SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
COMPANY BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

Mile Inn is one of the service lines owned by YDM9 Corporation located at

Lucrene Street, Helvetia Heights, Bacolod City. It started its venture on hotel

operations last October 2016. As a tourist inn, it provides lodging, food and

refreshment, and accommodation for travellers and customers.

Under YDM9 Corporation, a family-owned corporation established in 2016,

started its business in a retail industry, a grocery store, as sole proprietor for years. In

time, it decided to venture out as a distributor or dealer of Coca Cola Products.

Eventually, having the desire to expand, the owners dropped the distribution channel

and engaged in another business opportunity which is in the hospitality industry, Mile

Inn. This resulted to a new line of business – a cafeteria and a laundry shop. Having

these multiple service lines, it decided to incorporate.

THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT INDUSTRY

The Hotel and Restaurant Industry is one the branches of the Hospitality

Industry which is composed of broad categories of fields within which lodging, event

planning, theme parks, transportation, cruise line, and additional fields that
6|Page

consequently forms part the tourism industry. This multibillion-dollar industry depends

on the availability of leisure and disposable income.

The Hospitality Industry is mainly concerned with providing accommodations,

meals, personal services and comfort that caters for both the travelling public, nearby

non-resident public and permanent residents.

The hospitality industry started in France at the beginning of the fifteenth

century. Localized geographic growth caused the improvement of the industry. As the

industry continues, the law eventually required each company engage in the industry to

keep a register of its operations. The first hotel to open has been operated by a family

for forty-six generations in AD 707.

In looking at various industries, barriers to entry by newcomers and

competitive advantages between current players are very important. Among other

things, hospitality industry players find advantage in old classics such as location,

initial and on-going investment support reflected in the material upkeep of facilities

and the luxuries located therein. Characteristics of the personnel working in direct

contact with the customers are also very important. The authenticity, professionalism,

and actual concern for the happiness and well-being of the customers that is

communicated by successful organizations is a clear competitive advantage.

The primary purpose of hotels is to provide travellers and tourists with shelter,

food, refreshment, and similar services and goods, offering on a commercial basis

things that are customarily furnished within households but unavailable to people on a

journey away from home. Historically, hotels have also taken on many other functions,

serving as business exchanges, centers of sociability, places of public assembly and


7|Page

deliberation, decorative showcases, political headquarters, vacation spots, and

permanent residences. The hotel as an institution, and hotels as an industry, has

transformed travel, hastened the settlement of the continent, and extended the influence

of urban culture.

The Hotel Industry is perhaps one of the oldest commercial endeavours in the

world. The emergence of the hotel as a significant commercial institution, however, is

a development of the past few centuries. The location of the hotels had always been

related to the transportation available. During colonial times, hotels were usually

situated in seaport towns, but by the end of the 18th centuries, when the stagecoach

had increased travel within the U.S., many inns and taverns were constructed to offer

lodgings along highway routes. After the construction of railways in the 19th centuries,

large hotels were built near railroad stations to accommodate railway travellers.

Standards of comfort rose and services became appreciable and in the large cities, the

types of lodging provided by some hotels became luxurious.

The leader in the Hotel Industry was taken by the emerging nations of Europe,

especially Switzerland, but the real growth of modern hotel industry took place in the

USA with the inception of "City Hotel" in New York in 1794. Another significant

trend begun in the 1920s was towards corporate hotels than individual ownership of

hotels. This was the result of the steadily increasing costs of building and operating

hotels

During World War II the hotel business flourished. Existing establishments

were occupied nearly to capacity at all times but no new hotels were built. Because of

the growing importance of automobile travel soon after World War II, almost all the
8|Page

new hotels built then were located near highways. By the late 1950s motels began to

rival hotels by offering a broader range of services and facilities. Motels have

increased greatly, and the number of hotels had somewhat decreased. Low hotel

occupancy rates in the 1970s led to the development of budget motels, with cheaper

lodging and fewer amenities. Bed and breakfast and country inns have also grown in

popularity since the 1970s.

The restaurant as we know it today, a place where people come to eat and drink

and socialize, is credited to the French Revolution. The idea of selling food for profit

goes back as far as the earliest civilization.

It can be traced back to the 18th Century. Displaced chefs from aristocratic

households set the precedent of private dining, a la carte menus and gourmet food,

marking the rise of fine dining. The 19th Century brought huge changes in travel,

connecting cities by railway, increasing tourism travel, helping establish luxury dining

destinations in Europe and abroad. The term restaurant itself is French, once used to

describe the rich bouillons served at taverns and public houses to restore the spirits and

relieve ailments.

Following the French Revolution at the end of the 18th Century, unemployed

chefs from aristocratic households began opening their own restaurants. They added

touches of the upper class to their establishments. Guests did not have to take their

meals at a common table, as was typical of taverns and roadside inns. Instead they had

private tables, held by reservations which were then a new concept. They dined with

fine china and cutlery, and tablecloths, all trademarks of modern day fine dining.
9|Page

Menus were framed and at the end of the meal, guests were presented with a check,

tallying the amount of their bill.

THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY

The hospitality sector in the Philippines is a flourishing line of business that

forms a big part in the income generation of the country. It has been forecasted to have

impressive growth and investment in the luxury sector with close to 37% growth in the

existing supply, which includes internationally known brands.

Moreover, the industry is expected to enjoy more than 70% occupancy rates

due to the aggressive overseas promotions of the Department of Tourism and the huge

influx of economic opportunities in the country.

The country’s growth sustainability mainly depends on the spur of domestic

and foreign tourism. This can be achieved by sustaining the economic growth

trajectory, maintaining political stability, and having a well-coordinated tourism plan

that will involve all stakeholders and prospect investors both from the local and

international market. The country’s economic growth is currently on its boom period

due to the Department of Tourism’s "It’s More Fun in the Philippines" campaign.

THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IN THE CITY

The City of Smiles, the center of commerce of the Negros Island, is composed

of shopping malls, hotels, restaurants and up-and-coming businesses that offer

exceptional service. A variety of hotels and lodging houses to choose from are just

around every corner of the city which offers the best amenities focusing on guests’

satisfaction.

The hospitality industry in Bacolod City is highly competitive and will not fall

resources of the industry in the city are armed with skills and values needed in the

industry.

ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEM


15 | P a g e

DEFINITION

Accounting, as a closed-system recording which is the collection of procedures,

methods, techniques, legal regulations, rules and experts, includes the identification,

tracking, measuring, recording, processing, storing, systemizing, valuing, controlling

and publishing of the phenomena influencing the property, financial and profit status

of the enterprise, and ensuring the conditions of continuous, undisturbed activity. In

this regulated system, the accounting information system records the economic events

influencing the enterprise, then processes them according to the demands and conveys

them to the persons or units responsible for decisions. In addition, the system greatly

contributes to preparing different reports, financial statements, working out an expense

management system and compiling controlling reports.

The Accounting Information System (AIS) is in close connection with the

management information department, the accounting and administration department,

the internal control and the information technology team. The harmonic and efficient

activity of these areas characterizes the center of the accounting information system,

which provides for the basic data of the informational database. The information

system works within the enterprise and includes two, closely related aspects – data

processing or information supplying and a decision making aspect. The data-

processing is responsible for acquiring, coding, storing, processing and forwarding the

information necessary for the activity and operation while decision making is
16 | P a g e

responsible for using the information to influence directly or indirectly with the

management processes and the operation of the system.

An information system is a formal process for collecting data, processing the

data into information, and distributing that information to users. The purpose of an

Accounting Information System is to collect, store, and process financial and

accounting data and produce informational reports that managers or other interested

parties can use to make business decisions. Although an AIS can be a manual system,

today most accounting information systems are computer-based. .

FUNCTIONS

Accounting Information Systems have three basic functions:

 The first function of an AIS is the efficient and effective collection and

storage of data concerning an organization’s financial activities,

including getting the transaction data from source documents, recording

the transactions in journals, and posting data from journals to ledgers.

 The second function of an AIS is to supply information useful for

making decisions, including producing managerial reports and financial

statements.

 The third function of an AIS is to make sure controls are in place to

accurately record and process data.


17 | P a g e

IMPORTANCE

Acquiring an accounting information system is every business owners’ goal.

AIS involves the use of software that puts together financial data. Since it can perform

other bookkeeping functions, it can also collect and process transaction data. The most

important factor of installing AIS in your business is that Stakeholders and investors

can easily obtain information that is useful in making decisions. The following factors

make AIS essential to every company:

1. Efficiency. No business wants to waste valuable time in manually storing and

filing data. With such online accounting programs, scanners are able to

automatically generate accounting information.

2. Cost-efficient. Since such programs are accessed online, the use of computers

is imperative.

3. Automation. Should investors and business owners want to see the transactions

and files for a certain year, the data and figures are automatically imported. The

data are already summarized and the information is also timely.

With the modernity of today’s technology, it has become a trend for many business

owners to shift from manual to automation to ensure that the business does well and

thrives well.

PARTS
18 | P a g e

An accounting information system typically has six basic parts:

1. People who use the system, including accountants, managers, and business

analysts.

2. Procedures and instructions which are the ways that data are collected, stored,

retrieved, and processed.

3. Data including all the information that goes into an AIS.

4. Software which consists of computer programs used for processing data.

5. Information technology infrastructure which includes all the hardware used to

operate the AIS.

6. Internal controls which are the security measures used to protect data.

RELIABILITY

Because AIS stores and provides such valuable business information, reliability

is vitally important. The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and Canadian Institute

of Chartered Accountants (CICA) have identified five basic principles important to

AIS reliability:

1. Security - Access to the system and its data is controlled and limited only to

those authorized.

2. Confidentiality - The protection of sensitive information from unauthorized

disclosure.
19 | P a g e

3. Privacy - The collection, use, and disclosure of personal information about

customers is done in an appropriate manner.

4. Processing integrity - The accurate, complete, and timely processing of data

done with proper authorization.

5. Availability - The system is available to meet operational and contractual

obligations.

Accounting information system specialist jobs are available in corporations,

accounting firms, consulting firms, non-profit organizations, and government agencies.

Objectives of the Accounting Information Systems

In every business organization, the effective and efficient flow of information

is of outmost importance. With the timely availability of information, an organization

can increase its chances of accomplishing its goals and objectives successfully.

An Accounting Information System or AIS is a system that facilitates the

collecting, processing and storing of financial and accounting information within an

organization to be used by decision makers. It has five main components namely

People, Procedures, Data, Software and IT Infrastructure. The components can be

processed manually, computerized or a combination of both. Furthermore, AIS aims to

provide adequate controls to safeguard the organization’s assets and ensure effective

and efficient operations.

Mile Inn is an organization that can greatly benefit from the implementation of

AIS. With the business’s large number of transactions and personnel, AIS will indeed
20 | P a g e

provide a more effective and efficient collection, processing and storage of

information.

This accounting information system aims to provide timely, accurate and reliable

information to the stakeholders of Mile Inn for decision making. Specifically, this AIS

aims realization of the following objectives:

(1) To facilitate the preparation of the company’s financial statements by preparing

the procedures for the Revenue, Expenditure, Investing, Financing and Payroll

Subsystems

(2) To establish internal control procedures for the company’s Revenue,

Expenditure, Investing, Financing and Payroll Subsystems

(3) To help management assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the company’s

Revenue, Expense and Investing Centers

(4) To design working forms, documents and system

(5) To establish a functional organizational chart applicable for the business

(6) To recommend an improved workflow of processes, documents and personnel

for operations

Financial statements are the main end products of any accounting system. A set

of financial statements presents the relevant data concerning the financial performance

and position of an entity. This information is used for decision making such as

assessing whether an entity is still a going concern or still profitable. This AIS will

help Mile Inn in an efficient preparation of its financial statements and reports. With

most of its transactions already automated in this AIS, the capturing of accounting data
21 | P a g e

is much faster and reliable. The recording and data storing is computerized thus

minimizing the company’s need to store voluminous documents and solve data

manually.

The company’s internal control will also improve with the creation of the AIS

system. Mile Inn is currently using a manual system for the generation of accounting

information. Furthermore, the model company for Mile Inn is fresh and new thus its

internal control, segregation of duties and responsibilities and its Organizational chart

is subject to changes and revision.

Mile Inn offers a wide variety of services such as accommodations, functions

and restaurant services. As such, it is only fitting to distinguish the following services

as different investment cycles for the management to assess the financial performance

of each center. The group have recommended in this AIS design that the revenue and

expenditure cycle for each investment center to observe responsibility accounting.

Henceforth, in order to apply the conceptual aspects of this system design, the

group designed documents and working forms essential to the effective capture of

accounting date in each transaction. The system interface is likewise prepared by the

group. Moreover, an improved organizational chart is created by the group considering

that the model company current Organization chart is limiting and too narrow for

effective and efficient operations.

It is vital for Mile Inn to implement an accounting system due to the beneficial

objectives an AIS aims to provide. It will indeed help in boosting the effectively and

efficiency of their operations through the availability of reliable and accurate

information.

SECTION 3 SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

Control Activities
52 | P a g e

The establishment of effective internal control facilitates reliable financial

reporting by ensuring that transactions are recorded and that all of the recorded

transactions are factual, properly valued, recorded in a timely manner, classified

properly, and summarized and posted accurately. Internal control objectives

correspond to different management assertions of authorization, accuracy, valuation,

completeness, classification, existence, timeliness, safeguarding of assets, and

segregation of duties and responsibilities.

A control environment sets the tone at the top in promoting high level of

integrity, ethical behaviour and as well as emphasis on information reliability and

accountability. In support, control activities represent the means to an end goal; the

fulfilment of its objectives achieving its mission and the realization of its vision.

Physical Controls

Transaction Authorization

● Personnel with approval authority review any relevant supporting

documentation and compare with recorded transactions for appropriateness,

accuracy and compliance with all applicable laws, policies, regulations, rules,

and standard operating procedures.

● Any unusual items are marked and questioned to ensure that all necessary

information is provided for justification prior to any approval.

● Transactions that are signed by a representative of the personnel with approval

authority are not processed.

Segregation of Duties
53 | P a g e

● Authorizations, record-keeping, and custody of assets are assigned to different

personnel.

to activities and monitored and reviewed.

Physical Security

● The “clear desk” policy to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information

and possible loss of or damage to sensitive information.

● Papers and electronic media containing sensitive information are locked in

drawers or cabinets when not in use, particularly during non-work hours.

● Employees use identification badge in places that needs authorization for

access.

● Compliance to physical security controls is periodically reviewed.

Accounting Records/Documentation

records activities done through the system and personnel performing these

activities.

● Processing activities are documented through transaction listings and error

listings.

Independent Verification/Reconciliation

● Reconciliation reports are signed both by the preparer and the reviewer.

● Reconciliation process and proper authorization sought are documented and

reviewed by someone other than the preparer.

Software Controls
54 | P a g e

The purpose is to ensure that risks inherent to the processing of all transactions

through the automated system are negated or limited.

General Control

Transaction Authorization

● Approvals made through the system are done by authorities that have their own

authentication code private and not known by someone else.

● Closed loop authorization is integrated into the system.

Segregation of Duties & Reconciliation

● Reconciliations and several postings are automatically done by the system to

facilitate segregation of duties among limited number of employees.

Logical Security

● A formal log-on procedure is initiated by the accessing party to which a user ID

and password must be entered into.

● Log-in requests are compared with the system’s database that has an access

control list integrated into its employee master file allowing employees to

access part of the system he/she is only authorized to have access to.

● In case of failed log-in attempt, notification is sent to the accessing party to re-

enter user ID and password without disclosing as to whether it was the user ID

or the password that caused the failure.


55 | P a g e

● Account lock-out policy and procedures include limited three failed log-in

attempts and formal account reactivation to be granted by the Human Resource

Division.

Information Technology Control

● Database files including logs are adequately and periodically backed up.

Flowchart

Basic Features

General Accounting Plan

System Software Plan

Software Implementation

Not all businesses in the industry follow the complexity of IT infrastructure.

Aside from the common focus on state-of-the-art technology present in terms facilities

provided for the customers, mostly still rely heavily on manual system in terms of its

data collection, and accounting information processing, reporting and maintenance.

However, with its fast-paced operation involving a couple of divisions more than the

other industry, the growth of the business is also determined by how its operation

adapts to this situation. To achieve efficiency in these operations, it is important for the

company to invest in an automated system that shall make use of the advent of

technology. Trying to identify a specialized vendor that can manufacture Turnkey

software to be used by the business would be difficult. In addition, having a system of

a business, that the priority is the development of its offers to the customer, fully

custom-built would be an imbalanced trade-off for the cost and benefit of efficiency in

processes.
58 | P a g e

Modified Packaged Software

Implementing the Modified Packaged Software Alternative, commercially

available software is purchased with basic processing of accounting information

system but is modified with several data capture schemes to match needs of the

business. This mixing and matching of pre-coded software assembles a close-to-

customized Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) without having the risk of

purchasing a commercially available ERP at a high cost and not being able to

maximize the use of its features and modules.

Essential Features of System Software

The accounting system software of the business follows an online and real-time

collection of data and automatic updates, reconciliations and validation checks. Once

information is encoded into the system, all interdepartmental and internal-external

exchanges of information are achieved through this automation. In addition, there is:

- High throughput for online transaction processing and queries;

- Rapid file access, protection from data loss, data retrieval;

- Accommodation of file growth;

- Online view and real-time update of summary reports;

Network Topology

The physical arrangement of the components of the network follows a

Hierarchical Topology where a host computer is connected to several levels of

subordinate but transaction processing follows the configuration procedure of that of a

Star Topology. Transactions are processed in a real-time manner but nodes transmit

information such as sales and inventory movement to the host computer in batches.
59 | P a g e

With this, the physical structure of the IT function shall be that of a distributed

data processing for subordinate components of the infrastructure but follows a

centralized one from the point of view of data processing from subordinate to the host

computer.

Database Management System

On the other hand, the abstract representation of entities, resources,

transactions and relationship with each other follows a combination of the three DBMS

conceptual models.

The collection and storage of information such as data found in the Customer

Account Master file and Employee Master Data and transactions such as

Accommodation, Functions & Events, or Restaurant Sales Transactions is managed

using the relational model. Primary keys that identify unique attribute of data are found

in a record of information. This supports the internal control design of the company

that uses unique transaction identifier for access and transaction processing.

The reconciliation of records and reports on the other hand follows the network

model of management system while validation checks as part of internal control

systems design is patterned with the hierarchical model of database management.

Back-up and Data Retrieval

Systems software makes use of the incremental back-up for control and

subsidiary master files with the use of Digital Audio Tape (DAT) drives. In this case,

the system produces back-up as changes are made. At the same time, this serves as a

data retrieval scheme wherein full back-up recovery is facilitated.


60 | P a g e

A back-up procedure for transaction files, register, listings, and logs through

the use of cloud back-ups that makes use of Internet as a storage service provider is

used.
61 | P a g e

SECTION 4 BOOK OF ACCOUNTS

Overview

Part of the information systems design of the business is the design for its accounting

records to aid the documentation of all economic events affecting its resources. Due to

the high automation nature of the systems design, there is a large elimination of most,

if not all, paper documents in performing this system need.

Books of Accounts are collection of all accounting records that are usually

seen, used, and produced in the accounting cycle. The source documents, journals,

ledgers, and reports in a manual system are replaced by different master files,

transaction files, registers, listings, and other files. The automation of these records

puts emphasis on the efficiency of data maintenance or storage. Furthermore, with the

ease of posting the automation provides, human errors usually happening due to

numerous postings on different accounting records are minimized.

Aside from the automated posting of transactions on paperless accounting

records, system-generated reports are also produced including listing and registers.

These documents are automatically created upon update of the different files. Inputs of

data into the system are the main manual procedure done and the rest are mostly

initiation, authorization, and manual verification in some cases.

Description

GENERAL LEDGER

The general ledger is the core of company's financial records. These constitute

the central "books" of the system, and every transaction flows through the general
62 | P a g e

ledger. These records remain as a permanent track of the history of all financial

transactions since day one of the life of the company. It is used in conjunction with the

Subsidiary Ledgers once recorded in the journals. The debit and credit effects of every

transaction are periodically transferred to the various accounts in the General Ledger.

Such postings to the General Ledger are done every end of the month that serves as a

basis for the preparation of the financial statements.

GENERAL JOURNAL

A journal is a book or page where accounting entries are made. Journals are

sometimes referred to as books of original entry. The chronological, day-today

transactions of a business are recorded in sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash

disbursements journals. A general journal is used to enter period end adjusting and

closing entries and other special transactions not entered in the other journals.

The General Journal is provided with columns for the date, description of the

accounts affected, posting reference and the amounts for the accounts debited and

credited.

A Subsidiary Ledger is a special ledger for a large number of accounts

SPECIAL JOURNALS

The Special Journals are preferably created for frequently occurring similar

transactions to lessen the effort and time spent on journalizing and posting. Special

Journals are commonly used for each of the following types of transactions: sales,

purchases, cash receipts, and cash disbursements.


63 | P a g e

a. Cash Receipts Journal

The subsequent collections of the loan as well as other transactions involving the

receipt of cash are recorded in this journal. In a financing operation, cash is received

from various sources such as investments by the owner, collection of Accounts

Receivable, Notes Receivable and Interests, advances from employees and refunds for

overpayments on accounts, expenses, and returns of prior cash purchases and other

assets.

b. Purchases Journal

Purchases Journal is the special journal used for recording supplies and other assets

bought on account. Purchases of other items of assets which are intended for use in the

operations are charged to appropriate asset accounts.

c. Cash Disbursement Journal

This special journal records subsequent payment on account as well as other

transactions involving the payment of cash. Cash is disbursed for various purposes

such as for loans to the client, settlement of accounts to creditors, expenses, refunds to

employees, personal use of the owner, etc.

REGISTERS

Check Register

The Check Register stores all types of transactions, including Checks,

Deposits, ATM Withdrawals, and Fees. Checks are issued on in payment of properly

approved vouchers. It provides a designation both payee and the voucher number as
64 | P a g e

well as convenient reference for cash payments since all issued checks arranged

numerically.

Fixed Assets Register

Fixed Assets Registers are lists of all major assets acquired by the client in a

transaction. It typically includes broad categories such as land, land improvements,

buildings, furniture and fixtures, machinery and equipment. Construction-in-progress,

inventory, etc. The register is updated to account for purchases or sale of fixed assets

and to reflect the book value of the company’s asset.

Payroll Register

The payroll register lists the employee's gross pay; deductions and net pay for a

particular pay period. The data included on the payroll register are the employee

number, employee name, regular pay, overtime pay, gross pay, deductions, et pay and

payroll periods.

Voucher Register

It records not only in support for each payment to be made for goods and

services purchased on account but also for all other transactions calling for payment by

check, including cash purchases, the retirement of debt, replenishment of petty cash

funds and payrolls. Charges on each voucher are classified and recorded in the

appropriate debit column and the amount to be paid is listed in a voucher payable

column.
65 | P a g e

SECTION 5 REVENUE SUBSYSTEM

Overview

The Revenue Cycle is composed of the transactions that increases the inflow of

economic benefits of a certain entity. Sales, billings, performance of services and

collection of payments are among the primary activities in the revenue cycle.

The Mile Inn Revenue Cycle generates revenue from three distinct segments:

Accommodations, Bar and Restaurant and Functions and Events. Accommodation

services includes room usage by guests. Revenue is derived from booking fees from

room rentals and additional amenities availed by the guests. The Accommodations

Division has a centralized systems that integrates the reservation process, billing

process and the payment process. Revenue from this division is recognized upon

Check in wherein a Guest Information Sheet (GIS) is created as evidence of

reservation and the guest’s remaining payable. The system is updated upon check in.

Post-check in charges are entered into the system through the Room Status Report and

Order Slip provided by the concerned departments.

Second, the company derives revenue from Bar and Restaurant Services. These

services are food and beverages services that are paid upon cash basis, thus updating

the system in real time. An Order Slip is created per customer and an Official Receipt

is issued upon receipt of payment.

Lastly, functions and events provide revenue to the company. Functions and

events involves the use of the hotel’s facilities as well as meal catering. They typically
66 | P a g e

involve a large number of customers and a large, material amount as revenue. Revenue

is recognized upon the confirmation of the event.

The receipt of cash from customers trigger the preparation of the official

receipt issued to the customer.


67 | P a g e

SECTION 8 FINANCING SUBSYSTEM

Overview

Financing subsystem shows how a company can raise capital for upcoming

projects through external activities, which include repaying investors, adding or

changing loans, or issuing more stock. These transactions or business events affect

long-term liabilities and equity. In other words, financing activities show how a

company funds its operations and expansions externally. Internal financing is not

included.

Mile Inn at present does not have any long term debt and is self-sufficient to

run its operations from its retained earnings. However, should the need arise; financing

subsystem is presented as reference for management.

Issuance of long-term loan is done through proper authorization from the

Finance Manager, General Manager and the Board of Directors. The payment of the

long term loan is governed by the specific negotiations with the bank concerned.

Payment to the bank is through electronic fund transfer as it appears to become bank

charges on the company’s account.

Since Mile Inn is a closed corporation, issuance of stock as part of the

financing cycle is not recommended.

Internal Control

1. Ensure source information gathered from the accounting and other

external departments is accurate.

Does your tax process ensure that raw data is referenced back to the trial

balance to ensure there are no material differences?

2. Ensure tax rates used for current and future tax calculations are correct.

Does your tax process ensure that rates used in calculations have been

checked to an external source such as a current version of Income Tax Act or

taxing authority website (domestic and foreign)?

3. Ensure the accuracy of the tax calculations.

How does you tax department keep abreast of any changes in domestic

and foreign tax legislation? Does your tax process ensure that calculations are

correct by re-calculating material numbers? Does your department restrict

access to spreadsheets used for calculations? Are changes made to spreadsheets

tracked and reviewed separately to ensure errors do not occur?

4. Ensure that tax contingencies are adequately supported.

Does your tax process ensure that every contingency item is supported

with a dollar amount, a related taxation year and the rationale for the

contingency? Does your company have to comply with FIN 48 requirements?


112 | P a g e

5. Ensure the book to actual (“BTA”) adjustment has been made.

Does your tax process ensure that two separate adjustments are recorded (i)

prior year’s tax provision estimate to tax return filed adjustment and (ii) prior

year’s tax return filed to the assessed amount? Furthermore have you

considered why there are significant differences (if any) and can the provision

process be improved to reduce these adjustments.

6. Ensure inputs for future tax balances are accurate and reasonable.

The decision of whether and where (short or long term) to record a future

tax asset/liability may be partially based on the company’s revenue forecast in

specific jurisdictions, financing plans, planned acquisitions and divestitures,

etc. Does your tax process ensure that tax is involved in these strategic

discussions and has the most current information?

7. Ensure that tax entries are properly authorized and posted correctly to

general ledger and tax accounts.

This has two parts as payments into and adjustments between tax accounts

(taxing authority accounts) should be properly authorized and reconciled on a

monthly basis to ensure balances correct for each legal entity and taxation year.

The second part is to ensure that the journal entries made to record the

payments, adjustments, accruals, and expense, etc are properly authorized and

the general ledger accounts reconcile to tax working papers.


113 | P a g e

8. Ensure that the income tax balances are recorded according to generally

accepted accounting principles.

Does your tax process ensure there is adequate documentation to support

that taxes are recorded correctly? How does the tax department keep abreast of

changes to accounting for its domestic and foreign companies? Have

accounting tax policies been approved by the chief financial officer and agreed

to by external auditors?

9. Ensure that all tax-related figures used for public dissemination have been

agreed.

Does your tax process ensure the tax department reviews and agrees all

other tax-related figures in the MD&A, annual report and annual information

return?

10. Ensure that a Tax Plan Implementation Review is performed.

Does your tax process ensure that tax plans implemented have been

appropriately authorized, implemented and measured?

SECTION 11 GENERAL LEDGER SUBSYSTEM

Overview

It is undeniable that the general ledger is the central core of the accounting

information system where all of the financial transactions of a business are categorized

and summarized into accounts. These accounts in the general ledger then proceed to

group similar transactions into individual records producing a continually updated

debit or credit each.

Of course in order to ensure true, fair and accurate financial reporting, the data

from this subsystem collected is based on financial transactions, stored in a database,

and processed with the applicable controls. However, unlike other subsystems, the

General Ledger Subsystem focuses mainly on communication and information

functions rather than operational ones. As a result this system is generally concerned

with the recording of business transactions, classification of the recorded transactions,

validating collected transactions, updating master files and preparing financial reports.

The Mile Inn General Ledger Subsystem centralizes the information stored in

the different master files and reconciles them to ensure the integrity of data. The

information is then summarized into different accounts and used in the financial

reporting process. Any adjustment or correcting entries to general ledger accounts are

applied during this cycle using approved procedures


118 | P a g e

Internal Control

Transaction Authorization

The journal voucher is the document that authorizes an entry to the general

ledger. With that said, journal vouchers have numerous sources such as the cash

receipts processing, sales order processing, and the financial reporting group. It is vital

to the integrity of the accounting records that the journal vouchers be properly

authorized by a responsible manager at the source department.

Segregation of Duties

The general ledger as a whole provides verification control for the accounting process.

In order to do this the task of updating the general ledger must be separate from all

accounting and asset custody responsibility within the organization. Therefore,

individuals with access authority to GL accounts should not:

a. Have record-keeping responsibility for special journals or subsidiary ledgers.

b. Prepare journal vouchers.

c. Have custody of physical assets.

However due to the fact that transactions are authorized, processed, and posted directly

to the general ledger. In order to compensate for this potential risk, the system should

provide end users and GL departments with detailed listings of journal vouchers and

account activity reports. These documents advise users of the automated actions taken

by the system so that errors and unusual events, which warrant investigation, can be

identified.
119 | P a g e

Access Controls

Unauthorized access to the GL accounts can result in errors, fraud, and

misrepresentations in financial statements. In order to remedy this, the company will

keep their manual files in metal cabinets with locks as well as outsource a number of

IT specialists to design a system that gives database access to authorized individuals

only. And later on when the system has been fully set up passwords given to

employees must be changed every quarter.

Accounting Records

In order for the company to have good internal control it must be able to keep track of

its accounting records and have an accurate audit trail. The audit trail is a record of the

path that a transaction takes through the input, processing, and output phases of

transaction processing. This involves a network of documents, journals, and ledgers

designed to ensure that a transaction can be accurately traced through the system from

initiation to final disposition. This is important data because the audit trail facilitates

error prevention and correction when the data files are conveniently and logically

organized. Also, the general ledger and other files that constitute the audit trail should

be detailed and rich enough to:

a. Provide the ability to answer inquiries.

b. Be able to reconstruct files if they are completely or partially destroyed.

c. Provide historical data required by auditors.

d. Fulfil government regulation


120 | P a g e

e. Provide a means for preventing, detecting and correcting errors.

5. Independent Verification

The general ledger functions as an independent verification step within

the accounting information system. In this case the FRS produces two operational

reports-the transaction summary report and the exception report-that provide proof of

the accuracy of this process. The transaction summary report presents the summarized

transactions found in the general ledger. While the exceptional report provides the

computer operation’s report about any anomalies and unresolved issues regarding

transactions found in the company’s database.

GENERAL LEDGER SUBSYSTEM POLICY

1. The company must outsource IT specialists at least four times a year to check

the security of the General Ledger System’s access control.

2. The Accounting Supervisor must both assess and review the general ledger and

reporting system before preparing the transaction summary with the exception report.

3. The transaction summary and the exception report must be signed by the

Accounting Supervisor before being sent to the Finance Manager.

4. The Finance Manager must review the transaction summary and the exception

report as well as produce a reviewed transaction summary and a reviewed exception

report before he or she can prepare the trial balance.


121 | P a g e

5. The General Ledger Subsystem must also aim to ensure logical and physical

security of data and existence of limitations and access controls.

6. Completeness and correctness of data entry records must be ensured by the

finance department.

7. All transactions and relevant activities are too documented.

8. The Finance Department must ensure that their practices align with the

company objectives as well as the laws and regulations imposed by the government.

SECTION 12 FINANCIAL REPORTING

Overview

Financial reporting is one of the bedrocks of modern business. It is essentially a

way of following standard practices to give an accurate depiction of a company’s

finances. It also summarizes the transactions that happened within the business cycle.

to various stakeholders including government regulatory agencies such as Securities

and Exchange Commission and Bureau of Internal Revenue. It follows the format and

policies prescribed by Philippine Financial Reporting Standards and other regulatory

bodies. It is governed by statutory and common law, and it should be done according

to ethical standards. 

Financial statements are collection of reports about an organization's financial

results, financial condition, and cash flows. Relevant financial information is presented

in a structured manner and in a form easy to understand.The company’s set of financial

statements consist of the Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Comprehensive

Income, Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and

the Notes to Financial Statements.

accounting wherein income and expenses are matched in the periods in which benefits

are incurred regardless of the timing of its cash flow.

company's share Capital, accumulated reserves and retained earnings over the

reporting period. It breaks down changes in the owners' interest in the organization,

and in the application of retained profit or surplus from one accounting period to the

next.
126 | P a g e

Statement of Cash Flows

The Statement of Cash Flows provides relevant information about cash receipts

and cash payments of an entity during a period. The cash receipts come from many

different revenue generating activities while the cash payments mostly relates to its

cost. Also, it summarizes the operating, investing and financing activities of an entity.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Notes to Financial Statements provide narrative description of items

presented in the financial statements and information about items that do not qualify

for recognition. It contains information in addition to that presented in the statement of

financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity

and statement of cash flows. It helps clarify or enhances the understability of the

SECTION 13 CHART OF ACCOUNTS

Overview

The Chart of Accounts is used to organize the finances of a company and to

segregate the expenditures, revenue, assets and of course, liabilities in order for

financial statements and managerial reports to make more sense. All in all, it provides

framework within which the accounting records of the company are constructed. It is a

list of general ledger accounts consisting of real (balance sheet) and nominal (income

statement) accounts which are summarized monthly and posted to the General Ledger

(GL) which are then consequently listed in the Trial Balance (TB) in preparation for

coming up with a Financial Statements (FS).

Elements of Financial Statements


133 | P a g e

Elements of financial statements relate to the status or measurement of

financial position and results of operation of each branch office which are relevant to

decisions that would require the commitment of resources. Those elements directly

related to the measurement of financial position as shown in the balance sheet are

assets, liabilities and equity. The elements directly related to the measurement of

performance which is shown in the statements of income and expenses are

revenue/income and expenses. The definitions of the different elements are as follows:

a. Assets - are economic resources controlled by the entity as a result of past

events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the

in advances but its economic benefit extends beyond the end of the accounting

period; and is measured in conformity with generally accepted accounting

principles.

b. Liabilities – are economic obligations of the enterprise arising from past events,

the settlement of which are expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise.

Liabilities also include certain deferred credits or income collected in advance

but considered unearned as of the end of the accounting period; and recognized

and measured in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles

c. Stockholder's Equity- the interest of the company which is the excess of its

assets over its liabilities.

d. Revenues- increase in economic benefits during the accounting period in the

form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result

in increases in stockholder's equity.


134 | P a g e

e. Expenses- decreases in economic benefits during an accounting period in the

form of outflow or depletions of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in

decrease in stockholder's equity.
