Asset and liability basics

Knowledge of accounts can make life much easy. If you are to invest in a new business or joining your forefather’s business, planning to take some loan, looking for job in any marketing company, desire to be the manager of a multinational company or have the onus to manage your own assets and liabilities, knowing some basics of accounts becomes mandatory.

Broadly, accounting is bifurcated into two categories-

Cash Bases Accounting


Accrual Accounting
The Cash Based accounting pertains to the management of an individual’s personal monetary transactions. In this case, he keeps a track of the money he withdrew, deposited, gave or received from someone etc. This accounting comes to life when actual cash transactions take place.

The Accrual Accounting requires an accountant who notes the transactions even if no money has been actually exchanged. This method works on the principle of comparing or seeing the ratio of the expenses to expenditure. If the expenditure is more, you need to cut down your luxuries, if not then it’s always good to have some savings for future. This type of accounting tells you the amount that you owed; this might not match with the figure of your bank balance.

In the language of accounting there are several key terms that one needs to be familiar with. Some of the crucial ones are discussed below-

The Assets- the assets are generally those possessions of an individual that have a good market value or are quite valuable. Assets are mainly classified into three types-
Current Asset- the cash is the most basic asset of any individual. The money that is being held in accounts like the checking and savings accounts is also included in the cash. Also inclusive are the marketable securities in the form of bonds, stocks, shares etc. The money lent or payments due from clients, even form a part of it.

Fixed Asset- comprises of all the tangible valuable things like property, machines, equipments, land and the like that are not meant to be sold.

Intangible Asset- incorporates all the untouchable things like copyrights, patents, trademarks etc. that have tremendous monetary significance.

The law of opposites governs the nature; where there are assets, there will be liabilities. These are the debts that you have to pay back to your creditors. This can be done through giving cash or any other asset like jewelry, some other goods etc. Liabilities again are of two kinds-

1. The Current Liabilities- the liabilities that are to be paid back within a certain time limit and most often through your current assets. These include the accounts payable i.e. type of bill that you have to monthly, the Notes Payable-loans taken from banks meant to be repaid within 30 days and the Accrued Expenses- the compulsory expenses like taxes, wages, interests etc. where the bills are not received but the balances of each must be repaid.

2. Long Term Liabilities-
those debts that can be repaid at ease for the tenure is more then a month.

The Financial Capital

Is the economic capital. It is any liquid medium or merchandise that stands for wealth or other styles or capital. There are four ways to manage and display the financial capital. First, this capital is needed when a contract is made with any sort of capital asset. The financial instruments work in the form of currency in case of sale, purchase or trade of goods i.e. the medium exchanges. Second, it works as a settled medium or mode like gold for the

Standard of Deferred Payment. Third, The Unit of Account has a market value attached to it which in turn varies with the economy of the country. Fourth, The Source of Value is concerned with financial capital that needs to be saved and recovered. It is a collection of things like gold, real estate, collectibles etc.

Petty Cash

Is an important factor in business. It is the smallest account within a business setting or the cash in bills and coinage required to pay little expenses.

Types of Business

There are several kinds of business one should be aware of like

Sole proprietorship

Where a single individual who starts the business owns it too.

Partnerships- the companies or businesses started by two or more persons where they conjointly own it.

Corporations

Involve lot many shareholders or investors who are responsible in taking decisions for the company.

Limited Liability Companies

can be said to be sisters of corporations. Here the business members are not under a legal obligation to pay the debts if the business fails.

Payrolls

The term payroll designates the manner in which you will be paying the employees of your company and even yourself. Many multinational companies cater to payroll service provider companies that do the work quite efficiently.

These are some of the broad guidelines that will help you grasp the basics of accounting. It is essential to have some such wisdom for accounts as it is fruitful in all walks of life.

Availing of Our Services

under Availing of Our Services

As an entrepreneur or small- or medium-scale business owner, you realize the value of your time. Running a business is a dynamic activity: it is imperative to be on top of the situation 24/7/365. Unfortunately, the little details of running a business tend to eat up your precious little time and detract from the more important concerns of running the business.

As a manager of a medium- to large-scale corporation, you are probably familiar with the periodic build-up in the overall company workload: peak seasons bring in torrents of drowning paperwork that, if not properly managed, will take up a lot of your time and energy, both of which are better off spent on actually managing the company. The fact that this phenomenon is seasonal in nature makes it infeasible to hire full-time permanent employees, and hiring part-time employees will further take up a lot of time and resources.

Our complete contact details can be found on our Contact Us page on this website. We look forward to a productive working relationship with you and your company or business.

Pros and Cons of Having an Offshore Bank Account

under Recent Articles

Offshore banking has been infamously associated with corrupt executives, drug dealers or other unlawful people avoiding taxation and keeping discreet accounts to hide their criminal deeds. However, this is not generally true. In fact, 80 – 90% of offshore bank accounts are used to protect businesses from lawsuits, scams or other threats.

An offshore bank is typically located in a place with low or no tax jurisdiction. People mostly open an offshore bank account for this reason, for it has legal and financial benefits. However, while there are advantages in offshore banking, there are disadvantages as well.

Pros:

1. Offshore banks can provide stable jurisdictions and regulated banking systems. This is beneficial for people living in politically troubled areas where their assets may freeze, or worse, disappear.

2. There’s not much government interference in offshore banks, so sometimes they offer higher interest rates and lower cost bases than in home countries.

3. Offshore banks sometimes offer services that domestic banks may not be able to provide. Examples of these services are anonymous bank accounts, investment opportunities that cannot be offered anywhere else, and lower of higher rate loans.

4. Offshore banking can provide developing countries opportunities to prosper because offshore finance is an industry that could make remote islands be engaged in source investment, thus creating economical growth.

5. Offshore banks mostly pay interest without having to deduct tax.

Cons:

1. Offshore finance, although a legitimate financial establishment, has been linked with unlawful acts like terrorism, underground economy and money laundering. Along with the events that followed the September 11 attacks, offshore banks were accused of helping terrorist groups and organized crime groups.

2. Offshore bank accounts are mostly available to those who have higher incomes, as the cost of establishing an account is quite high. This leaves the tax burden to the middle-income group in developed countries.

3. Offshore banking has been referred to as the solution to all the financial and legal asset protection issues. However, this is not always the case.
