Accounting is the art or science of interpreting, measuring, and communicating the results of economic activities whether you are paying your phone bill, balancing your checkbook, preparing your income tax return or managing an international corporation, you are working with accounting. Accounts Manager makes the important financial decisions with consultation of Director and Chief executive of company.
Record of all departments like import department, Export department, Purchase and sale department, are maintained here. So this department feels a burden of work. Accountant is very much busy person who gives instructions to six members of finance department and checks their work time-to-time .His ten-year experience has made the work easier for him. All types of tax rates, recent changes in tax policies, different codes, companies’ names are on his fingertips.
The accounts department is responsible for the entire accounting process of the organization regarding the recording of transactions, designing the accounting policies and accounting system, preparing financial statements and computer application. If we consider a company a cell then we can say that accounts department has role of nucleus.
Without accounts department there is no possibility of doing business even sight weakness’ on the part of accounts department can badly effect the performance of whole organization.



Functions of the Department
Very first and an important function of accounting department is recording the business transactions on vouchers. This is also called process of vouching. This is made for internal record keeping. Auditors specifically audit vouchers. Wrong vouching will lead to error in the system and ultimately create problems.
From vouchers information is recorded in daybook and cashbook. As each voucher along with its invoice, DO and other necessary documents are kept in the record room so daybook is one that can give information about parties DR and name of account CR along with amount.
In order to see accounts in condense form ledger is used. From daybook all the entries are posted in ledger. Ledger represents DR or CR balance of each party. So from ledger we can see amount that is to be paid to a party or the amount that is to be received and the balance at the end of the month.
After this all the DR balances and CR balances of all the parties are posted in trial balance. The trial balance must be equal at both sides. Otherwise there is any error in recording the transactions.
Now trial balance becomes the source of profit and loss and balance sheet.
This department also designs the accounting policies. All the work in this department is being take place on accrual basis.
The department prepares trial balance at the end of every three months and Profit and loss accounts and balance sheet are prepared at the end of year. The financial year ends on september30 of each year. The financial statements are presented to shareholders

Chapter # 8
RATIO ANALYSIS
An index that relates two accounting numbers and is obtained by dividing one number by the other.
To evaluate a firm’s financial condition and performance, the financial analyst needs to perform “checkups” on various aspects of the firm’s financial health. A tool frequently used during these checkups is a financial ratio, or, index, which relates two pieces of financial data by dividing one quantity by the other.
Why bother with a ratio? Why not simply look at the raw numbers themselves?
We calculate ratios because in this way we get comparison that may prove more useful than the raw numbers themselves. For example, suppose that a firm had a net profit figure this year of $1 million. That looks pretty profitable. But what if the firm has $100million invested in total assets. Dividing net profit by total assets, we get$1M/$100M= .01, the firms return on total assets. The .01 figure means that each dollar of assets invested in the firm earned a 1 percent return. A saving account provides a better return on investment than this, and with less risk. In this example the ratio proved quite informative.

Expression of Ratios:
Ratios can be expressed in the following ways:
·        Actual ratios are arrived at by dividing one number by another e.g. current assets to current liability is 2:1
·        Ratio between two numerical facts usually over a period of time e.g. Stock turnover is three times a year.
·        Ratio between two numerical may be expressed in percentage.

Advantages of Ratio Analysis.
Through ratio analysis we can evaluate the financial health, operation efficiency and profitability.
It gives a chance of inter firm comparison to measure efficiency and helps management to resort some remedial measures.
Trend analysis helpful toward planning and forecasting.
It provides good help in decision making for investors and to the financial institutions.

Classification of ratios:
·       Liquidity Ratios
·       Financial Leverage or Debt Ratios
·       Activity Ratios
·      Profitability Ratios

1.  Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios are used to measure a firm’s ability to meet short-term obligations. From these ratios, much insight can be obtained into the present cash solvency of the firm and the firm’s ability to remain solvent in the event of adversity.
a.    Current Ratio: 
One of the most general and frequently used of these ratios is the current ratio:
Formula:
Current Assets/ Current Liabilities
Year                    1999                     2000
Ratio                     .81                      1.04

Description
Above figures show that in 1999 firms ability to covers its current liabilities is much lower and firm has more current liabilities than its current assets.
In year 2000 firm’s condition is much better than year 1999 and firm’s current ratio is 1.04. That shows, the firm has 1.04 times more current assets than current liabilities. The standard of this ratio is 2:1

b.   Acid Test Ratio:
A more conservative measure of liquidity is acid test or quick ratio. It shows a firm’s ability to meet current liabilities with its most liquid assets.

Formula.
Current Assets-Inventories/Current Liabilities
 
 Year                   1999           2000
 Ratio                    .42              .71
Description
This ratio serves as a supplement to the current ratio in analyzing liquidity. This ratio is same as current ratio except that it excludes inventories. The ratio concentrates primarily on the more liquid current assets, cash, and receivables. In relation to current liabilities.
Thus this ratio provides a more penetrating measure of liquidity than current ratio.
Above figure show that in 1999 quick ratio is .42, which means company’s liquid assets, are less than ½ of its liabilities. While in year 2000 the condition is better than it was in 1999.The standard of this ratio is 1:1. 

2.  Financial Leverage (Debt) Ratios.
Ratios that simply show the extent to which firm is financed by debt.
a.   Debt to Equity Ratio
To assess the extent to which the debt financing is used relative to the equity financing. The debt to equity ratio is computed by simply dividing the total debt of the firm by its shareholders equity:
Formula
Total debt/Shareholders’ Equity
Year        1999            2000                     
Ratio          8.6             2.01

Description.
Above figure in 1999 of 8.6 shows that total debt including current liabilities is 8.6 times greater than total shareholder’s equity. It means company dependence on debts is much higher and there is very small portion of shareholders equity.
While in year2000 the company has improved its performance by lowering its dependence on loans. The figure2.01 shows that total debt is 2.01 higher than shareholders equity.

b.   Debt to total Assets Ratio
This type of leverage ratio shows the percentage by which firm’s assets are financed by debt. This is calculated by dividing Total debt to Total asset.

Formula
Total Debt/Total Asset
Year               1999                2000
Ratio               66%                 44%

Description:
Thus in 1999 66% of the firms assets are financed by with the debt while remaining 33% assets are financed by shareholders equity. Similarly in 2000 44% of the firms assets has been financed with the debt and remaining 56% assets are financed by shareholders equity.

3. Activity Ratios:
These ratios are also known as efficiency or turnover ratios. Measures how effectively a firm is using its assets. It is calculated by dividing cost of goods sold by average inventory or by dividing Net sales by Inventory.
a.   Inventory turnover Ratio:
Formula
Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory OR
Net Sales/Inventory

Year          1999           2000                   
Ratio         7.69            15.06

Description:
In 1999 the figure of 7.69 shows that inventory is being converted in to sales 7.69 times in a given year. While in year 2000 this turnover has increased to 15.06. Generally, the higher the inventory turnover, the more efficient the inventory management of the firm, and the “fresher” more liquid, the inventory.
Relatively low inventory turnover is often a sign of excessive, slow moving or obsolescence items in inventory.

b.   Total Assets turnover:
The total asset turnover ratio tells us the relative efficiency with which a firm utilizes the total assets to generate sales. this is calculated by dividing the net sales with total assets.



Formula:
Net Sales/Total assets
 Year     1999                2000
Ratio      1.6                 1.99

Description:
In the above figure, in the year 1999 total asset turnover ratio is 1.6 that means each Rupee of company assets is generating Rs1.6 of sales. While in year 2000 each Rupee of company assets is generating Rs 1.99 of sales. This shows that the company has improved its performance in the year2000.

4. Profitability Ratios:
Profitability Ratios are of two types --- those showing profitability in relation to sales and those showing profitability in relation to investment. Thes ratios indicate the firm’s overall effectiveness of operation.

Profitability in Relation to Sales
a.   Gross profit ratio
This ratio tells us the profit of the firm relative to sales, after we deduct the cost of producing goods. It also shows how much a firm is effective in producing and selling goods above cost.


Formula:
Gross Profit/Net Sales
Year              1999                    2000
Ratio         13.08%                20.92%

Description:
In year 1999 the gross profit ratio is 13.08% which means gross profit is 13.08% of total net sales of company in the year 1999.In the year 2000 the firm’s gross profit ratio shows that firm is more effective in producing and selling goods above cost by showing its gross profit ratio 20.92%.

b.    Net Profit Ratio
The net profit margin is a measure of the firm’s profitability of sales after taking account of all expenses and income taxes. It tells us a firm’s net income per dollar of sales

Formula      
Net profit/Net Sales
Year           1999                     2000
Ratio          2.19%                  8.19%



Description:
In the year 1999 the firm’s profitability after taking account of all expenses and income taxes is 2.19% of net sales. We can say that firm’s net income per Rs of sales is 2.19%.
In the next year firm’s net income per Rs of sales is 8.19%. This is about four times greater than it was in last year.

Profitability in Relation to Investment
The second group of profitability ratios relates profit to investment.

Return on Investment (ROI)
Measures overall effectiveness in generating profits with available assets, earning power of invested capital.
Formula:
Net profit after tax/Total asset
Year       1999                 2000
Ratio       3.5%             16.34%

Description:
In the year 1999 the firm has earned profit after tax 16,702,282 and in2000 the profit after taxation was Rs 70,626,918. Due to this there is large difference in both ratio figures. In year 1999 the figure 3.5% shows that each Rs of total assets is generating 0.035 paisa of net income. Similarly in year 2000 each Rs of asset is generating 0.163 paisa of net income.
