company law-documentary evidence

documentary evidence means any document (paper) which is presented and allowed as evidence in a trial or hearing, as distinguished from oral testimony. However, the opposing attorney may object to its being admitted. In the first place, it must be proved by other evidence from a witness that the paper is genuine (called "laying a foundation"), as well as pass muster over the usual objections such as relevancy.

auditing-meaning of vouchers

A voucher is an accounting document representing an internal intent to make a payment to an external entity, such as a vendor or service provider. A voucher is produced usually after receiving a vendor invoice, after the invoice is successfully matched to a purchase order. A voucher will contain detailed information regarding the payee, the monetary amount of the payment, a description of the transaction, and more. In Accounts Payable systems, a process called a "payment run" is executed to generate payments corresponding to the unpaid vouchers. These payments can then be released or held at the discretion of an Accounts Payable supervisor or the company Controller. The term can also be used with reference to accounts receivable, where it is also a document representing intent to make an adjustment to an account, and for the general ledger where there is need to adjust accounts within that ledger; in that case it is referred to as a journal voucher.

compamy law-special points to be consider while purchase of business

A few points as a course of initial observations to be considered while acquiring company-
1)      NET WORTH: The first and crucial aspect that is to be considered while acquiring a company is the net worth. The most influential factor regarding the payment of purchase consideration) PC will depends upon the value of net worth of the company.
 
ü  If the value of net worth is positive, then it will not lead to much discussion in the fixation of PC. Based upon the future economic benefits, large scale of operations and other taxation benefits accruing to the company the payment of PC more than its net worth will depends.
ü  If the net worth of the company is negative then we have to consider the reasonableness and factors satisfying payment of PC to a negative net worth company.
Generally, the reasons will be –
Ø  Synergy benefits after acquiring the company as a whole and new customers accruing to the existing business
Ø  Forecast of Expected future cash flows may be positive or
Ø  The company is in gestation period and will give future economic benefits once it starts its commercial production
In order to know the correctness of financials of the company (Required for calculation of net worth) we can go for a due diligence audit.
2)      Captive Intensive: Generally the service organizations are non-captive incentive contrary for other companies. Because the value of service organizations depends upon the quality of personnel it is hiring. The risk is less in acquiring captive incentive company than the non – captive organizations. The reason is because even though the merger is not successful the purpose for which we have acquired, still we can gain something by selling its assets.
3)      Ratios:  Analysis of the ratios from the financials of the targeted company plays a major for acquisition. The following ratios we can consider like – operating profit ratio, current ratio, absolute liquid ratio, proprietary ratio, solvency ratio, fixed assets-current ratio….. etc.,
Generally there is a belief among many people that current ratio cannot be less than one (Working capital can’t be negative), they feel it is not good for the running a business. But the above view is partially correct, even though current ratio is less than one still we can manage if we have good cash/bank balances
4)      Investments:  If the company is having investment (Whether it may be short term/long term (Trading or not) / Investment property), then we have to go for a fair valuation which will give a clear picture about the group.
Let us say for example ABC Ltd is having investments in its subs DEF Ltd, GHI Ltd, KLM Ltd and NOP Ltd.
In the financials of ABC Ltd (Stand alone), the investments of subs were generally presented at acquisition cost/Historical rate. So, in order to arrive at clear picture we have to go for fair valuation of investments.
The company which is not good individually may performs well at group level, if you are acquiring a company means you also acquiring the group companies in which the targeted company is interested.
 
5)      While analyzing the PAT of the companies we have to consider whether any extraordinary items were taken into account and its impact on the profit.
6)      The brand value, value added chains, industry profile, financial healthiness and other important points must be taken into account for acquiring a business.

Accounting Treatment of issue of shares on premium and discount
Some time a company can decide to issue of shares on premium or on discount. In both situations we must know the basic concept before doing any accounting treatment.
Issue of shares on premium
Issue of shares on premium means that if company wants to get more money of each share. Then the company can demand premium with the face value or nominal value of shares. This is called issue of shares on premium. Suppose if the face value of shares is RS.100 Company can issue of his 10000 @ Rs. 105 it means company is also demanding RS. 5 per share as premium. According to new amendments in Company law 1956, Company must open security premium account, if co. issue shares on premium. All money which got with name of premium will transfer to security premium account . The following entry will passed in the books of company

For the due of share Allotment money
1.Shares Allotment Account Debit xxxx ( with the total amount )
Shares Capital Account Credit xxxx ( With the face value of shares)
Security Premium Account Credit xxxx( With the amount of premium)

2. For Allotment money Received
Bank Account Debit xxxx ( face value + Premium )
To Share Allotment Account xxxx
If company has demanded the premium with his call money from share holders , then on the place share allotment account we must write share call account , all other journal entry will be same.
According to Section 78 , We will use this fund according to guidelines of law.

Meaning of Issue of shares at discount :-
It means that company demands less amount than face value of shares .This less amount is called discount on issue of shares .
Journal entry of discount on issue of shares
When we receive allotment by giving discount on issue of share
1 Amount due of allotment
Share Allotment Account Debit xxxx( face value of allotment – discount)
Discount on issue of share account Debit xxxx( amount of discount)
To Share capital account
2. When allotment money actually received
Bank account debit xxx( face value of allotment –discount)
To share allotment account


Accounting treatment of issue of share for purchasing an fixed asset
In the situation when company want to buy any fixed asset , then company can issue shares to supplier of fixed asset .
At this time company pass the following journal entries :-

For purchasing fixed on credit
Fixed asset account debit xxx
Creditor account credit xxx
For issue of shares
Creditor account Debit xxx
Share Capital Account credit xxx
In case if company issue in premium or on discount to the suppliers of fixed asset . Then we first calculate the number of shares for doing any accounting treatment for this

In case of issue at premium

Numbers of shares
Value of Fixed asset
= ------------------------
Value of per share (Face value + premium)

In case if issue of shares at discount
Numbers of shares
Value of Fixed asset
= ------------------------
Value of per share (Face value – Discount per share)
After this the following journal entry will pass
Suppose xy company purchase the machinery of RS. 90000 by issue of shares at discount of shares of 10% if face value of share is RS.10
Journal entries
Machinery account debit 90000
Creditor account credit 90000
2 for issue shares to creditors at discount
No. of shares =90000/9 = 10000
Amount of discount =RS.10000

Creditor account Debit 90000
Discount on issue of share account debit 10000
Share capital account credit 100000
Suppose xy company purchase the machinery of RS. 120000 by issue of shares at Premium of shares of 20% if face value of share is RS.10
Journal entries
Machinery account debit 120000
Creditor account credit 120000
2 for issue shares to creditors at discount
No. of shares =120000/12 = 10000
Amount of Premium =RS.20000

Creditor account Debit 120000
Share capital account credit 100000
Security premium account credit 20000


Adjustment in company’s balance sheet for call in arrear
When a company makes the balance sheet after first time issue of shares. There may be the case of call in arrear.
In my earlier article, I have already explained call in arrear and call in advance. In this article, I want to explain, how you will do the adjustment in balance sheet for call in arrear. Call in arrear must be deduct from Called up capital
Called up Capital = Capital demanded at the time of Application + Allotment + and calls money
Less call in arrear = at the time of allotment and due date of call money
After deducting, it we can easily calculate paid up capital


Accounting Treatment of Call in arrear and call in advance
Call in Arrear
Call in arrear means company has demanded his due amount of allotment or call money but .But if shareholder does not pay his allotment money on due date it deems as call in arrear , this is the asset of company and it must deduct from call up capital for calculation paid up capital. If there is no any rule the company has right to get 5% interest on call in arrear.

Deep accounting treatment is divided in following parts

1st situation
Simple accounting treatment
In this situation shares issue at part and there is no pro-rata situation. So the following entry will pass

Share capital Account Debit (called up amount of forfeited shares
Share forfeited Account Credit (Amount received of forfeited shares)
Share call in arrear Account Credit (Amount did not receive of forfeited shares)

2nd Situation
When shares issue on discount and premium
Dear friend if shares are issue on premium or on discount, then if we did not receive the premium, then we write in journal entry otherwise we will not show security premium account in share forfeiture journal entry

Share capital Account Debit (called up amount of forfeited shares)
Security premium account Debit (If premium is not received from share holder)

Share forfeited Account Credit (Amount received of forfeited shares)
Share Allotment Account Credit (If allotment money is not received)
Share call in arrear Account Credit (Amount did not receive of forfeited shares)

In case shares are issued on discount
Share Capital Account Debit
Share Forfeiture Account Credit
Share Allotment Account Credit
Share call in arrear account credit
Discount on issue of shares account credit

3rd situation
When shares issue pro-rata base
In case there is also difficulty to calculate the net amount of allotment received in case some amount is not received and same person we have adjust some amount of share application.
Calculate the net amount of allotment received
Total amount of allotment money due xxxxxx
Less Adjustment with application
Money xxxxxx
_________________
Xxxxxx
Less Amount not received
As forfeited shares
Xxxxxxx

Less (-) xxxx
Perportion in
Not received amount
Of adjusted application
Money which is
We received in advance

Total not receive allotment
= ------------------------------- x Total adjustment of application money
Total Allotment money

________________________________
Net amount not received
In the form of allotment xxxxxxx (-) xxxx

______________________________ ____________
Net Amount received in the form of
Allotment xxxxx

The following journal entry will passed
Share capital account Debit (Called up capital)
Share forfeiture Account Credit (Total Amount received of forfeited shares)
Share Allotment Account Credit (Net amount not received in the form of allotment, for calculation of this amount you must understand and use above formula)
Share Call in Arrear Credit (if you are not received any call money of share forfeited)

4th situation
When shares fully reissue
Reissue means sale to any other person after forfeiting from previous share holder.
In this situation we can reissue of share in discount or premium. For doing this we have to pass the following journal entry
Bank Account Debit
Discount on issue of shares Debit
Share forfeiture account Debit (Discount on reissue of shares)
Share capital account Credit (Face value of reissue of shares)
Security premium Account Credit (If shares reissue at premium

So difference between amount received from forfeiture and discount on reissue share will go to capital reserve account and following entry will passed
Share forfeited account Debit
Capital reserve account credit
This capital reserve account will show in liability side of balance sheet of company.

5th situation
When Shares partly reissue
It is most difficult situation when you will see the question paper and you found the sum where is pro-rata situation , then share holder did not pay and then these forfeited shares party reissue to another share holder because
Above 4 situations will cover but in the 4th situation’s last journal entry will pass after making forfeiture account in working note because only the amount go to capital reserve which is sold or reissue gain other will go to balance of share forfeiture account upto that date until we reissue all shares.
Share forfeiture Account
Credit Side of this account
By share capital Account 2000
Suppose we get 100 shares forfeiture money received
Rs,20 per share
_________
2000
________ _
Debit Side of this account
To share capital account 250
Suppose we have reissue of 50 shares at reissue discount Rs.5

To capital Reserve account
We will calculate this amount after deducting the proportion of of this gain according to sold shares
2000 x 50/100 – 250 = 750
To balance C/d 1000
_____________________________
2000

Then following journal entry will pass
Share forfeiture account Debit 750
To capital Reserve Account Credit 750

Accounting Treatment of Provision for Income Tax
Before writing this article , I have studied deeply several books of accounting . Actually this type of provision is needed in Corporate type business . Because in the sole trade and partnership firm there is no treatment of provision for income tax and income tax paid because above two type business level , it is the duty of business man to pay income tax personally . So in above situation if he take any fund from business for paying income tax , it is deemed as drawing or other words we can say that his capital will reduce if you pick some amount for paying any income tax . No other treatment is done in sole trade or partner ship

Now In Case of Company or Corporate
I am giving you full detail of accounting treatment , if you have to do this type of work in any company .

Ist Step
Understanding the meaning of Company . I have already read on it see .
2nd Step
Understanding the meaning of provision of Income tax

In India , we all company pay income tax of previous year income . Means what we earn in last year we have to pay tax on next year that is called assessment year. But Under the law of Income tax , all company have to pay tax in advance .
So without actual earning we starts to estimate earning .
For Example
Suppose company can guess that it will earn RS. 5 crore in this year .
So on this advance guess company make his reserve or provision of income , it may be the 5% or 10% or 15% or 30% on his estimated income. This is called provision for income tax .
Now company Make the voucher entry of this provision by providing amount from profit and loss account
Profit and loss account Debit
Provision for income tax account Credit
After provision or estimated income tax , company submit his advance income tax return to income tax department ,
then pass the following entry
Advance Income tax account debit
Bank Account credit
After one year when income tax department calculate the real income tax by providing the real income position of company in previous year .

•Adjustment of actual income tax with provision
Actual income tax will adjust with provision of income tax by passing following adjustment entry
Provision for income tax account Debit
Income tax Account ( Actual after assessment ) credit

•We must calculate the difference between actual paid tax and ( advance + tds )
If advance and tds is more than actual tax , then income tax department return your excess tax paid
At this time two general entries will pass
1st transfer advance tax and tds to income tax account
Income tax account debit
Advance tax account Credit
Tds account Credit
2nd journal entry will pass for return the amount
Bank account debit
Income tax account credit
If advance and tds is less than actual tax , then income tax department demand more tax from you , and you will pay by following journal entry
1st transfer advance tax and tds to income tax account
Income tax account debit
Advance tax account Credit
Tds account Credit
2nd journal entry will pass for return the amount


Recent Trends in published accounts
Indian Company law 1956's section 210 , 216, and 217 binds board of directors of company to show profit and loss account and balance sheet of company and auditor's report's copies in annual general meeting of Company . All these reports are called annual reports of company . It is also compulsory for company to publish both in print and now in website also . These reports show the performance of company to public .
These days many companies are using charts and graphs for publishing their final accounts . Because , it is attractive and gives good impression to customers and interested people of company . Many charts are so popular and be successful for comparison of financial data of company .

•Due to advancement of Internet technology you can make charts and Graphs of production cost , sale , income and expenses classification and distribution of income into dividend and tax and present in website of Company .
For learning point of view I have made some chart of company's data . all these reports are made in excel or in online with Docs spreadsheet.

Accounting is very interesting subject .Simplicity is not the feature of accounting . Different complex problems , you will face in the field of accounting . Today , I am telling you about valuation of stock .Because businessmen buy different stock at different time at different cost . But when we will show our closing stock , we will face this problem . There have many rates at which we charge our cost of closing stock but I am giving you solution of this problem very simply
Suppose Rajpura alcon company buys raw material of wire at different cost but we this company records closing stock of this raw material , this company can use first in first out method for calculation of closing stock . This method is also called fifo . It means that the stock which bought first , it sent for sale first so last stock cost will the rate for calculating closing stock.

Management Accounting Part-I
Cash Flow Statement
When we compare two or more years total cash flow may be in three type of activities (i)In operating activities from one financial year to another financial year we can get cash from selling of goods , receiving the money or any other operating activities or we can outflow of cash in B/p , creditors or any buying of goods . So different can be said as net flow of operating activities .
(ii) Investing activities
You know very well that with two years any company can buy or sell any assets buying of fixed assets is outflow and selling any asset is inflow of cash difference of both is net cash flow from investing activities .
(iii) Financial activities
Financial activities are related to buying and selling of shares and debentures .Selling of shares and debenture is inflow of cash and opposite if company buys shares of other company , this is called outflow of shares .
After calculating all net inflow and this is called flow of cash and statement making for this is called cash flow statement .
Benefit is it only for cash management who wants to make different planning . An account manager easily calculate what is the real cash flow position . Company’s overall flow of cash is favorable or not . Some time cash book shows good current cash balance but a good account manager should investigate the overall flow of cash before buying high funded assets . This decision should be taken after complete analyzing of cash flow statement . Cash flow statement shows more outflow than inflow this is unbalanced situation .So be careful .

Q: Define inflation accounting or price level accounting ? what are the main method of price level accounting ? What are its main advantages and disadvantages ?
Ans : Definition of inflation
Inflation accounting is recording ,classifying and summarizing of all transaction on current or market cost and update recording amount according to time and changes .In price level accounting ,the value of money is changed , our balance sheet ‘s figure unit also changed .
Method of price level /Inflation accounting :-
1.Current purchasing power accounting
According to current purchasing power method , we calculate current cost with following method
I Take current price index
II Calculate
Current value of asset
= Value of asset (Actual basis ) X Current index / previous price index
For example
Record value of Rs. 40000 machine on inflation accounting basis if 2005 index 100 and 2006 price index =200
=40000x 200/180 =80000
B/S
Machine 80000
2. current cost accounting
In the current cost accounting following point must take in mind :-
1 value of fixed asset
Will be take on current cost
Not historical cost basis
2. stock will be taken on market cost basis
3. Transfer of difference between historical cost and current cost of asset to revaluation reserve account
4. Calculate current operating profit
3. Replacement cost accounting method
This method is just improvement of current purchasing price method .In replacement cost accounting , we calculate current value basis of respective asset price index
Suppose book value of machinery is 300000and price index of machinery is 2005 is 100 and 2006 is 300 then book value of furniture Rs. 200000 price index of furniture 2005=200 and 2006=400
Current value of machinery =300000x 300/100
Current value of furniture =200000x400/200
1. Current value accounting method
2. In current value accounting method , we take all asset of business in balance sheet on their current value




Definition of current ratio
This ratio is a relationship of current asset and current liabilities . It states the business current position to pay the current liabilities in time as when due .
There are two components of this ratio
current assets

1.cash in hand
2.cash at bank

5.bills receivable
6.stock in trade
7.prepaid exp.
current liabilities
1.sundry creditors

current ratio = current assets /current liabilities

Importance of Calculating Average Collection period and Average Payment period  Average collection period and and Average payment period is basic test of the business's good or bad activity or operation . This is the main part of financial analysis to calculate these type of ratio . Even a small business man want to time in which he gets his debt from his debtors in whole year . He also wants to know at what period he pays his creditors .

•These two ratios are the good symbol for calculating the efficiency and capacity of any type of organisation

•These two ratios are the good symbol for making good planning for increase or decrease working capital efficiently . Because working capital is more effected from sundry debtors and sundry creditors.
Lets start for calculating these two ratios

1.Average Collection Period
12 months or 365 days
= __________________
Debtors Turnover ratio
Because it is based on debtors turnover ratio . So we should also know debtor turnover ratio
Net Credit Sale
= _______________
Average Debtors amount
Average debtors amount is equal to sum of opening and closing debtors and after divide 2 , we can calculate the average debtors amount.

2. Average Payment Period
12 months or 365 days
= __________________
Creditors Turnover ratio
Because it is based on Creditors turnover ratio . So we should also know Creditors turnover ratio
Net credit Purchase
= _______________
Average Creditors amount
Average Creditors amount is equal to sum of opening and closing Creditors and after divide 2 , we can calculate the average Creditors amount.

What are Profitability Ratios Profitability ratios are so important , because of these ratios , we can take several decision for improving our business concern . These ratios tells us the basic relationship between profit and net sale . What amount of return we have receive on the basis of our sale . Is it good or not . If this is not good then what should we do in the improve actions of company.
There following main profitability ratios which is calculated in any company type of business.

1.Gross profitability ratio = Gross profit / Net Sale X 100
2.Operating Ratio = Operating Cost / Net Sale X 100
3.Operating Profit ratio = Operating Profit / Net Sale X 100
4.Net Profit ratio = Net profit / Net Sale X 100
5.Rate on Investment = Net profit before interest and tax / Capital Employed X 100
6.Earning Per Share (EPS)
Net profit after interest , tax and pref. dividend
= ____________________________________ X 100
Numbers of equity shares
7. Dividend Per Share (DPS ) Price Earning Ratio
Dividend on equity shares
= ____________________________________ X 100
Numbers of equity shares
8. Price Earning Ratio = current market price of share / earning per share

Definition of working Capital and benefits of its analysis As an accountant, you must know working the working capital and benefits of its analysis. Dear working capital means
excess of current asset over current liabilities. In other word. If your current assets are more than your current
liabilities. These more current assets are known as working capital. For doing your business with better way, the
business must have working capital every time. If you have more current assets than your current Liabilities , it means
you can buy your stock of business , you can pay your creditors . All time when your investor or any body who want to
give you loan will see you working capital . If your liquid capital is non , nobody will give you any debt or goods on
credit . So it is the duty of accountant of business . To make some working capital so that your business will grow
with the help of loan and debt. For this I am giving some tips.
Each time when you pass the voucher entry in tally or any other computer accounting software , then see what is the
position of your working capital.
If you see that there is no working capital, when current assets are equal to current liabilities , or current
liabilities are more than current assets this will be very serious position when working capital is in negative. At
this time, you must sell some fixed assets so that you can keep your working capital position in positive.
Never give goods on credit to any body who has not good dealing with you

Financial accounting, cost accounting and management accounting are interrelated because without co-ordination and co-
operation with each other, we will never succeed in achieving the objectives of business. Financial accounting provides
different financial statements. On these statements we calculate different cost, like cost of material, cost of labour,
and cost of overheads. On the basis we calculate cost of goods sold and then we include our profit margin in it and the
ascertain our product price. In management accounting, financial and cost accounting supply different useful accounting
information. On these accounting data manager makes the plans of business. Organize different works. Even standard
costing and budgeting is very useful toots for controlling the organization. In a business the requirement of funds has
to be carefully estimated. Certain funds are required for long term purpose investment in fixed assets etc. A careful
estimation of such funds depends different ratio analysis which tells us that what is rate on capital employed, if this
rate is very high then we can get more fund for more production and for more production give more money. Even financial
management is also part of management accounting. If system of financial accounting will complete with good way and
rules and regulation, then other system of cost accounting and management accounting will gives good result.

Leverage analysis is the part of management accounting. This is the duty of finance manager to use the technique for
making ideal structure of capital. Leverage analysis is the best technique of finance manager. With this technique he
can make wonderful structure of capital. For doing leverage analysis he has to calculate three leverage
1st leverage – Operating Leverage
Operational leverage is calculate by following formula
Operational leverage =
% change in Earning before interest and tax
____________________________________
% Change in Sales
Analysis of operating leverage of a firm is very useful to the financial manager. It tells the impact of changes in
sales on operating income. A firm having higher Degree of operating leverage can experience a magnified effect on
E.B.I.T. for even a small change in sales level. Higher D.O.L. can dramatically increase the operating profit. But if
there is decline in sales level, E.B.I.T. may be wiped out and a loss may be operated.
2nd leverage - Financial Leverage
Financial leverage can be calculate with following formula
% change in Earning per share
= ____________________________________
% change in Earning before interest and tax
Financial leverage helps the finance manager in designing the appropriate capital structure. One of the objectives of
planning an appropriate capital structure is to maximize the return on equity shareholders’ funds or maximize the
earning per share.
Financial leverage is doubled edged sword. On the one hand it increase earning per share and on the other hand it
increase financial risk. A high financial leverage means high fixed financial costs and high financial risk i.e. as the
debt component in capital structure increases , the financial leverage increases and at the same time the financial
risk also increase .
So the finance manager therefore is required to trade off i.e. has to bring a balance between risk and return for
determining the appropriate amount of debt in the capital structure of a firm. Thus the analysis of financial leverage
is most important tool in the hands of finance managers who are engaged in financing the capital structure of business
firms, keeping in view the objectives of their firm.
3rd leverage – Combined leverage
The combined leverage measures the effect of a % change in sales on % change in Earning per share.
Combined leverage = operating leverage X financial leverage
Or
Combined leverage=
% change in E.B.I.T. % change in E.P.S.

The ratio of contribution to earning before tax , given by combined leverage shows the combined effect of financial and
operating leverage . A high operating and high financial leverage combination is very risky. If the company is
producing and selling at a high level , it will make extremely high profit for its shareholders. But even a small fall
in the level of operations would result in a tremendous fall in earning per share. A company must , therefore maintain
a proper balance between these two leverage.

Management Accounting Part-III
The indirect method for calculating cash flow statement
Indirect method
Cash flow statement
A-cash flow from operating activity + B- Cash flow from investing activity + C- cash flow from financing activity +
opening balance of cash book = Closing balance of cash book
A- category regarding cash flow from operating activity is different from direct method , other part is as same as
direct method
According to indirect method when we calculate cash flow statement, we will care 8 points. The main aim is to calculate
cash net profit or loss for operating activity like sale and purchase of goods. Now I am explaining all 8 points deeply
1st point
Taking the net profit as per profit and loss account. This is (+) item. This is the base for calculating cash net
profit. Other 7 points are the just games of (+) and (-)
2nd point
Now we add all non cash and non operating expenses and losses in Ist point.
I want to tell you why we will (+) it in net profit. The answer is that because when we made of profit and loss account
we had deducted these non cash and non operating expenses in our profit and loss account. Now our duty is to add them .
Now I am telling about these expenses and losses
1) Depreciation
2) Preliminary expenses written off
3) Discount on issue of shares and deb. w/o
4) Goodwill written off
5) Patent and trade marks written off
6) Interest on borrowing and deb.
7) Loss on sale of fixed assets
One more question you can ask to me
Why non operating expenses are added in net profit?
Ans. Because it is true that these expenses in cash but we deems as cash outflow from financing activity or investing
activity so there is no need to adjust in operation.
3rd Point
After adding 2nd point items , we must deduct 3rd point items. It means that all non cash or non operating income must
be deducted from net profit for calculating cash net profit. In this , we can include
1) Dividend income (For non financial co.)
2) Rental income
3) Profit on sale of fixed asset
4th point
= Ist point + 2nd point – 3rd point
5th point
Now we add decrease in current assets because it must increase the cash inflow and also add increase in current
liabilities
1) Decrease in stock
2) Decrease in debtors
3) Decrease in accrued income
4) Decrease in prepaid expenses
5) Increase in creditors
6) Increase in bill payables
7) increase in outstanding expenses
8) Increase in advance income
9) Increase in provision for doubtful debts
6th point
Increase in current assets and decrease in current liabilities must be deducted
1) Increase in stock
2) Increase in debtors
3) increase in accrued incomes
4) increase in prepaid expenses
5) decrease in creditors
6) Decrease in bill payables
7) decrease in outstanding expenses
8) decrease in advance incomes
9) Decrease in provision for d/d
General hint
· Increase in current assets means cash outflow so deduct
· Decrease in current liabilities is also cash outflow so deduct
· Decrease in current assets means cash inflow so add
· Increase in current liabilities is also cash inflow so add
7th point
Total cash flow from operating activity
= 4th point + 5th point – 6th point
8th point
Deduct income tax paid from 7th point
After this you can get net cash flow from operating activity
All other B and C category as same as first method.

Definition of Securitisation
Securitisation is the process of getting cash on the basis of different security notes and papers .Even some company
issues shares or debenture for getting fixed assets , this is also securitisation . In simple english securitisation
create the relationship of company with outer world in which company gets fund for doing work .
Benefit of Securitisation
1.Increase the rate of return
2.Raise of fund or finance through securitisation when other source are not supported .
3.I take one example explaining the third benefit
suppose a person want to purchase a building for giving it rent , if he purchases with his cash then all risk of fund
is his own . But if he takes loan to make building then he becomes issuer of finance so from earning of building , he
can pay the debt of building .

Factors to provide Loans:
1st Financial factors
a) Rate of Return
It is the duty of account manager to find the rate of return. Select all those party which want to give us high rate on
our investment in the form of loan.
b) Risk Factor
Before giving credit to company, we also see our risk factor. i) personal risk- dishonesty , corruption ii) trade risk
– see previous profit and loss account iii) Debt equity ratio iv) Income interest ratio
c) Security
Before giving credit or loan account manager have to see what asset of business , businessman want to give as security
for getting loan .
d) Marginal of requirement
Before giving loan or credit , it is the duty of bank's account manager under govt. policies that he must see
difference between security and loan Suppose Security $ 10000 – Loan $ 8000 = Marginal requirement $2000 If our
providing loan is less than the value of asset which we have received in the form of security , then this is good .
 2nd Non- financial factors
1. Social factors
Through social responsibility accounting, account manager is also check, whether providing of loan at low rate is
benefited for social popularity or not.
2. Political factors
Account manager also check political and tax policies regarding providing of loan.

How to prepare Fund Flow statement
Before preparing of fund flow statement, you must know different accounting terms in fund flow statement.
Academic need to learn the fund flow statement
1. AS – 3 units 1.
Accounting standard 3 units 1 of Institute of Chartered Accountant of India explains preparation and presentation of
statement of changes in financial position or fund flow statement
2. UGC – NET – Commerce
If you want to clear UGC –NET in commerce subject, you should also learn fund flow statement. Because it includes in
paper 11 and paper 111 A syllabus in the form of fund flow analysis.
3. Graduate / Post Graduate Classes
Fund flow statement is full subject in B.Com. , B.B.A., B.C.A. and M.Com. , M.B.A., M.C.A. classes . For succeeding in
these classes, you should know the whole system of fund flow statement.
4. Helpful in Practical business environment
Fund flow statement is very helpful for solving following practical problems of business
Why are current assets are decreasing, even there are high profit?

1.Why did Company not issue dividend, even company has obtained profit?
2.What happened with net profit, where did it go?
3.What did Company do with the fund received from selling of shares and debentures?
What are main sources of company to repay his debts?
So, above questions’ answer can be given after making fund flow statements.
Definition of Fund
Fund means working capital. If current assets of company is more than current liability of business, it is called
working capital and working capital’s other name is Fund.
Fund = Working capital = Current assets – Current liability
Definition of Flow of Fund
Flow of fund means movement of fund. I take the example of air; we can feel its movement or flow of air. Same thing is
happen with fund, due to the activity of business fund is transfer from one asset to another assets. If fixed assets
are converted into current asset or fixed liability is converted into current liabilities, these are the flow of fund.
But if current assets are changed with current assets or current assets are changed into current liabilities, then,
there is no flow of fund because there is no change working capital. Suppose, we get the money from debtor, this is not
flow of fund because, working capital is not changed. Both items of current assets and when current assets change into
current assets, there will not be change in working capital.
Flow of Fund = Fixed asset changes into current asset or current asset changes into fixed assets
Or
Fixed liability changes into current liability or current liability changes into fixed liability.

Definition of fund flow statement
Fund flow statement is a statement which shows the inflow and out flow of funds between two dates of balance sheet. So,
it is known as the statement of changes in financial position. We all know that balance sheet shows our financial
position and inflow and outflow of fund affects it. So, in company level business, it is very necessary to prepare fund
flow statement to know what the sources are and what are applications of fund between two dates of balance sheet.
Generally, it is prepare after getting two year balance sheet.
According to Prof. Anthony, “The funds flow statement describes the sources from which additional funds were derived
and the use of which these funds were put.”
Fund flow statements are known with different names
Statement of source and uses of funds Or summary of financial operations Movement of working capital statement Or Fund received and distributed statement Or Fund generated and expended statement.
Steps for making Fund flow statement
First Step
Making of statement of Changes of Working Capital
For making of fund flow statement. It is very necessary to make statement of changes of working capital. Because net
increase in working capital is use of fund and net decrease in working capital is source of fund. So, it is duty of
accountant to make statement of changes of working capital. Making of statement of changes working capital is very easy
and simple.
We take two balance sheets, one is current year balance sheet and other is previous year balance sheet. Then we
separate current assets and current liabilities.
If current assets are more than previous year current assets, it means increase in working capital.
If current assets are less than previous year current assets, it means decrease in working capital. Because,
relationship between current assets and working capital is positive and if any changes in current assets, working
capital will change in same direction.
If current liabilities are more than previous year current liabilities, it means decrease in working capital.
If current liabilities are less than previous year current liabilities, it means increase in working capital.
Relationship between working capital and current liabilities are inverse.

2nd Step
Statement showing the fund from operation
Because is the source of fund and will show in fund flow statement’s source side. So before making fund flow statement,
we must make statement showing the fund from operation.
Operation means business activity and fund from operation means profit from business activity. So, you will easy
understand that profit from business activity between two accounting period must be the source of fund.

Statement of fund from operations
