Swadeshi Polytex Ltd. Comparative Balance Sheet for the years ended 31st December 1987 and 1988 (in lakhs of rupees)
COMMON SIZE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Comparative Financial Statements can be prepared for more than two periods or on more than two dates. However, it becomes very cumbersome to study the trend with more than two periods data. Trend percentages are more useful in such cases.
Common size financial statements are those in which figures reported are converted into percentages to some common base. In the income statement, the sale
figure is assumed to be 100 and all figures are expressed as a percentage of sales. Similarly, in the Balance Sheet, the total of assets or liabilities is taken as 100 and all figures are expressed as a percentage of this total. Illustration: On the basis of the data given in the previous illustration pertaining to Swadeshi Polytex limited, prepare the common size income statement and common size balance sheet for the years ended 31st March 1987 and 1988. Solution: Swadeshi Polytex limited Common Size Income Statement for the years ended 31st March 1987 and 1988

The above statement shows that though in absolute terms, the cost of goods has gone up, the percentage of its cost to sales remains consistent at 75%. This is the reason why the gross profit continues at 25% of sales. Similarly, n absolute terms the amount of administrative remains the same but as percentage to sales it has come down by 0.5%. Selling expenses have increased by0.25%. These all lead to net increase in net profit by 0.25%. Swadeshi Polytex limited Common Size Balance Sheet for the years ended 31st March 1987 and 1988

Interpretation
The percentage of current assets to total assets was 38.46 in 1987. It has gone up to 48.69 in 1988. Similarly the percentage of current liabilities to total liabilities
Department of MBA/SJBIT Page 36
12MBA14
(including capital) has gone up from 2307 in 1987 to 27.95 in 1988. Thus the proportion of current assets has increased by percentage of 10 as compared to increase in the proportion of current liabilities, which is about 5%. This has improved the working capital position of the company. There has been a slight deterioration in the debt-equity ratio though it continues to be sound. The proportion of shareholders funds in the total liabilities has come down from 69.24% to 61.19% while that of debenture holders has gone up from 7.69% to 9.86%.
TREND ANALYSIS
Trend percentages are immensely useful in making a comparative study of financial statements for several years. The method of calculating trend percentages involves the calculation of percentage relationship that each item bears to the same item in the base year. Any year may be taken as the base year. It is usually the earliest year. Each item of base year is taken as 100 and on that basis the percentage for each item of the years is calculated. These percentages can also be taken as Index Numbers showing relative changes in the financial data resulting with the passage of time.
Illustration: From the following data relating to the assets side of the balance sheet of Kamadhenu Ltd., for the period 31st December 1985 to 31st December 1988 you are required to calculate the trend percentage taking 1985 as the base year.

Liquidity implies a firms ability to pay its debts in the short term. This ability can be measured by the use of liquidity ratios. Short term liquidity involves the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. 1. Current Ratio Current Assets
Department of MBA/SJBIT

12MBA14
Current assets include cash, marketable securities, debtors, inventories, loans and advances and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities include loans and advances taken, trade creditors, accrued expenses and provisions.
TURNOVER RATIOS 3. Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio Accounts Receivable Ratio (Debtors turnover ratio)
= Net sales (or) Net Credit sales Receivables Average Accounts Receivables
The average accounts receivable is obtained by adding the beginning receivables of the period and the ending receivables and by dividing the sum by 2. The net sales or net credit sales made by the firm should be taken for analysis. 4. Average Collection Period The average number of days for which the debtors remain outstanding is called the average collection period. It is calculated as under: Average Collection period = 360 Average Accounts Receivables Turnover
Department of MBA/SJBIT
Page 39
12MBA14
Where, average inventory is the average of the opening and closing inventory in any year and inventory means only the closing inventory at the end of a year. 6. Fixed Assets Turnover ratio Fixed assets turnover ratio = Net sales Fixed assets (or) _Cost of goods sold fixed sales
This ratio is supposed to measure the efficiency with which the fixed assets are employed
7. Total Assets Turnover Ratio Total Assets Turnover Ratio = Net sales Total Assets.
Total assets are simply the balance sheet total at the end of the year.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
8. Gross Profit Margin Ratio Gross profit is the difference between the net sales and the cost of goods sold

Accounting for Management Gross Profit Margin Ratio = Gross profit Net sales This ratio shows the margin left after meeting manufacturing costs.
12MBA14
9. Net Profit Margin Ratio Net Profit Margin Ratio = Net profit Net sales It shows the earnings left for the shareholders (both equity and preference) as a percentage of net sales.
Earnings is a measure of the operating profitability and is arrived at by the following formula: Earnings Power = Earnings before interest and taxes Average total assets
EARNINGS RATIO
11. Earnings per share The shareholders are concerned about the earnings of the firm in two ways. One is the availability of the funds with the firm to pay their dividends and the other is to expand their interest in the form of retained earnings that the firm can use to improve its profitability. Earnings are expressed on a per share basis which is in short called EPS. Earnings Per Share = Net Profit after Tax Number of outstanding shares
12. P/E Ratio It is calculated as under Price Earnings Ratio = Market Value per share Earnings per share
13. Capitalization Rate The capitalisation rate is just the inverse of the Price-Earnings Ratio. Capitalisation Rate =

LEVERAGE RATIOS
Leverage refers to the use of debt finance. While debt capital is a cheaper source of finance, it is also riskier source of finance. Leverage ratios help in assessing the risk arising form the use of debt capital. 14. Debt Ratio The firm may be interested to know the proportion of interest bearing funded debt in the capital structure. Then this debt ratio will be helpful. It is arrived at by dividing the total debt (TD) by the capital employed (CE) or Net Assets (NA) Debt Ratio = (TD) Total Debt (TD) + Net Worth (NW) (CE) Capital Employed Total Debt (TD) = Total Debt
Department of MBA/SJBIT
Page 42
12MBA14
Note: 1. Capital Employed = Net Assets = Net Fixed Assets + Net Current Assets 2. Net Current Assets = Current Assets Current liabilities excluding interest bearing short term debt for working capital. NFA + CA = NW + TD + CL NFA + CA CL = NW + TD NFA + NCA = NW + TD NA = CE Because equality of capital employed and Net assets, the debt ratio can also expressed as Debt Ratio = Total Debt (TD) Capital Employed (CE)
15. Debt-Equity Ratio This ratio indicates the relative contributions of creditors and owners Debt Equity ratio = Debt Equity

IFRS vs. Indian Accounting Standards The International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the reporting standards of finance as set by the international accounting standards. Both IFRS and Indian Accounting Standards have different accounting standards. However, with the growing market trend, the need of a common set of accounting standards was felt by all. Hence, IFRS is to be followed. However, with the differences in the standards existing between both the bodies, a careful handling is to be carried out. Following are few changes that will be made in case IFRS is issued and made compulsory: AS-1: Disclosure of Accounting principles IFRS-/IAS-1: Adoption of international financial reporting standards/presentation of financial statements. AS-3:cash flow statements IAS-7: cash flow statements AS-4: events after the balance sheet date IAS-10: events recorded after the balance sheet date AS-5: changes in accounting policies and accounting errors IAS-8: prior period changes and accounting policies and errors changes
AS-6 and AS-10: Depreciation and fixed assets IAS-16: plants, property and equipments AS-9: revenue recognition IAS-18: revenue The above mentioned standards were some of the examples to the changes in accounting standards of both the bodies. Not only that, IFRS deals with the balance sheet in the reverse manner as ours. The first emphasis is laid on to the assets in the order of liquidity. The next recorded details are that of the liabilities starting with the borrowings. Then finally the next recorded details are that of the equity capital which is completely opposite according to the Indian Accounting standards

Module-VI Audit of a company Audit means a systematic verification of the books of a company to give a true and fair view about its working and also about the financial results of the company. In India only a Chartered Accountant who has passed the professional examination conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountant can conduct the audit and certify under his hand about his opinion on the maintenance of the books of accounts. The auditor's report is a formal opinion, or disclaimer thereof, issued by either an internal auditor or an independent external auditor as a result of an internal or external audit or evaluation performed on a legal entity or subdivision thereof (called an auditee). The report is subsequently provided to a user (such as an individual, a group of persons, a company, a government, or even the general public, among others) as an assurance service in order for the user to make decisions based on the results of the audit. An auditors report is considered an essential tool when reporting financial information to users, particularly in business. Since many third-party users prefer, or even require financial information to be certified by an independent external auditor, many auditees rely on auditor reports to certify their information in order to attract investors, obtain loans, and improve public appearance. Some have even stated that financial information without an auditors report is essentially worthless for investing purposes
There are four common types of auditors reports, each one presenting a different situation encountered during the auditors work. The four reports are as follows: 1. Unqualified Opinion An opinion is said to be unqualified when the Auditor concludes that the Financial Statements give a true and fair view in accordance with the financial reporting framework used for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements. An Auditor gives a Clean opinion of Unqualified Opinion when he or she does not have any significant reservation in respect of matters contained in the Financial Statements. The most frequent type of report is referred to as the Unqualified Opinion, and is regarded by many as the equivalent of a clean bill of health to a patient,[2] which has led many to call it the Clean Opinion, but in reality it is not a clean bill of health, because the Auditor can only provide reasonable assurance that there are no material misstatements within the Financial Statements.[3] This type of report is issued by an auditor when the financial statements presented are free of material misstatements and are represented fairly in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which in other words means that the companys financial condition, position, and operations are fairly presented in the financial statements. It is
Department of MBA/SJBIT Page 52
Accounting for Management the best type of report an auditee may receive from an external auditor.
12MBA14
2. Qualified Opinion report A Qualified Opinion report is issued when the auditor encountered one of two types of situations which do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, however the rest of the financial statements are fairly presented. This type of opinion is very similar to an unqualified or clean opinion, but the report states that the financial statements are fairly presented with a certain exception which is otherwise misstated. The two types of situations which would cause an auditor to issue this opinion over the Unqualified opinion are:
Single deviation from GAAP this type of qualification occurs when one or more areas of the financial statements do not conform with GAAP (e.g. are misstated), but do not affect the rest of the financial statements from being fairly presented when taken as a whole. Examples of this include a company dedicated to a retail business that did not correctly calculate the depreciation expense of its building. Even if this expense is considered material, since the rest of the financial statements do conform with GAAP, then the auditor qualifies the opinion by describing the depreciation misstatement in the report and continues to issue a clean opinion on the rest of the financial statements. Limitation of scope - this type of qualification occurs when the auditor could not audit one or more areas of the financial statements, and although they could not be verified, the rest of the financial statements were audited and they conform
GAAP. Examples of this include an auditor not being able to observe and test a companys inventory of goods. If the auditor audited the rest of the financial statements and is reasonably sure that they conform with GAAP, then the auditor simply states that the financial statements are fairly presented, with the exception of the inventory which could not be audited. 3. Adverse Opinion report An Adverse Opinion is issued when the auditor determines that the financial statements of an auditee are materially misstated and, when considered as a whole, do not conform with GAAP. It is considered the opposite of an unqualified or clean opinion, essentially stating that the information contained is materially incorrect, unreliable, and inaccurate in order to assess the auditees financial position and results of operations. Investors, lending institutions, and governments very rarely accept an auditees financial statements if the auditor issued an adverse opinion, and usually request the auditee to correct the financial statements and obtain another audit report.

12MBA14
4. Disclaimer of Opinion report A Disclaimer of Opinion, commonly referred to simply as a Disclaimer, is issued when the auditor could not form, and consequently refuses to present, an opinion on the financial statements. This type of report is issued when the auditor tried to audit an entity but could not complete the work due to various reasons and does not issue an opinion. The disclaimer of opinion report can be traced back to 1949, when the Statement on Auditing Procedure No. 23: Recommendation Made To Clarify Accountants Representations When Opinion Is Not Expressed was published in order to provide guidance to auditors in presenting a disclaimer.
Directors report
This is essentially an account of a companys performance in the previous year and its prospects as seen by its board of directors. The objective is to give the reader a sense of the state of the business. It touches upon both quantitative and qualitative issues. Typically, it starts with a summary of the companys performance in the previous year, and the dividends and bonuses declared. Then, it launches into a discussion of which parts of the business did well and which didnt, what were the conditions in the industry, the enabling factors and the limitations, and the outlook for the business. Provisions of Companies Act of 1956 Regarding Financial Statements Sec 209 - Books of account to be kept by company. Sec 209A - Inspection of books of account, etc., of companies.

MAOCARO
Under the powers conferred by S. 227(4A), the Central Government first issued an order called the manufacturing and other companies (auditors report) order, 1975, (MAOCARO-1975). This order came into force from 1-1-1976 and applied to all companies engaged in manufacturing, service, trading and finance activities. There were in all 22 items on which auditor was required to give his specific report. With changes in economic environment, the above order was replaced by another order called MAOCARO-1988 which come into force on 1-11-1988. This order contained 27 items on which auditor was required to make specific comments depending on the nature of activities of the company. It may be noted that the 1988 order replaced 1975 order after 13 years. Now, after 15 years, the Central Government has issued, in consultation with ICAI, a new order u/s.227(4A) called the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003. This can be called CARO-2003 which has come into force from 1st July 2003. There are 33 items in CARO on which the auditor has to make specific comments. Some of the items in MAOCARO-1988 and CARO-2003 are common and some items from MAOCARO are omitted. Since some additional responsibilities are being placed on the auditor under CARO-2003, the discussion in this article is mainly restricted to the new items added under this new order.
Back Ground: With the introduction of CARO, the responsibility of the auditors as well as the companies to which this report applies has increased.
This article makes an attempt to compare the reporting requirements in MAOCARO with that prescribed in CARO. This will help the practicing members as well as members in industry to understand the new requirement and comply with it.

A branch of accounting that uses investigative skills to determine the accuracy of a company's financial statements in a legal dispute. The word forensic means "suitable for a court of law." Thus, forensic accountants are used in fraud investigations, breach of contract disputes, and other disagreements that require court action. Forensic accountants are often retained by one or both parties in such dispute to bolster their cases Example: Embezzlement - Government Employees County government employees executed a massive fraud scheme in collusion with members of an outside organization to steal and sell close to $500,000 worth of County property. We were engaged by County officials to provide forensic accounting services, assist the police in the investigation and uncover other areas of fraud exposure that existed in the government operations
Corporate governance
Corporate governance is the set of processes, customs, policies, laws and institutions affecting the way in which a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. Corporate governance also includes the relationships among the many players involved (the stakeholders) and the goals for which the corporation is governed. The principal players are the shareholders, management and the board of directors. Other stakeholders
Department of MBA/SJBIT Page 60
12MBA14
include employees, suppliers, customers, banks and other lenders, regulators, the environment and the community at large. Corporate governance is a multi-faceted subject. An important theme of corporate governance deals with issues of accountability and fiduciary duty, essentially advocating the implementation of guidelines and mechanisms to ensure good behaviour and protect shareholders. Another key focus is the economic efficiency view, through which the corporate governance system should aim to optimize economic results, with a strong emphasis on shareholders welfare. There are yet other aspects to the corporate governance subject, such as the stakeholder view, which calls for more attention and accountability to players other than the shareholders (e.g.: the employees or the environment). Definition
The term corporate governance has come to mean two things. * the processes by which companies are directed and controlled. * a field in economics, which studies the many issues arising from the separation of ownership and control. In A Board Culture of Corporate Governance business author Gabrielle O'Donovan defines corporate governance as 'an internal system encompassing policies, processes and people, which serves the needs of shareholders and other stakeholders, by directing and controlling management activities with good business savvy, objectivity and integrity. Sound corporate governance is reliant on external marketplace commitment and legislation, plus a healthy board culture which safeguards policies and processes'. Parties to corporate governance Parties involved in corporate governance include the regulatory body (e.g. the Chief Executive Officer, the board of directors, management and shareholders). Other stakeholders who take part include suppliers, employees, creditors, customers and the community at large. Issues involving corporate governance principles include: * oversight of the preparation of the entity's financial statements * internal controls and the independence of the entity's auditors * review of the compensation arrangements for the chief executive officer and other senior executives * the way in which individuals are nominated for positions on the board * the resources made available to directors in carrying out their duties * oversight and management of risk * dividend policy

As per this Method of HR Accounting, the sum of all costs related to Human Resources (i.e. Recruitment, Acquisition, Formal Training, Informal Training, Informal Familiarisation, experience and development) is taken together to represent the value of the human resources. II. Replacement Costs The Historical Cost Method was highly criticised as it only takes into account the Sunk Costs which are irrelevant for Decision Making. Thus, a new model for Human Resource Accounting was conceptualised which took into the account, the costs that would be incurred to replace its existing human resources by an identical one. 1. Individual Replacement Costs which refers to the cost that would have to be incurred to replace an individual by a substitute who can provide the same set of services as that of the individual being replaced 2. Positional Replacement Costs which refers to the cost of replacing the set of services referred by an incumbent in a defined position III. Opportunity Cost Model This model was advocated by Hekimian and Jones in the year 1967 and is also known as the Market Value Method. This method of measuring Human Resources under this Model is based on the concept of opportunity cost i.e. the value of an employee in its alternative best use, as a basis of estimating the value of human resources. The opportunity cost value may be established by competitive bidding within the firm, so that in effect, managers bid for any scarce employee. A human asset therefore, will have a value only if it is a scarce resource, that is, when its employment in one division denies it to another division. B. ECONOMIC VALUE MODELS I. Present Value of Future Earnings Model This Model of human resource accounting was developed by Lev and Schwartz in the year 1971 and involves determining the value of human resources as per the present value of estimated future earnings discounted by the rate of return on Investment (Cost of Capital). II. Reward Valuation Model/ Flamholtz Model Flamholtz advocated that an Individuals Value to an organisation is determined by theservices he is expected to render. This model of Human Resource Accounting is an improvement to the Present Value of Future Earnings Model as it takes into account the probability that an individual is expected to move through a set of mutually

III. Valuation on Group Basis While applying the above models, the Accountants realised that proper Valuation as per Human Resources Accounting is not possible unless the contributions of the Individuals as a Group are taken into consideration.
