INTRODUCTION

1. Rationale
In this modern economic world with many newly established
enterprises that follow a more competitive economic environment, every
company must be flexible and active in their businesses, make as many profits
as possible; else they will fall into bankruptcy. To gain profits, they must
realize the importance of revenue and expenses, then determine the
profitability of the company, besides, the very first objective of every
enterprise is making a profit, so calculating business results is very important
in both forms of accuracy and timeliness. It’s the reason why efficient and
effective accounting management for revenues, expenses and determine
business results plays an important role in the accounting system. SK GOLF
company limited is a company that provides indoor golf practice (screen
golf). This field is new in Vietnam with less competition. It is now one of the
leading companies in this field. Therefore, maintaining its current position
and being the market leader is more important than ever. From this situation,
SK GOLF company limited must have a flexible and effective activities
policy with a well-performed accounting system for revenues, expenses and
business results. So I chose “Accounting for revenues, expenses and
determine business results in SK GOLF company limited” as my graduation
thesis topic.

CHAPTER I: LITERATURE REVIEW OF ACCOUNTING FOR

1.1. Overview
1.1.1. Definition
Sales are the transfer of the goods usage right attached to the decision-
making power from the seller to the buyer. In addition, sales are recognized
when the customer makes payment or agrees to pay.

Service provision means the transfer of the right to use the service to
customers and at the same time, it is paid or accepted by customers.

Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits during the period


arising from the course of the ordinary activities of an entity when those
inflows result in increases in equity, other than increases relating to
contributions from equity participants.

Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting


period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets or incurrences of
liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to
distributions to equity participants.

Business result is the final result of normal activities and other


activities during the accounting period. Business results in a certain period
may be profit or loss. In case of loss, the business result will be compensated
as regulated and decided by responsible authorities. In the case of profit, the
business result will be allocated as regulated by the financial regime.

revenue and expenses incurred during the period while helping administrators
have an accurate view of the current situation of the business and make
decisions future. Therefore, accounting requirements in an enterprise must
correctly identify and reflect the business results of its business during the

In order to manage business activities in general as well as revenues,


expenses and business results in particular, there are many different tools in
accounting that are effective tools. In order for the accounting tool to fully
utilize its effectiveness, it requires enterprises to constantly improve more

1.3. Methods of sales, services provision and payments


1.3.1. Methods of sales

following modes are usually available:

- Mode of wholesale trading via warehouses: means a method of wholesale


goods in which goods must be exported from the enterprises' preservation
warehouses.

wholesaling goods in which goods sold when purchased from suppliers do not
bring into the enterprise's warehouse but are immediately sold or sold
immediately to customers.

delivers goods to an agent or consignee to sell goods directly to such

owned by the commercial enterprise until the agent pays the sale or accepts
the payment before the sale is completed.

collection service.

apparatus.

In general, when organizing accounting work by machine, accountants


need to understand the following factors:

work for any enterprise using accounting ledgers such as accounting
vouchers, public diary or ledger diary. Therefore, businesses can base on the
actual conditions of the size and qualifications of employees to decide which
accounting software to use and the appropriate form of accounting books.

must be set up for the whole enterprise.

original documents, inputting data when ending document rotation process,
when importing data into a spreadsheet ...). Any input by any method must be
set up for the database - which contains all accounting information of the
enterprise.

- When the database is available, the accessibility of all types of application


software is very positive. The accounting reports such as lists, ledger
vouchers, ledgers, detailed books, import and export, debt summary tables are
relatively easy to access. Especially some financial statements and

and coordination of work among the various accounting departments as well
as among ministries. Other relevant departments in the business.

to encode, declare and install the relevant objects to ensure a close connection
between information flows.

classification of objects to be managed. Encryption allows easy identification
and search of objects when calling codes.

Determining the object to be coded is entirely dependent on the


requirements of enterprise administration. Typically, the following objects
should be encoded in the sales accounting and determine the sales results:
customers, goods, vouchers, accounts ... This coding is done through lists.

accounting information is reflected via accounts. Therefore, the construction

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 64


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

exploit subsequent information, especially in processing accounting data on
the machine.

By systematic declaration and coding, together with the design of states


and connections (which may be a numerical, character, or a combination of
both, depending on the characteristics of the organization's accounting
work). ), the sales account may declare additional sub-accounts through the
following ways:

Approve account numbers and related accounts according to the list of


accounts prescribed by the State to declare corresponding identification codes
depending on the management requirements of enterprises together with
declaration and interpretation. Specifically.

handling of documents on a computer system need to be carried out and
strictly comply with the process of document rotation, update, and processing.
Enterprise regulations.

For management, each original document carries an identifying code.


With voucher codes, it is possible to filter and print detailed lists and general
tables for each type of voucher.

- List of customers

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 65


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

This list is used to track details for each department and accounts
receivable of each customer. Each customer is identified by a code called a
customer code. Depending on the size and scope of transactions that
determine the encryption method accordingly and effectively.

Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

For goods into the warehouse

When goods are brought to the warehouse’s gate, the storekeeper will
check the quantity, quality and value of goods based on VAT invoices and
related documents. After that, the statistician will prepare and sign in the
goods receipt note. This voucher is printed in two copies: The first one is to
save in the warehouse, and the other is sent to accounting department.

For goods out of stock

In the case of goods for sales, only after VAT invoice, sales contract
and related appendixes are checked by the storekeeper, will goods be brought
out of stock. In the case of goods for internal use, a warehouse officer will
issue an internal bill. Goods for internal use will be calculated according to
specific identification method. This case is very rare.

 Step 2: Preparing General ledger of COGs

In this General ledger, the warehouse officer will calculate the book
ending balance based on the beginning balance and the number of goods
purchased during the month. This task is done at the end of each month by the
warehouse officer.

Other expenses incurred at the company include payments for the
company's catering services, which are not eligible for deduction when
calculating corporate income tax. In November 2019, SK GOLF Co., Ltd. do
not generate any other expenses.

2.2.6. Accounting for corporate income tax


Current corporate income tax expense is the income tax amount an
enterprise must pay to the state after determining the taxable income
generated in the period. SK GOLF Co., Ltd determines the following
corporate income tax:

Payable CIT = Taxable income x 20%

Corporate income tax expense is recognized in Account 821: "Current


corporate income tax", which is the amount of corporate income tax payable
based on the taxable income of the year and the current corporate income tax
rate onions (20%).

The company has just been established since 2017. In the early years of
establishment, company has to spend a large amount of money to complete
equipment, technical facilities and infrastructure, leading to increased costs,
thereby making the profit for the business negative so the enterprise does not
have to pay corporate tax.

2.2.7. Accounting for determine business results

2.3. Evaluation of accounting for sales and business results in SK GOLF


company limited
2.3.1. Strong points
2.3.1.1. About applying accounting regime
Accounting for revenues, expenses and determine business results has
ensured consistency in terms of scope and method of calculation, some
economic standards between the accounting department and other related

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 106


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

departments and divisions. Almost incurred selling and administration


expenses are totally collected and displayed in the income statement and notes
to financial statements. This helps point out mistakes in determining net sales
and net income for the company. All transactions are recorded completely,
timely and matched with accounting requirements. Periodic accounting
system is applied, which saves a lot of time and effort for accountants.

2.3.1.2. About accounting entries


All original vouchers issued by SK GOLF company limited are suitable
with Ministry of Finance’s decisions as well as managerial needs. Invoices
and vouchers are issued only after collecting enough documents and meeting
all sales recognitions. Invoices and vouchers are arranged and stored
chronologically, which facilitates future examination and uses. Reports
related to providing services status, selling expenses and administration
expenses are prepared weekly, therefore it’s easier for managers to review and
consolidate.

2.3.1.3. About using accounts


SK GOLF company limited is now using the chart of accounts stated in
circular No. 200/2014/TT-BTC by Ministry of Finance. Besides, the company
also issues some sub-accounts for easier check-up, recording and reviewing.

2.3.1.4. About accounting books


The company uses the accounting form of General Journal. This form
is suitable for a computerized accounting system rather than the manual one.
Therefore, applying an appropriate accounting system has contributed to
productivity increase. Each of the five persons in the accounting department
is responsible for different accounts and books. This task allocation helps to

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 107


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

increase the consistency in recording books and facilitate the examination and
comparison at the end of the fiscal years. Sales reports are formed weekly by
subject and by model, which helps managers to catch the status of the
providing service. In addition, SK GOLF company limited doesn’t apply
any sales deductions, which makes the accounting entries for sales easier,
simpler and minimizes the possible mistakes. Thanks to that, managers can
easily realize the present status and predict the future consumption level, and
then draw sound decisions.

2.3.1.5. About financial reports


All financial statements used in SK GOLF Co., LTd have the same
form stated by Ministry of Finance. These forms are clear, logical and easy-
to-follow.

2.3.2. Weaknesses
Every coin has two sides. Despite changes to meet the managerial
requirements and changes by Ministry of Finance, SK GOLF Co., Ltd also
has some weaknesses. Now, after carefully studying the accounting system
for sales and services, I can point out some weaknesses as follows.

2.3.2.1. Accounting software


SK GOLF Co., Ltd is using General Journal with Misa accounting
software old version which is not updated until now. Therefore, it has the
following weaknesses.

When extracting sales accounts account receivables 131 to excel files,


they only displayed the customer column in code, not the full names. It will
be a problem if someone reads the sales report without knowing the full
names of customers. Moreover, this makes it more difficult to manage

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 108


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

account details 131 because they do not know which debts are due and which
are overdue, causing enterprises to be appropriated capital.

Old software also makes data processing slow and often error-prone.

2.3.2.2. About applying accounting regime


Although the periodic accounting system saves a lot of time and effort,
this requires a manual check-up at the end of the fiscal year. It is widely
known that there are a lot of stuff things for accountants to complete at the
end of the fiscal year such as preparing financial statements, printing ledgers,
rearrange files… Therefore, if not effectively prioritizing their to-do lists,
accountants could not submit financial statements timely.

2.3.2.3. About accounting accounts


For account 641 – Selling expenses and 642 – Administration expenses,
there are no sub-account.

This leads to more complicated checks, the costs are not classified in detail.
Therefore, managers do not know what kind of expenses account for a large
proportion, making it difficult for management accounting.

2.3.2.4. About revenue deduction


SK GOLF Co., Ltd has no sales deduction such as trade discount, sales
return or sales allowances. Therefore, sales deduction accounts are not in use.

This is a weakness of the business because if you take advantage of


revenue deduction, especially the trade discount will stimulate consumption
to gain greater benefits from having more sales invoices with revenue amount
more bigger than the discount amount.

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 109


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

2.3.2.5. About prepare accounting reports


SK GOLF Co., Ltd applies the inventory costing method of specific
identification. After calculating the cost of goods sold the assigned accountant
immediately books the cost of goods sold into account 632. In this step, there
will exist some mistakes if the accountant books the wrong data.

Every month, the assigned accountant has to prepare report of selling


and administration expenses in detail according to managerial requirements.
However, if two reports are prepared separately, it will be useless when the
managers want to compare selling and administration expenses.

CHAPTER III: SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE


EFFICIENCY OF ORGANIZING ACCOUNTING IN THE COMPANY

3.2. Importance and requirements for improving the accounting system


for sales and business result
3.2.1. Importance
When Vietnam joined WTO and changed to a market-oriented
economy, most companies are required to pay more attention to their

accounting information is very important for their existence. For these
reasons, it is necessary to enhance and develop an effective accounting
system for revenues, expenses and business results. Besides, the more
complicated business activities are, the more complex accounting entries are.
So, the possible accounting system must be changed flexibly, in both form
and content to adapt to changes.

3.2.2. Requirements
In enhancing accounting for revenues, expenses and determine business
results, the company must comply with following requirements:

- Ensuring to follow regulations and laws on accounting issued by Ministry of


Finance;

requirements;

3.2.3. Orientation
3.2.3.1. About initial accounting
Initial accounting is the process of recording, booking all economic
transactions into accounting vouchers, which are the base for accumulation
and conclusion. Initial accounting is helpful only when fulfilling all such
steps as determining what voucher is needed, how many vouchers will be
formed, who is responsible for the vouchers, steps of transferring these
vouchers.

3.2.3.2. About chart of accounts


The current chart of accounts used in most Vietnamese enterprises is
announced by the Ministry of Finance. It contains 9 groups of on – balance
sheet accounts and 7 off-balance-sheet accounts. The reflected content,
structure and recording methods in these accounts are decided by the Ministry
of Finance in advance, which every enterprise must compile with.

However, the arrangement and usage of this chart of accounts are up to


the enterprises. Therefore, there will be some mistakes if the enterprise has
applied in the wrong way or opened unnecessary sub-accounts or had no
management on the chart usage.

3.2.3.3. About accounting books


In order to reflect the consumption status, some accounting books must
be issued monthly, quarterly and yearly. What books will be issued is
dependent on the accounting form applied in the enterprise. Recording,
accumulating and systemizing accounting information to form financial
reports is the biggest phase in financial accounting with a huge number of
tasks to do. This phase needs the assigned accountants to be very good at

booking. Therefore, the application of a system of accounting books


compatible with production scope and characteristics as well as the
enterprise’s managerial level will promote accounting productivity, provide
enough and helpful information for decision-making processes.

3.2.3.4. About accounting reports


Every company must prepare financial reports in order to consolidate
and display accounting information in an effective and easy-to-read way. For
providing services activities, the final result is shown in the income statement
including revenues and expenses. In accordance with the accounting
department and managerial requirements, financial reports will be prepared
monthly or annually. In conclusion, how to enhance the accounting system for
revenues, expenses and business results depends on the accounting
department’s performance, the enterprise’s requirements, the regulated
accounting decisions by Ministry of Finance and the changes in the whole
economy and its markets.

3.3. Some suggestions for improving the accounting system for sales and
business result in SK GOLF company limited
3.3.1. Accounting software
Nowadays, there are many companies updating accounting software.
SK GOLF Co., Ltd is using General Journal with Misa accounting software
old version which is not updated until now. Therefore, it has some following
weaknesses.
When extracting sales accounts account receivables 131 to excel files,
they only displayed the customer column in code, not the full names. And the
old version makes data processing slow and often error-prone.

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 114


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

Therefore, it is necessary to update to a newer version to have better


and faster accounting tools as well as more convenient management of
accounting accounts.

3.3.2. About applying accounting regime


Although the periodic accounting system saves a lot of time and effort,
this requires a manual check-up at the end of the fiscal year. With a huge
number of business activities, accountants are always busy, especially at the
end of each month and at the end of the fiscal year. In addition, the
accounting department has only 3 persons in which one – chief accountant is
responsible for examining, checking accounting entries and preparing
required reports, and two others are responsible for different tasks. There is
only one accountant in charge of sales and business results. She has a huge
number of tasks to do. Therefore, it is very important to allocate tasks more
effectively to accountants. There are two ways to solve this problem: First is
to recruit a new accountant to share some tasks with her. Second is to let
another accountant in the department help her at the end of each month in
preparing accounting reports.

3.3.3. About accounting accounts


Opening the third-level accounts. For account 641 – Selling expenses
and 642 – Administration expenses, there are no sub-account. Therefore, I
think it would be better if there are other sub accounts, it will help the
accounting become faster and more accurate.

For account 641, for example


Account English name Vietnamese name
No.
641 Selling expenses Chi phí bán hàng
6411 Payroll expenses Chi phí nhân viên bán hàng
6413 Costs of tools, supplies Chi phí dụng cụ, đồ dùng
6414 Depreciation cost of Fixed assets Chi phí khấu hao TSCĐ
6415 Costs of warranty Chi phí bảo hành
6417 Costs of outsourcing service Chi phí dịch vụ mua ngoài
6418 Other cash expenses Chi phí bằng tiền khác
For account 642, for example

642 Administration expenses Chi phí quản lý doanh nghiệp
6421 Expenses of administrative staffs Chi phí nhân viên quản lý
6423 Expenses of office requisites Chi phí đồ dung văn phòng
6424 Depreciation cost of Fixed assets Chi phí khấu hao TSCĐ
6425 Tax, duties, fees Chi phí thuế, phí và lệ phí
6426 Provisions Chi phí dự phòng
6427 Costs of outsourcing service Chi phí dịch vụ mua ngoài
6428 Other cash expenses Chi phí bằng tiền khác
3.3.4. Improving the revenue deduction account
SK GOLF Co., Ltd has no sales deduction such as trade discount, sales
return or sales allowances. Therefore, sales deduction accounts are not in use.
There are two ways to solve this problem: First is to delete these accounts.
Second is to apply sales deduction. There are two reasons why this way is

Bui Quang Hung- CQ54/21.10 Page 116


Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

much better. The first reason is that the enterprise doesn’t need to alert the
Ministry of Finance about their deleting these accounts, which follows a lot of
complicated administrative procedures. The last but not least reason is that
sales deduction is one useful way that helps the enterprise promote its
providing services activities and increase the gross profit.

In my opinion, the company should use trade discounts to stimulate


consumption and as analyzed earlier, its benefits are huge. Trade discounts
should be applied to customers with large golf hours, 2 hours or more with a
1-5% discount percentage.

3.3.5. Improving the preparation of accounting reports


3.3.5.1. Report of cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold is one of very important criteria in distribution
phase and determining the net profit. SK GOLF Co., Ltd applies the inventory
costing method of specific identification. After calculating the cost of goods
sold the assigned accountant immediately books the cost of goods sold into
account 632. In this step, there will exist some mistakes if the accountant
books the wrong data. Therefore, to avoid mistakes and to have evidence for
future review, the accountant must prepare the report of cost of goods sold
every month.

Academy of Finance Graduation thesis

3.3.5.2. Report of selling and administration expenses


Every month, the assigned accountant has to prepare report of selling
and administration expenses in detail according to managerial requirements.
However, if two reports are prepared separately, it will be useless when the
managers want to compare selling and administration expenses because the
two accounts have the same sub-accounts.
I can propose a sample of report of selling and administration expenses
as follows.
SK GOLF Co., Ltd
Address: B1 Floor, Unit B1.5A, Golden Palace Building, Me Tri Ward, Nam
Tu Liem District, Hanoi City
