1. PRELIMINARY

A business may be split into so many parts and divisions. If the various parts are located under the same roof,
they are known as departments. If the activities are located at different places they are known as branches. A
word ‘Branch’ is interpreted as sub-division or subordinate place of business. Thus, branch has no separate legal
entity.
It is desirable to know the profit or loss of each branch, so that if any branch is not yielding the desired result,
appropriate steps can be taken. It is therefore necessary to maintain accounts in such a manner, so that the profit
or loss made at a branch can be easily ascertained.

3. DEPENDENT BRANCH
3.
1. Salient features: The following are the general salient features of a dependent branch. These branches
are usually goods selling branches.
i. Goods are normally received from the H.O. Branch is not usually authorised to purchase the goods
from the local market.
ii. Selling prices are usually fixed by H.O.
iii. Branch is allowed to sell goods on cash basis. However in exceptional circumstances branch may be
allowed to effect sales on credit terms.
iv. Periodical regular expenses viz. salaries, rent, telephone etc. are paid directly by H.O.
v. Branch has to remit cash sale proceeds and collection from debtors intact to H.O. In other words,
branch is not allowed to utilise the sale proceeds.
vi. Petty cash expenses are incurred by the branch, out of periodical remittance from H.O. This account
may be maintained on simple or imprest system.
vii. Branch does not record its transactions on double entry book-keeping system. Branch keeps records
on a memorandum basis. Branch is therefore dependent on H.O. even for ascertainment of profit.
2. Periodical Reports to H O.: The following usual accounting reports are periodically rendered by a branch
to H.O.
i. Statement showing ‘Goods received from H.O.
ii. Statement showing ‘Goods’ returned to H.O.
iii. Sales Report
iv. Petty cash abstract
v. Statement showing periodical remittance to H.O.
vi. Statement showing collection from debtors.
vii. Stock Statement
viii. Outstanding List of Sundry Debtors
On the basis of the figures from the above statements, Branch transactions are recorded in the books of
H.O.
3. Ascertainment of Profit:
i. Debtors System:
Under this system transactions between H.O. and Branch are only recorded.
Branch is treated as a debtors (Party) and therefore Branch account is debited for -
 Opening Assets
 Goods sent to Branch
 Payment of Branch expenses
 Remittances to Branch
 Closing liabilities / provisions
Branch account is credited for -
 Goods returned by Branch
 Remittance by Branch
10. 2

 Closing Assets
 Opening Liabilities
The difference in Branch A/c is a Profit or Loss.

NOTES:
1. Under this system petty cash expenses incurred by the branch are not directly accounted for.
However effect in the account is recorded for the same amount, as
Petty cash expenses = Opening Cash
Add: Remittance to Branch
Less: Closing Cash
2. Credit sales, Sales returns, Discount allowed, Bad debts etc. are not accounted directly. However,
effect in the account is recorded for the same amount.
3. If Branch is allowed to utilise collection proceeds for expenses, remittance from branch to H. O. to
that extent will be less and indirectly effect of expenses will be recorded.
4. Under this system, Gross Profit is not ascertained.
5. Some typical items –
The following items are to be ignored while preparing Branch Account under this method:
(i) Credit sales; Sales returns; Bad debts; Discount allowed; etc.,
(ii) Depreciation of fixed assets,
(iii) Petty cash expenses paid by the branch,
(iv) Shortage or surplus of stock, and
10. 4

(v) Profit or loss arising out of sale of a fixed asset.


The reasons are explained below:

(i) Credit sales and other related matters (such as, sales returns, bad debts, discount allowed,
etc.): The Branch Account is debited with the opening balance of debtors and credited with
cash received from debtors and closing balance of debtors. Credit sale, sales returns, bad debts,
discount allowed, etc., are related to Debtors Account. For calculating closing debtors balance
all these items have already been taken into consideration. Therefore, these items are to be
ignored for the preparation of Branch Account.
(ii) Depreciation on Fixed Assets: The Branch Account is debited with the opening balance of fixed
assets and credited with the closing balances of fixed assets after deducting depreciation.
Depreciation is automatically accounted for and it should not be shown in the Branch Account
separately.

(iii) Petty Cash Expenses paid by the Branch: The Branch Account is debited with the opening
balance of petty cash and the amount of petty cash sent by the head office and is credited with
the closing petty cash. For calculating closing petty cash, all expenses paid by the branch are
taken into consideration. Therefore, it should be ignored for preparation of Branch Account.
(iv) Shortage or Surplus of Stock: The Branch Account is debited with the opening balance of
branch stock and credited with its closing balance. At the time of calculating closing balance of
branch stock, shortage / surplus is taken into consideration. Therefore, it should be ignored
for preparation of Branch Account.
(v) Profit/Loss on Sale of a Fixed Asset: If an asset is sold for cash, the Branch Account is credited
with the remittances. If it is sold on credit, the Branch Account will be credited with the Debtor
for sale of asset. The profit / loss on sale of asset is already included in the remittance/debtors
figure. Therefore, at the time of preparing Branch Account, profit / loss on sale of asset should
not be shown separately.
(vi) Purchases by Branch: The Branch Account is debited with the amount of remittance from head
office. Therefore, any direct purchase by branch should not be shown separately in the Branch
Account.

ii. Stock and Debtors System:


This method can be effectively used for controlling branch stocks, when the goods are invoiced to
the branch at selling price, which branch is not authorised to vary. In addition to the accounts
relating to branch assets, the following accounts are maintained under this system:
a. Branch Stock A/c. (at Invoice Price)
b. Branch Debtors A/c.
c. Branch Stock Adjustment A/c. Or Branch Adjustment A/c. (Loading A/c.)
d. Branch Expenses A/c.
e. Branch Profit and Loss A/c.
This method can also be used when goods are invoiced to the branch at cost price or inflated cost
price.

Notes:
1. Abbreviations: IP = Invoice Price, CP = Cost Price SP = Selling Price
2. Under this system, entry for closing stock is not required as Branch Stock A/c reflects a balance
equivalent to stock at the end at IP. Similarly, balance in Branch Adjustment A/c is to be
maintained equivalent to loading on closing stock.
3. If the cash sales proceeds and collection from debtors are not remitted intact to H. O. it is
necessary to open "Branch Cash A/c".
4. If the goods are sold at higher price than IP, it is necessary to transfer extra loading to Branch
Adjustment A/c. (Extra loading = Selling Price - Invoice Price).
5. Some Typical items –
Normal loss: No treatment is required even if it is given specifically in the examination
problem. However, for calculating Branch Closing Stock (when it is not given) normal loss is
credited to Branch Stock Account at invoice price. Normal Loss Account is closed by debiting
to Branch Adjustment Account.
Pilferage/Theft: In retail trade, pilferage or shoplifting is very common and this has come to
be regarded as a normal business loss. The loading of such goods is charged to Branch
Adjustment Account and cost is charged to Branch Profit and Loss Account.
Shortage in stock: Shortage in stock may be due to spoilage, leakage, sales in small quantity,
etc. Loading on shortage in stock should be charged to Branch Adjustment Account and cost
of such goods should be charged to Branch Profit and Loss Account.
Surplus in stock: Loading on surplus in stock is credited to Branch Adjustment Account and
cost of such goods is credited to Branch Profit and Loss Account.
Loss by fire/loss-in-transit: Loading on goods lost by fire/in-transit should be charged to
Branch Adjustment Account and the cost of such goods should be charged to General Profit
and Loss Account.
The students should note that the branch profit should not be affected by the abnormal items.
Some authors prefer to charge the cost of the goods lost by fire to Branch Profit and Loss
Account. But, in our opinion, this practice should not be encouraged because heavy loss due to
fire by converting branch profit into branch loss may mislead the management at the time of
decision-making.
Inter-branch transfer of goods: Sometimes goods may be transferred by one branch to
another branch. At the time of making entry for transferring branch, it should be treated as a
transfer to head office (though the goods is actually transferred to a particular branch).
Similarly, for receiving branch it will be treated as received from head office.
For the transferring branch, the entry will be:
Goods Sent to Branch Account Dr. [Invoice Price]
To Branch Stock Account
10. 7

For the receiving branch, the entry will be:


Branch Stock Account Dr. [Invoice Price]
To Goods Sent to Branch Account

6. Sale of Goods Above / Below Invoice Price: Sometimes goods may be sold by the branch
below or above the invoice price as a matter of policy, for example, cash sales at invoice price
but credit sales at 10% above invoice price. In such a situation, the Branch Stock Account does
not balance. For adjusting excess/short amount realised over the invoice price, the following
entries are passed:
(i) When goods are sold above invoice price
Branch Stock Account Dr. [Difference between actual selling price
To Branch Adjustment Account and invoice price]
(ii) When goods are sold below invoice price
Branch Adjustment Account Dr. [Difference between invoice price and
To Branch Stock Account actual selling price]

4. DISTINCTION BETWEEN WHOLESALE AND RETAIL PROFIT OF A BRANCH


4.

The methods dealt with makes no distinction between profit due to retailing and due to wholesaling. Even though
there would have been no branch, H. O. would have earned wholesale profit by selling the goods through
wholesaler. The real profit earned by the branch is therefore a retail profit.
Thus total profit may be segregated into -
i. Wholesale profit (Wholesale price - Cost Price)
ii. Retail profit (Retail price - Wholesale price)
For knowing the true profit, at retail branches, the practice adopted sometimes is to charge the branch with
wholesale price and then ascertain the branch profit. H.O. Trading A/c in this case is credited with wholesale
price. It must be remembered that the closing stock at the Branch will be valued at wholesale price. Therefore,
the Head Office must create a proper reserve for unrealised profit by debiting its own Profit and Loss
Account to show branch stock at cost in the Balance Sheet.
The students should note the following important points:
1. Branch Trading Account is debited with the opening stock (if any) at invoice price (wholesale price).
2. Branch Trading Account is also debited with goods sent to branch (net) at invoice price (wholesale price).
3. Branch Trading Account is credited with the retail price of goods sold.
4. Branch Trading Account is also credited with c1osin£ stock at branch at invoice price (wholesale price)
5. The Head Office Trading Account will be debited by opening stock (if any, at cost), goods purchased etc.,
and will be credited by direct sales (generally at wholesale price) and goods sent to branch (net) at invoice
prices (wholesale price). The closing stock (at cost) of head office is also credited to Head Office Trading
Account.
6. If there is any closing stock lying at branch, a Stock Reserve Account is opened by debiting Profit and Loss
Account (head office) and crediting Stock Reserve Account. The amount of stock reserve is the difference
between wholesale price and cost price of head office.
7. If there is any opening stock lying at branch, Stock Reserve Account is debited and head office profit and
loss is credited with the loading (i.e. wholesale price of opening less cost price of such goods).

5. INDEPENDENT BRANCH
5.
i. Salient features:
a. In addition to supply of goods from Head Office, Branch is authorised to purchase goods in the local
market at competitive rates.
b. Goods are sold on cash as well as on credit terms
c. Branch is authorised to vary selling price in accordance with the guidelines issued by Head Office.
d. Branch need not has to depend on H. O. for payment of expenses Branch makes payment out of its
own resources.
e. Branch need not remit the proceeds intact to H. O. surplus funds with the branch are periodically
transferred to H. O. and remittances may also be received from H. O. as and when required.
f. Branch maintains accounts on double entry book keeping principles in separate set of books of
10. 10

account. Branch extracts its trial balance and prepare Trading and Profit and Loss Account. The H.
O. consolidate the branch accounts for preparing Trading and Profit and Loss Account and Balance
Sheet of a concern as whole.

ii. Reconciliation of Head Office Account and Branch Account: The H. O. maintains in its books ‘Branch
Account’ and similarly Branch maintains in its books H. O. Account. The account is maintained more or less
like other personal account and therefore balance in Branch A/c shows how much money the H. O. has
invested at the branch.
The following are the usual transactions entered into in between H. O. and Branch -
1. Goods sent by H. O. to Branch
2. Goods returned by Branch to H. O.
3. Remittance by H. O. to Branch
4. Remittance by Branch to H. O.
5. Expenses incurred by H. O. on behalf of branch
6. Expenses incurred by Branch on behalf of H. O.
As all the above transactions are entered in the books of H. O. as well as Branch, balance in ‘Branch Account’
as reflected by H. O. books and balance in H. O. Account as reflected by Branch books must tally with each
other with opposite side balance.
The following special points may be noted -
a. Accounting of Fixed Assets: Usually Fixed Asset accounts of the branch are kept in the H.O. books.
In this case following entries are passed:
Sr.No. Transaction H. O. Books Branch Books
1. Purchase of fixed assets by Branch Fixed Asset A/c....Dr. No entry
H.O. To Bank A/c.
By Branch Branch Fixed Asset A/c....Dr. H.O. A/c..... Dr.
To Branch A/c. To Bank A/c.
2. Depreciation on Fixed Branch A/c........ Dr. Depreciation A/c ...Dr.
Assets To Branch Fixed Assets A/c. To H.O. A/c.
Note: No special accounting treatment is necessary if fixed asset accounts are maintained by the
branch itself. In this case HO makes remittance for expenditure and Branch purchases Assets out of
money received.

b. Common Expenses: H.O. always incurs common expenses for branches or does some work on
behalf of branch and it is therefore usual to charge the branch for services rendered.
Accounting Entries:
H.O. Books:
1. Respective Expenses A/c / Common Expenses A/c. ....... Dr.

2. Sharing of Expenses:

Branch Books:

c. Reconciliation of Transit Items: Normally the balance shown in branch Account (H.O. Books) and
10.11

in H.O. Account (Branch books) should be the same. One will be debit and other will be credit. But
on a particular date there may be difference in the balances shown by the two accounts on account
of -
i. Remittance in transit

ii. Goods in transit
On the date of closing of the accounts the items in transit have to be brought into books. Adjustment
entry therefore is necessary either in the books of H.O. or in the books of branch.
H. O. Books: Goods in Transit/Cash in Transit A/c ........Dr.

d. Inter-branch transactions: Inter Branch transaction are usually routed through H.O. The
transactions are recorded on usual basis.

NOTE:
1. After transfer / incorporation of profit, assets and liabilities, balance in ‘Branch A/c.’ (H.O. Books)
and balance in H. O. A/c. (Branch books) must be nil.
2. Alternatively H.O. may prepare Trading and Profit and Loss Account of the branch by incorporating-
i. Trading A/c. debit side items
ii. Trading A/c. credit side items
iii. Profit and Loss A/c. debit side items
iv. Profit and Loss A/c. credit side items
10. 12

Asset and liabilities accounts are also incorporated in the books of H.O.
3. At the beginning of the next year branch asset and liabilities accounts are transferred back by H.O.
to branch.

6. FOREIGN BRANCH (FOREIGN OPERATIONS)

The accounting in respect of Foreign Branch is distinct due to the fact that the financial information in respect of
the Foreign Branch is in Foreign Currency i.e. Currency other than the Reporting Currency. All this financial
information in the foreign currency has to be first converted in Reporting Currency i.e. the currency used
inpresenting the Financial Statements. The problem faced while converting is that the rate to be applied while
conversion of Foreign Currency into Reporting Currency as the Exchange Rates are constantly changing.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has given the detailed guidelines in this regard by issuing
the Accounting Standard (AS) 11 (Revised 2003) titled as ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’.
The guidelines given in this Standard is to be used for the translating the financial statements of foreign
operations.
The AS has divided the Foreign Branches (referred to as Foreign Operations) into two types, namely:
i. Integral Foreign Operations: This is defined as the Foreign Operation the activities of which are integral
part of those of the Reporting Enterprise.
ii. Non Integral Foreign Operation: This is defined as the Foreign Operation that is not an Integral Foreign
Operation.

Following are some of the relevant definitions in AS 11:


 Monetary items: are money held and Assets and Liabilities to be received or paid in fixed or determinable
amount of money.
 Non Monetary items: are Assets and Liabilities other than Monetary items.
 Exchange Rate: is the ratio for exchange of two currencies.

The following is the procedure to be applied for conversion:


a. Recognition of Exchange Differences:
Integral Operations Non Integral Operations
The Exchange rate differences on settlement of The Exchange rate differences on monetary items
monetary items be recognised as income or be accumulated in Foreign Currency Translation
expense in the period in which they arise. Reserve in enterprise’s financial statements. On
disposal of net investment income or expense
should be recognised in year of disposal. The
difference is not recognised as income or expense
of the period because changes in Exchange Rates
have little or no direct effect on present and
future cash flows of the reporting enterprise.

b. Exchange Rates applicable for conversion on Balance Sheet Date:


Integral Operations Non Integral Operations
Foreign Currency Monetary items should be Assets and Liabilities, both Monetary and Non-
converted using the Closing Rate Monetary, be converted at Closing Rate.

recognised as income or expense in the same
period in which gain or loss on disposal is
recognised.

d. Change in classification of Foreign Branch / Operation: On the principle of Consistency, once


classification is made it should be continued on same basis. However, if there is a change in classification
of Foreign Operation, the translation procedures applicable to the revised classification should be applied
from date of change in the classification. Thus any change in classification is to be made with
prospective effect.
Hence if an Integral Operation is reclassified as Non Integral Operation, exchange rate differences arising
on conversion of non-monetary assets at the date of reclassification are accumulated in Foreign Currency
Translation Reserve.
On the other hand when Non Integral Operation is reclassified as an Integral Operation, the translated
amount for non-monetary items at the date of change are treated as historical cost for those items in the
period of change and subsequent periods. Exchange differences which have been deferred are not
recognised as income or expense untill the disposal of the operation.
