Description
This course explains the importance of Chart of Accounts in the Accounting Function, Why Chart of Accounts becomes outdated and needs a Review and Redesign and what is the Best Practice driven approach for Redesign of Chart of Accounts
Chart of Accounts serve as the very base for the accounting function. The account codes organized in a specific logical order in the COA will be used for recording the financial impacts of various transactions.
With time the Chart of Accounts may become outdated and pose sever trouble to the Organizations with misleading Financial, Legal and Analytical Reports. It may be because of changing business landscape or business strategies or evolving accounting standards or legal and regulatory changes. It may also be because of legacy CoA inherited by an evolving organization.
The financial reports required for the new age businesses not only covers the traditional accounting details of transactions but also the statistical information which is quantities and trends of transaction progression over a period of time.
The tussle between the time and quality often results in winning of speed over accuracy and it puts immense pressure on the Financial Comptrollers and the CFOs to ensure that the financial information is captured and analysed quickly with minimal errors.
It is important to keep reviewing the COA periodically, consult the finance team on the difficulties they are facing, consult the senior management and stakeholders on the challenges they are facing with the reports and redesign the chart of accounts to ensure that new structure becomes flexible and can accommodate maximum possible foreseeable changes

In other words we believe that the price is the value customer experiences and NOT the costs of administrative and other overheads. We believe that our customer is aware that any fancy spending by the firm is in reality absorbed from the customer without adding value to the customer.The fact that major share of our investment goes to the value providers who are creators of the valuable intellectual content for the customers, indicates how determined the firm is for ensuring the best value to customers.Any spend that does not add value to customer is cost for the firm and for the customer.
