...Introduction Managerial accounting is concerned with providing information to managers- that is, to those who are inside an organization and who direct and control its operations. Managerial accounting can be contrasted with financial accounting, which is concerned with providing information to stockholders, creditors and others who are outside an organization (Garrison and Noreen, 1999). Managerial accounting information includes: * Information on the costs of an organization’s products and services. For Example, managers can use product costs to guide the setting of selling prices. In addition, these product costs are used for inventory valuation and income determination (Horngren and Foster, pp. 2). * Budgets: A budget is a quantitative expression of a plan. * Performance reports: These reports often consist of comparisons of budgets with actual results. The deviations of actual results from budget are called variances (Horngren and Foster, pp. 3) * Other information which assist managers in their planning and control activities. Examples are information on revenues of an organization’s products and services, sales back logs, unit quantities and demands on capacity resources (Kaplan and Atkinson, pp. 1). Managerial Accounting Practices around the World Traditional managerial accounting systems are mainly designed to measure the efficiency of internal processes. In the 1980’s, traditional managerial accounting practitioners were heavily criticized...

...Management Accounting April 10, 2013 Management Accounting Nepalese Perspective Management accounting is the method of measuring the performance of the organization through both quantitative and non-quantitative approach. Financial accounting and cost accounting both give the quantitative measures based upon which decisions are made but it will not be correct to make decisions based solely upon numbers thus only considering financial terms is considered the old method of decision making in management. Decisions made at both the operational level or management level are not always the outcome of financial numbers. Most of the decisions have other factors which make greater impact than the numbers given by the financial accounting. At present the tendency to measure performance on the overall basis rather than just looking at the size of the profit made by the company has tremendously increased the importance of management accounting worldwide including Nepal. The concept of cash flow management and profitability are central to both financial accounting and management accounting. The financial constrains of any organization defines its objectives and its future course, the impact of which needs to be considered by the managers for decision making in steps. Nepalese Perspective Cash Flow Management The most important function for any manager is to maintain the cash flow of the organization. The main cause of business failure in Nepal like elsewhere is not the unprofitability rather...

It works as a facilitator for achieving sustained economic growth through providing efficient monetary intermediation. A strong financial system promotes investment by financing productive business opportunities, mobilizing savings, efficiently allocating resources and makes easy the trade of goods and services. Several studies (McKinnon, 1973; Levine, 1997) have reported that the efficacy of a financial system to reduce information and transaction costs plays an important role in determining the rate of savings, investment decisions, technological innovations and hence the rate of economic growth. Financial development of a country largely depends on effective mobilization of its internal resource. Banks and Financial institutions play pivotal role in the development of the country by performing the task of effective mobilization of its internal resources.

...1. Introduction Introduction: A Bank is a financial institution and a financial intermediaries that accepts deposit and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly through capital markets. A bank is the connection between customers that have capital deficits and customers with capital surpluses. Due to their influence within a financial system and an economy, banks are generally highly regulated in most countries. Most banks operate under a system known as fractional reserve banking where they hold only a small reserve of the funds deposited and lend out the rest for profit. They are generally subject to minimum capital requirements which are based on an international set of capital standards, known as the Basel Accord. Banking Banking in the modern sense of the word can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north like Florence Lucca, Siena, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe. One of the most famous Italian banks was the Medici Bank, set up by Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici in 1397. The earliest known state deposit bank, Banco di San Giorgio (Bank of St. George), was founded in 1407 at Genoa, Italy. Origin of the word “bank” The word bank was borrowed in Middle English from Middle French banque, from Old Italian banca, from Old High German banc, bank "bench, counter". Benches...

...CHAPTER – I 1.1 Background of the Study Internship program is a career-related work experience conducted as an integral part of the academic program. It is very essential to get exposure to "real" business projects and problems, development of managerial skills and increased insights regarding organizational work environments thereby enhancing communication skills as the foundation of professional correspondences and understanding the general structure of most business situations by acquiring the new information and ideas so as to apply them for the benefits of the organization as well as the one’s own career development. The term “Bank” was derived from an Italian word “Banca”. Banks perform various specialized functions. Banks may be defined in terms of the various functions it performs. So it is quite impossible to define bank in just one word. However, bank can be described as such a financial institution that takes in funds as deposits repayable on demand or at short notice. According to the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, “Bank is an establishment for the custody of money received from or on behalf of its customers. Its essential duty is to pay their drafts on it, its profit arise from the use of the money left unemployed by them.” Types of Bank There are many types of bank among them the main types of bank can be categorized as follows: a) Commercial Bank b) Development Bank b) Central Bank 1.2 Brief Introduction about Commercial Bank A commercial...

...publicly accountable enterprises (PAEs) will have to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as their accounting framework under which financial statements are prepared. This means the accounting standards Canada had been using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) will no longer apply. What will this mean for PAEs and their investors? Will there be more or less decision useful information and will securities markets become more efficient with Canada’s adoption of IFRS or is it the same business, just different accounting? Executive Summary Comparing financial statements internationally has become difficult as accounting rules and standards have evolved differently depending on the country due to history, culture, political influence and economics. That is why the IFRS have been created and currently there is almost 100 countries that adhere to IFRS standards. Canada too has decided it must join and in 2011 all Canadian PAE’s will report under IFRS. There are both pros and cons for investors who will be relying on financial information from companies that are using IFRS’s foundation. The adoptions of IFRS will likely cause recognition, measurement and presentation differences in a company’s financial statements. Although IFRS’s mandate is to provide a single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global accounting standards there will be challenges that must be understood otherwise investor confidence will be eroded due to differences...

... June, 2012 Kathmandu, Nepal 1. Introduction Being one of the integral parts of the economic activities, banking sector plays vital role for the economic development of the country. American Institution of banking defines bank as “Corporation which accepts demand deposits subject to cheque’s and makes short term loans to business enterprises, regardless of the scope of its other services.” It deals in the process of channelizing the available resources in the needed sector. It is the intermediary between the deficit and surplus of financial resources. It pools the funds scattered in the economy and mobilizes them to the productive sector. According to Nigam (1967), the increase in capital has always been a sort of prime mover in the process of material growth and the rate of capital formation has been the principal variable in setting the overall pace of economic development. But these institutions inherent a large amount of risk, which cannot be, denied either. If a bank behaves irresponsibly, the costs borne by the economy are enormous. A large amount of depositors’ money is at stake. The bankers have the responsibility of safeguarding the interest of the depositors, the shareholders and the society they are serving. The formal banking system in Nepal started with the establishment of Nepal Bank Ltd, which came into existence as the first commercial bank of Nepal in 1937. Financial liberalization took place in Nepal in the...

...Dewan India. CONSUMER PACKAGED GOODS – INDUSTRY BACKGROUND CPGs were packaged household groceries and supplies consumed readily and regularly, including foods, personal care products and detergents, among others. The CPG industry comprised manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. A broad spectrum of competitors prevailed, from standalones occupying niches to integrated firms straddling the continuum. Globally, profit margins were generally low for CPG companies, and their business models emphasized cutting costs, and chasing volumes and elusive top‐line growth. Three factors usually influenced a consumer’s decision to buy a CPG : price, brand loyalty and impulse. In most developing countries, including India, CPG was a local business dominated by small indigenous players at provincial levels. Very few graduated to national status. Manufacturing was generally outsourced and retail channels were shared. Distribution was a key success factor in the business. In the developing markets, there were almost no CPG firms that played on the global stage. It was not easy to create universally appealing brand positions or product assortments and run far‐flung, people‐intensive retail operations. Having acquired a place among the top 10 CPG companies in India, Dewan was attempting what few other CPG companies from emerging markets had attempted to do : become an international company...
