 INTRODUCTION :-

In the present day, accountants no longer record every transaction of a company

orany corporate body with the help of pen and pencils using a ledger book. After the birth of
computers and the emergence of digitalization in most professional sectors in India, accounting
is also computerized.

For the past few decades, computerized data has been used mainly in the field of

science and technology. However, as the years go by, computerized accounting systems are also
becoming quite common.

Several accounting firms still perform book-keeping manually, while most firms

comprise financial transactions that can be a lot for a manual accounting process. Moreover, the
complicated financial transactions of a firm are quite difficult to be recorded manually. That led
to the introduction of the concept of computerized accounting systems.

Before you learn the meaning of computerized accounting, it is important to know

about the various factors to consider before using such a system.

Chartered Accountancy belongs to the non-technical field. It is a profession that


has become a pioneer in India because of the significantly increased need for accounting and
realistic visibility. Taxation, corporate finance, assessment of projects, corporation and enterprise
regulation, auditing, accounting practises are all fields included in this profession.

Compared with other programmes, the extent of cost in this professional training is not at all
expensive. In this course, the only commitment factor is time: it takes just 4 years from the
beginning to the end. The kinds of roles that the chartered accounts usually execute are very
distinct. Some of the following functions are listed:

SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR Page 5

Accountancy:- Writing of reports and financial documents of smaller club receipts. Also
preparing the complicated and comprehensive accounts of major public limited corporations.

Auditing:- Auditing helps to ensure that consumers of financial records are comfortable with the
appropriate principles of auditing of their accounts.

Cost accountancy:- A chartered accountant can offer cost advice data, enforce cost management
policies and help track the prices of proper sales.

Taxation:- Tax valuation is very much associated with financial statements. With his expertise
in accounting, the Chartered Accountant is in a beneficial role to draw up tax returns, convey the
taxes across income tax authorities and support his clients with general tax guidance.

Management:- All of the Institute‘s top management positions in business and industry also
have their own corporate directors.

Investigative: – Chartered accountants are also invited to conduct inquiries into the financial
state of the corporation to issue new shares, buy or sell or finance the firm, figure out whether
revenues, reconstructions and amalgamations can be improved or lowered.

Special corporate activities:- The chartered accountants‘ services are also pursued in matters
such as details, funding arrangement and the liquidation of limited firms.

 DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION :-


 India :-

In India, Chartered Accountants are regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of


India (ICAI) which was established by the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949. Associate members
of the ICAI are entitled to add the prefix CA to their names. Members who are in full-time
practice, and have completed five years of practice, can use Fellow Chartered Accountant
(FCA). As of 1 April 2021, the Institute had 327,081 members.

Entry to the profession can be made by taking the CA Foundation Course after completion of
schooling (12th grade). Alternatively, graduates may train as an articled assistant for three years
in a chartered firm before final exam or after completion of Intermediate of Cost Accountant or
Company Secretary. A comprehensive 100 hours of information technology training and an
orientation programme for soft skills development have to be completed before being
articled. However the CA certification is limited to the geographical boundary of India and is not
valid in countries that follow different standards of accounting practice. After clearing of CA
final examination, one may apply for membership to ICAI.

A big and transformative step is starting the path to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) in
India. Making the appropriate company decision is essential for a successful career. We‘ll

 SWOT ANALYSIS OF ACCOUNTING FIRM

SWOT is a management tool used for strategic analysis. It helps you see where you are currently
as a business.

SWOT is an acronym standing for four words:

 S – Strengths: you look into your own company. What are your internal advantages, and what are
your strong sides?

SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR Page 38


MASTER OF COMMERCE ( DISTANCE )

 W – Weaknesses: again, you look into your own company. What are your internal
disadvantages, and what are your weak sides?

 O – Opportunities: you now go externally; you look beyond your company, into your
environment. What trends can affect positively your business?
 T – Threats: again, you look into the environment of your company. What trends can affect
negatively your business?

When you do a SWOT analysis, it is good to use a graphical presentation so that you can see all
the important factors affecting your strategy in one place:

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.
4. 4.

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
1. 1.
2. 2.

After completing the SWOT analysis, you need to set up your strategy.

When preparing your strategy, you need to answer the following question:

CHAPTER 8

LIMITATIONS

SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR Page 43


MASTER OF COMMERCE ( DISTANCE )

 LIMITATIONS

 Duration of the internship was quite small.

 Working hours were 8, so was‘t able to invest my time into other important tasks.

 At times the data available for study can be too large, which makes it a time consuming tasks.

 Sometimes it happens that the server & internet connection is low & accounting tasks are put
on hold.

 In bank statements, sometimes closing balances doesn‘t match, so it becomes a time


consuming task to reverify previous balances by checking or altering tally entries.

 Sometimes server issue comes from the main system which disables all other systems work
which makes the work delay.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY

SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR Page 45


MASTER OF COMMERCE ( DISTANCE )

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In mainly, I used two types of data collection methods for this research purpose.

1. Primary data

2. Secondary data

1. Primary data

This report has prepared through extensive use of primary data. It is collected
from group of people who are related with this company the following method are used in
collecting primary data.

Primary data is the data that is collected for the first time through personal
experiences or evidence, particularly for research. It is also described as raw data or first-hand
information. The mode of assembling the information is costly, as the analysis is done by an
agency or an external organisation, and needs human resources and investment. The investigator
supervises and controls the data collection process directly.

The data is mostly collected through observations, physical testing, mailed questionnaires,
surveys, personal interviews, telephonic interviews, case studies, and focus groups, etc.

2. Secondary data :

Secondary data is collected from the company‘s collected from the company‘s
manuals report and brochures through company‘s records. Secondary data is a second-hand data
that is already collected and recorded by some researchers for their purpose, and not for the
current research problem. It is accessible in the form of data collected from different sources
such as government publications, censuses, internal records of the organisation, books, journal
articles, websites and reports, etc.

This method of gathering data is affordable, readily available, and saves cost and
times.However, the one disadvantage is that the information assembled is for some other purpose
and may not meet the present research purpose or may not be accurate.

The type of research which I have used is the qualitative research, Qualitative
research describes qualities or characteristics. It is collected using questionnaires, interviews, or
observation, and frequently appears in narrative form. For example, it could be notes taken

SHIVAJI UNIVERSITY, KOLHAPUR Page 46


MASTER OF COMMERCE ( DISTANCE )

during a focus group on the quality of the food at Cafe Mac, or responses from an open- ended
questionnaire. Qualitative data may be difficult to precisely measure and analyse. The data may
be in the form of descriptive words that can be examined for patterns or meaning, sometimes
through the use of coding. Coding allows the researcher to categorize qualitative data to identify
themes that correspond with the research questions and to perform quantitative analysis.

Observational Data –

Observational data are captured through observation of a behavior oractivity. It is


collected using methods such as human observation, openended surveys, or the use of an
instrument or sensor to monitor and record information -- such as the use of sensors to observe
noise levels at the Mpls/St Paul airport. Because observational data are captured in real time, it
would be very difficult or impossible to re-create if lost.

 From the internship, it was seen that how manual accounting is converted to practical
accounting by usage of various softwares.

 Basic concepts of accounts which was introduced from class 11th were actually
included while implementation in tally software.

 For GST work, various softwares like Spectrum & Computax were used.

 Every voucher entry & specially share purchase & sales entries were recorded in the
systematical way in tally.

of stocks must be there in order to meet the demand for the consumers so that no
discrepancy can be taken out

 From the vouching, it was found that some purchase or sales bills were missing from
the accounting data, so it created awareness for an auditor to identify missing entries & to
alter it.
