INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING
Accounting can be defined as a process of reporting, recording, interpreting and summarising
economic data. The introduction of accounting helps the decision-makers of a company to
make effective choices, by providing information on the financial status of the business.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) had defined accounting as
the “art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of
money, transactions and events which are, in part at least, of financial character, and
interpreting the results thereof”.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANUAL AND COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING
1. Manual Accounting refers to the accounting method in which physical registers for
journal and ledger, vouchers and account books are used to keep a record of the
financial transactions. On the other hand, computerized accounting implies the
method of accounting, which uses an accounting software or package, to record the
monetary transactions, which happen to an organization.
2. In manual accounting, recording of the transaction can be done through the book of
original entry, i.e. journal day book. Conversely, in computerized accounting, the
transactions are recorded in the form of data, in the customised database.
3. In manual accounting, all the calculations, i.e. addition, subtraction, etc. with respect
to the transactions are performed manually. In contrast, in computerized accounting,
there is no need to perform calculations, as the calculations are performed by the
computer automatically.
4. In manual accounting, a person remains involved all the time, with the accounts, to
enter and update transactions, which is tedious and time-consuming too. As against, in
computerized accounting, once the transaction is entered, it is automatically updated
in all the accounts to which it relates and thus, the process is comparatively faster.
5. In manual accounting method, if there occurs an error while entering and posting the
transaction in the books of accounts, then adjustment entries can be passed, for getting
accurate results. Moreover, adjustment entries are also made to comply with the
matching principle, i.e. the expenses of the accounting period should match the
respective revenues. On the other hand, in computerized accounting, to comply with
the matching principles journal and vouchers are prepared, but adjustments entries are
not passed for rectification of error unless the error is an error of principle.
6. One of the merits of computerized accounting which manual accounting lacks is that
in manual accounting there is no way to back up all the entries and financial
statements, but in computerized accounting, the accounting records can be saved and
backed up.
7. In manual accounting, the trial balance is prepared only when it is required, whereas,
in computerized accounting, instant trial balance is provided on a daily basis.

8. In a manual accounting system, the financial statement is prepared at the end of the
period, i.e. financial year. On the contrary, the financial statement is provided at the
click of a button, in the computerized accounting system.

DISADVANTAGES OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING
(i) Heavy cost of installation
Computer hardware needs replacement and software needs to be updated from time to time
with the availability of newer versions.
(ii) Cost of training
To ensure effective and efficient use of computerised system of accounting, newer versions
of hardware and software are to be introduced. These require special training and hence, cost
is incurred to train the staff personnel.
(iii) Fear of unemployment
On account of the introduction of computerised accounting system, the employees feel
insecure that they may lose employment and show less interest in computer related work.
(iv) Disruption of work
When computerised system is introduced, the existing process of accounting and other works
are interrupted. This results in certain changes in the working environment.
(v) System failure
The danger of a system crashing due to some failure in hardware can lead to subsequent
interruption of work. This is more when no back-up is made.
(vi) Time consuming
When there is system failure, an alternative arrangement needs to be made to avoid loss of
work. This consumes some time to bring the regular processes back.
(vii) Unanticipated errors not known
Unlike human beings, computers do not have the capability to judge or detect unanticipated
errors in the system.
(viii) Breaches of security
The danger of viruses and hacking into the system from outside creates a strong need for
security of the system. Similarly, the person who has created the specific programme can
easily defraud by tampering with the original records.
(ix) Health dangers
Extensive use of computers may lead to many health problems such as eye strain, muscular
complaints, back ache, etc. resulting in reducing work efficiency as well as increased medical
expenditure.

ACCOUNTS AND VOUCHERS
GROUPS
Groups are collection of ledgers of the same nature. Account groups are maintained to
determine the hierarchy of Ledger Accounts, which is helpful in determining and presenting
meaningful and compliant reports. Using this you can generate reports, which are meaningful
as well as compliant with laws.
At the highest level, accounts are classified into Capital or Revenue – and more specifically
into Assets , Liabilities , Income and Expenditure .
Tally.ERP 9 provides you with 28 pre-defined Groups . Of these 15 are Primary Groups and
13 are Sub-Groups . You can also create your own groups, either as Sub-groups or Primary
groups . Groups can be sub-classified to an unlimited level to give a virtual accounting tree.
The lowest level would be the Ledger Account. All Voucher entries are passed using ledgers.
You can create the required chart of accounts. You can group the Ledger accounts under the
required Groups at the time of creating the chart of accounts or you can alter them at any
time.
Tally.ERP 9 has pre-defined ledgers for Cash (under Cash-in-hand group) and for the Profit
& Loss A/c (under primary group).

Main Differences between Group and ledger in tally 9
1. Tally provides us 23 automatic groups for ledger creation . But tally provides only 2
ledger account in tally software and its names are cash are profit and loss account .
2. Group is head category or it is base of ledger creation . We can simply take an
example from you day to day field . Suppose you have taken commerce subject and it
can also divide into management theory , accounts , business maths and economics .
So , Main group is commerce and all other are called ledger accounts but under this
commerce group . Same will apply in accounting in tally , We can create several
groups under single ledger .
3. We generally neither create extra groups nor change them which is provided by tally
software but we must create different ledger according to the need of recording of
different vouchers in tally 9
4. If we have changed group from one category to another , all ledger will automatically
change by this . So be serious for making any change in group .
5. Group is most helpful to make final account according the the nature of organisation ,
but ledger creation is not helpful for any redesigning of final account in tally 9. Let
me explain more about it . I need insurance company account not in sundry
debtor account but in sundry insurance account so , I made sundry insurance account
in group for making redesigning my final account .
Bank Reconciliation
A bank reconciliation statement is a document that compares the cash balance on a
company’s balance sheet to the corresponding amount on its bank statement. Reconciling the
two accounts helps identify whether accounting changes are needed. Bank reconciliations are
completed at regular intervals to ensure that the company’s cash records are correct. They
also help detect fraud and any cash manipulations.
Importance of Bank Reconciliation Statement
Generally while making a comparison between the company’s cash book and bank balance,
the balance does not tally. Therefore, it is important to determine the cause for the difference
and display them in the bank reconciliation statement and then tally the two balances. The
bank reconciliation statement helps in explaining the differences in the amount between the
company’s cash book and bank balance. The cash book and the bank passbook differences
are caused by:
• The difference in timing recording the transactions: The difference in timing can be
caused by many factors which are:
14
Indira Gandhi College Of Arts Science, Nellikuzhi
o Bank-issued cheque but not yet deposited for payment
o Paid cheque in the bank but yet not cleared
o Bank made direct debit from the customer’s side
o Cheque/ amount deposited directly to the bank account
o Dividends and Interest collected by the bank
o Bank made direct payment from the customer’s side
o Cheques deposited/bills discounted dishonoured
• Errors made by the company or by the bank: In a few occasions, the error in two
balances can be made from the bank side or in the company’s cash book. Few errors
are as follows:
o Errors made while registering the transaction by the company
o Errors made while registering the transaction by the bank

MODULE-3
ACCOUNTS WITH INVENTORY
Inventory management can be defined as a whole lot of activities done to maintain an
optimum number of inventories to ensure uninterrupted production, sales, high customer
satisfaction, and reduced inventory handling cost and so on.
In simple words, inventory management is all about striking the balance between
overstocking and understocking. Overstocking will lead to cash flow blockage and additional
cost for managing excess stock. On the flip side, understocking leads to loss of sale due to
non-availability of stock at the right time.
NEED FOR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
An effective inventory management system is the cornerstone of successful eCommerce and
online retail brands. With a strategic plan in place that optimizes the process of overseeing
and managing inventory, including real-time data of inventory conditions and levels,
companies can achieve inventory management benefits that include:
• Accurate Order Fulfilment – Imagine this scenario: A customer places an order and
an eCommerce brand receives the order. The brand sends it to the warehouse only to
discover that the product is out of stock. Or just as bad, the eCommerce brand ships
the wrong item. This isn’t an uncommon story if inventory is poorly managed. Taking
the time to develop a more robust plan can help brands avoid inaccurately filled
orders, high return volumes and a loss of customer base.
• Better Inventory Planning and Ordering – It’s difficult to gauge which products
are needed if there isn’t a clear way to tell what products are already stocked. If online
retailers don’t properly manage the inventory they already have, they can easily
overstock items, and some of these items might not be strong sellers. Detailed
inventory management mitigates these issues, allowing warehouse managers to
refresh inventory only when needed. It’s both space and cost-effective.
• Increased Consumer Satisfaction – Customers that shop online are eagerly awaiting
their orders, and there’s nothing worse than when their orders arrive not-as-described,
late or damaged. When that happens, buyers are less likely to purchase from the brand
again. On the other hand, good inventory management leads to orders being fulfilled
more quickly and shipped out to customers faster. The enhanced processes can help
eCommerce and online retail brands build a strong repertoire with consumers – and
keep them coming back for more.

ACCOUNTING WITH TAX
27
Indira Gandhi College Of Arts Science, Nellikuzhi
4. TDS Not deducted: TDS Not Deducted report displays party wise TDS not deducted
details.
GST Terminologies
GST, the new genre taxation module is imbibed with numerous new terms and
nomenclatures, which you should be aware about. They are
1) GST
Goods and Services Tax, commonly known as GST, is a single, indirect, multi-stage,
destination based consumption tax, which will replace almost all the existing Central and
State taxes, including but not limited to CENVAT, Octroi, Sales Tax and Excise Duty etc.
GST has replaced all existing direct and indirect, Central and State taxes, from 1st July, 2017.
2) GSTIN
GSTIN, i.e. Goods and Services Tax Identification Number is a business’s legal and unique
identity with the government of India in the GST regime. GSTIN is a 15 alphanumeric
character, PAN based distinctive number, allotted state-wise.
3) Reverse Charge
Reverse Charge is a mechanism and supervisory arrangement to monitor and increase the tax
coverage, compliance, synchronization and track-ability amongst unorganized, partly
organized and fully organized sectors.
4) Mixed Supply
A mixed supply is a combination of two or more individual supplies of goods or services or
any other arrangement of goods or services made by a GST payer for a single price. The
components of the mixed supply are not organically bundled but it is an intentional fusion
from business perspective.
5) Composite Supply
A composite supply is an organic combination of two or more individual supplies of goods
and services or any other natural arrangement of goods or services made by a GST payer for
a single price.
A composite supply is further broken into two parts:
Principal Supply: The major and the foremost element in the Composite Supply of goods or
services.
Dependent Supply: This is the depending element and rests on the Principal Supply.
6) ITC
Input tax credit [ITC] is the credit manufacturers receive for paying input taxes towards
inputs used in the manufacture of products. Likewise, a dealer is entitled to input tax credit, if
he has purchased goods for resale.
To avoid double taxation on items used as inputs to make other items, credit of taxes paid on
the inputs can be taken by the maker of the next item while paying tax on the output. If the
tax paid on inputs is higher than the tax on the output, the excess can be claimed as a refund.
28
Indira Gandhi College Of Arts Science, Nellikuzhi
7) GSTR
GSTR, i.e. GST Return is a document capturing the details of the income, which a tax payer
is supposed to file with the authorities to calculate his tax liability. There are total eleven
types of GST returns, starting from GSTR-1 to GSTR-11, capturing and catering to different
forms of tax payers.
Types of GST
There are four types of GST as explained below, these are:
1. SGST – GST imposed by specific State governments on the intra-State trade and
services or trade within the state is called SGST(State-GST). Here the revenues are
earned by the State govt. due to SGST as the transaction occurred within the state. For
example – Suppose goods manufactured and sold within Haryana state then SGST
will be collected by the Haryana state.
2. UGST – In case of Union territories such as Chandigarh, instead of State govt. the
GST is collected by the Central administration and is referred to as UGST(Union-
GST).
3. CGST – For an intra-State transaction of goods and services, CGST(Central-GST) is
levied by the Central government. It is collected along with the SGST or UGST, and
the revenues collected are distributed between the State and the Central govt. For
example – If the goods or services are provided within State Haryana, then along with
SGST or UGST, CGST will also be collected.IGST – Integrated GST is collected on
goods and services transactions between different states. It is also applied to imports
or exports of goods and services. Here the SGST portion of the tax collected is given
to the state, which is the consumer of the said goods or services. The IGST earned is
then divided between the state and the central government.
TAX COLLECTED AT SOURCE (TDS)
Indian Income Tax act has the provisions for tax collection at source. In these provisions,
certain persons are required to collect a specified percentage of tax from their buyers on
exceptional transactions. Most of these transactions are trading or business in nature. It does
not affect the common man. In this article we will cover:
29
Indira Gandhi College Of Arts Science, Nellikuzhi
So, coming back to the GST ledgers, we need to create the following GST ledgers in Tally.
They are:
• Output CGST Ledger – when you sell goods or services inside your state
• Output SGST Ledger – when you sell goods or services inside your state
• Output IGST Ledger – when you sell goods or services outside your state
• Input CGST Ledger – when you buy goods or services inside your state
• Input SGST Ledger – when you buy goods or services inside your state
• Input IGST Ledger – when you buy goods or services outside your state
Computing GST
Usually, the input tax credit should be reduced from outward tax liability to calculate the
total GST payment to be made. TDS/TCS will be reduced from the total GST to arrive at the
net payable figure. Interest and late fees will be added to arrive at the final amount. Amount
of input tax credit on account of IGST shall first utilized for the Payment of IGST then for
payment of CGST and then payment of SGST or UTGST.
