Consistency: The accounting policies are followed consistently from year to year.
Understandability Relevance Materiality Reliability -- Faithful representation -- Substance over form -- Neutrality -- Prudence -- Completeness -- Comparability
Financial Position
Assets --- Assets are the resources controlled by an enterprise as a result of past events, from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the enterprise. Liabilities Liabilities are the present obligations of the enterprise ,arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits. Equity Equity is the residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after deducting all its liabilities.
ACCOUNTING EQUATION
The relationship among asset , liability and equity can be expressed by the following equation Assets = Liabilities + Owner s Equity The effect of all business transactions is reflected in this equation.
Financial Position -- Assets -- Liabilities --Equity . Performance -- Income -- Expenses . Cash Flows
Characteristics
Assets 1. They represent potential to contribute , directly or indirectly, to the flow of cash or cash equivalents to the enterprise. 2. Physical form not essential to the existence of the asset. 3. Legal right of ownership not essential in establishing the existence of asset. 4. Purchasing or producing not always essential to obtain asset. 5. Expenditure incurred for seeking future economic benefits may not result in asset.
Characteristics
Liabilities 1. It s a present obligation to be settled in future 2. Obligations may be due to a binding contract or statutory requirement 3. A present obligation and a future commitment differ from each other 4. Careful estimates are required to measure provisions.
Characteristics

2.
Equity It is dependent on the measurement of assets and liabilities A change in net assets results in a change in the equity
PERFORMANCE

ACCOUNTING PROCESS
ACCOUNTING PROCESS
Account :- An account is an individual record of increases or decreases in an item that is likely to be of interest or importance. Ledger :- It is a book which contains accounts. Journal :- The journal is a chronological record of transactions entered into by a business.
Personal account :- Accounts of persons or firms with whom the firm enters into transactions. It includes both natural persons accounts and artificial persons accounts. Real account :- Accounts of properties under the control of the firm. Nominal account :- Accounts of revenue , gains, expenses and losses.
Personal account:-Debit the receiver credit the giver Real account:-Debit what comes in credit what goes out Nominal account:-Debit all expenses and losses credit all incomes and gains
To record transactions and events in the journal To post journal entries in appropriate accounts in the general ledger To balance the accounts in the general ledger To prepare the trial balance To pass adjustment entries To prepare the revised trial balance To pass closing entries to prepare financial statements
TYPES OF JOURNALS
Purchase Day Book Sales Day Book Purchase Return Book Sales Return Book Cash Book Journal Proper
MATCHING PRINCIPLE
Revenues have to be matched and correlated with all the expenses of a particular year In other words , profit is determined after charging the expenses of a period with the revenues earned in the same period
PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATISM
This principle requires the accountants not to anticipate gains but to provide for all possible losses Example : Lower of cost or market price policy is adopted while valuing inventory.
MATERIALITY
Information is material if its misstatement could influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of financial statements Materiality depends on the size and nature of the item or error It is necessitated by practicability and feasibility
ADJUSTMENT PROCESS
Why Adjustment Is Necessary ? It ensures that revenues and expenses are recorded or recognised in the period to which they relate to. 1. It affects both Balance Sheet and Income Statement . 2. It never affects the cash account. 3. Adjustments are required when transactions affect revenue and expense of more than one accounting year.
ADJUSTMENT PROCESS
1.
2.
Adjusting Entries Result In: Deferral : A deferral is a delay in the recognition of an expenditure or of a revenue already received Accrual : An accrual is the recognition of an expense that has not been paid or of a revenue that has not been received
Trial Balance
Features Closing balances of accounts in the ledger as well as cash balance are taken It tests the arithmetical accuracy of ledger balances It can be prepared monthly, quarterly and yearly It is a source document for preparing financial statement

DEPRECIATION
Definition:- Depreciation is a measure of the wearing out, consumption or other loss of value of a depreciable asset arising from use, effluxion of time or obsolescence through technology and market changes. In other words depreciation is nothing but distribution of total cost of an asset over its useful life.
DEPRECIATION
Significance 1. It represents the charge of a fair proportion of the depreciable amount to P&L account over the useful life of an asset. 2. Depreciable amount is the historical cost or revalued amount of the asset less residual value. 3. It plays a significant role in determining the financial performance of an enterprise. 4. It is charged in each accounting year.

Depreciable Asset means an Asset which Is held by an enterprise for use in the production or supply of goods and services. Is not meant for resale in the ordinary course of business. Is expected to be used during more than one accounting period Has limited useful life.
DEPRECIATION Methods of Depreciation 1. Straight Line Method:- Under this method depreciation is charged equally over the useful life of the asset. Formula: Depreciation = Cost of asset- Estimated residual value -----------------------------------------------------Estimated useful life
DEPRECIATION
2. Written down value method:- Under this method depreciation is charged at a fixed rate on the reduced balance of the asset every year. Rate of Estimated residual Depreciation = 1- n value -------------------------Cost of asset
DEPRECIATION
Requirements of Companies Act Sec. 205 and 350 deal with depreciation 1. Sec.205 states that no dividend shall be declared or paid out of profits without providing for depreciation. 2. Depreciation has to be provided a) as provided in sec.350, or b) as arrived at by dividing 95% of the original cost of the asset by the specified period 3. Sec.350 provides that depreciation has to be charged as per schedule XIV to the Companies Act.

Provisions of Income Tax Act Only WDV method is recognised Block of assets method is followed 100% dep. Is allowed if the asset is used for 180 days or more. 50% dep. if used for less than 180days
DEPRECIATION
Consistency Principle It requires that a method of dep. , once adopted , should be applied consistently unless 1. The statute requires the adoption of a new method. 2. It is required to comply the provisions of an accounting standard 3. The change is necessary for a more appropriate preparation and presentation of the financial statements.

Objectives of Analysis To know whether the company is making enough profit or not To evaluate the financial strength of the company To judge the ability of the company to generate enough cash and cash equivalents and their timing To know the future growth prospects
Tools available for analysis Multi-step income statement Horizontal analysis Common-sized analysis Trend analysis Analytical balance sheet
Horizontal Analysis The percentage analysis of increase or decrease in each item of comparative balance sheet and profit and loss account is known as horizontal analysis Formula: (Current year s fig.- Previous year s fig.)*100 ----------------------------------------------------------Previous year s fig.

Trend Analysis It is an extension of horizontal analysis Unlike in horizontal analysis, trend analysis compares position for more than two years, say, five years Analysis for a longer period confirms the findings of horizontal analysis
Classification of Ratios Return on Investment ( ROI ) ratios Solvency ratios Liquidity ratios Efficiency or Turnover ratios Profitability ratios Du Pont Analysis Capital Market ratios
Earning per Share ( EPS) The ratio measures the overall profitability in terms of per equity share of capital contributed.This is the most widely used ratio across industries. Formula: PAT-Pref.Dividend ---------------------------------------------------------Weighted average no. of equity shares
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (times) This ratio helps in assessing whether a company has the ability to service its instalments of the principal due and the interest obligations out of the revenues generated. Higher the ratio, greater is the ability. Formula: PAT+Int. on long term debt+Non-cash charges ---------------------------------------------------------------Int. on long term-debt +Instalments of principal
Current Ratio ( times ) The ratio measures the ability of a company to discharge its day to day obligations. A company should possess adequate level of current assets over current liabilities to be able to do so. A current ratio of more than 1 indicates that value of short-term assets is more than short-term liabilities. A current ratio of less than 1 indicates poor liquidity. Formula: Current Assets, loans and advances+short-term Investments -----------------------------------------------------------------------------Current Liabilities+Provisions+Short-term debt
Collection Period ( days ) The ratio measures how fast the company is able to realise the dues from the customers on credit sales. It helps to understand the credit policy of the company. Formula: Receivables *365 --------------------------Credit sales
Suppliers Credit ( days ) The ratio measures the average credit period enjoyed by the company from its suppliers. It also helps to understand the credit policy extended to a company by the suppliers. Formula: Payables*365 ---------------------Credit Purchases
Inventory Holding Period( days ) The ratio measures the average period for which cash is blocked in inventory. In other words the ratio explains how fast the company is able to convert its inventory into cash. Formula: Inventory*365 -------------------Cost of goods sold
Overall Efficiency Ratio ( times ) It shows how effectively the capital employed has helped in revenue generation. Higher the ratio greater is the efficiency. Formula: Sales ---------------------------------------------Capital Employed
Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio ( times ) The ratio measures the sales revenue per rupee of fixed assets. It plays an important role in improving the overall profitability and financial position of the company. Formula : Sales -----------------------------------------------Net Block of Fixed Assets
Debtors Turnover Ratio ( times ) It represents the number of times average dues from customers are realised. Higher the ratio, the better is the position. Formula: Credit Sales ------------------------------------------------Average Debtors
Creditors Turnover Ratio ( times ) The ratio shows the average time taken to pay for goods and services. Longer the credit period achieved the better. Formula: Credit Purchase ---------------------------------------------------Average Creditors
Gross Profit Margin (%) This reflects the efficiency with which management produces each unit of output. It also indicates the spread between the cost of goods sold and the sales revenue. Formula: Sales-Cost of Goods Sold ------------------------------------- x 100 Sales
Operating Profit Margin (%) This ratio indicates profitability from operating activities. A higher margin implies better sales realisation and effective cost control. Formula: Operating Profit ---------------------- X 100 Sales
Net Profit Margin( % ) The ratio is the overall measure of the firm s ability to earn profit per rupee of sales. It also establishes relationship between manufacturing, administering and selling the products. Formula: Profit After Tax --------------------- x100 Sales
Individual Costs and Expenses to Sales Ratios (%) These ratios measure the proportion of individual items of cost and expense in relation to sales. They also assist the analyst in cost minimisation and cost reduction. Formula: Raw Materials Consumed ---------------------------------------- x100 Net Sales
Effective Tax Rate(%) The ratio measures the actual effective rate at which a company pays income tax as against the statutory rate. Formula: Current Income Tax ---------------------------- x100 PBT
DU PONT Analysis RONW is a function of Net Profit Margin and Net worth Turnover. DU PONT analysis seeks to measure and establish this relationship between the two determinants. Through these ratios a firm can devise suitable remedies to overcome the weak area of overall performance. Formula: (PAT-Pref. Div)X100 Net Sales ----------------------------X-------------------------------------Net Sales Net Worth
Price Earning Ratio ( times ) P/E multiple is an important indicator of the premium that the market wishes to put on a firm s earnings. It can be used to price a share and value a firm. Formula: Market Price of Equity Share -----------------------------------------EPS
Market Capitalisation (Rs.) The ratio measures the total market value of the number of equity shares outstanding. Formula: No. of Equity Shares O/S X Market Price
Yield to Investors (%) The ratio measures the total gain or loss suffered by investors in relation to their investment in equity shares of a company. Dividend recd.+ Market Appreciation ---------------------------------------------x100 Initial Investment
