Future of Accountancy Profession

Image result for future of accountant professionFuture of Accountancy Profession

Accountancy profession will face significant challenges in coming times with the evolving technologies, globalization and new form of regulations. Along with tough challenges come exciting opportunities which accountants in business and practice are going to face. Emerging technologies and global trends are definitely reshaping the accountancy profession in many countries across the world including India, China, and Europe etc.

The new changes and challenges demands better marketing and branding of the accountants. A survey from ABN says ‘87% of the respondents thought that the accountants needed to market themselves better’. It is demand of the profession that accountants build of brand of themselves or the company to gain belief of the respondents. They would not just give you world as soon as they meet you. They would first like to know more about you, gain confidence that you are reliable and then an accountant can expect work from them. It is very important to build good relationship, “Accountants need to be multi-disciplinary and to acquire and develop skills and knowledge such as psychology, leadership, negotiation, critical thinking and creativity,” says Fung.

With the automation handling basic work, Accountants now have much time left with them to learn new and smart technologies to enhance their traditional approach of working. Smart software includes cloud computing, greater use of social media etc. This will lead to better outsourcing and engagement with stakeholders and help reaching broader communities.  Though accountancy is going to change radically in future but the change will be slow since people still rely on its stability. “It’s not a future where there’s nothing for people to do, but it is a future where the sorts of things that they do are quite different to what has been done traditionally” says Daniel at ICAS Conference 2017.

Accountants will have to be smarter and learn more technical and integrative skills because this change will definitely give birth to more exciting and new opportunities and exposure to the accountants.

Skills which would be required by accountants to align with the future changes:

  • Communication and relationship

Strong communication will lead to good relationships. A successful must be able to explain complex issues in a lucid manner. Building relationship with client is important to gain their confidence and this helps a lot in profession.

  • Technologically updated

Accountants must keep abreast of the latest technologies bringing in automation and taking over the traditional way of working. Because no matter how much we develop the systems and machine, there would always be a need of human intervention to make it reliable and stable. An accountant must be able to suggest and advice clients and bosses to get the best out of technology.

  • Flexible and adaptive

The best in the profession are those who are well prepared for the change and welcome it with open hands. And this is tested even more when the pace of change is accelerating. Ability to adapt is the sign of a good accountant.

Elements of Financial Statements

Image result for financial statementThe financial elements of a financial statement are broadly classified into five categories. These are grouped according to the monetary characteristics they possess. Let’s have a brief understanding of all five.

Assets

An asset is a resource (either tangible or intangible) which is in control of the enterprise to derive monetary benefits from the use of it. Some of the points to be remembered are:

  • An asset should not necessarily have a physical existence.
  • An asset need not necessarily be owned. It should only be in control of the enterprise. An asset taken on lease from its owner will not be mentioned in the books of theowner but to whom it is in control of or leased to.
  • In order for an asset to be recognized, there should be sufficient control over it. For example copyrights, patents, trademarks etc.
  • An asset in order to be called an asset should be able to reap future financial benefits. An asset who ceases to have any value in a current accounting period cannot be termed as an asset.
  • An asset’s value or cost should be easily calculable or measurable.

Liabilities

Liability is defined as an obligation of an enterprise that arose as a result of past events. Some of the important points to be remembered in its context are:

  • A liability is recognized with the evidence shown in the balance sheet date.
  • Certain provisions like provision for depreciation, provision for bad and doubtful debts and other provisions are not considered aliability but rather as a reduction in the value of theasset.

Equity

Equity can be defined as the remaining interest of an enterprise over its assets after deduction of liabilities from it. In short, equity is the excess of aggregate assets over aggregate liabilities.

Income

Income can be:

  • any increase in the economic benefit as a result of inflow or encashment of asset
  • Increase in equity with the decrease in liability.

Income also includes the revenues and gains. Revenue is an income which arises during the ordinary course of business whereas,a gain is an income which may or may not arise during the normal course of business.

Expense

The expense is an antonym of income. Following are considered as an expense:

  • Any decrease in the economic benefit as a result of outflow
  • Deterioration of assets

The expense is defined as the charges incurred in the ordinary course of business like wages paid, rent paid etc., whereas losses may or may not incur in the ordinary course of business. For example loss on the sale of fixed assets. Expenses are shown on the debit side of profit and loss A/C.

  • Who needs to file Return in GST regime?
  • Every registered taxable person – who crosses the threshold limit for payment of taxes. A supplier needs to be registered when the aggregate turnover crosses Rs. nine lacs but he become taxable person ONLY when he crosses Rs. ten lacs. So he will be required to file returns when he crosses the threshold limit of Rs. ten lacs. There are some other class of persons who need to be registered and therefore will have to file returns like interstate suppliers, TDS deductors, e-commerce operators, suppliers supplying goods through e-commerce operators etc (reference Schedule-III and Question 6 of the Registration Chapter).

  • No. It depends on whether B2B or B2C plus whether Intra-state or Inter-state supplies.
  • For B2B supplies, all invoices, whether Intra-state or Inter- state supplies, will have to be uploaded. Why So? Because ITC will be taken by the recipients, invoice matching is required to be done.
  • In B2C supplies, uploading in general may not be required as the buyer will not be taking ITC. However still in order to implement the destination based principle, invoices of value more than Rs.2.5 lacs in inter-state B2B supplies will have to be uploaded.

A Comparative Outlook Of Goods And Services Tax

A Comparative Outlook Of Goods And Services Tax

Image result for A Comparative Outlook Of Goods And Services Tax

The GST is a new regime in the world of indirect taxes. It is a tax on the sale of goods and services and a uniform rate is applied to all kinds of goods and services.  It is proposed to be brought into force from 1st of April 2017. All the complications which people faced while filing their indirect tax returns are said to be removed by GST. Besides, introduction of GST also paves way for the foreign investors to invest in India. Further,it is expected that GST will ease the operations and provide ease of entry for global dealers.

To have an insight of GST knowing the objectives is important. The basic objectives of GST are listed below:

  • The whole of Indian market must be integrated as one global village having a uniform rate
  • The working efficiency of the indirect taxes department must be increased. The formalities are made much easier with the introduction of GST.
  • The tax incidence must have an impact only on the domestic consumption and not on industrial consumption.
  • To reduce tax evasion by making it compulsory to get GST registration for all businesses carrying on business in sale of goods and services.
  • To remove the cascading effect of taxes. In present,we tend to pay taxes on taxes leading to double taxation. This problem is solved by GST.
  • The cooperative federalism would be built between the central and the state governments.
  • The existing confusions about the indirect tax rates especially the service tax and State VAT ought to be solved once GST is in force.

The GST model

The GST council has decided that the taxes would be collected by both central and state governments. There are 3 wings of GST:

  • Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) which is imposed and collected by the central government on interstate sales.
  • State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) which is levied and duly collected by the respective state governments on local sales.
  • Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) which covers those which are not covered in the above two and collected by the central government.

The principle of set off and input credit

The set off benefit is made available to the people who would have purchased goods with the intention of sales. Thus they can set off the GST which is paid. But there are specific provisions regarding the set off. Some basic rules being:

  • The taxes which are paid against the CGST should be taken as the credit when the same goods are being purchased and sold.
  • The SGST cannot be set off with the CGST. It can be set off against the IGST if there is any surplus available.
  • Cross set off between the CGST and SGST is strictly prohibited by the GST law.
  • But on purchase of capital goods, the set off can be made between the CGST and SGST. Thus the government is encouraging the purchase and sale of capital goods.

Few exemptions to be provided by the GST as suggested by the GST council

In the prevailing indirect laws like service tax, there is a mega exemption list which exempts few kinds of services from the levy of service tax. Similarly, the GST council has laid down that GST also should be providing some exemptions to certain range of goods and services. A list of such goods and services proposed to be exempted from levy of GST are:

  1. All government public services inclusive of the following:-
  • Government schools and colleges
  • Defense department
  • Police departments
  • Intelligence and verification departments

On the other hand, the following services are not going to have exemptions:

  • Banks and insurance companies
  • Post and telegraph
  • Railway department
  • Commercial departments
  • Education and health departments
  1. Any sale of food articles which are unprocessed and which are covered under the public distribution system.
  2. Health and education services which are provided by the non-governmental establishments.
  3. Any transactions of service contract between an employee and his employer for the service provided as well as service received.
  4. GST exempts goods including alcoholic products, tobacco products and emission fuels.
  5. Also petroleum products and natural gas are outside the ambit of GST and they would continue to be levied and collected by the central government.

The taxes to be subsumed by GST and its impact

The central levies which will be subsumed by GST once it comes into force are listed below which helps us to have a comparative analysis:

  • Central excise
  • Service tax
  • Additional customs duty
  • All cesses and surcharges

These taxes would no longer continue to apply. They shall cease to be collected from the central government. Thus the service industries which face a lot of confusions and dilemmas while they undertake filing of service tax returns will be benefitted by GST. The excise and customs too will have fewer complications now and the customs clearance offices will be benefitted to a great extent by GST.

State levies which would be subsumed in GST are:

  • State VAT
  • Entry tax
  • Luxury tax
  • Entertainment tax

There are differential rates in the state VAT and people face difficulties in determining the rate. GST would fix that problem. Also, the sky scrapping rates of entry tax and luxury taxes are washed away benefiting mostly the customers.

Thus the introduction of GST will lower the prices of many products and services. There will be a uniform rate applicable to the whole of India. All the confusions about the differential rates would thus be removed by GST. The tax authorities too are benefitted as they don’t have to crack their heads searching for what rate is applicable to what kind of product. The collection of revenue would be regular to the government as the GST would be made compulsory to all indulged in sale of goods and services. At the end of the day, except for few industries or categories, majority of the tax stake holders are going to be benefitted by the GST. Whole of India is looking forward to the introduction of GST with their fingers crossed!
