Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

11RITESH SINGH
12. Methods of Accounting
• Business transactions are recorded in two
different ways.
1 Single Entry
2 Double Entry
1 Single Entry: It is incomplete system of
recording business transactions. The business
organization maintains only cash book and
personal accounts of debtors and creditors.
So the complete recording of transactions
cannot be made and trail balance cannot be
prepared.

transaction is having a two fold effect of
benefits giving and benefit receiving aspects.

system that records the effects of transactions
and other events in at least two accounts with
equal debits and credits.

18RITESH SINGH

(US GAAP/UK GAAP/IFRS/SOX)
• The Concepts and conventions of accounting are developed by IASC
(International Accounting Standards Committee) which is in-charge
of releasing International Accounting Standards (IAS)
• The IASC Decides the preferred Accounting practices worldwide and
encourages the worldwide acceptance

• Now IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) gain more
importance which came up from US GAAP and UK GAAP
19RITESH SINGH
20. Difference between Concepts and Conventions
• The Accounting Concepts / Principles evolved out of the Practice
and Procedures followed by different countries and later on
established by the International Statutory Accounting Bodies like
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, The Institute of
Chartered Accountants of England, etc to become an Accounting
Principle statutorily need to be followed while preparing the
Financial Statements. In nutshell this has evolved out of standard
Practice followed by several countries while preparing the
Trading, Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet.
• The Accounting Conventions / Practices are basically assumptions
and expected to be followed while preparing the Financial
Statements.
20RITESH SINGH
23. Accounting Concepts
• Business Entity Concept
The business and its owner(s) are two separate
existence entity
– Any private and personal incomes and expenses of the
owner(s) should not be treated as the incomes and expenses
of the business
• Examples
– Insurance premiums for the owner’s house should be
excluded from the expense of the business
– The owner’s property should not be included in the premises
account of the business
– Any payments for the owner’s personal expenses by the
business will be treated as drawings and reduced the
owner’s capital contribution in the business
23RITESH SINGH
24. Accounting Concepts
• Business Entity Concept
– Ex 1: You are running your own Textile Showroom as a Dealer in Cloth as a Sole
Proprietor/Individual Owner of the Business. The entire capital amount for the Business is
provided by you. In this case also for the purpose of accounting you need to maintain Two set
of books.
• One set of books for the purpose of Textile Business in which, Business owes you
equivalent to the Capital Provided (Capital + Profit earned) or (Capital – Losses)
• In your own Books the amount of Capital invested will be shown as an Investment in
Business as an Asset. This need not be maintained as a Normal Set of Books but required
to know the Cash Inflow and Cash Outflow from Income Tax Perspective.
– Ex 2: You are working for Oracle Corporation and Oracle has a Bank Account with Bank of
America and You have Bank Account with Citi Bank and the salary at end of every month is
transferred from Bank of America to Citi Bank. How many accounting Entities involved in this
case?
• If your answer is 4, then you are right (You, Oracle Corp, Bank of America, Citi Bank)
– Ex 3: You run your own Business in Software Consulting and your Friend has agreed to
provide a Loan of 50000 Rs. which he goes and deposit directly into your Bank account - How
many accounting Entities involved in this case?
• If you say 3, You are right, it is only Three. (You, Your Friend and Bank)
24RITESH SINGH
25. Accounting Concepts
Money Measurement Concept
• Meaning
– All transactions of the business are recorded in
terms of money
– It provides a common unit of measurement
• Examples
– Market conditions, technological changes and the
efficiency of management would not be disclosed
in the accounts
25RITESH SINGH
26. Accounting Concepts
Money Measurement Concept
Record should be made only of that information which can be expressed in
Monetary Terms.
Ex 1. Sole Proprietor had 40 Tables & Chairs. This cannot be recorded
unless a Value of Furniture is known in monetary value
Ex 2. Very Famous Indian Example – Rama Killed Ravana. Can this be
Accounted? – NO
Ex 3. My parents Loves me so much – Can this be accounted?
– A Big NO (Hahhah). This is Flaw in Financial Accounting as it does
not understand the human values
Ex 4. My Father in Law gave his Personal Property to start my Business. Can
this be Accounted – Yes (If the Value of the Property is provided)
26RITESH SINGH
27. Accounting Concepts
• Money Measurement Concept
A Normal Doubt comes to your mind in the first and fourth example in
previous slide how to get the value. We should not be taking the Purchase
value, but we should take the Market value on the date of transferring the
assets to Business. This is an exception to cost concept only in case of
transfer to another business
Ex 5: Siva started his software consulting Business with his own Property
(Cost Price 10,00,000 Rs. and Market Value 15,00,000 Rs. ) and Furniture's
Cost price 50000 worth Market Value 30000 Rs.
- In this case, You can record Siva Capital (1530000) and Building 1500000
and Furniture 30000 as Assets
LiabilitiesLiabilities AssetsAssets
Siva Capital 1530000Siva Capital 1530000 Building 1500000Building 1500000
Furniture 30000Furniture 30000
Total 1530000Total 1530000 Total 1530000Total 1530000
27RITESH SINGH
28. Accounting Concepts
• Dual Aspect Concept
The Value of the Assets owned by the concern is equal to the claims on the Assets
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNER’S EQUITY
OWNER’S EQUITY = ASSETS – LIABILITIES
LIABILITIES = ASSETS – OWNER’S EQUITY
Ex: If Owners Equity is 600000 and Liabilities are 400000, then Total Asset =
1000000
AssetAsset Owner’s Equity + LiabilitiesOwner’s Equity + Liabilities
LiabilitiesLiabilities Assets – Owner’s EquityAssets – Owner’s Equity
Owner’s EquityOwner’s Equity Assets - LiabilitiesAssets - Liabilities
28RITESH SINGH
29. Accounting Concepts
• Cost Concept
Assets are always shown at their Cost and not at their
current Market Value
Ex 1. A Land Purchased for Rs.5 Lacs will be recorded
only at Rs.5 Lacs even though Market value may be lower
say Rs.4 Lacs or Higher Rs.6 Lacs than the Cost Price
Ex 2. You are acquiring a Business for Rs. 10 lacs and its
value as per Books is Rs. 8 lacs, then the difference of Rs. 2
lacs is termed as Goodwill and you should records the
assets and liabilities at the price you have paid for the
Business (i.e.)
29RITESH SINGH
30. Accounting Concepts
Accounting Period
Accounting measures activity for a specified interval of time, usually a year
(e.g) Calendar Year (Jan’07-Dec’07)
Financial Year (Apr’07-Mar’08)
Choosing the Accounting period is the entities choice, but there are legal rules
like Companies Act and Income Tax Act which prescribes the period in which
the entity has to report to them.
Remember still Entities can have different accounting period for their own
Internal Management Reporting
A Company in India can have for Company Law Purpose (Jan-Dec) Year and
Income Tax Purpose (Apr-Mar) Year and for own internal Reporting (Jul-Jun)
Year
Note: The Entities cannot change their accounting period without getting
proper approval only in case of Companies Act and not possible with Income
Tax Authorities.
30RITESH SINGH
31. Accounting Concepts
• Realization Concept
The Sales is considered to have taken place only when either the cash is received
or some third party becomes legally liable to pay the amount. Revenues are
recognized when they are earned or realized. Realization is assumed to occur
when the seller receives cash or a claim to cash (receivable) in exchange for
goods or services
Ex 1: A Sales invoice for Rs One Lacs
Credit Note for Rs.15000 received
Ex 2: For instance, if a company is awarded a contract to build an office building
the revenue from that project would not be recorded in one lump sum but rather
it would be divided over time according to the work that is actually being done.
31RITESH SINGH
32. Accounting Concepts
• Matching Concept
When an Event affects both the revenues and expenses, the effect on each
should be recognized in the same accounting period
Ex 1: Generally Employees Salaries are paid for the previous month at the
beginning of the next month. But they have rendered their services to produce
goods and sold and Sales revenue is recognized in previous month. So to match
the cost with the revenue earned, we need to make provision for Salaries in
previous month itself. (i.e.) March Salary paid in April, but a Salary Payable
provision will be made in March itself
EX 2: Insurance Premium paid for Jan- Dec whereas your accounting period
closes on March. In this case only three months premium need to be treated as
Expense and balance 9 months treated as advance premium paid as an asset
32RITESH SINGH
33. Accounting Concepts
• Going Concern
Accounting Records , Events and Transactions on
the assumption that the entity will continue to
operate for an indefinitely Long period of time
Ex. An Entity will not be started with an intention to
close within the specified time period. Business is
always not started with an intention to close and it
is expected to continue forever.
33RITESH SINGH
34. Accounting Concepts
• Accruals/Matching
• Meaning
– Revenues are recognized when they are earned, but not when cash is
received
– Expenses are recognized as they are incurred, but not when cash is paid
– The net income for the period is determined by subtracting expenses
incurred from revenues earned
• Example
– Expenses incurred but not yet paid in current period should be treated
as accrual/accrued expenses under current liabilities
– Expenses incurred in the following period but paid for in advance
should be treated as prepayment expenses under current asset
– Depreciation should be charged as part of the cost of a fixed asset
consumed during the period of use
34RITESH SINGH
35. Accounting Concepts
• Objectivity Concept
An Evidence of the happening of the Transaction should support every
Transaction in the form of paper. External Evidence is considered to be more
authenticated proof than Internal Evidence. This rule is more important from
Audit perspective as Auditors always consider and bound to get more external
evidences than internal Evidences.
Ex 1: Third Party Evidence (Credit Note from Supplier)
Ex 2: Auditors Collect Statements from Customer and Suppliers for the
amount showing as Outstanding from Customers and amounts Payable to
Suppliers.
Ex 3: The Sales Invoices alone is not considered as an objective evidence
unless it is not supported by Delivery challan and acknowledgement of Goods
Received by Customer.
35RITESH SINGH
36. Accounting Conventions
• Materiality
– Immaterial amounts may be aggregated with the amounts
of a similar nature or function and need not be presented
separately
– Materiality depends on the size and nature of the item
• Example
– Small payments such as postage, stationery and cleaning
expenses should not be disclosed separately. They should be
grouped together as sundry expenses
– The cost of small-valued assets such as pencil sharpeners
and paper clips should be written off to the profit and loss
account as revenue expenditures, although they can last for
more than one accounting period 36RITESH SINGH
37. Accounting Conventions
• Consistency
The Accounting Policies and methods followed by the company
should be the same every year
Ex 1. Period should not be changed frequently from Jan-Dec to
Apr-Mar
Ex 2. Inventory Valuation change from FIFO to LIFO or Weighted
Average not permitted frequently
Ex 3. Changing Depreciation Policy from Straight Line to Reducing
Balance Method frequently
Note: If any Company decides to change the policy, then that
Company has to report on the effect of Profit/Loss due to the
change for past 5 Years.
37RITESH SINGH
38. Accounting Conventions
• Conservatism
Anticipate no Profits but provide for all possible losses.
– Revenues and profits are not anticipated. Only realized
profits with reasonable certainty are recognized in the profit
and loss account
– However, provision is made for all known expenses and
losses whether the amount is known for certain or just an
estimation
– This treatment minimizes the reported profits and the
valuation of assets.
• Example
– Stock valuation sticks to rule of the lower of cost and net
realizable value
– The provision for doubtful debts should be made
– Fixed assets must be depreciated over their useful economic
lives 38RITESH SINGH
40. Classification of Accounting Event
Capital Item: Any expenditure that creates an asset, for example::
◦ Purchase of plant or machinery
◦ Improvements to assets that increase their usefulness or extend
their effective useful life of the asset
Revenue Item: An Income or Expenditure and the benefit of which will
be exhausted within a year (i.e.) The Calendar Year or the Financial
Year whichever is set up for the Set of Books
◦ Ex: Salary and wages, Printing and Stationery, Sales Revenue,
Interest Income, Salary Payable, Bonus Payable, Tax Payable etc.,
◦ In Simple terms this is an event which generates revenue and the
related cost to earn the revenue are accounted as expense.

An account indirectly representing a person or
persons is known as representative personal

outstanding salaries, rent, wages etc.
