Branch Accounting

Chapter # 2

BRANCH ACCOUNTING

Branch accounting is an accounting system in which each department or Branch of a business is established as a separate cost centre or budget centre. The net profit per Branch may be added together to arrive at the profit for the whole business. Branch accounts may be prepared to show the performance of both a main trading centre (i.e. the Head Office) and subsidiary trading centre (i.e. Branches) but with all the accounting records being maintained by Head Office. Alternatively, separate entity Branch accounts are prepared in which Branches maintain their own records, which are later combined with Head Office records to prepare accounts for the whole business.

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A BRANCH

There are two alternative systems: 1. The branch does not maintain a complete set of accounting records. The head office serves only as an accounting and control center for the branches. 2. The branch maintains a complete set of accounting records consisting of journal entries and ledger accounts. Financials statements are prepared by the branch account and forwarded to the head office. This chapter focuses on the second system that the branch maintains its own accounting records.

RECIPROCAL LEDGER ACCOUNTS USED BY THE HEAD OFFICE AND BRANCH

Head Office Ledger Account: This account is used by the branch to account for all transactions with the home office. It is credited for all cash, merchandise or other assets provided by the head office to the branch. It is debited for all cash, merchandise, or other assets sent by the branch to the head office or to other branches. This account represents the net investment by the head office in the branch. At the end of a period, the balance of Income Summary account of a branch is closed to the head office account. Branch Ledger Account: This account is a reciprocal ledger account (to head office account) used by the head office to account for any transactions with the branches. It is debited for cash, merchandise and services provided to the branch by the head office and for the net income reported by the branch. It is credited for cash, or other assets received from the branch, and for net losses reported by the branch.

METHODS OF BILLING MERCHANDISE SHIPMENT TO BRANCH

Three alternative methods are available to head office in billing the merchandise shipped to the branches: 1. Billed at head office cost. 2. Billed at a percentage above the head office cost. 3. Billed at the branchs retail selling price.

ALLOWANCE FOR OVER VALUATION

Head Office sells merchandise to Branch more than selling price. This additional profit which is earned by the Head Office from the shipment of merchandise to the Branch is known as allowance for over valuation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Separate financial statements for branches should be prepared so that management can evaluate the performance of each branch. The branchs financial statements may be revised by the head office to include the allocated expenses incurred by the head office. Also, the financial statements of branches should be revised to eliminate any intra-company profits on merchandise shipments or interest charge on capital investments. For investors, the head office and branches are a single business entity. Thus, combined financial statements should be prepared for external users.
