Meaning of Accounting:
“The main purpose of accounting is to ascertain profit or loss during a specified period, to show
financial condition of the unit on a particular date and to have control over the unit’s property.
Such accounting records are required to be maintained to measure the income of the unit and
communicate the information so that it may be used by various interest groups”, hence;
“Accounting is a discipline which records, classifies, summarizes and interprets financial
information about the activities of a concern so that intelligent decisions may be taken about the
concern and the various interest groups interested in the concern”
“The financial accounting is an art of recording, classifying and summarising in a significant
manner and in terms of money transactions and events which are in part, at least of a financial
character and interpreting the results thereof”. - American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants
“Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic information
to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of information” - American Accounting
Association
Development of Accounting:
Chanakya in his Arthashastra emphasized the need for proper accounting and auditing. But
modern system of accounting has its origin to Pacioli who lived in Italy in the 18th century.
Functions of Accounting:
1. Recording – is the basic function of accounting. It is done in “Journal”. It is divided into
subsidiary books such as cash, purchases, sales, etc. Dealing in financial transactions
2. Classifying – is done in “Ledger” in separate account heads.
3. Summarising – through Trial balance, Income Statement and Balance Sheet.
4. Analyzing & interpreting – end users can make meaningful judgement.
5. Communicating the information

Session 1 SLO2
Groups Interested In Accounting Information / Users of Accounting Information
The basic objective of accounting is to provide information which is useful for persons and
groups inside and outside the organisation. There are several groups of people who are interested
in the accounting information relating to the business enterprise.
Internal users – are those individuals or groups who are within the organisation, like
owners, management, employees and trade unions.
External users – are those individuals or groups who are outside the organisation, like
creditors, banks and other lending institutions, present and potential investors,
Government, tax authorities, regulatory agencies and researchers.
Following are the users of accounting information:
Shareholders: Shareholders as owners are interested in knowing the profitability of the
business transactions and the distribution of capital in the form of assets and liabilities. In
fact, accounting developed several centuries ago to supply information to those who had
invested their funds in business enterprise.
Management: With the advent of joint stock company form of organization the gap
between ownership and management widened. In most cases the shareholders act merely
as renders of capital and the management of the company passes into the hands of
professional managers. The accounting disclosures greatly help them in knowing about
what has happened and what should be done to improve the profitability and financial
position of the enterprise.
Potential Investors: An individual who is planning to make an investment in a business
would like to know about its profitability and financial position. An analysis of the
financial statements would help him in this respect.
Creditors: As creditors have extended credit to the company, they are much worried
about the repaying capacity of the company. For this purpose they require its financial
statements, an analysis of which will tell about the solvency position of the company.
Government: Any popular government has to keep a watch on big businesses regarding
the manner in which they build business empires without regard to the interests of the
community. Restricting monopolies is something that is common even in capitalist
3
countries. For this, it is necessary that proper accounts are made available to the
government. Also, accounting data are required for collection of sale-tax, income-tax,
excise duty etc.
Employees: Like creditors, employees are interested in the financial statements in view
of various profit sharing and bonus schemes. Their interest may further increase when
they hold shares of the companies in which they are employed.
Researchers: Researchers are interested in interpreting the financial statements of the
concern for a given objective.
Citizens: Any citizen may be interested in the accounting records of business enterprises
including public utilities and government companies as a voter and tax payer.
Branches of Accounting
1. Financial Accounting – involves the preparation of financial statements for use of
outsiders to show them the manner in which operations of business have been conducted.
2. Management Accounting – is the application of professional information to assist the
top management in formation of policies and in planning.
3. Cost Accounting – relates to collection, classification and ascertainment of the cost of
production or job undertaken by the firm.

and taxation of various countries bring to bear on international operations and accounting
principles.
Social Responsibility Accounting: This branch is the newest field of accounting. It owes
its birth to increasing social awareness which has been particularly noticeable over the last
three decades or so. Social responsibility accounting is so called because it not only
measures the economic effects of business decisions but also their social effects, which
have previously been considered to be immeasurable. The management is being held
responsible not only for the efficient conduct of business as reflected by increased
profitability but also for what it contributes to social well-being and progress.
Inflation Accounting: Inflation has now become a world-wide phenomenon. The
consequences of inflation are dire in case of developing and underdeveloped countries.
When financial statements or reports are based on historical costs, they would fail to
reflect the effect of changes in purchasing power or the financial position and profitability
of the firm. Thus, the utility of the accounting records, not taking care of price level
changes is seriously lost. This imposes a demand on the accountants for adjusting
financial accounting for inflation to know the real financial position and profitability of a
concern. It is a system of accounting which regularly records all items in financial
statements at their current values.
Human Resources Accounting: Human resources accounting is yet another new field of
accounting which seeks to report and emphasize the importance of human resources in a
company’s earning process and total assets. It is based on the general agreement that the
only real long lasting asset which an organization possesses is the quality and caliber of
the people working in it. This system of accounting is concerned with, “the process of
identifying and measuring data about human resources and communicating this
information to interested parties”.

Financial Reporting:
Financial Reporting involves the disclosure of financial information to the various stakeholders
about the financial performance and financial position of the organization over a specified period
of time. These stakeholders include – investors, creditors, public, debt providers, governments &
government agencies. In case of listed companies the frequency of financial reporting is

accounting standards & guidance notes which are applied for the purpose of financial reporting.
This ensures uniformity across various diversified industries when they prepare & present their
financial statements.

Session 2 SLO2:
Understanding IFRS
Foreign Direct Investments, Foreign Institutional Investors, Merger and Acquisition, Franchising
and Business Outsourcing are some example of international transaction in global business.
For the integrity of different county's business together in the world market it was necessary for
the business to adopt a common set of accounting standard, since accounting is the language of a
business.
Therefore in 1973, international professionals from different countries established the
International Accounting Standard Committee.
Main objective to this committee is to issue International Accounting Standards, at this present
time Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified 35 Accounting Standards.
In 2001 International Accounting Standard Committee are superseded as International
Accounting Standard Board.
Now the board issues the International Financial Reporting Standard formerly known as
International Accounting Standards. Accounting Standards were prepared for some benefits in
global market which are compelling.
The use of common set of accounting standards throughout the world provides an easy way of
comparability and transparency of financial information.
It also reduces the cost of preparing financial statements.
A constant use of accounting standards provide higher quality information which enables the
investors to make a better decision, indirectly fund will allocate in more efficient manner in the
market and the company can reduce its overall cost of capital.
Meaning of IFRS: “A single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global
accounting standards adopted by the IASB.

The globalization creates an increased need for communication in the terms of language,
awareness of culture differences and domestic customs.
Moreover the financial communication such as accounting and financial results is just as
important for business leaders and employees to master.
After issuing the revised roadmap for implementing Ind AS in January 2015, the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs (MCA) has come up with the phase wise adoption of Ind AS, India’s
Accounting Standards converged with IFRS.
India has chosen the path of IFRS convergence and not adoption. The MCA has issued a
notification dated 16 February 2015 announcing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015 for the applicability of Ind AS. A total of 39 Ind AS has been notified.
Applicability
The application of Ind AS is based on the listing status and net worth of a Company. Also these
standards will be applied to various threshold companies in phased out manner as given below.
Phases Companies Date
1 Companies having Net worth of greater than or equal to INR 500 crore. 1 April 2016
2 Listed Companies and companies having Net worth of greater than or 1 April 2017

It is important to note that the Ind AS will also apply to subsidiaries, joint ventures,
associates and holding companies of the entities covered in various phases. Companies not
covered by the new Ind AS rules can voluntarily adopt Ind AS. Once adopted, they cannot
switch back. Insurances, banking and non- financial companies are not required to apply Ind

Accounting Standards
Accounting is the language of business. Accounting information has to be suitably recorded and
presented. GAAP – are the broad guidelines used to measure, record and report financial affairs
and activities of a business. It is required to assure some degree of uniformity and comparability
in the data received and relied on by the users. Every different country has its own GAAP -
Indian GAAP, US GAAP. Every country has devised its own GAAP because businesses,
business processes, sources of finance to the business, and methods of their utilization in the
business are different in each country.
Preparation of GAAP: In every country, there is an institute called as Institute of Chartered
Accountants of that country or Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In India, ICAI - Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India, is entrusted with the task of preparing the GAAP, ensuring
the proper implementation of the GAAP, and effecting changes if any from time to time.

Accounting Concepts and Conventions
Concepts of Accounting: Assumptions
The major principles and concepts are:
1. Business Entity concept: This concept treats a business separate and distinct from those
individuals who own or manage it. Business transactions must be kept completely
separate from the private affairs of the owner. An organistion is considered a legal or
economic unit capable of generating income for itself.
2. Going Concern concept: Here, the assumption is that business will exist for the future
and transactions are recorded from this point of view. Business will exist indefinitely and
will not be dissolved or liquidated in the immediate future.
3. Realisation concept (or) Accrual concept: This concept is an accounting system which
recognizes revenues and expenses as they are earned or incurred, respectively, without
regard to the date of receipt or payment. Recognized in the period in which it is earned,
rather than the period in which it is collected in cash.
4. Money Measurement concept: Money is the medium of exchange. All transactions are
expressed in terms of money, since money is a basic unit of measurement. Ex: Rupee in
India, Yen in Japan and so on.
5. Cost concept: This concept states that all goods and services purchased should be
recorded at historical cost. Ex: If a building is purchased for Rs. 50 lakh, it should be
recorded in the books at Rs. 50 lakh only, even if the worth is more or less, or even if the
market value changes.
6. Dual Aspect concept: According this concept, each transaction has two aspects – the
debit aspect and the credit aspect. This must be reflected in accounting records in order to
maintain equilibrium between assets and liabilities of a business.
7. Accounting period concept (or) Periodicity concept: This concept makes it obligatory
to divide the life of a business concern into specific time intervals for periodic reporting.
Usually financial statements are prepared at yearly intervals called the accounting period,
which covers any conservative 12 month period.
8. Matching concept: It results from periodicity concept. It attempts to match the expenses
incurred in generating revenues with the revenues earned in order to determine the net
income. Every sacrifice of resource in a given period must be specifically identified with
11
a particular product or service and be recognized as an expense in the period in which the
product or service is sold or provided.
9. Objectivity concept: It requires the economic data as supplied by financial statements
should be based on verifiable evidence and should not be biased.
Conventions (Traditions) of Accounting
1. Convention of Consistency: This concept relates to the method of measurement in
accounting. Any method can be adopted, but consistently followed.
2. Convention of Full Disclosure: A good accounting practice should disclose all
significant information. Ex: Not only assets but also mode of valuation should be stated.
3. Convention of Conservatism (or) Prudence: Early recognition of unfavourable events.
The user must be given the most pessimistic view of firm’s position. Assets and profits
should not be overstated. “Recognise all losses and anticipate no gains”.
4. Convention of Materiality: An item is recorded only when it is considered to be useful
or important to the user of a financial statement. Insignificant transactions are not
recorded.
