INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY: Financial management is a service activity which is concerned with providing quantitative information which is of financial nature which may be needed for making Economic decisions regarding the choice among alternative course of actions The financial management is a process of identification accumulation; analysis preparation interpretation and communication of financial information to plan evaluate and control a business firm. Financial management is that specialized function of general management which is related to the procurement of finance and its effective utilization for the achievement of the goals of an organization. Finance may be defined as the provision of money at the time where, it is required. Finance refers to the management flews of money through an organization. It concerns with the application of skills in the manipulation, use and control of money. Different authorities have interpreted the term finance differently. However there are three main approaches to finance. The first approach views finance as to providing of funds needed by a business on most suitable terms this approach confines fiancs to the raising of funds and to the study of financial institutions & instruments from where funds can be procured. The second approach relates fianc to cash.

 The third approach views fianc is being concerned with raising funds & their effective utilization. The Fixed Assets Management is the Traditional Financial Statement of a business enterprise. While they do furnish useful financial data regarding its operations, a serious limitation of these statements is that they do not provide information regarding changes in the firms financial position during a particular period of time. Fixed assets are acquired for use in the business for earning revenues so they are shown at their book values and at their current realizable values. But when the business unit is not a going concern and is to be liquidated, current realizable value of fixed assets become relevant. A fundamental concept of accounting, closely related to the going concern concept, is cost concept of accounting. According to this concept, a fixed asset is recorded in the books at the price paid to acquire it and that this cost is the basis for all subsequent accounting for the asset. This concept does not mean that the fixed asset will always be shown at cost but it means that cost becomes basis for all future Accounting for the fixed asset. Asset is recorded at cost at the time of its purchase but is systematically reduced in its value by charging depreciation. The market value of a fixed asset may change with the passage of time, but for accounting purpose it continues to be shown in the books at its book value, i.e., the cost at which it was purchased minus depreciation provided up-to-date.

Fixed assets management is an accounting process that seeks to track fixed assets for the purposes of financial accounting, preventive maintenance, and theft deterrence.

Fixed assets, also known as a non-current asset or as property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), is a term used in accounting for assets and property which cannot easily be converted into cash. This can be compared with current assets such as cash or bank

accounts, which are described as liquid assets. In most cases, only tangible assets are referred to as fixed.

Moreover, a fixed/non-current asset can also be defined as an asset not directly sold to a firm's consumers/end-users. As an example, a baking firm's current assets would be its inventory (in this case, flour, yeast, etc.), the value of sales owed to the firm via credit (i.e. debtors or accounts receivable), cash held in the bank, etc. Its non-current assets would be the oven used to bake bread, motor vehicles used to transport deliveries, cash registers used to handle cash payments, etc. Each aforementioned non-current asset is not sold directly to consumers.

These are items of value which the organization has bought and will use for an extended period of time; fixed assets normally include items such as land and buildings, motor vehicles, furniture, office equipment, computers, fixtures and fittings, and plant and machinery. These often receive favorable tax treatment (depreciation allowance) over shortterm assets. According to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 16, Fixed Assets are assets whose future economic benefit is probable to flow into the entity, whose cost can be measured reliably.

It is pertinent to note that the cost of a fixed asset is its purchase price, including import duties and other deductible trade discounts and rebates. In addition, cost attributable to bringing and installing the asset in its needed location and the initial estimate of dismantling and removing the item if they are eventually no longer needed on the location.

The primary objective of a business entity is to make profit and increase the wealth of its owners. In the attainment of this objective it is required that the management will exercise due care and diligence in applying the basic accounting concept of Matching Concept.

Matching concept is simply matching the expenses of a period against the revenues of the same period.

The use of assets in the generation of revenue is usually more than a year- that is long term. It is therefore obligatory that in order to accurately determine the net income or profit for a period depreciation is charged on the total value of asset that contributed to the revenue for the period in consideration and charge against the same revenue of the same period. This is essential in the prudent reporting of the net revenue for the entity in the period.

The study invents valuation of fixed assets in LG ELECTRONICS INDIA PVT LTD, Valuation of fixed assets is important in order to have fair measure of profit or loss and financial position of the concern. NEED FOR STUDY: Fixed Assets play very important role in realign companys objectives the firms to which capital investment vested on fixed assets. Theses fixed assets are not convertible or not liquid able over a period of time the total owner finds and long term liabilities are invested in fixed assets. Since fixed assets playing dominant role in total business the firms has realized the effective utilization of fixed assets. So ration contributes very much in analyzing and utilized properly it effects long term sustainability of the firms in analyzing and utilized properly it affect long term sustainability of the firms which may affect liquidity and solvency and profitability positions of the company. The idle of fixed assets lead a tremendous in financial cost and intangible cost associate to it. So there needs lead a tremendous in financial cost and intangible cost associate to it. So there is need for the companies to evaluate fixed assets performance analysis time to time by comparing with pervious performance comparison with similar company and comparison with industry standards. So chose a study to conduct on the fixed assets analysis of LG ELECTRONICS

INDIA PVT LTD,. Using ratio in comparison with previous year performance, the title of the project is analysis on Fixed Assets management.
