PREFACE
With the continuous developments in the external environment, the role of Company Secretaries is being continuously redefined, which demand that our students - the prospective Company Secretaries, are better prepared, developed and trained by providing regular quality academic inputs, so that they are equipped to face the challenges of dynamic environment with ease and efficiency. To become competitive, a student need not only be aware of the basic theoretical provisions of subjects but also be conversant with the practical aspects of it.
Developing competency in practical papers is a little more challenging as mastering these subjects requires practicing more problems based on them. Although the study materials of the Institute contains a lot of numerical and scenario based problem solving inputs but nevertheless they can be supplemented further.
With the intent of developing our students in practical oriented subjects, the Institute has brought out “Practice Manual”, a repository of solved questions, to build competency in practical oriented subjects by providing the students with a pool of solved practical problems. I am proudly presenting this practice manual prepared specifically for the subject “Company Accounts and Auditing Practices” to the students of professional programme.
Students learn best when they are shown how practical questions are framed and solved on variety of topics, in a step by step method with proper explanation. With this consistency, students would be able to see the underlying patterns clearly and will learn better. The manual has adopted an easy-to-understand method of providing solutions so that students can understand themselves without an aid of a teacher. It will prove to be a significant preparation resource for the students and will also serve as a self assessment tool in the preparation for examination.
I acknowledge with thanks all those experts authors and institutions whose material has been consulted and referred in preparation of this Practice Manual.
I place on record my sincere appreciation to Ms. Khusbu Mohanty, Assistant Education Officer in the Academic Team at the Institute headed by Ms. Sonia Baijal, Director for this new initiative under the overall supervision of CS Sutanu Sinha, Chief Executive and Officiating Secretary.
I will urge my students to take maximum benefit out of it by meticulously practicing the questions given therein. Practicing more will develop better understanding of the concepts and provide stronger grip on the subject, for which Practice Manual will certainly serve as a means. My best wishes to you all!
New Delhi CS Atul H. Mehta 4th November, 2015 President, ICSI

Calculation of Amount to be Transferred to Capital Reserve
a) Forfeited amount on 150 Shares of Mr. Remu=450
Forfeited amount per share = Rs. 450/150 = Rs. 3
Forfeited amount on 75 shares = 75 x 3 = 225
b) Forfeited amount on 50 shares of Mr. Shyam = 300
Forfeited amount per share = Rs. 300/50 = Rs. 6
Transferred to capital Reserve =525 (225+300)-250=275

Question 15
What is employee stock option plan? Explain the importance of such plans in the modern time.
Answer
Employee Stock Option Plan is a plan under which the company grants employee stock options. Employee stock option is a contract that gives the employees of the enterprise the right, but not the obligation, for a specified period of time to purchase or subscribe the
21
shares of the company at a fixed or determinable price which is generally lower than the prevailing market price of its shares.
The importance of these plans lies in the following advantages which accrue to both the company and the employees:
1. Stock options provide an opportunity to employees to participate and contribute in the growth of the company.
2. Stock option creates long term wealth in the hands of the employees.
3. They are important means to attract, retain and motivate the best available talent for the company.
4. It creates a common sense of ownership between the company and its employees.
Question 16
X Co. Ltd. has its share capital divided into equity shares of Rs. 10 each. On 1.1.2014 it granted 15,000 employees’ stock option at Rs. 50 per share, when the market price was Rs. 120 per share. The options were to be exercised between 15th March, 2015 and 31st March, 2015. The employees exercised their options for 10,000 shares only and the remaining options lapsed. The company closes its books on 31st March every year. Show Journal entries (with narration) as would appear in the books of the company up to 31st March, 2015.

Working Notes:
1. No entry is passed when Stock Options are granted to employees. Hence, no entry will be passed on 1st April 2014;
2. Market Price = Rs. 120 per share whereas as stock option price = Rs. 50, Hence, the difference Rs. 120 – Rs. 50 = Rs. 70 per share is equivalent to employee cost or employee compensation expense and will be charged to P/L Account as such for the number of options exercised i.e. 10,000 shares.
Question 17
S Ltd. grants 1,000 options to its employees on 1.4.2014 at Rs. 70. The vesting period is two and a half years. The maximum exercise period is one year. Market price on that date is 100. All the options were exercised on 31.7.2015. Journalize, if the face value of equity share is Rs. 10 per share.

(d) The buy-back does not exceed 25% of the total paid up capital and free reserves of the company. Provided that in case of buy back of equity shares in any financial year, the 25% of paid up capital shall be construed as 25% of the total paid up equity capital in that financial year.

Answer
Determination of Buy back of maximum no. of shares as per the Companies Act, 2013
1. Shares Outstanding Test
Particulars (Shares)
Number of shares outstanding 1,25,000
25% of the shares outstanding 31,250
2. Resources Test: Maximum permitted limit 25% of Equity paid up capital + Free Reserves
Particulars
Paid up capital (Rs.) 12,50,000
Free reserves (Rs.) (15,00,000 + 2,50,000 + 1,25,000) 18,75,000
Shareholders’ funds (Rs.) 1,25,000
25% of Shareholders fund (Rs.) 7,81,250
Buy back price per share Rs. 20
Number of shares that can be bought back (shares) 39,062
Actual Number of shares for buy back 25,000
3. Debt Equity Ratio Test: Loans cannot be in excess of twice the Equity Funds post Buy Back
Particulars Rs.
(a) Loan funds (Rs.) (18,75,000+10,00,000+16,50,000) = 45,25,000
(b) Minimum equity to be maintained after buy back in the ratio of 2:1 (a/2) = 22,62,500
(c) Present equity/shareholders fund = 31,25,000
(d) Future equity/shareholders fund (see W.N.) (31,25,000 – 2,87,500) = 28,37,500
30
(e) Maximum permitted buy back of Equity [(d) – (b)] = 5,75,000
(f) Maximum number of shares that can be bought back @Rs. 20 per share 28,750 shares
(g) Actual Buy Back Proposed 25,000 Shares
Summary statement determining the maximum number of shares to be bought back

Shares Outstanding Test 31,250
Resources Test 39,062
Debt Equity Ratio Test 28,750
Maximum number of shares that can be bought back [least of the above] 28,750 Company qualifies all tests for buy-back of shares and came to the conclusion that it can buy maximum 28,750 shares on 1st April, 2015.
However, company wants to buy-back only 25,000 equity shares @ Rs. 20. Therefore, buyback of 25,000 shares, as desired by the company is within the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

As per Section 68 (2) (d) of the Companies Act 2013, the ratio of debt owed by the company should not be more than twice the capital and its free reserves after such buy-back. Further under Section 69 (1), on buy-back of shares out of free reserves a sum equal to the nominal value of the share bought back shall be transferred to Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR). As per section 69 (2) utilization of CRR is restricted to fully paying up unissued shares of the Company which are to be issued as fully paid-up bonus shares only. It means CRR is not available for distribution as dividend.
Hence, CRR is not a free reserve. Therefore, for calculation of future equity i.e. shares capital and free reserves, amount transferred to CRR on buy-back has to be excluded from the present equity.

Working Note
Amount transferred to CRR and maximum equity to be bought back will be calculated by simultaneous equation method.
Suppose amount transferred to CRR account is ‘x’ and maximum permitted buy-back of equity is ‘y’.
Then (31,25,000 – x) – 22,62,500 = y (1)
10 x 20
y= x, or 2x = y
by solving the above equation we get
x = Rs. 2,87,500
y = Rs. 5,75,000

Note : In the given solution, it is assumed that buy-back of shares has been done out of the proceeds of issue of preference shares, therefore, no amount is transferred to capital redemption reserve for buy-back. However, if it is assumed that buy-back is from sale of investments and not from the proceeds of issue of preference shares, then, amount of revenue reserves transferred to capital redemption reserve will be 2,600 instead of 2,000.
Question 22
Explain the term “Firm” underwriting.
Answer
‘Firm’ underwriting signifies a definite commitment to take up a specified number of shares by an underwriter irrespective of the number of shares subscribed for by the public. In such a case, unless it has been otherwise agreed, the underwriter’s liability is determined without taking into account the number of shares taken up by him under the “firm” commitment, i.e. the underwriter is obliged to take up :
1. the number of shares he has applied for ‘firm’; and
2. the number of shares he is obliged to take up on the basis of the underwriting agreement.
Question 23
A joint stock company resolved to issue 10 lakh equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a premium of Re. 1 per share. Two lakh of these shares were taken up by the directors of the company, their relatives, associates and friends, the entire amount being received forthwith. The remaining shares were offered to the public, the entire amount being asked for with applications.
The issue was underwritten by X, Y and Z for a commission @ 2.5% of the issue price, 65% of the issue was underwritten by X, while Y’s and Z’s shares were 25% and 10% respectively. Their firm underwriting was as follows :
X 30,000 shares, Y 20,000 shares and Z 10,000 shares. The underwriters were to submit unmarked applications for shares underwritten firm with full application money along with members of the general public. Marked applications were as follows:
X 1,19,500 shares, Y 57,500 shares and Z 10,500 shares.

Write a short note on Debentures issued as Collateral Security.
Answer
Issue of debentures as a collateral security means issue of debentures as a subsidiary or secondary security, that is, a security in addition to the prime security. Secondary security
83
is to be realized only when the prime security fails to pay the amount of loan. Debentures issued as a collateral security can be dealt with in two ways in the books:
a. First Method
No entry is made in the books. On the liability side of the balance sheet below the item of loan a note that it has been secured by the issue of debentures is to be given.
b. Second method
Sometimes issue of debentures as collateral security is recorded by making a journal entry as follows:
Debenture suspense account Dr. (This appears on the assets side)
To Debenture account (This appears on the liabilities side)

In the financial statements of the financial year 2014-15, Gammon Ltd. has mentioned in the notes to accounts that during financial year, 24,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each were issued as fully paid bonus shares. However, the source from which these bonus shares were issued has not been disclosed. Is such non-disclosure a violation of the Schedule III to the Companies Act? Comment.

years immediately preceding the balance sheet date (31st March, 2015 in the instant case) the aggregate number and class of shares allotted as fully paid-up bonus shares.

Question 16
The management of Loyal Ltd. contends that the work in process is not valued since it is difficult to ascertain the same in view of the multiple processes involved. They opine that the value of opening and closing work in process would be more or less the same.

Answer
Schedule III to the companies Act does not require that the amounts for which WIP have been completed at the beginning and at the end of the accounting period should be disclosed in the statement of profit and loss.

Question 20
What are the sources of dividend?
137
Answer
Under Section 123 (1) of the Companies Act, 2013, no dividend shall be declared or paid by a company for any financial year except-
(a) Out of the profits of the company for that financial year arrived at after providing for depreciation in accordance with the provisions of section 123(2), or
(b) Out of the profits for any previous financial years arrived at after providing for depreciation in accordance with the provisions of that sub section and remaining undistributed; or
(c) Out of both the above;
(d) Out of the moneys provided by the Central Government or any State Government for the payment of dividend by the Company in pursuance of any guarantee given by that government.
Provided that no dividend shall be declared or paid by a company from its reserves other than free reserves.
Question 21
Can dividend be paid out of past profits?
Answer
For the purpose of second proviso to sub-section (1) of section 123, a company may declare dividend out of the accumulated profits earned by it in previous years and transferred by it to the reserves, in the event of inadequacy or absence of profits in any year, subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions as per Companies (Declaration and Payment of Dividend) Rules, 2014
(1) The rate of dividend declared shall not exceed the average of the rates at which dividend was declared by it in the three years immediately preceding that year: provided that this sub-rule shall not apply to a company, which has not declared any dividend in each of the three preceding financial year.
(2) The total amount to be drawn from such accumulated profits shall not exceed one-tenth of the sum of its paid-up share capital and free reserves as appearing in the latest audited financial statement.
(3) The amount so drawn shall first be utilised to set off the losses incurred in the financial year in which dividend is declared before any dividend in respect of equity shares is declared.
(4) The balance of reserves after such withdrawal shall not fall below fifteen per cent of its paid up share capital as appearing in the latest audited financial statement.
(5) No company shall declare dividend unless carried over previous losses and depreciation not provided in previous year are set off against profit of the company
138
of the current year the loss or depreciation, whichever is less, in previous years is set off against the profit of the company for the year for which dividend is declared or paid.
Question 22
What do you mean by capital profit? Give examples.
Answer
It is the reserve which does not include any amount regarded as free for distribution through the Profit and Loss account. Only profits or a surplus of a capital nature can be credited to such a reserve. The following are instances of profit or surpluses which can be so credited:
1. Profit prior to incorporation.
2. Profit on sale of fixed assets
3. The excess of the value of net assets over the price paid for the acquisition of a business.
4. Profit on re-issue of forfeited shares.
5. The credit balance in the Capital Reduction Account, where there has been a reduction of capital with the consent of the Court.
Question 23
Whether dividend can be paid out of capital profits arising on sale of fixed asstes?
Answer
Dividend is an appropriation of profit. As per Section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013, Board of Directors of a company may declare dividend including interim dividend during any financial year out of the surplus in the profit and loss account and out of profits of the financial year in which such interim dividend is sought to be declared.
Dividend can be paid out of capital profits, but in the circumstances mentioned below, these are not available for distribution as dividends:
(i) Where the profit on sale of a fixed asset has not been realised; or
(ii) Where the profit on sale of fixed assets though realised is likely to be wiped out by the deficiency on revaluation of other assets; or
(iii) Where the Articles of Association do not permit distribution of such profit as a dividend.
Question 24

Revaluation Reserves as on 1.4.2014 3,50,000
Net profit for the year ended 31st March, 2015 3,00,000
Average rate of dividend during the last five year has been 12%.
Answer

Profits available
Current year profit 3,00,000
Less : Preference dividend (1,57,500)
(1,42,500)
Amount which can be utilized from reserves 6,57,500

Question 28
Holy Ltd. engaged in the business of manufacturing wine. The process of manufacturing this wine takes around 15 months. Due to this reason Holy Ltd. has prepared its financial
149
statements considering its operating cycle as 15 months and accordingly classified the raw material purchased and held in stock for less than 15 months as current asset. Comment on the accuracy of the decision and the treatment of asset by Holy Ltd. as per Companies Act, 2013.
Answer
As per Companies Act, 2013, one of the criteria for classification of an asset as a current asset is that the asset is expected to be realised in the company’s’ operating cycle or is intended for sale or consumption in the company’s normal operating cycle.
Further, operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. However, when the normal operating cycle cannot be identified, it is assumed to have a duration of 12 months.
As per the facts given in the question, the process of manufacturing of wine takes around 18 months; therefore, its realisation into cash and cash equivalents will be done only when it is ready for sale i.e. after 15 months. This means that normal operating cycle of the product is 15 months. Therefore, the contention of the company's management that the operating cycle of the product wine is 15 months and not 12 months is correct. Holy Ltd. will classify the raw material purchased & held in stock as current asset in its Balance Sheet.
Question 29
Gale Ltd. has been in the business of sale of Gale Wines for the last 20 years and is an extremely cash rich company. In FY 2011-12 the Board of the company decided to venture into new areas of business and identified the activity of acquiring old Properties such as old Bungalows, Heritage buildings and the like at prime locations and after carrying out renovation and refurbishment of the same to let out these properties on lease to willing parties. The new business was commenced as a separate division of the company in FY 2012-13 during which the company managed to identify 20 such properties of which 11 were acquired and 9 given on lease. Being the initial year of operations and also since some of the lease arrangements were entered into at the fag end of the year the income from leasing was only a paltry amount. After the acquisition of the properties as aforesaid very attractive offers for sale of 7 of the properties were received. Vintage Ltd. after negotiation accepted 5 of the offers and sold these 5 properties making large profits in the bargain. The accountant of Gale Ltd. has accounted the acquisition and disposals of properties as 'Purchases' and 'Sales' in the Profit & Loss account of the Property Division and treated the lease incomes as part of the other income of the company. The contention of the accountant of Gale Ltd., was that since a majority of the properties were disposed off within a short span of time, the properties are to be considered as stock in trade only. Further since the lease income was insignificant it does not become the main source of income and hence considered as part of other income. You are required to examine the correctness of the contentions of the accountant of Gale Ltd. considering the relevant Accounting Standards and provisions of Revised Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013.
150
Answer
As per AS 2 “Valuation of Inventories”, inventories are assets that are (a) held for sale in the ordinary course of business; (b) in the process of production for such sale; or (c) in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services.
The properties acquired by Gale Ltd. Should not be construed as stock in trade in spite of the fact that they are being sold within a short span of time.
As per the definition of Fixed asset given in para 6 of AS 10, a fixed asset is one which is held with the intention of being used for the purpose of producing goods or services and is not held for sale in the normal course of business.
In the given question the acquisition of the old properties is done by the company with the intention to provide the service of leasing of such properties. Hence the intention of the company was to use such property for generating revenue for the company by leasing out such properties. The sale of 5 properties can’t be considered as part of normal business operations of the company. Hence the treatment of the properties as ‘Stock-in- Trade’ is incorrect as the properties are to be considered only as Fixed Assets of the company. The lease income from these properties will be considered as main business income and cannot be considered as part of other income. Such income will be disclosed under the head Revenue from operations.
Thus, the contentions regarding accounting the acquisition and sale of these properties as sale and purchase, treating them as stock in trade, considering lease income as other income are not in line with provisions of the relevant accounting standards.

[Being the shortfall in insurance claim is the loss, transferred to Profit and Loss A/c]
Question 31
The Managing Director of Arun Ltd. is entitled to 5% of the annual net profits, as his remuneration, subject to a minimum of Rs.25,000 per month. The net profits, for this purpose, are to be taken without charging income-tax and his remuneration itself. During the year, Arun Ltd. made net profit of Rs.43,00,000 before charging MD’s remuneration, but after charging provision for taxation of Rs.17,20,000. Compute remuneration payable to the Managing Director.
Answer
Calculation of remuneration of the Managing Director Rs. in Lacs
Net profit as per books 43.00
151
Add: Provision for taxation 17.20
Annual profit for the purpose of managerial remuneration 60.20
Managing Director’s Remuneration @ 5% of above 3.01
Minimum remuneration to be paid to the Managing Director
= Rs.25,000 per month x 12 3.00
Hence, in this case, remuneration to be paid to the Managing Director of A Ltd. = Rs.3,01,000.

Question 1
Write short notes on comparison between Amalgamation and Absorption of companies.
Answer
In accounting parlance, amalgamation means merger of two or more companies into one new or existing company. Absorption, on the other hand, refers to acquisition of business of one company by another company. But, it may be noted that the Companies Act, 2013 does not make any distinction between amalgamation and absorption.
The Income-tax Act, 1961, however, defines the term amalgamation to mean “the merger of one or more companies with another company or the merger of two or more companies to form one company”. Therefore, it seems that legally there is no difference between amalgamation and absorption of companies. According to the Accounting Standard 14, “Accounting for Amalgamations”, amalgamations fall into two broad categories. In the first category are those amalgamations where there is a genuine pooling, not merely of the assets and liabilities of the two companies but also of the shareholders’ interests and of the businesses of these companies. Such amalgamations are known as “amalgamation in the nature of merger”. The second type of amalgamations are those which are in effect a mode by which one company acquires another company and as a consequence the shareholders of the company, which is acquired normally do not continue to have a proportionate share in the equity of the combined company or the business of the company which is acquired is not intended to be continued. Such amalgamations are known as “amalgamation in the nature of purchase.” Therefore, it can be said that amalgamations include absorption.
Question 2
Write short note on Pooling of interests method of amalgamation.
Answer
Pooling of interests method of accounting for amalgamation records amalgamation transactions as if the separate businesses of the amalgamating companies were intended to be continued by the transferee company. Accordingly, only the minimal changes are made in aggregating the individual financial statements of the amalgamating companies.
Under the pooling of interests methods, the assets, liabilities and reserves of the transferor company will be taken over by the transferee company at existing carrying amounts unless any adjustment is required due to difference in accounting policies. As a result, the difference between the amounts recorded as share capital issued (plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets) by the transferee company and the
4
Corporate Restructuring
152
amount of share capital of transferor company should be adjusted in reserves. At the time of amalgamation, if the transferor and the transferee companies have conflicting accounting policies, a uniform set of accounting policies is adopted following the amalgamation.
Question 3
What are the conditions, which, according to AS 14 on Accounting for Amalgamations, must be satisfied for an amalgamation in the nature of merger?
Answer
According to AS 14 on Accounting for Amalgamations; the following conditions must be satisfied for an amalgamation in the nature of merger :
(i) All the assets and liabilities of the transferor company become, after amalgamation, the assets and liabilities of the transferee company.
(ii) Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the face value of the equity shares of the transferor company (other than the equity shares already held therein, immediately before the amalgamation, by the transferee company or its subsidiaries or their nominees) become equity shareholders of the transferee by virtue of the amalgamation.
(iii) The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders of the transferor company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee company is discharged by the transferee company wholly by the issue of equity shares in the transferee company, except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional shares.
(iv) The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on, after the amalgamation, by the transferee company.
(v) No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of the transferor company when they are incorporated in the financial statements of the transferee company except to ensure uniformity of accounting policies.
(vi) All reserves & surplus of the transferor company shall be preserved by the transferee company.
If any one of the condition is not satisfied in a process of amalgamation, it cannot be treated as amalgamation in the nature of merger.

1. Computation of purchase consideration
The purchase consideration was discharged in the form of three equity shares of Pawan Ltd. for every two equity shares held in Varun Ltd.
Purchase consideration = Rs. 6,000 lacs × 2
3 = Rs. 9,000 lacs.
Note : The question is silent regarding the treatment of fictitious assets and therefore they are not transferred to the amalgamated company. Thus the cost of issue of debentures shown in the balance sheet of the Varun Ltd. company is not transferred to the P Ltd. company.

(iii) Pass journal entries in the books of Samy Limited.
Answer
(i) Purchase consideration
Rs.
Fixed assets 12,80,000
Stock 7,70,000
Bills receivable 30,000
Purchase consideration 20,80,000
Amount discharged by issue of preference shares = Rs. 5,10,000
No. of preference shares to be allotted = shares 5,100 100
5,10,000 Rs.
Amount discharged by allotment of equity shares = Rs.20,80,000 – Rs.5,10,000
= Rs. 15,70,000
Paid up value of equity share = Rs. 8
Hence, number of equity shares to be issued = 8

Question 21
What are the methods of calculation of purchase consideration?
Answer
(i) Lump Sum Method: The amount to be paid by the transferee company as consideration may be stated in the problem as a lump sum. In such a case, no calculation is required.
(ii) Net Assets Method: The amount of consideration or the amount of net assets is ascertained under thismethod in the following manner:
Assets taken over (at their revalued figures, if any, otherwise at their book figures).
Less: Liabilities taken over (at their agreed values, if any, otherwise at their book figures).
(iii) Net Payment Method: The amount of consideration under this method is ascertained by adding up the total value of shares and other securities issued and the payments made in the form of cash and other assets by the transferee company to the transferor company in discharge of consideration. So the consideration constitutes the total payment in whatever form either in shares, debentures, or in cash to the liquidator of the transferor company for payment to the shareholders of the transferor company.
1. The value of assets and liabilities taken over by the transferee company are not to be considered in calculating the consideration.
2. The payments made by the transferee company for shareholders, whether in cash or in shares or in debentures must to be taken into account.
3. Where the liabilities are taken over by the transferee company and subsequently discharged such amount should not be added to consideration.
4. When liabilities are taken over by the transferee company they are neither deducted nor added to the amount arrived at as consideration.
5. Any payments made by the transferee company to some other party on behalf of the transferor company are to be ignored.
6. If the liquidation expenses of the transferor company are paid by the transferee company, the same should not be taken as a part of the consideration.
(iv) Shares Exchange Method: In this method, the consideration is ascertained on the basis of the ratio in which the shares of the transferee company are to be exchanged for the shares of the transferor company.
This exchange ratio is generally determined on the basis of the value of each company’s shares.

Working Notes:
1. Valuation of Goodwill Rs.
Average profit 1,24,400
Less: 8% of 8,80,000 (70,400)
Super profit 54,000
Value of Goodwill = 54,000 x 4 2,16,000
2. Net Assets for purchase consideration
Goodwill as valued in W.N.1 2,16,000
Building 3,06,000

Debtors 2,34,000
Total Assets 15,30,000
Less: Creditors 3,20,000
Net Assets 12,10,000
Out of this Rs. 6,00,000 is to be paid in cash and remaining i.e., (12,10,000 – 6,00,000) =6,10,000 in shares of Rs. 125. Thus, the number of shares to be allotted 6,10,000/125 = 4,880 shares.
3. Unrealised Profit on Stock
The stock of A Ltd. includes goods worth Rs. 1,00,000 which was sold by B Ltd. on profit. Unrealized profit on this stock will be :
1,60,000
40,000 x 1,00,000 = 25,000
As B Ltd purchased assets of A Ltd. at a price 10% less than the book value, 10% need to be adjusted from the stock i.e., 10% of ` 1,00,000. (10,000) Amount of unrealized profit 15,000.

2. Calculation of fair value at which fixed assets have been acquired by P Ltd.
Since, the question states that “balance of purchase consideration is being attributed to fixed assets”, it is implied that the amount of purchase consideration is equal to the fair value at which the net assets have been acquired. Therefore, the difference of fair value of net assets (excluding fixed assets) and the purchase consideration is the fair value at which the fixed assets have been acquired.
Purchase consideration / Net assets 1,36,000

6. Holding Ratio
For every 5 shares – 3 Bonus Shares
90,000 shares = 5
3 x 90,000 = 54,000 share (Bonus)
Existing holding shares by H Ltd. = 90,000
Total Holding = 90,000 + 54,000 = 1,44,000 shares
261
Total number of shares issued by S Ltd.
= 10
24,00,000 = 2,40,000 shares
% of Holding = 100% x 2,40,000
1,44,000
= 60%
7. For every 5 shares the shareholder gets 3 shares Bonus
Thus total shares = 5 + 3 = 8 shares
Accordingly No. of shares before bonus issue is 8
2,40,000 x 5
= 1,50,000 shares
8. 20% Dividend declared on 1,50,000 shares by S Ltd. is Rs. 3,00,000 (20% of 1,50,000 x 10)
Corporate dividend Tax @ 11% of 3,00,000 = 33,000
Total Amount = 3,33,000

Question 9
Write a short note on Minority Interest.
Answer
The claim of outside shareholders in the subsidiary company has to be assessed and shown as a liability in the consolidate balance sheet.
While calculating the amount of minority interest, all these items have to be taken into account and proportionate share of all such profits and reserves should be added to the amount of minority interest while proportionate share of all such losses should be deducted from the minority interest, thus,
Minority Interest = paid-up value of shares held by minority shareholders + proportionate share of the company’s profits and reserves + proportionate shares of profits on revaluation of assets of the company - proportionate share of company’s losses – proportionate share of loss on revaluation of assets of the company.
But, if there are some preference shares of the subsidiary company held by outsiders, the minority interest in respect of the preference share will consist only of the face value of such shares and the dividend due on such shares if there are profits.
of bonus shares by the subsidiary company will increase Question 10
What is the treatment of Bonus issue by subsidiary company.
Answer
The issue the number of shares held by the holding company as well as the minority shareholders. Issue of bonus shares may or may not affect the cost of control depending upon whether such shares are issued out of capital profits or revenue profits.
(a) Issue of bonus shares out of capital profit (Pre-acquisition profits): In this case there will be no effect on accounting treatment because while calculating the cost of control the share of the holding company in pre-acquisition profit is reduced because of capitalisation of profit and the paid-up value of shares held in subsidiary company is increased. Hence there is no effect on cost of control when bonus shares are issued from pre-acquisition profit.
270
(b) Issue of bonus shares out of post acquisition profit: In this case, a part of the revenue profits will get capitalised resulting in decrease of cost of control or increase in capital reserve.
Question 11
What is the treatment of dividend paid by subsidiary company.
Answer
Dividends may be received out of capital or revenue profits of the subsidiary company. Dividend received by the holding company from the capital profits of the subsidiary company are credited to investment in shares of the subsidiary account thereby reducing the cost of control or increasing capital reserve.
On the other hand, dividend received out of the revenue profits (i.e., post-acquisition profits) are treated as income and credited to profit & loss Account by the holding company. If dividend declared partly out of capital profits (i.e., pre-acquisition profits) and partly out of revenue profits (i.e., post- acquisition profits), the dividend received is divided into two parts in proportion to its declaration out of capital profits and revenue profits. The dividend pertaining to the first part (i.e., capital profits) is credited to Investment Account reducing the cost of control or increasing the capital reserve and dividend pertaining to the second part (i.e., revenue profits) is credited to profit and loss Account or surplus account.

Question 22
Write a short note on Minority Interest.
Answer
In actual practice, it rarely happens that the cost of acquisition of shares in the subsidiary company agrees exactly with intrinsic value of the shares (i.e. the net assets of the subsidiary company) on the date of acquisition.
If the price paid by the holding company for the shares acquired in the subsidiary company is more than the intrinsic value of the shares acquired, the difference should be treated as Cost of Control or Goodwill. If on the other hand, the price paid by the holding company for the shares acquired in the subsidiary company is less than the intrinsic value of the shares acquired, the difference should be treated as capital profits and credited to Capital Reserve. It should be noted that while computing the intrinsic value of the shares as on the date of acquisition of control, all profits and losses upto that date, have to be taken into account.
While preparing the consolidated balance sheet, such Goodwill or Capital Reserve, whatever may be the case, must be shown in the Balance Sheet.
Question 23
Write a short note on treatment of contingent liabilities..
Answer
Contingent Liabilities: A contingent liability appears as a footnote. This is on account of a liability which may or may not arise in the future. While preparing a consolidated Balance Sheet they may be categorized as external current liabilities or internal current liabilities. External liabilities between the holding and subsidiary firm and the outsiders. Internal current liabilities is on account of transactions between the firms belonging to the same group. The external liabilities continue unchanged for the same group while internal liabilities no longer appears as a footnote as it is generally incorporated on the liability side.
308
Question 24
Write a short note on inter company transaction between holding and subsidiary.
Answer
Inter Company Transactions: The holding and subsidiary firm may have centered into the following transaction and these common transactions will be eliminated while compiling the consolidated Balance Sheet.
(a) The holding or the subsidiary firm may have granted loans (short term) to each other.
(b) They may have sold goods on credit in which case the inter company transactions will be included in debtors and creditors.
(c) The subsidiary or holding company may have drawn Bills of Exchange on each other in which case the common transaction will be included in Bills Payable/ Bills Receivable.
In all the above cases where the companies were treated as separate entities, these transactions would appear on the liabilities side on the Balance Sheet of one and on the assets side of the other’s Balance Sheet. However, when the entire group is being treated as a single entity it is undesirable to include common transaction and therefore they will be eliminated in the consolidated Balance Sheet from the liabilities as well as assets side.
Question 25
Write a short not Revaluation of assets and Liabilities of subsidiary company.
Answer
The Holding company may revalue the Assets and Liabilities of the subsidiary firm at the time of acquisition of shares in terms of market prices. In such a case the rate of revaluation is, assumed to be the same date as acquisition of shares. The profit or loss on revaluation is capital in nature and accordingly will be adjusted for in the analysis of profit under capital profits. The date of acquisition of shares as considered earlier also may not coincide with date of Balance Sheet in which case as stated earlier the current years profit has to be segregated between capital and revenue. Since the date of revaluation of assets is the date of acquisition of shares, a change in depreciation may be required on the revalued assets from the date of acquisition till the closing of Balance Sheet. For, presumably the Balance Sheet of the subsidiary company has been made or complied in terms of its original values. Information with respect to revaluation has to be explicitly stated by an agreement between the firms at the time of acquisition of majority share by the holding company.
Question 26
Write a short not preference share in subsidiary company.
309
Answer
With respect to the Subsidiary firm if preference share capital has been issued there are 2 possibilities.
• All preference shares are held by the outsiders i .e. other than holding company i.e which case the paid up value of the preference shares of the Subsidiary company is added to the minority interest.
• It is possible that part whole of the preference. shares of the Subsidiary company is held by the Holding Company. In such a case the cost of acquiring of the preference shares (shown in the investment account in the assets side in the Balance Sheet of the holding company) is compared with the paid up value (shown in Balance Sheet of Subsidiary firm) and the difference if any, adjusted in the cost of control. (if preference shares are issued after date of acquisition the adjustments remain the same)
Arrears of preference dividends may be payable or outstanding at the time of consolidation of Balance Sheet and usually preference dividends are cumulative in nature. If the subsidiary company, has adequate profits, it is reasonable to assume that these dividends will be paid. The minorities shares will be added to Minority Interest while with respect to the holding company the treatment will differ in terms of the divided being paid out of pre acquisition or post acquisition profits or both.
In case the dividends are paid out of pre-acquisition profits (capital profit), the dividend due to the holding company will be adjusted for in the cost of control. In case post acquisitions revenue profits are employed, the dividend due to the holding company will be credited (added on) to the Profit and Loss Account of the holding company in the consolidated Balance Sheet. It is possible that a combination of both pre and post acquisition profit is employed for the purpose of making dividend payment in which case the dividend paid out of the capital profit will be adjusted for in the cost of control and the portion out of revenue profit will be adjusted for in the P/L Account of Holding company.

Question 1
Briefly discuss methods of valuation of intangible assets.
Answer
Valuation of intangible assets is a complex exercise, as the non-physical form of intangible assets pose the difficulty of identifying the future economic benefits that the enterprise can expect to derive from them. There are three main approaches for valuing intangible assets:
(1) Cost approach : In cost approach, historical expenditure incurred in developing the asset is aggregated. Cost is measured by purchase price, where the asset has been acquired recently.
(2) Market value approach : In comparable market value approach, intangible assets are valued with reference to transactions involving similar assets that have cropped up recently in similar markets. This approach is possible when there is an active market in which arm’s length transactions have occurred recently involving comparable intangible assets and adequate information of terms of transactions is available.
(3) Economic value approach : This approach is based on the cash flows or earnings attributable to those assets and the capitalization thereof, at an appropriate discount rate or multiple. Some of the key parameters used in this approach are projected revenues, projected earnings, discount rate, rate of return etc. The information required can be derived from either internal sources, external sources or both. Under this approach, the valuer has to identify cash flows or earnings directly associated with the intangible assets like the cash flows arising from the exploitation of a patent or copyright, licensing of an intangible asset etc. This approach can be put to practice only if cash flows arising from the intangible assets are identifiable from the management accounts and budgets, forecasts or plans of the company. In most situations of valuation of intangible assets, the economic based approach is used, because of the uniqueness of intangible assets and the lack of comparable market data for the use of market value approach.

As there is no trend, simple average profits will be considered for calculation of goodwill.
Total adjusted trading profits for the last four years = Rs. (3,090 + 2,550 + 3,054 + 2,846) = Rs. 11,540 lakhs

Super Profits 223
Goodwill at 3 years’ purchase of super profits = 3 x Rs. 223 lakhs = Rs. 669 lakhs
Note:
In the above solution, goodwill has been calculated on the basis of closing capital employed (i.e. on 31st March, 2015).
Question 4
Write short Note on capital market information-P/E ratio, yield ratio and market value/book value of shares.
Answer
Capital market information-P/E ratio, yield ratio and market value/book value of shares : Frequently share prices data are punched with the accounting data to generate new set of information. These are (i) Price-Earning Ratio, (ii) Yield Ratio, (iii) Market Value/Book Value per share.

It indicates the pay back period to the investors or prospective investors. The P/E ratio can be interpreted on a comparison with the industry P/E. A low P/E in comparison to the Industry can indicate that there are prospects for growth in share price and hence could be an indicator to buy/hold the shares. A high P/E ratio in comparison to the Industry can be an indicator to sell the shares.

Question 5
The Balance Sheet of RNR Limited as on 31.12.2010 is as follows :
Liabilities (Rupees Assets (Rupees in Lakhs) in Lakhs)
1,00,000 equity shares of Goodwill 5
Rs. 10 each fully paid 10 Fixed assets 15
1,00,000 equity shares of Other tangible assets 5
Rs. 6 each, fully paid up 6 Intangible assets (market value) 3
Reserves and Surplus 4 Miscellaneous expenditure to
Liabilities 10 the extent not written off 2 30 30
Fixed assets are worth Rs. 24 lakhs. Other Tangible assets are revalued at Rs. 3 lakhs. The company is expected to settle the disputed bonus claim of Rs. 1 lakh not provided for in the accounts. Goodwill appearing in the Balance Sheet is purchased goodwill. It is considered reasonable to increase the value of goodwill by an amount equal to average of the book value and a valuation made at 3 years’ purchase of average super-profit for the last 4 years.
331
After tax, profits and dividend rates were as follows :
Year PAT Dividend % (Rs. in Lakhs)
2007 3.0 11%
2008 3.5 12%
2009 4.0 13%
2010 4.1 14%
Normal expectation in the industry to which the company belongs is 10%.
Akbar holds 20,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each fully paid and 10,000 equity shares of Rs. 6 each, fully paid up. He wants to sell away his holdings.
(i) Determine the break-up value and market value of both kinds of shares.
(ii) What should be the fair value of shares, if controlling interest is being sold ?
Answer
(i) Break up value of Re. 1 of share capital = lakhs 16.00 Rs.
lakhs 28.98 Rs.
= Rs. 1.81
Break up value of Rs. 10 paid up share= 1.81 × 10 = Rs. 18.10
Break up value of Rs. 6 paid up share = 1.81 × 6 = Rs. 10.86
Market value of shares :
Average dividend = 4
14% 13% 12% 11%
= 12.5%
Market value of Rs. 10 paid up share = 10%
12.5% × 10 = Rs. 12.50
Market value of Rs. 6 paid up share = 10%
12.5% × 6 = Rs. 7.50
(ii) Break up value of share will remain as before even if the controlling interest is being sold. But the market value of shares will be different as the controlling interest would enable the declaration of dividend upto the limit of disposable profit.
shares of value up Paid
*Profit Average × 100 = lakhs 16 Rs.
lakhs 3.4 Rs. × 100 = 21.25%
Market value of shares :
For Rs. 10 paid up share = 10%
21.25%× 10 = Rs. 21.25
For Rs. 6 paid up share = 10%
21.25% × 6 = Rs. 12.75
332
Fair value of shares = 2
value Market value Breakup
Fair value of Rs. 10 paid up share = 2
21.25 18.10 = Rs. 19.68
Fair value of Rs. 6 paid up share = 2

Question 6
Following are the information of two companies for the year ended 31st March, 2002 :
Particulars Company A Company B
Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each 8,00,000 10,00,000
10% Pref. Shares of Rs. 10 each 6,00,000 4,00,000
Profit after tax 3,00,000 3,00,000
Assume the Market expectation is 18% and 80% of the Profits are distributed.
(i) What is the rate you would pay to the Equity Shares of each Company ?
(a) If you are buying a small lot.
(b) If you are buying controlling interest shares.
(ii) If you plan to invest only in preference shares which company’s preference shares would you prefer ?
(iii) Would your rates be different for buying small lot, if the company ‘A’ retains 30% and company ‘B’ 10% of the profits?
Answer
(i) (a) Buying a small lot of equity shares: If the purpose of valuation is to provide data base to aid a decision of buying a small (non-controlling) position of the equity of the companies, dividend capitalisation method is most appropriate. Under this method, value of equity share is given by:
100rate tioncapitalisa Market
share per Dividend
Company A : Rs. 10018
4.2 = Rs. 13.33
Company B : Rs. 10018
208 = Rs. 11.56
(b) Buying controlling interest equity shares
If the purpose of valuation is to provide data base to aid a decision of buying controlling interest in the company, EPS capitalisation method is most appropriate. Under this method, value of equity is given by:
100rate tioncapitalisa Market
share(EPS) per Earning
Company A : Rs. 10018
3 = Rs. 16.67
Company B : Rs. 10018
62
.= Rs. 14.44
334
(ii) Preference Dividend coverage ratios of both companies are to be compared to make such decision.
Preference dividend coverage ratio is given by:
100Dividend Preference
tax after Profit
Company A : times 5Rs.60,000
3,00,000 Rs.
Company B : times 7.540,000 Rs.
3,00,000 Rs.
If we are planning to invest only in preference shares, we would prefer shares of B Company as there is more coverage for preference dividend.
(iii) Yes, the rates will be different for buying a small lot of equity shares, if the company ‘A’ retains 30% and company ‘B’ 10% of profits.
The new rates will be calculated as follows:
Company A : Rs. 10018
12

Earning per rupee of share capital = 0.419 Re. lakhs 3,270
lakhs 1,371 Rs.
Earning per fully paid share of Rs. 10 = Re. 0.419 10 = Rs. 4.19
Earning per share of Rs. 10 each, Rs. 8 paid-up = Re. 0.419 8 = Rs. 3.35
Earning per share of Rs. 5, fully paid-up = Re. 0.419 5 = Rs. 2.10
Value of fully paid share of Rs. 10 = 20.95 Rs. 10 2

Question 9
From the following figures calculate the value of the share of Rs.10 on (i) yield on capital employed basis, and (ii) dividend basis, the market expectation being 12%.
Year Capital employed (Rs.)
Profit (Rs.) Dividend %
2011 5500,000 880,000 12
2012 8000,000 1600,000 15
2013 1,00,00,000 2200,000 18
2014 150,00,000 3750,000 20
Answer 9
Since the dividend has been rising it would be better to take the weighted average which comes to 17.6%:
Year Rate Weight Product
2011 12 1 12
2012 15 2 30
2013 18 3 54
2014 20 4 80
176
The value of the share on the basis of dividend should be 17.6/12 × 10 =14.67
The yield on capital employed for each year and its weighted average is as follows:
Year Yield on capital employed (%)
Weight Product
2011 16 1 12
2012 20 2 30
2013 22 3 54
2014 25 4 80
222
Weighted average is 22.2%: on this basis the value should be 22.2/12 x Rs. 100 = Rs. 185.

Question 10
From the following data, compute the ‘Intrinsic’ value of each category of equity shares of Ankit Ltd.:
Shareholders funds
100,000 ‘A’ Equity shares of Rs.10 each, fully paid
100,000 ‘B’ Equity shares of Rs.10 each, Rs. 8 paid
100,000 ‘C’ Equity shares of Rs.10 each, Rs. 5 paid
Retained Earnings Rs.9,00,000
Answer 10
(i) Computation of Net assets
Worth of net assets is equal to shareholders’ fund, i.e.
Paid up value of ‘A’ equity shares 100,000 x Rs. 10 = 10,00,000
Paid up value of ‘B’ equity shares 100,000 x Rs. 8 = 8,00,000
Paid up value of ‘C’ equity shares 100,000 x Rs. 5 = 5,00,000
Retained earnings = 9,00,000
Net assets = 32,00,000
Add: Notional calls (100,000 x 2 + 100,000 x Rs. 5) = 7,00,000
= 39,00,000
Intrinsic Value of each equity share of Rs. 100 fully paid up =39,00,000 / 300,000= Rs. 13
(ii) Intrinsic values of each category of equity shares
‘A’ equity shares of Rs. 10 fully paid up 13
‘B’ equity shares of Rs. 10 each, out of which Rs. 8 paid up(13-2)=11
Value of ‘C’ Equity shares of Rs. 10 each, out of which Rs. 5 paid up (13-5)= 8
Question 11

Question 13
U.K. International Ltd. is developing a new production process. During the financial year ending 31st March, 2007, the total expenditure incurred was Rs.50 lakhs. This process met the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset on 1st December, 2006.
Expenditure incurred till this date was Rs. 22 lakhs. Further expenditure incurred on the process for the financial year ending 31st March, 2008 was Rs.80 lakhs. As at 31st March, 2008, the recoverable amount of know-how embodied in the process is estimated to be Rs. 72 lakhs. This includes estimates of future cash outflows as well as inflows.
You are required to calculate:
(i) Amount to be charged to Profit and Loss A/c for the year ending 31st March, 2007 and carrying value of intangible as on that date.
(ii) Amount to be charged to Profit and Loss A/c and carrying value of intangible as on 31st March, 2008. Ignore depreciation.
Answer 13
(a) As per AS 26 ‘Intangible Assets’
(i) For the year ending 31.03.2007
(1) Carrying value of intangiblet as on 31.03.2007:
At the end of financial year 31st March 2007, the production process will be recognized (i.e. carrying amount) as an intangible asset at a cost of Rs. 28 lakhs
345
(expenditure incurred since the date the recognition criteria were met, i.e., on 1st December 2006).
(2) Expenditure to be charged to Profit and Loss account:
The Rs. 22 lakhs is recognized as an expense because the recognition criteria were not met until 1st December 2007. This expenditure will not form part of the cost of the production process recognized in the balance sheet.
(ii) For the year ending 31.03.2008
(1) Expenditure to be charged to Profit and Loss account: (Rs. in lakhs)

The production process met the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset on 1st December 2005. Expenditure incurred till this date was Rs. 16 lakhs.
Further expenditure incurred on the process for the financial year ending 31st March 2007, was Rs.70 lakhs. As at 31-3-2007, the recoverable amount of know-how embodied in the process is estimated to be Rs. 62 lakhs. This includes estimates of future cash outflows as well as inflows. You are required to work out:
(a) What is the expenditure to be charged to the profit and loss account for the financial year ended 31st March 2006? (Ignore depreciation for this purpose)
(b) What is the carrying amount of the intangible asset as at 31st March 2006?
(c) What is the expenditure to be charged to the profit and loss account for the financial year ended 31st March 2007? (Ignore depreciation for this purpose)
(d) What is the carrying amount of the intangible asset as at 31st March 2007?
Answer
(a) Rs. 16 lakhs
346
(b) Carrying amount as on 31-3-2006 will be expenditure incurred after 1-12-2005 = Rs. 24 lakhs
(c) Book cost of intangible asset as on 31-3-2007 is as follows
Total Book cost = Rs.(70 + 24) lakhs = Rs. 94 lakhs
Recoverable amount as estimated = Rs. 62 lakhs
Difference to be charged to Profit and Loss account = Rs. 32 lakhs (d) Rs. 62 lakhs
Question 15
A Pharma Company spent Rs. 33 lakhs during the accounting year ended 31st March, 2006 on a research project to develop a drug to treat “AIDS”. Experts are of the view that it may take four years to establish whether the drug will be effective or not and even if found effective it may take two to three more years to produce the medicine, which can be marketed. The company wants to treat the expenditure as deferred revenue expenditure. Comment.
Answer
As per para 41 of AS 26 ‘Intangible Assets’, no intangible asset arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project) should be recognized. Expenditure on research (or on the research phase of an internal project) should be recognized as an expense when it is incurred.
Thus the company cannot treat the expenditure as deferred revenue expenditure. The entire amount of Rs. 33 lakhs spent on research project should be charged as an expense in the year ended 31st March, 2006.

Question 1
What are the contents of “Liquidators’ statement of account”? How frequently does a liquidator has to submit such statement?
Answer
The statement prepared by the liquidator showing receipts and payments of cash in case of voluntary winding up is called “Liquidators’ statement of account”. There is no double entry involved in the preparation of liquidator’s statement of account. It is only a statement though presented in the form of an account.
While preparing the liquidator’s statement of account, receipts are shown in the following order:
(a) Amount realised from assets are included in the prescribed order.
(b) In case of assets specifically pledged in favour of creditors, only the surplus from it, if any, is entered as ‘surplus from securities’.
(c) In case of partly paid up shares, the equity shareholders should be called up to pay necessary amount (not exceeding the amount of uncalled capital) if creditors’ claims/claims of preference shareholders can’t be satisfied with the available amount. Preference shareholders would be called upon to contribute (not exceeding the amount as yet uncalled on the shares) for paying of creditors.
(d) Amounts received from calls to contributories made at the time of winding up are shown on the Receipts side.
(e) Receipts per Trading Account are also included on the Receipts side.
Payments made to redeem securities and cost of execution and payments per Trading Account are deducted from total receipts.
Payments are made and shown in the following order :
(a) Legal charges;
(b) Liquidator’s expenses;
(c) Preferential (i) Overriding Preferential Creditors (ii) Remaining Preferential Creditors;
(d) Secured loan including, Debenture holders (including interest up to the date of winding up if the company is insolvent and to the date of payment if it is solvent);
(e) Unsecured Loan, Creditors:
(i) Unsecured creditors (Excluding Preferential Creditors);

Liquidation of
Company
348
(f) Preferential shareholders (Arrears of dividends on cumulative preference shares should be paid up to the date of commencement of winding up); and
(g) Equity shareholders.
Liquidator’s statement of account of the winding up is prepared for the period starting from the commencement of winding up to the close of winding up by the Liquidators.
Question 2
Briefly explain the liability of contributories included in the list B of Contributories.
Answer
The shareholders who transferred partly paid shares (otherwise than by operation of law or by death) within one year, prior to the date of winding up may be called upon to pay an amount (not exceeding the amount not called up when the shares were transferred) to pay off such creditors as existed on the date of transfer of shares.
Their liability will crystallize only (i) when the existing assets available with the liquidator are not sufficient to cover the liabilties; (ii) when the existing shareholders (“A” Contributors) fail to pay the amount due on the shares to the liquidator.

Number of equivalent equity shares:
2,850 shares of Rs. 100 each = 5,700 shares of Rs. 50 each

= 6,650 shares of Rs. 50 each
Final payment to equity shareholders = shares equity equivalent of number Total

= Rs. 99,750 / 6,650 shares = Rs. 15 per share to equity shareholders of Rs. 50 each.
Therefore for equity shareholders of Rs. 100 each 50

= Rs. 30 per share to equity shareholders of Rs. 100 each.
Calls in advance must be paid first, so as to pay the shareholders on prorata basis. Equity shareholders of Rs. 50 each have to pay Rs. 20 and receive Rs. 15 each.
As a result, they are required to pay net [20-15] Rs. 5 per share i.e. 1000*5=5000.

Working Notes:
1. Unsecured portion in partly secured creditors = Rs.3,32,500-Rs.3,04,000

3. Liquidator’s remuneration on payment to unsecured creditors
Cash available for unsecured creditors after all payments including payment to preferential creditors & liquidator’s remuneration on it = Rs .12,72,050
[ 19,00,000+55,100]-[55,100+950+9,500+5,70,000+47,500]= 12,72,050

Question 7
Explain the concept of ‘Corporate Financial Reporting’.
Answer
Financial reporting may be defined as communication of published financial statement and related information from a business enterprise to stakeholders. It is the reporting of accounting information of an entity and contains booth qualitative and quantitative information. The Financial report made to the management is generally known as internal reporting, while financial reporting made to the shareholder investors/management is known as external reporting. The internal reporting is a part of management information system and the uses MIS reporting for the purpose of analysis and as an aid in decision making process.
Corporate Reporting is a very hot topic now days. Various statues have prescribed certain statements to be disclosed periodically by a corporate entity. The purpose of such mandate is to convey a true and fair view of the operating results and financial position to the users of financial reports. Within a corporate context, financial reporting generally covers accounting data sets in the form of balance sheet, a statement of profit and loss, a statement of cash flows.
Question 8
What is value added statement? Discuss.
Answer
Value Added Statement is a simplified financial statement that shows how much wealth has been created by a company. A value added statement calculates total output by adding sales, changes in stock, and other incomes, then subtracting depreciation, interest, taxation, dividends, and the amounts paid to suppliers and employees. Such value added can be taken to represent in monetary terms the net output of an enterprise. This is the difference between the total value of its output and the value of the inputs of materials and services obtained from other enterprises. The value added is seen to be due to the combined efforts of capital, management and employees, and the statement shows how the value added has been distributed to each of these factors.
The conventional Value added statement is divided into two parts:
1. The first part shows value added
2. The second part shows application of the value added
Question 9
What is Economic Value Added and how is it calculated?
Answer
Economic Value Added (EVA) is a residual income particularly considered as a benchmark to measure earning efficiency. It is simply the operating profit after tax less a charge for the capital employed, equity as well as debt, used in the business.
380
Mathematically EVA= OPBT - Tax - (TCE × COC)
Where:
OPBT = Opening Profit Before Tax
TCE = Total Capital Employed
COC = Cost of Control
Since, EVA includes both profit and loss as well as balance sheet efficiency as well as the opportunity cost of investor capital - it is better linked to changes in shareholders wealth and is superior to traditional financial measures such as Profit After Tax.
EVA, additionally, is a tool for management to focus on the impact of their decisions in increasing shareholders wealth. These include both strategic decisions such as what investments to make, which business to exit, what financing structure is optimal; as well as operational decisions involving trade-offs between profit and asset efficiency such as whether to make inhouse or outsource, repair or replace an equipment, whether to make short or long production runs etc.
Question 9
What is Shareholder Value Added and how is it calculated? Discuss.
Answer
Shareholder Value Added (SVA) represents the economic profits generated by a business above and beyond the minimum return required by all providers of capital. “Value” is added when the overall net economic cash flow of the business exceeds the economic cost of all the capital employed to produce the operating profit.
Therefore, SVA integrates financial statements of the business (profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow) into one meaningful measure.
The SVA approach is a methodology which recognises that equity holders as well as debt financiers need to be compensated for the bearing of investment risk. The SVA methodology is a highly flexible approach to assist management in the decision making process. Its applications include performance monitoring, capital budgeting, output pricing and market valuation of the entity.
Question 10
What are the drawbacks of adopting Shareholder Value Added (SVA) discuss.
Answer
Some of the drawbacks of Shareholder Value added as a measure are:
1. It is by nature an aggregate measure, in order to analyse the underlying cause of any change in calculated value between years, it is necessary to fully comprehend the value drivers and activities specific to a given firm.
2. There may be certain enterprises which are subject to any degree of price regulation then it may not be possible for management to adjust output prices to achieve a
381
commercial return in response to upward movements in input prices. Such a situation may result in SVA being reduced even though there may have been no decrease in overall efficiency.
3. Combined with the use of traditional accounting measures, a thorough knowledge of the value drivers of the business will assist in determining the underlying causes of fluctuations in the value added measure.
4. The use of SVA is not a substitute for detailed analysis of business drivers, rather it is an additional measurement tool with an economic foundation
Question 11
What is benefit of adopting Shareholder Value Added discuss? Discuss.
Answer
To create value, management must have an understanding of the variables that drive the value of the business. An organisation cannot act directly on value. It has to act on factors it can influence, such as client satisfaction, cost, capital expenditures, the debt / equity mix and so forth. Through an understanding of these drivers of value, management is able to establish a consistent dialogue, both internally and with the Shareholder, regarding what needs to be accomplished to create value. The benefits of moving towards SVA include: 1. Overall, value-based performance measures will result in greater accountability for the investment of new capital, as well as for the use of existing investments. 2. Organisation will have the opportunity to apply a meaningful private sector benchmark to evaluate performance. 3. Managers will be provided with an improved focus on maximizing shareholder value.

Accounting Standard –1 Disclosure of Accounting Policies
Question 1
X Ltd. has sold its building for Rs. 50 lakhs to Y Ltd. and has also given the possession to Y Ltd. The book value of the building is Rs. 30 Lakhs. As on 31st March, 2015, the documentation and legal formalities are pending. The company has not recorded the sale and has shown the amount received as advance. Do you agree with this treatment?
Answer
The economic reality and substance of the transaction is that the rights and beneficial interest in the property has been transferred although legal title has not been transferred. X Ltd. should record the sale and recognize the profit of Rs. 20 lakhs in its profit and loss account. The building should be eliminated from the balance sheet.
Question 2
XYZ Ltd. was making provision for non-moving stocks based on no issues for the last 12 months up to 31.3.2014. The company wants to provide during the year ending 31.3.2015 based on technical evaluation:
Total value of stock Rs. 100 lakhs
Provision required based on 12 months issue Rs. 3.5 lakhs
Provision required based on technical evaluation Rs. 2.5 lakhs
Does this amount to change in Accounting Policy? Can the company change the method of provision?
Answer
The decision of making provision for non-moving stocks on the basis of technical evaluation does not amount to change in accounting policy. Accounting policy of a company may require that provision for non-moving stocks should be made. The method of estimating the amount of provision may be changed in case a more prudent estimate can be made.
In the given case, considering the total value of stock, the change in the amount of required provision of non-moving stock from Rs.3.5 lakhs to Rs.2.5 lakhs is also not material. The disclosure can be made for such change in the following lines by way of notes to the accounts in the annual accounts of XYZ Ltd. for the year 2014-15:

Accounting Standards
383
“The company has provided for non-moving stocks on the basis of technical evaluation unlike preceding years. Had the same method been followed as in the previous year, the profit for the year and the corresponding effect on the year end net assets would have been higher by Rs.1 lakh.”
Accounting Standards-2 Valuation of Inventories
Question 1
Anand Ltd. purchased 1,00,000 MT for Rs. 100 each MT of raw material and introduced in the production process to get 85,000 MT as output. Normal wastage is 5%. In the process, company incurred the following expenses:
Direct Labour Rs.10,00,000
Direct Variable Overheads Rs. 1,00,000
Direct Fixed Overheads Rs. 1,00,000
(Including interest Rs. 40,625)
Of the above 80,000 MT was sold during the year and remaining 5,000 MT remained in closing stock. Due to fall in demand in market the selling price for the finished goods on the closing day was estimated to be Rs. 105 per MT. Calculate the value of closing stock.
Answer
Calculation of cost for closing stock Rs.
Cost of Purchase (1,00,000 x 100) 1,00,00,000
Direct Labour 10,00,000
Variable Overhead 1,00,000
Fixed Overhead
(1,00,000− 40,625) × 85,000 53,125 (1,00,000-5,000) or 95000
Cost of Production 1,11,53,125
Cost of closing stock per unit (1,11,53,125/85,000) = Rs. 131 (approx)
Net Realisable Value per unit Rs. 105
As per AS – 2, Since net realisable value is less than cost, closing stock will be valued at Rs. 105. Therefore closing stock is Rs. 5,25,000 (5,000 x 105).
384
Question 2
From the following details you are required to calculate the closing stock as on that date.
Particulars Kg. Rs.
Opening Stock: Finished Goods 1,000 25,000
Raw Materials 1,100 11,000
Purchase of Raw Materials 10,000 1,00,000
Labour - 76,500
Overheads (Fixed) - 75,000
Sales 10,000 2,80,000
Closing Stock: Raw Materials 900
Finished Goods 1200
The expected production for the year was 15,000 kg of the finished product. Due to fall in market demand the sales price for the finished goods was Rs. 20 per kg and the replacement cost for the raw material was Rs. 9.50 per kg on the closing day.
Answer
Calculation of cost for closing stock Rs.
Cost of materials (10,200 x 10) 1,02,000
Direct Labour 76,500
Fixed Overhead 75,000 x 10,200/15,000 51,000
Cost of Production 2,29,500
Cost per unit (2,29,500/10,200) 22.50
Net Realisable Value per unit 20.00
Since net realisable value is less than cost, closing stock will be valued at Rs. 20. As NRV of the finished goods is less than its cost, relevant raw materials will be valued at replacement cost i.e. Rs. 9.50. Therefore, value of closing stock: Finished Goods (1,200 x 20) Rs. 24,000, and Raw Materials (900 x 9.50) Rs. 8,550.
385
Question 3

Accounting Standards-4 Contingencies and Events occurring after Balance Sheet Date
Question 1
Asmi Ltd., whose accounting year ends on 31/03/2015, agreed in principle to sell a plot of land on 18/03/2015 at a price to be determined by an independent valuer. Pending the agreement for sale and due to non-receipt of valuers report, the sale of the land could not be completed up to 31/03/15. The company received the report on April 7, 2015 and the agreement was signed on April 10, 2015. The financial statements for 2014-15 were approved by the board on May 12, 2015.
Answer
The sale of land, is an event occurring after the balance sheet date. Also, the condition, which led to the sell, existed on the balance sheet date. The signing of the agreement
386
provides further evidence as to the condition that existed on the balance sheet date. The sale of land after the balance sheet date is therefore an adjusting event, which means the sale transaction should be recorded in books of A Ltd. for the purpose of its financial statements for 2014-15.
Question2
A company follows April-March as its financial year. The company recognizes cheques dated 31st March or before, received from customers after balance sheet date but before approval of financial statement by debiting Cheques in hand A/c and crediting the Debtors A/c. The Cheques in hand is shown in balance sheet as an item of cash and cash equivalents. All Cheques in hand are presented to bank in the month of April and are also realised in the same month in normal course after deposit in the bank.
Answer
Even if the cheques bear the date 31st March or before, the cheques received after 31st March do not represent any condition or situation existing on 31st March. Thus the collection of cheques after balance sheet date is not an adjusting event. Recognition of cheques in hand is therefore not consistent with requirements of AS 4. Also the collection of cheques after balance sheet date does not amounts to any material change or commitments affecting financial position of the enterprise, and so no disclosure of such collections in the Directors’ Report is necessary.
Hence cheques in hand do not qualify to be recognized as asset on 31st March.
Question 3
An earthquake destroyed a major warehouse of Anu Ltd. on 20.5.2015. The accounting year of the company ended on 31.3.2015. The accounts were approved on 30.6.2015. The loss from earthquake is estimated at Rs.30 lakhs. State with reasons, whether the loss due to earthquake is an adjusting or non-adjusting event and how the fact of loss is to be disclosed by the company?
Answer 3
AS 4 states that adjustments to assets and liabilities are not appropriate for events occurring after the balance sheet date, if such events do not relate to conditions existing at the balance sheet date. The destruction of warehouse due to earthquake did not exist on the balance sheet date i.e. 31.3.2015. Therefore, loss occurred due to earthquake is not to be recognised in the financial year 2014-2015.
However, unusual changes affecting the existence or substratum of the enterprise after the balance sheet date may indicate a need to consider the use of fundamental accounting assumption of going concern in the preparation of the financial statements.
As per the information given in the question, the earthquake has caused major destruction; therefore fundamental accounting assumption of going concern is called upon. Hence, the fact of earthquake together with an estimated loss of Rs. 30 lakhs should be disclosed in the Report of the Directors for the financial year 2014-2015.

Accounting Standards-5
Question 1
The company has to pay delayed cotton clearing charges over and above the negotiated price for taking delayed delivery of cotton from the Suppliers' Godown. Upto 2013-14, the company has regularly included such charges in the valuation of closing stock. This being in the nature of interest the company has decided to exclude it from closing stock valuation for the year 2014-15. This would result into decrease in profit by Rs. 7.60 lakhs
Answer
AS 5 states that a change in an accounting policy should be made only if the adoption of a different accounting policy is required by statute or for compliance with an accounting standard or if it is considered that the change would result in a more appropriate presentation of the financial statements of an enterprise. Therefore the change in the method of stock valuation is justified in view of the fact that the change is in line with the recommendations of AS 2 and result in more appropriate preparation of the financial statements. As per AS 2, this accounting policy adopted for valuation of inventories including the cost formulae used should be disclosed in the financial statements.
Also, appropriate disclosure of the change and the amount by which any item in the financial statements is affected by such change is necessary as per AS 1, AS 2 and AS 5. Therefore, the under mentioned note should be given in the annual accounts.
"In compliance with the Accounting Standards issued by the ICAl, delayed cotton clearing charges which are in the nature of interest have been excluded from the valuation of closing stock unlike preceding years. Had the company continued the accounting practice followed earlier, the value of closing stock as well as profit before tax for the year would have been higher by Rs. 7.60 lakhs."
Question 2
Mr. Raju an employee of CCO Ltd. went on leave with a pay for 9 months on 1.1.2015 up to 30.9.2015. His monthly pay was Rs.25,000. While preparing the financial statement on 30.6.2015 for the year ended 31.3.15, the expense of salary of Mr. Raju for 3 months (1.1.15 to 31.3.15) was not provided due to omission. When Mr. Raju joined on 1.10.15, the whole salary for 9 months was duly paid to him. Give the accounting treatment as per AS- 5, if Mr. Raju was terminated from services on 01.01.15 and was reinstated in service by court on 30.9.15 with full pay protection, then what would be the accounting treatment?
Answer
In this case, three month salary of Rs.75,000 is prior period expense and following entry should be passed:
Salary A/c Dr. 1,50,000
Prior period expense (Salary) A/c Dr. 75,000
To Bank A/c 2,25,000
388
If Mr. Raju was terminated from service on 1.1.15 and was re-instated in service by the Court on 30.9.15 with full pay protection(i.e. total salary was rewarded to him). As the employee was reinstated in service as per the Court’s Order as on 30.9.2015, the following entry should be made:
Salary A/c Dr. 2,25,000
To Bank A/c 2,25,000
In such a case, there shall arise no error or omission while preparing the financial statements for the earlier year.

Question 1
Mohan undertook a contract for Rs. 15,00,000 on an arrangement that 80% of the value of work done as certified by the architect of the contractee, should be paid immediately and that the remaining 20% be retained until the contract was completed.
In 2013, the amounts expended were Rs. 3,60,000; the work was certified for Rs. 3,00,000 and 80% of this was paid as agreed. It was estimated that future expenditure to complete the contract would be Rs. 10,00,000. In 2014, the amounts expended were Rs. 4,75,000.
390
Three-fourths of the contract was certified as done by December 31st and 80% of this was received accordingly. It was estimated that future expenditure to complete the contract would be Rs. 4,00,000. In 2015, the amounts expended were Rs. 3,10,000 and on June 30th the whole contract was completed.
Show how the contract revenue would be recognised in the profit & loss account for each year.
Answer
2013
Contract work in progress = 10,00,000 3,60,000
100 x 3,60,000
= 26.47%
Revenue (15,00,000x26.47%) = 3,97,050
Less: Contract cost = 3,60,000
Profit = 37050
2014
Contract work in progress =
4,00,000 8,35,000
100 x 4,75,000 3,60,000
= 67.61%
Revenue (15,00,000x67.61%) = 10,14,150
Less: Contract cost = 8,35,000
Profit = 1,79,150
Less : Profit already recognized = 37,050
Profit = 142,100
2015
Contract Revenue = 15,00,000
Contract Cost (8,35,000+3,10,000) = 11,45,000
Total Profit = 3,55,000
Less: profit already recognized = 1,79,150
Profit = 1,75,850
Question 2
A firm of contractors obtained a contract for construction of bridges across river Shipra. The following details are available in the records kept for the year ended 31st March, 2015.
(Rs. in lakhs)
Total Contract Price 1,000
Work Certified 500
391
Work not Certified 105
Estimated further Cost to Completion 495
Progress Payment Received 400
To be Received 140
The firm seeks your advice and assistance in the presentation of accounts keeping in view the requirements of AS 7 (Revised).
Answer
(a) Amount of foreseeable loss (Rs. in lakhs)
Total cost of construction (500 + 105 + 495) 1,100
Less: Total contract price (1,000)
Total foreseeable loss to be recognized as expense 100
According to AS 7, when it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss should be recognized as an expense immediately.
(b) Contract work-in-progress i.e. cost incurred to date are Rs. 605 lakhs
(Rs.in lakhs)
Work certified 500
Work not certified 105
605
This is 55% (605/1,100 × 100) of total costs of construction.
(c) Proportion of total contract value recognised as revenue as per para 21 of AS 7 (Revised).
55% of Rs. 1,000 lakhs = Rs. 550 lakhs
(d) Amount due from/to customers = Contract costs + Recognised profits – Recognised losses – (Progress payments received + Progress payments to be received)= [605 + Nil – 100 – (400 + 140)] Rs. in lakhs, = [605 – 100 – 540] Rs. in lakhs = Rs. 35 lakh.
Amount due to customers = Rs. 35 lakhs, The amount of Rs. 35 lakhs will be shown in the balance sheet as liability.
(e) The relevant disclosures under AS 7 (Revised) are given below: Rs.
Contract revenue 550
Contract expenses 605
Recognized profits less recognized losses (100)
Progress billings(400 + 140) 540
Retentions (billed but not received from contractee) 140
Gross amount due to customers 35

Question 1
The Board of Directors decided on 31.3.2015 to increase the sale price of certain items retrospectively from 1st January, 2015. In view of this price revision with effect from 1st January 2015, the company has to receive Rs. 15 lakhs from its customers in respect of sales made from 1st January, 2015 to 31st March, 2015 and the Accountant cannot make up his mind whether to include Rs. 15 lakhs in the sales for 2014-2015
Answer
Price revision was effected during the current accounting period 2014-2015. As a result, the company stands to receive Rs. 15 lakhs from its customers in respect of sales made from 1st January, 2015 to 31st March, 2015. If the company is able to assess the ultimate collection with reasonable certainty, then additional revenue arising out of the said price revision may be recognised in 2015- 2016 vide Para 10 of AS 9.
Question 2
B Co. Ltd., used certain resources of A Co. Ltd. In return A Co. Ltd. received Rs. 10 lakhs and Rs. 15 lakhs as interest and royalties respective from B Co. Ltd. during the year 2014-15. You are required to state whether and on what basis these revenues can be recognised by A Co. Ltd.
Answer
As per para 13 of AS 9 on Revenue Recognition, revenue arising from the use by others of enterprise resources yielding interest and royalties should only be recognised when no significant uncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists. These revenues are recognised on the following bases:
(i) Interest: on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
(ii) Royalties: on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement.
Question 3
A Limited has recognized Rs. 10 lakhs on accrual basis income from dividend on units of mutual funds of the face value of Rs. 50 lakhs held by it as at the end of the financial year 31st March, 2015. The dividends on mutual funds were declared at the rate of 20% on 15th June, 2015. The dividend was proposed on 10th April, 2015 by the declaring company. Whether the treatment is as per the relevant Accounting Standard? You are asked to answer with reference to provisions of Accounting Standard.
393
Answer
Accounting Standard 9 on Revenue Recognition states that dividends from investments in shares are not recognised in the statement of profit and loss until a right to receive payment is established.
In the given case, the dividend is proposed on 10th April, 2015, while it is declared on 15th June, 2015. Hence, the right to receive payment is established on 15th June, 2015. As per the above mentioned paragraphs, income from dividend on units of mutual funds should be recognised by A Ltd. in the financial year ended 31st March, 2015.
The recognition of Rs. 10 lakhs on accrual basis in the financial year 2014-2015 is not as per AS 9 'Revenue Recognition'.

How Government grant relating to specific fixed asset is treated in the books as per AS-12?
Answer
In accordance with AS 12, government grants related to specific fixed assets should be presented in the balance sheet by showing the grant as a deduction from the gross value of the assets concerned in arriving at their book value. Where the grant related to a specific fixed asset equals the whole, or virtually the whole, of the cost of the asset, the asset should be shown in the balance sheet at a nominal value. Alternatively, government grants related to depreciable fixed assets may be treated as deferred income which should be recognized in the profit and loss statement on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the

asset, i.e., such grants should be allocated to income over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on those assets is charged. Grants related to non-depreciable assets are credited to capital reserve under this method, as there is usually no charge to income in respect of such assets. However, if a grant related to a non-depreciable asset requires the fulfillment of certain obligations, the grant is credited to income over the same period over which the cost of meeting such obligations is charged to income. The deferred income is suitably disclosed in the balance sheet pending its apportionment to profit and loss account
Question 4
How would you record a non-monetary grant received from the Government as per AS 12?
Answer
According to para 7.1 of AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, Government grants may take the form of non-monetary assets such as land or other resources, given at concessional rates. In these circumstances, it is usual to account for such assets at their acquisition cost. Non-monetary grants given free of cost are recorded at a nominal value.

Question 1
An unquoted long term investment is carried in the books at a cost of Rs. 2 lakhs. The published accounts of the unlisted company received in May, 2015 showed that the company was incurring cash losses with declining market share and the long term investment may not fetch more than Rs. 20,000. How will you deal with this in preparing the financial statements of X Ltd. for the year ended 31st March, 2015?
Answer
As it is stated in the question that financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2015 are under preparation, the views have been given on the basis that the financial statements are yet to be completed and approved by the Board of Directors. Investments classified as long term investments should be carried in the financial statements at cost. However, provision for diminution shall be made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each investment individually. Para 17 of AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’ states that indicators of the value of an investment are obtained by reference to its market value, the investee's assets and results and the expected cash flows from the investment. On these bases, the facts of the given case clearly suggest that the provision for diminution should be made to reduce the carrying amount of long term investment to Rs. 20,000 in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2015.
Question 2
Ashu Ltd. acquired 2,000 debentures in Vikas Ltd. by issue of 10,000 equity shares having a face of Rs.100 each, whose market value is Rs.150 per share. The debentures of Vikas Ltd were listed at Rs.800 but the face value is Rs.500 only. What should be the cost of the investments? Ignore pre-acquisition interest.
399
Answer
As per AS-13, if investments has been purchased in exchange of assets then fair value of assets given up or fair value of assets acquired whichever is clearly evident can be taken as consideration.
Hence cost of investment 10,000 equity shares @150=15,00,000.
Question 3
On 1st April, Kalpana Ltd. purchased 12% Debentures in Soni Ltd. for Rs.7,50,000. The face value of these debentures were Rs.5,00,000. Interest on debentures falls due for payment on 30th June, and 31st December. Compute the cost of acquisition of debentures.
Answer
Amount Paid for debentures 7,50,000
Pre acquisition interest 5,00,000 x 12% x 3/12 = 15,000
Cost = 7,35,000
Question 4
What are the disclosure requirements of AS-13.
Answer
The disclosure requirements as per para 35 of AS 13 are as follows:
(i) Accounting policies followed for valuation of investments.
(ii) Classification of investment into current and long term in addition to classification as per Schedule VI of Companies Act in case of company.

(i) All the assets and liabilities of the transferor company become, after amalgamation, the assets and liabilities of the transferee company.
(ii) Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the face value of the equity shares of the transferor company (other than the equity shares already held therein, immediately before the amalgamation, by the transferee company or its subsidiaries or their nominees) become equity shareholders of the transferee company by virtue of the amalgamation.
(iii) The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders of the transferor company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee company is discharged by the transferee company wholly by the issue of equity shares in the transferee company, except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional shares.
(iv) The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on, after the amalgamation, by the transferee company.
(v) No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of the transferor company when they are incorporated in the financial statements of the transferee company except to ensure uniformity of accounting policies.
Question 2
What are the methods of Accounting for Amalgamations.
Answer
As per AS 14 on ‘Accounting for Amalgamations’, there are two main methods of accountingfor amalgamations:
(i) The Pooling of Interest Method
Under this method, the assets, liabilities and reserves of the transferor company are recorded by the transferee company at their existing carrying amounts (after making the necessary adjustments).
If at the time of amalgamation, the transferor and the transferee companies have conflicting accounting policies, a uniform set of accounting policies is adopted following the amalgamation. The effects on the financial statements of any changes in accounting policies are reported in accordance with AS 5 on ‘Net
401
Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies’.
(ii) The Purchase Method
Under the purchase method, the transferee company accounts for the amalgamation either by incorporating the assets and liabilities at their existing carrying amounts or by allocating the consideration to individual identifiable assets and liabilities of the transferor company on the basis of their fair values at the date of amalgamation. The identifiable assets and liabilities may include assets and liabilities not recorded in the financial statements of the transferor company.
Where assets and liabilities are restated on the basis of their fair values, the determination of fair values may be influenced by the intentions of the transferee company.
Question 3

The Accountant is on a dilemma as to how to account for the total interest of Rs. 52.20 lakhs incurred during 2014-2015 on the entire Institutional Term Loan of Rs.580 lakhs.
Answer
As per para 6 of AS 16 ‘Borrowing Costs’, borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset should be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs should be recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs should be expensed except where they are directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessary takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.

Question 1
Identify the related parties in the following cases as per AS-18
A Ltd. holds 51% of B Ltd.
B Ltd holds 51% of O Ltd.
Z Ltd holds 49% of O Ltd
Answer
A Ltd., B Ltd. & O Ltd. are related to each other. Z Ltd. & O Ltd. are related to each other by virtue of Associate relationship. However, neither A Ltd. nor B Ltd. is related to Z Ltd. and vice versa.
Control: (a) ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than one half of the voting power of anenterprise, or (b) control of the composition of the board of directors in the case of a company or of the composition of the corresponding governing body in case of any other enterprise, or (c) a substantial interest in voting power and the power to direct, by statute or agreement, the financial and/or operating policies of the enterprise.
Question 2
Kaveri Ltd. sold goods for Rs.90 lakhs to Yamuna Ltd. during financial year ended 31-3-2015. The Managing Director of Kaveri Ltd. own 100% of Yamuna Ltd. The sales were made to Yamuna Ltd. at normal selling prices followed by Kaveri Ltd. The Chief accountant of Kaveri Ltd. contends that these sales need not require a different treatment from the other sales made by the company and hence no disclosure is necessary as per the accounting standard. Is the Chief Accountant correct?
Answer
As per AS 18 ‘Related Party Disclosures’, Enterprises over which a key management personnel is able to exercise significant influence are related parties. This includes
406
enterprises owned by directors or major shareholders of the reporting enterprise that have a member of key management in common with the reporting enterprise transaction between them is required irrespective of whether the transaction was done at normal selling price.
Hence the contention of Chief Accountant of Kaveri Ltd is wrong.
Question 3
Mr. Kapil a relative of key Management personnel received remuneration of Rs. 2,50,000 for his services in the company for the period from 1.4.2014 to 30.6.2014. On 1.7.2014 he left the service. Should the relative be identified as at the closing date i.e. on 31.3.2015 for the purposes of AS 18?
Answer
According to para 10 of AS 18 on Related Party Disclosures, parties are considered to be related if at any time during the reporting period one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and/or operating decisions.
Hence, Mr. Kapil, a relative of key management personnel should be identified as relative as at the closing date i.e. on 31.3.2015.
Question 4
A Ltd. sold goods to its associate Company for the 1st quarter ending 30.6.2014. After that, the related party relationship ceased to exist. However, goods were supplied as was supplied to any other ordinary customer. Decide whether transactions of the entire year has to be disclosed as related party transaction.
Answer
As per para 23 of AS 18, transactions of A Ltd. with its associate company for the first quarter ending 30.06.2014 only are required to be disclosed as related party transactions. The transactions for the period in which related party relationship did not exist need not be reported.

Question 1
Tim Ltd. wishes to obtain a machine tool costing Rs. 20 lakhs by way of lease. The effective life of the machine tool is 12 years but the Company requires it only for the first five years. It enters into an agreement with Sim Ltd. for a lease rental of Rs. 2 lakhs p.a.
The company is not sure about the treatment of these lease rentals and hence requests your assistance in proper disclosure of the same. For calculation purposes, take the implicit rate of interest at 15%. PV factors are : 0.87, 0.76, 0.66, 0.57, and 0.50.
407
Answer
AS 19 ‘Leases’, a lease will be classified as finance lease if at the inception of the lease, the present value of minimum lease payment amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of leased asset. In the given case, the implicit rate of interest is given at 15%. The present value of minimum lease payments at 15% using PV- Annuity Factor can be computed as follows:
Annuity Factor (Year 1 to Year 5) 3.36 (approx.)
Present value of minimum lease payments (for Rs.2 lakhs each year) Rs.6.72 lakhs (approx.)
Thus, present value of minimum lease payments is Rs.10.08 lakhs and the fair value of the machine is Rs.20 lakhs. In a finance lease, lease term should be for the major part of the economic life of the asset even if title is not transferred. However, in the given case, the effective useful life of the machine is 12 years while the lease is only for five years.
Therefore, lease agreement is an operating lease. Lease payments under an operating lease should be recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit.

No. of shares including bonus 60,00,000 60,00,000
Earnings per share / Adjusted Earning per share Rs. 1 Rs. 0.3
Since the bonus issue is an issue without consideration, the issue is treated as if it had occurred prior to the beginning of the year 2013, the earliest period reported.
Question 3
Net profit for the year 2014 Rs. 11,00,000
Net profit for the year 2015 Rs. 15,00,000
No. of shares outstanding prior to rights issue 5,00,000 shares
Rights issue price Rs. 15.00
Last date to exercise rights 1st March 2015
Rights issue is one new share for each five outstanding (i.e. 1,00,000 new shares)
Fair value of one equity share immediately prior to exercise of rights on 1st March 2015 was Rs. 21.00. Compute Basic Earnings Per Share.
Answer
Number of shares outstanding prior to exercise Number of shares issued in the exercise,
Fair value of shares =6
1 x 15 21 x shares 5 = Rs. 20.00
Paid part in Right issue = 20
15 x 1,00,000=75,000
Bonus shares in Right issue=1,00,000-75,000=25,000
Computation of earnings per share:
EPS for the year 2014 as originally reported: 11,00,000/5,00,000 shares = Rs. 2.20
EPS for the year 2014 restated for rights issue: 11,00,000/ (5,00,000 shares +25,000) = Rs. 2.10
EPS for the year 2015 including effects of rights issue:
(5,00,000 x 12/12) + (75,000 x 10/12) +25,000x12/12= 5,87,500 shares, EPS = 15,00,000/5,87,500= Rs. 2.55

Answer
2015 (Rs.)
Adjusted net profit for the current year (1,00,00,000 + 12,00,000 – 3,60,000)
1,08,40,000
No. of equity shares resulting from conversion of debentures: 10,00,000 Shares
No. of equity shares used to compute diluted EPS: (50,00,000 + 10,00,000)
60,00,000
Diluted earnings per share: (1,08,40,000/60,00,000) 1.81

October 2014 – December, 2014 per month 1,00,000 3,00,000
January 2015 – March, 2015 per month 0 4,00,000
The company has enforced a gradual enforcement of change in product line on the basis of an overall plan. The Board of Directors of the Company has passed a resolution in March, 2015 to this effect. The company follows calendar year as its accounting year. Should it be treated as discontinuing operation?
Answer
Business enterprises frequently close facilities, abandon products, or even product lines, and reduce the size of their workforce in response to market forces. These kinds of terminations, generally, are not in themselves discontinuing operations unless they satisfy the definition criteria. By gradually reducing the size of operations in the product line of Washing Soap, the company has increased its scale of operations in Bathing Soap. Such a change is a gradual or evolutionary, phasing out of a product line or class of services does not meet definition criteria in AS 24 – namely, disposing of substantially in its entirety, a component of the enterprise. Hence, changeover is not a discontinuing operation.

Information regarding the 1st quarter ending on 30th June, 2015 is as follows:
Sales 80 crores
Salary and other expenses 60 crores
Advertisement expenses (routine) 4 crores
Administrative and selling expenses 8 crores
While preparing interim financial report for first quarter Holy Corporation wants to defer Rs. 10 crores expenditure to third quarter on the argument that third quarter is having more sales therefore third quarter should be debited by more expenditure. Considering the seasonal nature of business and the expenditures are uniform throughout all quarters, calculate the result of the first quarter as per AS-25. Also give a comment on the company’s view.
Answer
Particulars (Rs. in crores)
Result of first quarter ending 30th June, 2015
Turnover 80
Other Income Nil
Total (a) 80
Less: Changes in inventories Nil
Salaries and other cost 60
Administrative and selling Expenses (4+8) 12
Total (b) 72
Profit (a)-(b) 8
According to AS-25 the Income and Expense should be recognized when they are earned and incurred respectively. Therefore seasonal incomes will be recognized when they occur. Thus the company’s view is not as per AS-25.

A Pharma Company spent Rs. 33 lakhs during the accounting year ended 31st March, 2015 on a research project to develop a drug to treat “AIDS”. Experts are of the view that it may take four years to establish whether the drug will be effective or not and even if found effective it may take two to three more years to produce the medicine, which can be marketed. The company wants to treat the expenditure as deferred revenue expenditure. Comment.
414
Answer
As per para 41 of AS 26 ‘Intangible Assets’, no intangible asset arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project) should be recognized. Expenditure on research (or on the research phase of an internal project) should be recognized as an expense when it is incurred.
Thus the company cannot treat the expenditure as deferred revenue expenditure. The entire amount of Rs. 33 lakhs spent on research project should be charged as an expense in the year ended 31st March, 2015.

Question 1
Excellent Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. acquired a sachet filling machine on 1st April, 2014 for Rs.60 lakhs. The machine was expected to have a productive life of 6 years. At the end of financial year 2014-15 the carrying amount was Rs.41 lakhs. A short circuit occurred in this financial year but luckily the machine did not get badly damaged and was still in working order at the close of the financial year. The machine was expected to fetch Rs.36 lakhs, if sold in the market. The machine by itself is not capable of generating cash flows. However, the smallest group of assets comprising of this machine also, is capable of generating cash flows of Rs.54 crore per annum and has a carrying amount of Rs.3.46 crore. All such machines put together could fetch a sum of Rs.4.44 crore if disposed. Discuss the applicability of Impairment loss.
Answer1
As perAS 28 impairment loss is not to be recognized for a given asset if the related cash generating unit (CGU) is not impaired. In the given question, the related cash generating unit, which is group of asset to which the damaged machine belongs, is not impaired; as the recoverable amount is more than the carrying amount of group of assets. Hence there is no need to provide for impairment loss on the damaged sachet filling machine.
Question 2
Mars Ltd. has an asset, which is carried in the Balance Sheet on 31.3.2015 at Rs. 500 lakhs. As at that date the value in use is Rs. 400 lakhs and the net selling price is Rs. 375 lakhs.
From the above data:

Question 1
At the end of the financial year ending on 31st December, 2014, a company finds that there are twenty law suits outstanding which have not been settled till the date of approval of accounts by the Board of Directors. The possible outcome as estimated by the Board is as follows:
Probability Loss (Rs.)
In respect of five cases (Win) 100% −
Next ten cases (Win) 60% −
Lose (Low damages) 30% 1,20,000
Lose (High damages) 10% 2,00,000
Remaining five cases Win 50% −
Lose (Low damages) 30% 1,00,000
Lose (High damages) 20% 2,10,000
Outcome of each case is to be taken as a separate entity. Ascertain the amount of contingent loss and the accounting treatment in respect thereof.
Answer
According to AS 29 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, contingent liability should be disclosed in the financial statements if following conditions are satisfied:
(i) There is a present obligation arising out of past events but not recognized as provision.
(ii) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
416
(iii) The possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is also remote.
(iv) The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability to be recognized as provision.
In this case, the probability of winning of first five cases is 100% and hence, question of providing for contingent loss does not arise. The probability of winning of next ten cases is 60% and for remaining five cases is 50%. As per AS 29, we make a provision if the loss is probable. As the loss does not appear to be probable and the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not remote rather there is reasonable possibility of loss, therefore disclosure by way of note should be made. For the purpose of the disclosure of contingent liability by way of note, amount may be calculated as under:
Expected loss in next ten cases = 30% of Rs. 1,20,000 + 10% of Rs. 2,00,000
= Rs. 36,000 + Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 56,000
Expected loss in remaining five cases = 30% of Rs. 1,00,000 + 20% of Rs. 2,10,000
= Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 42,000 = Rs. 72,000
To disclose contingent liability on the basis of maximum loss will be highly unrealistic. Therefore, the better approach will be to disclose the overall expected loss of Rs. 9,20,000 (Rs. 56,000 x 10 +Rs. 72,000 x 5) as contingent liability.
Question 2
A Company has entered into a sale contract of Rs.10,00,000 with B Company during financial year 2014-15. The profit on this transaction is Rs.2,00,000. The delivery of the goods to be taken place during the first month of the financial year 2015-2016. In case of failure of A Company to deliver within the schedule, a compensation of Rs.3,00,000 is to be paid to B Company. A Company planned to manufacturer the goods during the last month of the financial year 2014-2015. As on the Balance Sheet date (i.e., 31-3-2015), goods were not manufactured and it was unlikely that A Company would be in a position to meet the contractual obligation.
(a) Should A Company provide for the contingency?
(b) Should A company measure provision as the excess of compensation to be paid over the profit?
Answer
(a) Yes, A company should provide for the contingency because it is unlikely that A Company should be in a position to meet contractual obligation.
(b) No, A Company can’t measure provision as the excess of compensation to be paid over profit. It has to provide for the total compensation amount.

Question 5
Explain the basic principles governing an audit.
Answer
SA 200 “Basic Principals Governing an Audit”, describes the basic principles which govern the auditor’s professional responsibilities and which should be complied with wherever an audit is carried. They are described below:
(i) Integrity objectivity and independence: An auditor should be honest, sincere, impartial and free from bias. He should be a man of high integrity and objectivity.
(ii) Confidentiality: The auditor should respect confidentiality of information acquired during the course of his work and should not disclose the information without the prior permission of the client, unless there is a legal duty to disclose.
(iii) Skill and competence: The auditor must acquire adequate training and experience. He should be competent, skillful and keep himself abreast of the latest developments including pronouncements of ICAI on accounting and auditing matters.
(iv) Work performed by others: If the auditor delegates some work to others and uses work performed by others including that of an expert, he continues to be responsible for forming and expressing his opinion on the financial information.
(v) Documentation: The auditor should document matters which are important in providing evidence to ensure that the audit was carried out in accordance with the basic principles.
420
(vi) Planning: The auditor should plan his work to enable him to conduct the audit in an effective, efficient and timely manner. He should acquire knowledge of client’s accounting system, the extent of reliance that could be placed on internal control and coordinate the work to be performed.
(vii) Audit evidence: The auditor should obtain sufficient appropriate evidences through the performance of compliance and other substantive procedures to enable him to draw reasonable conclusions to form an opinion on the financial information.
(viii) Accounting System and Internal Control: The management is responsible for maintaining an adequate accounting system incorporating various internal controls appropriate to the size and nature of business.
The auditor should assure himself that the accounting system is adequate and all the information which should be recorded has been recorded. Internal control system contributes to such assurance.
(ix) Audit conclusions and reporting: On the basis of the audit evidence, he should review and assess the audit conclusions. He should ascertain:
1. As whether accounting policies have been consistently applied;
2. Whether financial information complies with regulations and statutory requirements; and
3. There is adequate disclosure of material matters relevant to the presentation of financial information subject to statutory requirements.
The auditor’s report should contain a clear written opinion on the financial information. A clean audit report indicates the auditor’s satisfaction in all respects and when a qualified, adverse or a disclaimer of opinion is to be given or reservation of opinion on any matter is to be made, the audit report should state the reasons thereof.

Question 7
What do you understand by ‘audit documentation’?
Answer
According to SA 230, Audit Documentation refers to the record of audit procedures performed, relevant audit evidence obtained, and conclusions the auditor reached. Preparing sufficient and appropriate audit documentation on a timely basis helps to
421
enhance the quality of audit and facilitates effective review and evaluation of audit evidence obtained and conclusions reached before finalizing auditor’s report. According to this standard, retention period for audit engagements ordinarily is no shorter than ten years from the date of auditor’s report, or, if later, the date of group auditor’s report.
Question 8

Question 10
Explain briefly duties and responsibilities of an auditor in case of material misstatement resulting from Management Fraud.
422
Answer
Misstatement in the financial statements can arise from fraud or error. The term fraud refers to an ‘Intentional Act’ by one or more individuals among management, those charged with governance, employees, or third parties, involving the use of deception to obtain an unjust or illegal advantage.
As per SA 240 “The Auditor’s Responsibilities Relating to Fraud in an Audit of Financial Statements”, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. The auditor, conducting an audit, is responsible for obtaining reasonable assurance that the financial statements taken as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the SAs.
Question 11
In the books of accounts of M/s ABC Ltd. huge differences are noticed between the control accounts and subsidiary records. The Chief Accounts Officer informs that this is common due to huge volume of business done by the company during the year. As a company auditor, how would you deal with the situation?
Answer
The huge differences found between control accounts and subsidiary records in the books of M/s ABC Ltd. indicate that there may be material misstatements requiring detailed examination by the auditor to ascertain the cause. The contention of Chief Accounts Officer cannot be accepted simply because the company has done huge volume of business. Such a phenomenon indicates that recording of transactions is not being done properly or the accounting system in the company which might have several branches spread over the country fails to capture all transactions in time. It would also be interesting to see whether it is a recurring phenomenon or such reconciliation could not be done at a subsequent date. Having regard to all these circumstances, it appears from the facts of the case that these differences indicate the possibility of some kind of material misstatements.
As per SA 240, “The Auditor’s Responsibility to Consider Fraud and Error in an Audit of Financial Statements” when the auditor encounters circumstances that there is material misstatement, the auditor should perform procedures to determine whether the financial statements are materially misstated. If as a result of such examination the auditor comes across any material information involving fraud or gross irregularity the same shall be reported by him appropriately.
Question 12
Write short notes on ‘preliminary engagement activities’ under SA 300.
423
Answer
The auditor shall undertake the following activities at the beginning of the current audit engagement-
(a) performing procedures on Quality control for audit work (as per SA 220) regarding the continuance of the client relationship and the specific audit engagement;
(b) evaluating compliance with ethical requirements, including independence as per SA 220; and
(c) establishing an understanding of the terms of the engagement, as required by SA 210.
Question 13
As an auditor of Limca Ltd., Mr. Xian applied the concept of materiality for the financial statements as a whole. On the basis of obtaining additional information of significant contractual arrangements that draw attention to a particular aspect of a company's business, he wants to re-evaluate the materiality concept. Please advise.
Answer
In the instant case, Mr. Xian, as an auditor of Limca Ltd., has applied the concept of materiality for the financial statements as a whole. But he wants to re-evaluate the materiality concept, on the basis of additional information of significant contractual arrangements which draws attention to a particular aspect of the company’s business.
As per SA 320 “Materiality in Planning and Performing an Audit”, while establishing the overall audit strategy, the auditor shall determine materiality for the financial statement as a whole. He should set the benchmark on the basis of which he performs his audit procedure. If, in the specific circumstances of the entity, there is one or more particular classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures for which misstatements of lesser amounts than the materiality for the financial statements as a whole could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements, the auditor shall also determine the materiality level or levels to be applied to those particular classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures.
Question 14
An assistant of Y & Co. Chartered Accountant detected an error of Rs. 10 per interest payment, which recurred a number of times. The General Manager (Finance) of X Ltd. advised him not to request for passing any adjustment entry as individually the errors were of very small amounts. The company had 2000 deposit accounts and interest was paid quarterly. Share your view in this issue, with reasons.
Answer
Principle : Mis-statements, including omissions, are considered to be material if they, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
424
Analysis : In the instant case, an error of Rs. 10 in the interest computation, even if small individually, will have a material effect due to the large number of transactions.
Conclusion : Hence Y & Co., need not pay any attention to the advise given by the General Manger
(Finance) of X Ltd. The necessary adjustment should be carried out in the accounts of the company.
Question 15
State, how the reliability of audit evidence gets affected by the types of Audit evidences. (SA 500)
Answer
The audit evidences provide credence to the assertions that a transaction seeks to reveal out. Depending upon the sources, forms or nature of audit evidences, the credence or reliability value of the evidences may vary. Generally
1. The external evidence is usually more reliable than internal evidence. (Source)
2. Internal evidence is more reliable when related internal control is satisfactory. (Nature)
3. Evidence in the form of document or written representation is usually more reliable than oral representation. (Form)
4. Evidence obtained by the auditor himself is more reliable than the evidence obtained through the entity. (Nature)
Question 16
While planning the audit of X Ltd, you want to apply sampling techniques. What are the risk factors you should keep in mind?
Answer
SA 530 “Audit Sampling” deals with auditor use of sampling in performing audit procedures. However, due to application of sampling in audit procedures, there arises risk of sampling.
Sampling Risk may be defined as the risk that the auditor’s conclusion based on a sample may be different from the conclusion if the entire population were subjected to the same audit procedure.
Sampling risk can lead to two types of erroneous conclusions:
(i) In the case of a test of controls, that controls are more effective than they actually are, or in the case of a test of details, that a material misstatement does not exist when in fact it does. The auditor is primarily concerned with this type of erroneous conclusion because it affects audit effectiveness and is more likely to lead to an inappropriate audit opinion.
(ii) In the case of a test of controls, that controls are less effective than they actually are, or in the case of a test of details, that a material misstatement exists when in fact it
425
does not. This type of erroneous conclusion affects audit efficiency as it would usually lead to additional work to establish that initial conclusions were incorrect.
Question 17
Cipsa Ltd. holds the ownership of 10% of voting power and control over the composition of Board of Directors of Lipsa Ltd. While planning the statutory audit of Cipsa Ltd., what factors would be considered by you for audit of financial statements?
Answer
In this case, Cipsa Ltd. holds only 10 percent of the voting power and control over the composition of the Board of Directors of Lipsa Ltd. In such a case, Cipsa Ltd. would be considered as a parent of Lipsa Ltd. and, therefore, it would consolidate Lipsa Ltd., in the consolidated financial statements as subsidiary.
The auditor should verify whether the parent controls the composition of the Board of Directors or corresponding governing body of any entity. There would be various means by which such kind of control can be obtained.
In this regard, the auditor may verify the Board’s minutes, shareholder agreements entered into by the parent, agreements with the entities to which the parent might have provided any technology or know how, enforcement of statute, as the case may be, etc.
The auditor should verify that the adjustments warranted by the relevant accounting standards have been made wherever required and have been properly authorised by the management of the parent. The preparation of consolidated financial statements gives rise to permanent consolidation adjustments and current period consolidation adjustments. The auditor should make plans, among other things, for the understanding of accounting policies of the parent, subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and determining and programming the nature, timing, and extent of the audit procedures to be performed etc. Further, the duties of an auditor with regard to reporting of transactions with related parties as required by Accounting Standard 18 are given in SA 550 on Related Parties.
As per SA 550 on, “Related Parties”, the auditor should review information provided by the management of the entity identifying the names of all known related parties. A person or other entity that has control or significant influence, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, over the reporting entity are considered as Related Party.
In forming an opinion on the financial statements the auditor shall evaluate whether the identified related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and whether the effects of the related party relationships and transactions prevent the financial statements from achieving true and fair presentation (for fair presentation frameworks); or cause the financial statements to be misleading (for compliance frameworks).
Question 18
Can the statutory auditor rely upon the work of an internal auditor?
426
Answer
SA 610 “Using the work of Internal auditors” deals with the external auditor’s responsibilities regarding the work of internal auditors when the external auditor has determined, in accordance with SA 315 that the internal audit function is likely to be relevant to the audit. With respect to relationship between statutory auditor and internal auditor, SA 610 provides the following:
(a) The role and objectives of the internal audit function are determined by management and, where applicable, those charged with governance. While the objectives of the internal audit function and the external auditor are different, some of the ways in which the internal audit function and the external auditor achieve their respective objectives may be similar.
(b) Irrespective of the degree of autonomy and objectivity of the internal audit function, such function is not independent of the entity as is required of the external auditor when expressing an opinion on financial statements.
(c) Therefore, the external auditor has sole responsibility for the audit opinion expressed, and that responsibility is not reduced by the external auditor’s use of the work of the internal auditors.
Question 19

The auditor shall not refer to the work of an auditor’s expert in an auditor’s report containing an unmodified opinion unless required by law or regulation to do so.
If such reference is required by law or regulation, the auditor shall indicate in the auditor’s report that the reference does not reduce the auditor’s responsibility for the audit opinion.
If the auditor makes reference to the work of an auditor’s expert in the auditor’s report because such reference is relevant to an understanding of a modification to the auditor’s opinion, the auditor shall indicate in the auditor’s report that such reference does not reduce the auditor’s responsibility for that opinion.

Mr. X, who was appointed as the first auditors, of the company, was removed without the prior approval of the Central Government before the expiry of their term, by calling an EGM.
Answer
As per section 140 (1) which says that, the auditor appointed may be removed before the expiry of his term only by a special resolution of the company, after obtaining the prior approval of the Central Government in that behalf in the prescribed manner.
So in the instant case, the company has to obtain Central Government approval for removal of X before the expiry of his term.
Question 11
How is an auditors' remuneration fixed under the Companies Act, 2013?
Answer
According to section 142 of the Companies Act, 2013 the remuneration of the auditor of a company shall be fixed in its general meeting or in the manner as determined in the general meeting.

437
Answer
No, the Board of Director cannot fill the casual vacancy arising as a result of the resignation of an auditor under the provisions of section 139(8) (i) of the Companies Act, 2013.
Question 13
Due to the resignation of the existing auditor(s) the board of directors of X Ltd appointed Mr. Om as the auditor. Is it valid?
Answer
The resignation of the existing auditor(s) would give rise to a casual vacancy. As per section 139 (8) (i), casual vacancy can be filled by the Board of Directors, provided such vacancy has not been caused by the resignation of the auditor.
The appointment shall be approved by the company at a general meeting convened within three months of the recommendation of the Board and he/she shall hold the office till the conclusion of the next annual general meeting.
So in the given case the above procedure has to be followed by X Ltd.
Question 14
At the AGM of ABC Ltd. Mr. X was appointed as the statutory auditor. He, however, resigned after 3 months since he wants to shift from practice to job. State how the new auditor will be appointed by ABC Ltd.
Answer
As per Section 139 (8) (i), casual vacancy can be filled in the following way:
a. If it was due to resignation - only by shareholders.
b. If it was due to other reasons - By board of directors.
Thus, in this case ABC Ltd will have to call an extra-ordinary general meeting (EGM) and appoint another auditor. The new auditor so appointed shall hold office only till the conclusion of the next annual general meeting.
Question 15
The auditor of Y Ltd. resigned after valid and accepted appointment whereupon the Board of Directors appointed another auditor treating it as a casual vacancy.
Answer
Section 139 (8) (i) states that the Board may fill any casual vacancy, provided such vacancy has not been caused by the resignation of the auditor. In the instant case, a casual vacancy has arisen on account of resignation since the auditor of Y Ltd resigned after accepting the appointment. Under these circumstances, the shareholder’s can only fill the vacancy in the general meeting.
Question 16
AB Ltd. does not send to its auditors the notice of an extraordinary general meeting on the plea that accounts are not being discussed at the aforesaid meeting.

Answer
This is not correct since the requirements of section 146 of Companies Act, 2013 provides that all notices of, and other communications relating to, any general meeting shall be forwarded to the auditors of the company, and the auditor shall, unless otherwise exempted by the company, attend either by himself or through his authorised representative, who shall also be qualified to be an auditor, any general meeting and shall have right to be heard at such meeting on any part of the business which concerns him as the auditor.
So this section applies to all general meetings held during the period when the auditor holds his office.
Question 17
A company has a branch office which recorded a turnover of Rs. 1, 20,000 in the financial year 2014-15. No audit of the branch has been carried out. The statutory auditor of the company has made no reference of the above branch in his report. The total turnover of the company is Rs. 10 crores for the year 2014-15. Comment on the issue.
Answer
As per section 143(8) of the Companies Act, 2013 if a company has a branch office, the accounts of that office shall be audited either by the auditor appointed for the company (herein referred to as the company's auditor) under this Act or by any other person qualified for appointment as an auditor of the company under this Act and appointed as such under section 139, or where the branch office is situated in a country outside India, the accounts of the branch office shall be audited either by the company's auditor or by an accountant or by any other person duly qualified to act as an auditor of the accounts of the branch office in accordance with the laws of that country.
Therefore, the company has to get its branch audited. In case no branch audit has been carried out, company’s auditor is required to mention this fact in the audit report and deal appropriately.
Question 18
XYZ & Company Limited by passing a resolution by the entire body of shareholders wants to limit the powers of the statutory auditors.
Answer
Section 143 (1) of the Companies Act, 2013 specifies the rights of a company auditor which include right of access to the books of accounts, etc. These rights have been granted to the auditor to carry out his duties and responsibilities prescribed under the Act.
The rights of the auditor cannot be restricted in any manner.
Any resolution passed by the entire body of shareholders limiting the powers of the auditor or any such provisions in the Articles of Association is void.

Question 19
Amit is appointed as the auditor of ABC Ltd. on 25th July, 2015. He informs the company that he will visit its head office on August 16, 2015 (a holiday for the company, being a Sunday) and examine the cash book. The accountant argues that Amit should come after March 31, 2016 when the accounts are closed. Moreover, he should not come on a Sunday as the office is closed on that day. Is the position taken by the accountant correct?
Answer
The auditor has access to books etc. “at all times”. This implies that he can examine them at any time after assuming his office as the auditor and he need out wait for the closing of the accounts, i.e., March 31, 2016. However, the expression “at all times” refers to only the normal business hours on any working day. Thus, Amit can only examine the books during normal business hours on any working day of the company.

Question 23
Alma Limited, a company having a sum of Rs. 70 crores each, outstanding towards a Bank and a public financial institution, has appointed its employee Mr. Siva, a CS, as its internal auditor with effect from 15 October, 2014, for the financial year 2014-2015. Comment on this statement.
Answer

442
Such internal auditor shall be a chartered accountant or cost accountant or such other professional as may be decided by the Board who shall conduct internal audit of the functions and activities of the company.
Section 138 which came into force w.e.f. 1st April 2014, further states that an existing company covered under the above criteria shall comply with the requirements of section 138 within six months of commencement of such section.
In the given question, Alma Limited has outstanding loans/ borrowings towards Bank and public financial institution amounting to Rs. 140 crores (i.e. more than Rs. 100 crores), it is required mandatorily to appoint internal auditor within 6 months, i.e. by 30th September 2014. Thus, the company has defaulted in compliance with the requirements of section 138.
Question 24
Lamba Pvt Ltd. is having only 2 members Manish & Satish. During the audit for the year ended on 31.3.2015, the auditor of the company found that:
(i) Manish, who is in charge of purchases has introduced fictitious purchase bills of Rs. 60 lakhs;
(ii) Satish, who is in charge of sales, has sold goods worth Rs. 90 lakhs without bringing the same in the books of account.
The auditor raises the matter with Manish & Satish in their capacity as directors. They contest that as this is a position known to them and within their own fold, the auditor should not report the same under the Companies Act, 2013. Discuss whether these arguments are acceptable under the Companies Act, 2013 for non-reporting. If not, state the reasons and the manner of reporting.
Answer
The arguments made by Manish & Satish, directors of Lamba Pvt. Ltd., for non-reporting of fictitious purchases of Rs. 60 lakhs and omission of recording of sales of Rs. 90 lakhs under the Companies Act, 2013 are not acceptable in view of the following reasons:
(i) The scope of audit of a company is determined by provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Even the terms of the engagement cannot restrict the scope of audit in relation to matters which are prescribed by legislation [SA 200R read with Newton v. Birmingham Small Arms Co.]
(ii) Section 143 requires the auditor to state whether “in his opinion and to the best of his information and according to the explanations given to him”, the accounts “give a true and fair view in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of the company’s affairs as at the end of its financial year and in the case of the profit and loss account, of the profit or loss for its financial year”. Thus, the primary duty of the auditor is to determine whether the balance sheet shows a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at the end of the financial year and whether the profit and loss account shows a true and fair view of the working results of the company for the year.
443
(iii) The fact that there are only two members and they are fully aware of such transactions would not have any impact as far as scope of audit is concerned.
Therefore, it would, therefore, be obligatory on the part of auditor to report these aspects in the audit report.
The following paragraph in the audit report under section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 should be included:
“On the basis of information and explanation given to us, together with our audit examination, subject to the purchases of Rs………. as reflected in the profit and loss account being overstated by Rs.60 lakhs and sales of Rs………as reflected in the Profit and Loss Account being understated by Rs.90 lakhs and thus resulting in understating the profits of the company by Rs.1.50 crores, we report that the financial statements are reflecting true and fair view”.
Question 25

The Financial Committees present their Report to the Parliament/ State Legislature with their observations and recommendations. The various Ministries / Department of the Government are required to inform the Committees of the action taken by them on the recommendations of the Committees (which are generally accepted) and the Committees present Action Taken Reports to Parliament / Legislature. In respect of those cases in Audit Reports, which could not be discussed in detail by the Committees, written answers are obtained from the Department / Ministry concerned and are sometimes incorporated in the Reports presented to the Parliament / State Legislature. This ensures that the Audit Reports are not taken lightly by the Government, even if the entire report is not deliberated upon by the Committee.

Question 4
What do you understand by Compliance Audit?
Answer
Compliance audit is a comprehensive review of an organization’s adherence to regulatory guidelines.
It is common to us that the business undertakings require some certified statement on various matters and the auditors certify such statements after carrying out audit which might be necessary under the particular cases. All such audits are called Compliance Audit. Suppose when a company applies to a bank for some loan, a certified statement showing the turnover of the company for the past two or three years along with the current year might be necessary, and for this purpose the certified statements are to be attached with the application, otherwise the application will be rejected. So these certified statements showing the turnover of the company fall under the category of compliance audit. Internal audit for compliance could be the broader base to include compliance with documented procedures/policies, compliance with statutory requirements in the relevant areas etc.
449
Question 5
What process should be followed for doing compliance audit?
Answer
Doing a Compliance Audit, a stepwise approach is required:
First the compliance auditor needs to have a clear knowledge of audit’s objective and scope. Accordingly he decides the time to be devoted in the compliance audit.
Before beginning a particular compliance audit, the auditor must gain thorough understanding of applicable rules, guidelines and procedures to be evaluated.
He should decide how to recognize when a deviation has occurred, and how to evaluate evidence obtained through audit tests.
The auditor must figure out, for each event to be tested, just what evidence signifies compliance and what evidence signifies non-compliance. The auditor may also prepare a detailed questionnaire about key compliance issues.
Assessing compliance may be simple, requiring a brief inspection to find out whether rules were followed or not however in some cases making a judgment may require extensive research of regulatory requirements, interpretations, and technical materials.
If the auditor is not sufficiently experienced in very specialized compliance topics then the opinions of an expert should be sought.
Compliance audit reports must be made in the format that is relevant to the auditee or sponsoring entity i.e. government.
Reports usually describe the objectives of the compliance audit, the number of conditions examined during the time period considered, the frequency of events conforming to conditions, and the number of exceptions.
When a statistical sample of events has been tested and required assumptions are appropriate, results from the sample may be used to predict the level of compliance for all events or transactions within the scope of the audit.
Compliance audit reports often indicate reasons for deviations from standards, describe implications of those deviations, and recommend actions that strengthen control procedures for assuring compliance.

Question 1
What do you understand by ‘Internal Control’ ?
Answer
Internal control means different things to different people. This causes confusion among businessman, legislators, regulators and others.
Internal control is broadly defined as a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories:
1. Effectiveness and efficiency of operations.
2. Reliability of financial reporting.
3. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
De Paula [1989] defined internal controls as a system of controls, financial and otherwise established by management in order to carry on the business of the company in an orderly and efficient manner to ensure the adherence to management policies, safeguard the assets, and secure as much as possible the completeness of an internal control system.
Gibbins [1990] argues that the safeguarding of assess , prevention and detection of frauds and errors , the accuracy and completeness of accounting records and timely preparation of reliable information, he argues that internal controls may be incorporated with in computerized accounting system, which extends beyond those matters which are related directly to the accounting system.
Lucy argues that internal controls comprise the control environment and control procedures. It includes all the policies and procedures adopted by the directors and management of an entity to assist in achieving their objective of ensuring are efficient and orderly conduct of its business and adherence to internal policies.
Thomas Evans, in his book “International Accounting and reporting “defines internal controls as policies and procedures that an organization develops to safe guard its resources and provide for the reliability of financial records.
The international standards of auditors define internal controls as a system comprising of controls environment and procedures. It includes polices and ways adapted by management of an enterprise to assist it in achieving its objectives.

Question 2
In a medium size trading organisation, the accountant was given additional responsibility of making recoveries from receivables. On one occasion, an insurance claim of Rs.75,000 was received. He credited the same to the account of a debtor and misappropriated the cash which he had recovered from the said receivable. Pinpoint the weaknesses in the internal control which led to this situation.
Answer
Following two essential features of internal control are relevant here:
(i) Breaking the chain of the work in a manner so that no single person can handle a transaction from the beginning to the end and
(ii) Segregation of accounting and custodial functions.
Weakness in internal control system in the instant case:
(i) The accountant is receiving cash and also passing the entries in the books. The accountant should not have been allowed to effect recoveries.
(ii) It also appears that system for issuing receipts for amount received - whether cash or cheque is also lacking.
(iii) In a small and to some extent medium size organization, the supervision of the owner offsets the deficiencies in internal control system. But in this case, it appears, that supervision and personal control is also lacking.
Thus, in the given case, the main weakness of the system is that it is ignoring the basic requirements of a good internal control system.
Question 3
What are the techniques of ‘internal control system? Discuss with examples.
Answer
There are two types of techniques used in internal control system : Preventive internal control techniques and Detective internal control techniques.
(I) Preventive Controls techniques are designed to discourage errors or irregularities from occurring. They are proactive in nature that helps to ensure departmental objectives are being met. Examples of preventive controls techniques are:
Segregation of Duties:
Approvals, Authorizations, and Verifications
Security of Assets (Preventive and Detective)
(II) Detective Controls techniques are designed to find errors or irregularities after they have occurred. Examples of detective controls techniques are:
Reviews of Performance
Reconciliations
456
Physical Inventories
Internal Audits
Question 4
What is internal check? Distinguish between ‘internal check’ and ‘internal audit’?
Answer
Internal check is best regarded as indicating checks on the day-to-day transactions which operate continuously as a part of the routine systems whereby work of one person is proved independently or is complementary to the work of another, the object being the prevention of or early detection of errors and frauds. Internal check is a continuous process and is part of the day-to-day routine. Internal check is a part of internal control system. It ensures that all financial transactions are properly recorded and efficiency of the accounting system followed by the organization and enables easy preparation of financial statements.
Difference between internal check and internal audit
Way of checking : In internal check system work is automatically checked whereas in internal audit system work is checked specially.
Cost involvement : Cost of internal check is the part of the system cost whereas cost of internal audit is additional cost to the system.
Thrust of system : Thrust of internal check system is to prevent the errors and whereas the thrust of internal audit system is to detect the errors and frauds.
Time of checking : In internal check system checking is done when the work is being done whereas in internal audit system work is checked after it is done. Mistakes can be checked at an early stage in internal check system.
Question 5
What are the limitations of Internal Control?
Answer
No matter how well the internal controls are designed, they can only provide a reasonable assurance that objectives will be achieved. Some limitations are inherent in all internal control systems. These limitations include:
Judgment - the effectiveness of controls will be limited by decisions made with human judgment under pressures to conduct business based on the information available at hand.
Breakdowns - even well designed internal controls can break down. Employees sometimes misunderstand instructions or simply make mistakes. Errors may also result from new technology and the complexity of computerized information systems.
Management Override - high level personnel may be able to override prescribed policies or procedures for personal gains or advantages. This should not be confused
457
with management intervention, which represents management actions to depart from prescribed policies and procedures for legitimate purposes.
Collusion - control system can be circumvented by employee collusion. Individuals acting collectively can alter financial data or other management information in a manner that cannot be identified by control systems.
A well designed process with appropriate internal controls should meet most if not all of these control objectives.
Question 6
What are the tools available to the auditor for review of internal control?
Answer
An auditor can use the following tools to collect information required for the proper review and evaluation of internal controls:-
(1) Narrative record : It is a complete and exhaustive description of the system as found in operation by the auditor. Actual testing and observation are necessary before such a system is in operation and would be more suited to small business.
(2) Check list : A check list is a series of instruction and/or answer. When he completes instruction, he initials the space against the instruction. Answers to the check list instruction are usually Yes, No or Not applicable. This is again an on the job requirement and instructions are framed having regard to the desirable element of control. The complete check list is studied by the principle/manager/senior to ascertain existence of internal control and evaluate its implementation and efficiency.
(3) Questionnaire : It is a comprehensive series of questions concerning internal control. This is the most widely used from for collecting information about the existence, operation and efficiency of internal control in an organization. The questionnaire form also provides an orderly means of disclosing control defects. It is the general practice to review the internal control system annually and record the review the detail. In the questionnaire, generally questions are so framed that a ‘Yes’ answer denotes satisfactory position and a ‘No’ answer suggests weakness. Provision is made for an explanation or further details of ‘No’ answers. In respect of questions not relevant to the business, ’Not applicable’ reply is given.
The questionnaire is annually issued to the client and the client is requested to get it filled by the concerned executives and employees. If on a perusal of the answers, inconsistencies or apparent incongruities are noticed, the matter is further discussed by auditor’s staff with the client employees for a clear picture. The concerned auditor then prepares a report of deficiencies and recommendation for improvement.
(4) Flow chart : Flow chart is a graphical presentation of each part of the company’s system of internal control. A flow chart is considered to be the most concise way of recording the auditor’s review of the system. It minimizes the amount of narrative explanation and thereby achieves and consideration or presentation not possible in
458
any other form. It gives bird’s eye view of the system and the flow of transactions and integration and in documentation, can be easily spotted and improvements can be suggested.
Question 7
Write a short note on audit in depth.
Answer
Audit in depth as the name implies means checking a transaction extensively from origin to end. It is an audit technique which is used to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control system in an organisation. It is used in investigation exercises whereby the objective is to thorough examination of transactions or records.

Question 8
Explain the objectives of internal control system in an organisation.
Answer
Internal audit evaluates the organisation’s system of internal control by accessing the ability of individual process controls to achieve seven pre-defined control objectives.
The objectives of internal control system in an organisation include:
Authorization - the objective is to ensure that all transactions are approved by responsible personnel in accordance with their specific or general authority before the transaction is recorded.
Completeness - the objective is to ensure that no valid transactions have been omitted from the accounting records.
Accuracy - the objective is to ensure that all valid transactions are accurate, consistent with the originating transaction data, and information is recorded in a timely manner.
Validity - the objective is to ensure that all recorded transactions fairly represent the economic events that actually occurred, are lawful in nature, and have been executed in accordance with management’s general authorization.
Physical Safeguards and Security - the objective is to ensure that access to physical assets and information systems are controlled and properly restricted to authorized personnel.
Error Handling - the objective is to ensure that errors detected at any stage of processing receive prompts corrective action and are reported to the appropriate level of management.
459
Segregation of Duties - the objective is to ensure that duties are assigned to individuals in a manner that ensures that no one individual can control both the recording function and the procedures relative to processing a transaction.
Question 9
What do you mean by inter firm comparison?
Answer
Inter firm comparison is the technique of evaluating the performance efficiency, costs and profits of firm in an industry. It consists of voluntary exchanges of information/data concerning costs, prices, profits, productivity and overall efficiency among firms engaged in similar type of operations for the purpose of bringing improvement in efficiency and indicating the weakness. Such a comparison will be possible where uniform costing is in operation.
An inter-firm comparison indicates the efficiency of production and selling, adequacy of profits, weak spots in the organisation, etc. and thus demands from the firm’s management an immediate suitable action. Inter-firm comparison may enable the management to challenge the standards which it has set for itself and to improve upon them in the light of the current information gathered from more efficient units. Such a comparison may be carried out in electrical industry, printing firms, cotton spinning firms, pharmaceuticals, cycle manufacturing, etc.
Question 10
What do you mean by intra firm comparison?
Answer
The term intra firm comparison means comparison of two or more departments or division’s belonging to the same firm with the objective of making meaningful analysis for the purpose of increasing the effectiveness or efficiency of the departments or division’s involved.
This may also mean comparison of results achieved by an organization over two different financial periods or period’s consideration. The idea is to compare the firm’s performance with its own performance in some other department other point in time.

4. Information and communication: - Pertinent information must be identified, captured and communicated is a form and timeframe that enable people to carry out their responsibilities. Information Systems Produce reports, containing operational, financial and compliance related information that make it possible to run and control the business.
Effective communication must occur in a broader sense, flowing down, across and up the organisation.
5. Monitoring
Internal control systems need to be monitored a process that assesses the quality of the systems performance over time.
Internal control deficiencies should be reported upstream, with serious matters reported to top management and the board.
Question 12
What is sampling in Audit testing? What are the approaches to statistical Sampling?
Answer
Sampling is a process of selection a subset of a population of items for the purpose of making inferences to the whole population.
Sampling is used is both compliance and substantive testing and is described in numerous textbooks in auditing.
Approaches to statistical sampling
Samples during an audit are normally selected through one of the probability sampling methods as discussed below :
- Simple Random sampling
This method uses sampling without replacement in once an item has been selected for testing it is removed from the population & is not subject to re selection.
461
- Systematic (Interval) Sampling
This method provides for the selection of sample items in such a way that there is a uniform interval between each sample item. Under this method, every “Nth” item is selected with a random start.
- Stratified (Cluster) sampling
This method provides for the selection of sample items by breaking the population down into stratas or clusters.
An example of cluster sampling is the inclusion in the sample of all remittances or cash disbursements for a particular month.

Question 1
What is Internal Control Review (ICR) and how different it is to Internal Audit?
Answer
Internal Control Review is an overall assessment of the internal control system and its adequacy of each business area in an organization to address the relevant risks. Through control review, an organization's resources are directed, monitored, and measured in an effective manner. It plays an important role in protecting the organization's tangible and intangible resources.
Whereas, Internal audit as defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors is "an activity that provides independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes".

Question 1
What is the meaning of audit plan? State the reasons why audit plan is prepared?
Answer
An audit plan is a step-by-step, methodical approach that enables auditors to focus on important areas under review. Audit Planning steps run the gamut, from engagement preparation and staff appointment to testing financial accounts and internal processes.
In order to ensure a high standard of performance, it is important that the auditor should prepare adequately for his work. Planning ahead for an audit work will not only guarantee a valid audit opinion but will also help the auditor to ensure that:
The audit objective is established and achieved;
The audit is properly controlled and adequately directed at all stages;
High risk and critical areas of the engagement are not omitted but that adequate
attention is focused on these areas; and
The work is completed economically and expeditiously, hence, savings on audit
resources.
Audit plan relates to preparations made by the auditor for one specific audit engagement of one client for one year.
Question 2
Explain the term Audit programme and distinguish it from Audit plan.
Answer
Audit programme is nothing but a list of examination and verification steps to be applied set out in such a way that the inter-relationship of one step to another is clearly shown and designed, keeping in view the assertions discernible in the statements of account produced for audit or on the basis of an appraisal of the accounting records of the client.
In other words, an audit programme is a detailed plan of applying the audit procedures in the given circumstances with instructions for the appropriate techniques to be adopted for accomplishing the audit objectives. Businesses vary in nature, size and composition work which is suitable to one business may not be suitable to others; efficiency and operation of internal controls and the exact nature of the service to be rendered by the auditor are the
15
Audit Engagement and
Documentation
470
other factors that vary from assignment to assignment. Because of such variations, evolving one audit programme applicable to all business under all circumstances is not practicable. However it becomes a necessity to specify in detail in the audit programme the nature of work to be done so that no time will be wasted on matters not pertinent to the engagement and any special matter or any specific situation can be taken care of.
Audit programme contains step by step instructions to be carried out by team members i.e. it is simply a list of audit procedures to be executed by team members.
Audit programmes are prepared on the basis of audit plan usually by the auditor who in the audit team is either partner or manager. But sometimes, audit firms have a basic audit programme and the same is used by the auditor after making some modifications to it to make it according the audit engagement in hand.
An audit plan is a step-by-step, methodical approach that enables auditors to focus on important areas under review. Audit Planning steps run the gamut, from engagement preparation and staff appointment to testing financial accounts and internal processes.
In order to ensure a high standard of performance, it is important that the auditor should prepare adequately for his work. Planning for an audit, just like every human endeavour, is essential for the smooth performance of the audit work and its successful completion. Planning ahead for an audit work will not only guarantee a valid audit opinion but will also help the auditor to ensure that:
(a) The audit objective is established and achieved;
(b) The audit is properly controlled and adequately directed at all stages;
(c) High risk and critical areas of the engagement are not omitted but that adequateattention is focused on these areas; and
(d) The work is completed economically and expeditiously, hence, saving on audit resources.
Question 3
What do you mean by the term Vouching? Explain the importance of vouching in Auditing.
Answer
Vouching means the examination of documentary evidence in support of entries passed in order to establish their arithmetic accuracy. When the auditor checks the entries with some documents it is called vouching. Vouching is the acid test of audit. It tests the truth of the transaction recorded in the books of accounts. It is an act of examining documentary evidence in order to ascertain the accuracy and authenticity of the entries in the books of accounts.
According to Dicksee, “Vouching consists of comparing entries in the books of accounts with documentary evidence in support thereof.” Thus, vouching means testing the truth of entries appearing in the primary books of accounts. In short, vouching means to examine the evidence in support of any transaction or entry recorded in the books of accounts. Vouching does not merely see that the entries and transactions are supported by proper
471
documentary evidence. The auditor should be satisfied that they are properly maintained, they are supported by all evidence and they are correctly recorded in the books of accounts.
Following points enumerate the importance of vouching in auditing:
– Ensures genuineness of the transactions
– Enables to know transactions
– Helps to know relevance of the transaction
– Facilitates proper allocation of capital & revenue, expenditure
– Detects frauds and errors
– Decides authenticity of transactions
– Ensures proper accounting
– Compliance with law
– Ensures proper disclosure
Question 4
Write the distinction between verification and Vouching.
Answer
Difference between Verification and Vouching
Basis Verification Vouching
Meaning Verification is the act of checking title, possession and valuation of assets.
Vouching is the act of checking the records with the help of evidential documents.
Nature Verification is specially related to the assets and liabilities.
Vouching is related to all the accounting documents.
Person Auditor himself performs the work of verification.
Generally, assistant staff or auditor performs the work of vouching.
Time Verification is made at the end of auditing or at the time of checking balance sheets.
Vouching is made at the beginning of auditing.
Question 5
Explain the different approaches used in statistical sampling during an audit.
472
Answer
In statistical sampling, samples during an audit are normally selected through probability sampling methods. Probability sampling provides an objective method of determining sample size and selecting the items to be examined. It also provides a means of quantitatively assessing precision and reliability.
(a) Simple Random Sampling : A simple random sampling is a method in which each item in the sample has equal chance of selection. In auditing, sampling without replacement method is used; that is, once an item has been selected for testing it is removed from the population and is not subject to re-selection. An auditor can implement simple random sampling in following ways: computer programs or random number tables.
(b) Systematic (Interval) Sampling : This method provides for the selection of sample items in such a way that there is a uniform interval between each sample item. Under this method of sampling, every “Nth” item is selected with a random start.
(c) Stratified (Cluster) Sampling : This method provides for the selection of sample items by breaking the population down into stratas, or clusters. Each strata is then treated separately. For this plan to be effective, dispersion within clusters should be greater than dispersion among clusters. An example of cluster sampling is the inclusion in the sample of all remittances or cash disbursements for a particular month. If blocks of homogeneous samples are selected, the sample will be biased.
Question 6
Prepare a sample audit programme for auditing the receipt of fees from the students of a government college.
Answer
A sample audit programme for auditing of the receipt of fees from the students of a government college is given below:
Check names entered in the Students’ Fee Register for each month or term, with the respective class registers, showing names of students on rolls and test amount of fees charged; and verify that there operates a system of internal check which ensures that demands against the students are properly raised.
Check fees received by comparing counterfoils of receipts granted with entries in the cash book and tracing the collections in the Fee Register to confirm that the revenue from this source has been duly accounted for.
Total up the various columns of the Fees Register for each month or term to ascertain that fees paid in advance have been carried forward and the arrears that are irrecoverable have been written off under the sanction of an appropriate authority.
Check admission fees with admission slips signed by the head of the institution and confirm that the amount had been credited to a Capital Fund, unless the Managing Committee has taken a decision to the contrary.
473
See that free studentship and concessions have been granted by a person authorised to do so, having regard to the prescribed Rules.
Confirm that fines for late payment or absence, etc., have either been collected or remitted under proper authority.
Confirm that hostel dues were recovered before students’ accounts were closed and their deposits of caution money refunded.
Confirm that caution money and other deposits paid by students on admission have been shown as liability in the balance sheet and not transferred to revenue.
If admission process is going through online, than check the all application received.
To check Bank Reconciliation statement with receipts.
Check the Bank receipts, Credit card receipt and reconciliation plan to be made.
Check the all email correspondence regarding the receipts of fee.
Check the reminder system SMS alert, e-mails, call log book, to proper collection of fee.
Check fee policy for different category of Students
Check the authentication of system and software used by the concern in this regard.
Question 7
The scope of verification is much wider than that of vouching.

(b) The nature of the business activity of the client.
(c) The status of the client.
(d) Reporting format.
(e) Relevant legislations applicable to the client.

Question 9
What is test checking in audit? What are the advantages of test checking?
Answer
Test checking is an accepted auditing procedure wherein only a part of its transactions is checked to form an opinion instead of checking the transactions. The advantages of test checking include:
1. Audit objective : The auditor is required to form an opinion on the financial statements. Even after 100 % checking, he may not derive absolute satisfaction. Hence, proper and careful test checking serves the audit objective in obtaining reasonable audit assurance.
2. Expertise : Application of test check principles involves the application of mind and intelligent judgement. It enables the auditors to use his expertise effectively.
3. Exception Principle : Test checking adopts the principle of exception in control. If certain aspects of internal control do not create suspicion, there is no need to verify all these transactions exhaustively.
4. Scientific assessment of risk : The auditor assesses the risk of material mis-statements in the Financial Statements in a scientific manner by drawing suitable samples and studying the same in detail.
5. Saving in time : As fewer transactions are verified, time is saved to a great extent. This, in turn, enables completion of all the audits/verification procedures in time.

6. Reduction in Work : Volume of work is reduced by test checking methods. Audit processes are not carried out mechanically on all transactions.
Answer 10
What is tolerable terror?
Answer
Tolerable error is the maximum error in the population that the auditor would be willing to accept and still concludes that the result from the sample has achieved the audit objective. Tolerable error is considered during the planning stage and, for substantive procedures, is related to the auditor’s judgement about materiality. The smaller the tolerable error, the greater the sample size will need to be. In tests of control, the tolerable error is the maximum rate of deviation from a prescribed control procedure that the auditor would be willing to accept, based on the preliminary assessment of control risk. In substantive procedures, the tolerable error is the maximum monetary error in an account balance or class of transactions that the auditor would be willing to accept so that when the results of all audit procedures are considered, the auditor is able to conclude, with reasonable assurance, that the financial statements are not materially misstated.
Question 11
What is the guideline for preparation of good working papers?
Answer
Working papers are the property of the auditor. The auditor may, at his discretion, make portions of or extracts from his working papers available to his client.
General guidelines for the preparation of working papers are :
1. Clarity and Understanding – As a preparer of audit documentation, step back and read your work objectively. Would it be clear to another auditor? Working papers should be clear and understandable without supplementary oral explanations. With the information the working papers reveal, a reviewer should be able to readily determine their purpose, the nature and scope of the work done and the preparer’s conclusions.
2. Completeness and Accuracy – As a reviewer of documentation, if you have to ask the audit staff basic questions about the audit, the documentation probably does not really serve the purpose. Work papers should be complete, accurate, and support observations, testing, conclusions, and recommendations. They should also show the nature and scope of the work performed.
3. Pertinence – Limit the information in working papers to matters that are important and necessary to support the objectives and scope established for the assignment.
4. Logical Arrangement – File the working papers in a logical order.
5. Legibility and Neatness – Be neat in your work. Working papers should be legible and as neat as practical. Sloppy work papers may lose their worth as evidence.
476
Crowding and writing between lines should be avoided by anticipating space needs and arranging the work papers before writing.
6. Safety – Keep your work papers safe and retrievable.
7. Initial and Date – Put your initials and date on every working paper.
8. Summary of conclusions – Summarize the results of work performed and identify the overall significance of any weaknesses or exceptions found.
