquiring the subsidiaries, the excess is recognised as goodwill. Since goodwill of a business represents its capacity to earn above normal profits, all factors that contribute to such profits influence the value of goodwill. Key factors include: a) Favourable location; b) Brand recognition (a strong and recognisable brand that commands customer loyalty); c) Customer relationships (a loyal customer base and long-term customer relationships); d) Ownership of intellectual property (patents, copyrights, trademarks, or proprietary technology that provide a competitive advantage); e) Experienced and efficient management, talented and skilled workforce; f) Record of past profits; g) Other factors such as favourable market position, industry trends, overall economic climate, political stability, government policies, trade cycle, future prospects, etc. Goodwill—Average Profit Method a) Adjusted profits* of agreed no. of pre-valuation years are averaged (simple/ weighted) b) Goodwill = ‘x’ years’ purchase of average profit (multiplication) (‘x’ represents no. of years’ benefit from past association expected to be derived) * Computation of adjusted/ future/ maintainable profit Profits xxx (+) Abnormal losses/ expenses not likely to recur xx (+) Likely future profits, e.g. from new line of business xx (-) Expenses not provided earlier but to be incurred in the future (xx) (-) Profits not likely to recur (xx)_ Adjusted profit xxx_ Page 30 of 55 Financial Accounting (BIAF101-1) – 1st Semester B.Com. (International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 4: Valuation of Goodwill and Shares Question 4.1 P Ltd. proposed to purchase the business carried on by Mr. R. For this purpose, goodwill is agreed to be valued at three years’ purchase of the (i) simple average profits and (ii) weighted average profits of the past four years. The appropriate weights to be used are: 2021—1 2022—2 2023—3 2024—4 The profits (in ₹) for these years are: 2021—1,01,000 2022—1,24,000 2023—1,00,000 2024—1,50,000 On a scrutiny of the accounts, the following observations were made: (a) On 1 September 2023, a major repair of ₹30,000 was made to the plant, the amount being charged to revenue. Plant is depreciated at 10% using the WDV method. (b) The closing stock for 2022 was over-valued by ₹12,000. (c) Additional management cost of ₹24,000 p.a. is expected to be incurred from 2025. Compute the value of goodwill of Mr. R’s firm. Goodwill—Capitalisation of Average Profit Method a) Ascertain average adjusted/ future/ maintainable profit b) Capitalise this profit at the suitable rate of return for the business under consideration c) Compute net tangible assets (assets, excluding fictitious assets, less outside liabilities) d) Goodwill = difference between (b) and (c) Question 4.2 Ascertain the value of goodwill of Q Ltd. carrying on business as retail traders from the following information (as on 31 December 2023) according to capitalisation method: Credit balances ₹ Debit balances ₹ Equity shares (₹100 each) 2,50,000 Goodwill 25,000 Surplus account 56,650 Land and building 1,10,000 Bank overdraft 58,350 Plant and machinery 1,00,000 Sundry creditors 90,500 Stock 1,50,000 Provision for taxation 19,500 Book debts 90,000 4,75,000 4,75,000 The company’s profits before tax (in ₹) were as follows: 2019: 61,000 2020: 64,000 2021: 71,500 2022: 78,000 2023: 85,000 You may assume that income-tax at the rate of 50% was payable on these profits. The average dividend paid by the company for the four years is 10%, which is considered a reasonable return on the capital invested in the business.

Valuation of Shares There are many circumstances in which a valuation of shares (other than par value) may be required, especially when such shares are not quoted on a stock exchange, such as: a) When amalgamation or absorption of companies takes place; b) When a private company decides to offer its shares to the public for the first time; c) When a company establishes a plan to provide stock ownership to its employees; d) When one class of shares is converted into another class; e) When a company is nationalised or privatised; f) When shares are to be provided as security for loans and advances; g) For shareholder disputes or legal proceedings involving shares; h) When a block of shares is purchased or sold; or i) For tax computation or regulatory reporting purposes. Valuation of shares is influenced by various factors that can vary depending on the specific company and market conditions. General factors include profitability, revenue growth, earnings stability, future cash flows, dividend policy, industry factors (market demand, competition, regulatory environment, and economic trend), management reputation, risk factors (volatility, debt, and operational risks), investor sentiment, and market perception.

(International Accountancy and Finance) Unit 4: Valuation of Goodwill and Shares Compute the value of the company’s shares under the fair value method if shares of similar companies quoted in the stock exchange yield a return of 12%. Goodwill of the company may be taken at ₹1,00,000. Right Issue Right issue means offering shares to existing members in proportion to their existing shareholding. The objective of a right issue is to ensure equitable distribution of shares. Shares under a right issue are usually offered at a price lower than the prevalent market price. A shareholder who is short of funds can renounce his right to a specified number of shares by selling his right to a third-party subscriber of shares. Value of Right = Cum-right market price – Issue price of new share__ No. of existing shares required for one right share + 1 Value of Ex-Right Share = (Cum-right market price x No. of shares required) + Issue price No. of existing shares required for one right share + 1 = Cum-right market price – Value of right Question 4.12 A company offers to its shareholders the right to buy one share of ₹20 each at ₹41 for every two shares
