16. Journal Entries in the Books of Trinity Ltd.
18. (i) Going Concern concept: The financial statements are normally
prepared on the assumption that an enterprise is a going concern
and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Hence, it
is assumed that the enterprise has neither the intention nor the
need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of its operations; if
such an intention or need exists, the financial statements may have
to be prepared on a different basis and, if so, the basis used is
disclosed.
(ii) Accounting Standards are selected set of accounting policies or
broad guidelines regarding the principles and methods to be
chosen out of several alternatives. The main objective of
Accounting Standards is to establish standards which have to be
complied with, to ensure that financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Accounting Standards seek to suggest rules and criteria of
accounting measurements. These standards harmonize the diverse
accounting policies and practices at present in use in India.
(iii) Retirement of bills of exchange: Sometimes, the acceptor of a
bill of exchange has spare funds much before the maturity date of
the bill of exchange accepted by him. He may, therefore, desire to
pay the bill before the due date. In such a circumstance, the
acceptor shall ask the payee or the holder of the bill to accept cash
before the maturity date. If the payee agrees, the acceptor may be
allowed a rebate or discount on such early payment. This rebate is
generally the interest at an agreed rate for the period between the
date of payment and date of maturity. The interest/rebate/
discount becomes the income of the acceptor and expense of the
payee. It is a consideration for premature payment. When a bill is
paid before due date, it is said to be retired under rebate.
(iv) Banks are essential to modern society, but for an industrial unit, it
serves as a necessary instrument in the commercial world. Most of
the transactions of the business are done through bank whether it
is a receipt or payment. Rather, it is legally necessary to operate
the transactions through bank after a certain limit. All the
transactions, which have been operated through bank, if not
verified properly, the industrial unit may not be sure about its
liquidity position in the bank on a particular date. There may be
some cheques which have been issued, but not presented for
payment, as well as there may be some deposits which has been
deposited in the bank, but not collected or credited so far. Some
expenses might have been debited or bills might have been
dishonoured. It is not known to the industrial unit in time, it may
lead to wrong conclusions. The errors committed by bank may not
be known without preparing bank reconciliation statement.
Preparation of bank reconciliation statement prevents the chances
of embezzlement. Hence, bank reconciliation statement is very
important and is a necessity of an industrial unit as it plays a key
role in the liquidity control of the industry.
