And she emphasized that city finance director Paul Rizza, who's last day in town hall was Tuesday after 13-years, will not be investigated for this $2 million problem. What is clear is that East Haven officials have two year's worth of budgets to correct in a short amount of time." Source

What if accounting?

2009-06-25T07:55:00.001-07:00

Just needed to remove the first post which I wrote about myself to go away from the front page.

It's sad. So make it the memory which I need to focus on and to get it with more bad passion.

Accounting seems to be over for the person who made this blog

2009-06-25T07:49:00.000-07:00

No income, no passing ratio at the benefit of the SAD mind. Maybe that's the way life works and you can't work things out really easily the way you want things to come out.

SAD BUT TRUE. No more accounting for the moment. Yes, dreams do come true. Not when you lack something.

So, wish me luck. And if possible, with your support will start and finish ACCA again. Let's see how it goes. Age is increasing, prospects are don't know where they are going.

Let's hope for the best. For the moment in a very tough, rough, hard, crazy situation right now.

Would've loved to make a fourth effort in passing the paper with anger and more angst.

Maybe I needed that failure. Maybe, that's good. I really needed the energy boost.

Passing makes you believe.
Failing makes you angry and make you false believe. Energy boost is given by both. No doubt about that.

[ QUESTION ] [ AND ] [ ANSWERS ] [ ON ] [ CONTINGENT ] [ LIABILITY ]

2009-05-06T15:26:00.001-07:00

WHAT IS CONTINGENT LIABILITY?

- Obligation that may possibly ( take it as 50% likelihood of occurring ) arise from past events not fully controllable by the business.
- A present Obligation that may or may not occur that is why it is not be recognized as a liability.
- An unsure but potential liability.

WHY CONTINGENT LIABILITY IS NOT RECOGNIZED?

- Business cannot determine any future monetary benefits.
- Not reliably information to categorize it as Contingent Liability.

SHOULD THE CONTINGENT LIABILITY DISCLOSED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS?

- Yes, they should be disclosed as business sees any probability of it occuring.

SHOULD THE CONTINGENT LIABILITY DISCLOSED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHEN THE OUTCOME SEEMS NOT PROBABLE?

- No, you should have guessed. And it's right. No need to disclose when business knows it won't happen in a million years ( business analysts and accountants seems sure ).

HOW CONTINGENT LIABILITY SHOULD BE DISCLOSED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS?

- By writing notes in Financial Statements. It is not disclosed on the face of SFP - Statement of Financial Position

IF A COMPANY " A " SUES ANOTHER COMPANY " B " IS THE AMOUNT STILL TO BE INCURRED CONTINGENT LIABILITY ?

- Yes, as Company " A " sees the probability of sue case taken up in the court or settling by meeting - Business sees some money exchange between parties. And if the company is found to be guilty then it's no more a Contingent Liability but a Current Liability.

Hopefully, these have cleared your concepts on Liability and mine too. Still have to appear for the paper. Do pray for me.

YOUR ACCOUNTING, ACCOUNTANTS AND ACCOUNTING FIRMS

2009-03-11T01:00:00.000-07:00

Accouting is one of the oldest professions still up and running. Infact it's just not comprehendible to live without the "money manager's" in this modern world. Please excuse for calling accountants 'money managers'. The field is way too complicated and the people and system too sophiticated too be called so.
From tax, to tax return preparation, From cost accountants to appraisers to certified public accountants. Infact accounting outsourcing has become the topic of future. Companies like the Big four have been outsourcing their services for quiet some time now.

If you want a career in accounting ( accounting careers ) start by searching for acconting employment.

You know that accounting and accounting firms earn a lot of money. This post is about how difficult yet fun is to be an accountant and how exiciting is to work for big four Deloitte & Touche ,Ernst & Young , PricewaterhouseCoopers ,KPMG.

Simply to tell you the truth I have no idea how it feels like to work for the best brands in accounting and of accountants. You know far better than me, as you are accountant students like me and would be learning at a far pace than I am. Sadly looks at the computer wondering what just happened.

Ok! What is accounting?
Hmmm, Accounting is recording, summarizing, analyzing and presentation of financial data. The word Accountant is derived from the French "Compter' which took its origin from the Latin "Computare". Luca Pacioli (1445 - 1517) , is credited with the invention of double entry system ( All Debits = All Credits ) which is prevalent accounting system all over the world. There are two main branches of accounting

Gotta rush. Someone is outside waiting for me. Yes, I have a real life. Apart from typing words. Yes, I am confused human after all. Take care. You people give me suggestions. Your suggestions are always valued.

Note: The links are wikipedia and google searches

Dealing with common costs in process costing

Just guessing

Process costing: Costs calculating system for processes. e.g Industrial process etc. (blame me if wrong)

Process costing can have two types of products separated in the process .
1. Joint and 2. By-product

Joint products are those products one or two whatever the output of a process results in. The output products both have saleable (value gained on sale) value and both are different from each other. e.g. Oil-refining process gives petrol and paraffin both have high saleable value.

By-product as it's name suggests is an extra product that arises as a result of a process of a making a main/principal product. The by-product has a low saleable value as compared to the main product under production e.g. timber industry - gives sawdust and bark which has very low saleable value as compared to timber itself.

Don't have a clue! Blame me. I confess to all the blames.
