    INTRODUCTION

    Background

    The corporate laws of an economy are a sine qua non for economic growth. In todaysglobal economic scenario, entrepreneurs are looking forward to economies that havethe best, compact and easy laws and procedures that facilitate quick establishment ofcompanies. The Indian Company Law, which had its legislative origin afterindependence, had gone through a number of amendments since 1956. The Ministry ofCorporate Affairs has been taking timely and pro-active initiatives by making the existinglaw simple, compact with less cumbersome procedures. Apart from the large number ofsections contained in the Act, there are a number of Schedules to the Companies Act,1956 which the Ministry has been re-looking at from time to time. With its totalmakeover at this juncture, it is almost at par with the laws elsewhere in the globe and

    making the country as a platform for inviting off- shore investments. As AccountingStandards have become mandatory and more so the road map towards convergenc e ofIFRS has been drawn up, Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 became animportant piece of document, which necessitated the Ministry very recently to revise interms of contents, format and to align itself with that of existing Accounting Standards. Itis a major step and members of the profession have a greater role and responsibility inits preparation.

    Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act) provides the manner in which everycompany registered under the Act shall prepare its Balance Sheet, Statement of Profitand Loss and notes thereto. In the light of various economic and regulatory reforms thathave taken place for companies over the last several years, there was a need forenhancing the disclosure requirements under the Old Schedule VI to the Act andharmonizing and synchronizing them with the notified Accounting Standards asapplicable. Accordingly, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has issued a revised form ofSchedule VI on February 28, 2011.

    Need

    The Ministry of Corporate Affairs of the Government of India has been taking manyinitiatives for overhauling the Companies Act, 1956 through major amendments,circulars and notifications. To make Indian business and companies competitive andglobally recognizable, a need was felt that format of Financial Statements of Indian

    corporate should be comparable with international format. Since most of the Indian Accounting Standards are being made at par with the international AccountingStandards, the changes to format of Financial Statements to align with the AccountingStandards will make Indian companies competitive on the global financial world. Takingcognizance of imperative situation and need, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs revisedthe existing Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 and made it applicable to allcompanies for the Financial Statements to be prepared for the financial yearcommencing on or after April 1, 2011.

    Brief review of literature

    Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act) provides the manner in which every

    company registered under the Act shall prepare its Balance Sheet, Statement of Profitand Loss and notes thereto. The requirements of the Revised Schedule VI however, donot apply to companies as referred to in the proviso to Section 211 (1) and Section 211(2) of the Act, i.e., any insurance or banking company, or any company engaged in thegeneration or supply of electricity or to any other class of company for which a form ofBalance Sheet and Profit and Loss account has been specified in or under any other

    Act governing such class of company. Revised Schedule VI may be followed by suchcompanies till the time any other format is prescribed by the relevant statute.

    Objective

    The FORM AND CONTENT of Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account of

    Companies are regulated as per Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 which saysthat every Balance Sheet of a company must comply with the following threerequirements:

    It must give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at theend of the financial year.

    It must be in the form set out in Part-1 of Schedule VI or as near thereto ascircumstances admit or in such other form as may be approved by the CentralGovernment either generally or any particular case.

    Due regard must be had, in preparing the balance sheet to the generalinstructions for preperation of Balance Sheet under the heading Notes at the

    end of that part. Accordingly all companies whether public or private and irrespective of level ofoperation required to prepare their Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and notesthereto in the manner provided in Schedule VI.

    Methodology

    Area of Study

    1. The Revised Schedule VI is applicable for the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account to be prepared for the financial year commencing on or after April 1,

    2011.2. Early adoption of the Revised Schedule VI is not permitted since Schedule VI isa statutory format.

    3. The Revised Schedule VI requires that except in the case of the first FinancialStatements laid before the company after incorporation, the correspondingamounts for the immediately preceding period are to be disclosed in the FinancialStatements including the Notes to Accounts.

    4. Applicability of the Revised Schedule VI format to interim Financial Statementsprepared by companies in the first year of application of the Schedule.

    SampleThe Structure of Revised Schedule VI is as under:I. General InstructionsII. Part I Form of Balance SheetIII. General Instructions for Preparation of Balance SheetIV. Part II Form of Statement of Profit and LossV. General Instructions for Preparation of Statement of Profit and Loss

    Type of study

    The Revised Schedule VI requires that if compliance with the requirements of the

    Act and / or the notified Accounting Standards requires a change in the treatmentor disclosure in the Financial Statements as compared to that provided in theRevised Schedule VI, the requirements of the Act and / or the notified AccountingStandards will prevail over the Schedule.

    The Revised Schedule VI clarifies that the requirements mentioned therein fordisclosure on the face of the Financial Statements or in the notes are minimumrequirements. Line items, sub-line items and sub-totals can be presented as anaddition or substitution on the face of the Financial Statements when suchpresentation is relevant for understanding of the companys financial position and/or performance.

    In the Old Schedule VI, break-up of amounts disclosed in the main Balance

    Sheet and Profit and Loss Account was given in the Schedules. Additionalinformation was furnished in the Notes to Account. The Revised Schedule VI haseliminated the concept of Schedule and such information is now to be furnishedin the Notes to Accounts.

    The terms used in the Revised Schedule VI will carry the meaning as defined bythe applicable Accounting Standards. For example, the terms such asassociate, related parties, etc. will have the same meaning as defined in

    Accounting Standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules,2006.

    In preparing the Financial Statements including the Notes to Accounts, a balancewill have to be maintained between providing excessive detail that may not assist

    users of Financial Statements and not providing important information as a resultof too much aggregation.

    All items of assets and liabilities are to be bifurcated between current and non-current portions and presented separately on the face of the Balance Sheet.Such classification was not required by the Old Schedule VI.

    There is an explicit requirement to use the same unit of measurement uniformlythroughout the Financial Statements and notes thereon. Moreover, rounding off

  • 8/13/2019 specialization in companies act 2013

    requirements has been changed to eliminate the option of presenting figures interms of hundreds and thousands if turnover exceeds 100 crores.

    Tools for data collection

    Research data is either primary or secondary, depending on the source of theinformation. Both types of research data are valuable for market research or any othertype of study.

    Primary Data - Primary data is information collected by the researcher directly throughinstruments such as surveys, interviews, focus groups or observation. Tailored to hisspecific needs, primary research provides the researcher with the most accurate andup-to-date data.

    Secondary Data - Secondary data, on the other hand, is basically primary data collectedby someone else. Researchers reuse and repurpose information as secondary databecause it is easier and less expensive to collect. However, it is seldom as useful andaccurate as primary data.

    Method of analysis

    The major highlights of form of Balance Sheet are:-

    a) Under Revised Schedule VI, all the assets and liabilities are to be classified intocurrent and non-current, accordingly line items for both current and non-current havebeen inserted for items like trade receivables, trade payables, investments, provisions,

    loan and advances etc which were not provided earlier under Old Schedule VI.

    b) Only vertical format has been provided whereas earlier option of horizontal formatwas also allowed.

    c) Current Liabilities to be shown on liability side of balance sheet instead of deductionfrom current assets. Consequently the upper part named as Equity & Liabilities and laterpart named as Assets as against Sources of Funds and Application of Funds under OldSchedule.

    d) New line items inserted on face of Balance Sheet:

    i. Money received against share warrants under Shareholders funds. ii. Share application money pending allotment between Shareholders funds and Non -current liabilities.

    iii. Tangible Assets under Fixed Assets.

    iv. Intangible Assets under Fixed Assets.

    v. Intangible assets under development under Fixed Assets.

    The major highlights of form of Statement of Profit and Loss are:-

    a) Name changed from Profit and Loss Account to Statement of Profit and Loss.

    b) Under Old Schedule VI, there was no form of Statement of Profit and Loss, but samehas now been provided.

    c) In the format there is no mention for any appropriation item like transfers to reservesetc, which need to be presented under Reserves & Surplus in the Balance Sheet.

    Accordingly it ends with Profit after Tax and disclosure of Earning per share. Thedisclosure regarding the appropriations like transfers to reserves, proposed dividend,tax on dividend etc is shown under subhead Surplus in head Reserves and Surplusin the Balance Sheet.

    d) The expenses are to be classified by nature earlier even function based classificationwas permissible.

    e) Requires separate presentation of extraordinary and exceptional items.

    f) Requires separate disclosure of profit before tax, tax expense and profit after tax fromdiscontinuing operations.

    CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

    Framework Analysis

    1. Where compliance with therequirements of the Act including

    Accounting Standards as applicable to thecompanies require any change intreatment or disclosure including addition,amendment, substitution or deletion in thehead/sub-head or any changes inter se, inthe Financial Statements or statementsforming part thereof, the same shall bemade and the requirements of theSchedule VI shall stand modifiedaccordingly.

    This is a landmark change in the history ofFinancial Reporting System prevalent inIndia as Revised Schedule VI givessupremacy to the provisions of theCompanies Act and Accounting Standardsover the Revised Schedule VI, whereasearlier Old Schedule VI requirements weresupreme and were overriding the

    Accounting Standards. Now wheneveraccounting standards are changed, theresultant accounting treatment,presentation and disclosures will not be inconflict with the requirements of RevisedSchedule VI as same shall stand modifiedaccordingly.

    2. The disclosure requirements specified inPart I and Part II of this Schedule are in

    addition to and not in substitution of thedisclosure requirements specified in the Accounting Standards prescribed underthe Companies Act, 1956. Additionaldisclosures specified in the AccountingStandards shall be made in the Notes to

    Accounts or by way of additional statementunless required to be disclosed on the faceof the Financial Statements. Similarly, allother disclosures as required by the

    Companies Act shall be made in the Notesto Accounts in addition to the requirementsset out in this Schedule.

    Importance of Accounting Standards isagain reiterated as all the disclosure

    requirements specified in the AccountingStandards need to be complied with in theNotes to Accounts / additional statement /on the face of the Financial Statements,besides compliance with RevisedSchedule VI. Also all other disclosures asrequired by the Companies Act shall bemade in the Notes to Accounts.Companies need to comply with thedisclosure requirements of all three i.e.

    Revised Schedule VI, AccountingStandards and Companies Act, 1956.However in event of any conflict betweenSchedule and AS or Companies Act, thelater will prevail and Schedule will take aback seat.

    3. Notes to Accounts shall containinformation in addition to that presented inthe Financial Statements and shall providewhere required (a) narrative descriptionsof items recognized in those statementsand (b) information about items that do notqualify for recognition in those statements.

    Each item on the face of the BalanceSheet and Statement of Profit and Lossshall be cross-referenced to any relatedinformation in the Notes to Accounts. Inpreparing the Financial Statementsincluding the Notes to Accounts, a balanceshall be maintained between providingexcessive detail that may not assist usersof Financial Statements and not providingimportant information as a result of toomuch aggregation .

    For the first time, Notes to accounts havebeen defined will also be part of Notes.Consequently each item on the face of theBalance Sheet and Statement of Profit andLoss shall be cross referenced to anyrelated information in the Notes to

    Accounts (as against Schedules in oldSchedule VI). Due to above, Column ofSchedule No. on face of Balance Sheethas been changed to Note No. in RevisedSchedule VI and similarly Column of NoteNo. has been specified in newly introduced

    format of Statement of Profit and Loss.

    4. Except in the case of the first FinancialStatements laid before the Company (afterits incorporation) the corresponding

    amounts (comparatives) for theimmediately preceding reporting period forall items shown in the FinancialStatements including notes shall also begiven.

    There is no change here as under OldSchedule VI also previous years figureswere required to be given. However as the

    Revised Schedule VI is applicable from FY2011-12, the financial statements of FY2010-11 will be required to be reclassified /regrouped in accordance to RevisedSchedule VI, before being used ascomparatives. A note to this effect mayalso be given in the notes to account.

    As per AS- 9 Revenue Recognition, the disclosure in respect of Excise Duty needs tobe shown on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss. Since Accounting Standardsoverride Revised Schedule VI, the presentation in respect of excise duty will have to bemade on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss.

    In case of finance company, revenue from operations shall include revenue from

    CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    Revised Schedule VI sets out minimum requirements for disclosure and offerspresentation flexibility. This approach is a landmark change as compared to OldSchedule VI where such flexibility was not there. This change is in line with the IAS 1Presentation of Financial Statements. An entity should be guided by the qualitativecharacteristics of financial statements relevance and understandability in selectionof the line items. It is pertinent to mention here that this note has not been incorporatedbefore Part II that contains form of Statement of Profit and Loss. However consideringthat the Statement of Profit and Loss has also been referred here and the spirit of theflexibility inherent in the Revised Schedule VI, same logic is applicable to Part II as well.

    Part II deals with disclosures relating to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The formatprescribed is the vertical form wherein disclosure for revenues and expenses is invarious line items. Part II of the Schedule contains items I to XVI which lists items ofRevenue, Expenses and Profit / (Loss). General Instructions for Preparation ofStatement of Profit and Loss govern the other disclosure and presentation.

    The above project also helped me to gain an immense knowledge on Revised ScheduleVI which will help me throughout my life, be it as a professional or in any phase of life.
