Computerized Accounting for Your Company

Unit 1

Reading PassageComputerized Accounting for Your Company

Accounting is the core of any business. It is a process which gives you the information about the financial stability of your business. Each and every transaction that takes place within your organization has to be recorded properly. Without a proper Accounting system, no business can survive in this data oriented world. Accounts data helps to analyze the financial position of the organization, and plan well for future activities. It helps its investors to understand more about the company's financial objectives.

Unit 1

Reading Passage Accounting is based on some standards and these are

known Accounting Standards. Every Organization must adhere to these Accounting Standards. If one organization fails to adhere to these well-defined Accounting Standards, then it will result in complete chaos within the organization and will spoil the reputation of the company.

Unit 1

Reading Passage With the arrival of Computerized Accounting Software,

adhering to Accounting Standards has become easy. Accounting Software is built upon Accounting Standards and this makes all the entries made to it follow these standards to some extent. But due care has to be taken while entering transactions, as wrong Account Heads selected can again make problems. In Accounting software, each Account Head is defined under different main groups. When you define these Account Heads proper care has to be taken to ensure that these Account Heads falls under the right group. If this is not the case, then your financial results will show unexpected losses or profits, which is far beyond the reality.

A sentence in English should at least has a subject and a predicate (a verb).

The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate (verb) tells something about the subject.

Unit 1Subject

The subject tells who or what the sentence is about.For example:- David practices speaking English every day.- The employer interviewed all the candidates.- She is a really nice person.- Scissors are used to cut the jeans.

Unit 1

To determine the subject of a sentence, first isolate the predicate and then make a question by placing "who?" or "what?" before it.

sentence (Noun, Pronoun, or Noun Phrase) that performs an action or which is associated with the action.
