Basics of share and loan

The Definition of a Stock


stock is a share in the ownership of a
company.
Stock represents a claim on the
company's assets and earnings. As you
acquire more stock, your ownership stake
in the company becomes greater. Whether
you say shares, equity, or stock, it all
means the same thing.

Stock Vs. Share


The stock or capital stock of a business entity represents the
original capital paid into or invested in the business by its founders.
It serves as a security for the creditors of a business since it cannot
be withdrawn to the detriment of the creditors. Stock is distinct from
the property and the assets of a business which may fluctuate in
quantity and value.
The stock of a business is divided into shares, the total of which
must be stated at the time of business formation. Given the total
amount of money invested in the business, a share has a certain
declared face value, commonly known as the par value of a share.

Used in the plural, stocks is often used as a


synonym for shares.

INVESTING IN STOCKS
Why :
1. You do not need a lot of money to start making money, unlike
buying property and paying a monthly mortgage.
2. It requires very minimal time to trade - unlike building a conventional
business.
3.. Its fast cash and allows for quick liquidation (You can convert it to
cash easily, unlike selling a property or a business).
4. Its easy to learn how to profit from the stock market.

Types of stock
Common Stock
Preferred stock
Common shares represent ownership in a company and a claim
(dividends) on a portion of profits. Investors get one vote per share
to elect the board members, who oversee the major decisions made
by management.
Preferred stock represents some degree of ownership in a company
but usually doesn't come with the same voting rights. (This may vary
depending on the company.) With preferred shares, investors are
usually guaranteed a fixed dividend forever.

How Stocks Trade


Most stocks are traded on exchanges, which are places where
buyers and sellers meet and decide on a price. Some exchanges
are physical locations where transactions are carried out on a
trading floor.
The purpose of a stock market is to facilitate the exchange of
securities between buyers and sellers, reducing the risks of
investing. Just imagine how difficult it would be to sell shares if you
had to call around the neighborhood trying to find a buyer. Really, a
stock market is nothing more than a super-sophisticated farmers'
market linking buyers and sellers.

FINANCIAL MARKET
1.

Primary market or New Issue Market: all financial instruments are firstly
issued in this market. There are two type of primary market issues of
common stock .
Firstly: Initial Public offers (IPO) are stocks issued by a formerly privately
owned company selling stock to public for the first time
Secondly: New issue offered by companies that already have floated equity

We also distinguish between two type of primary market issues:


Public offerings : which is an issue of stocks or bonds sold to general
investing public that can be traded on stock market
Private Placements: which is an issue that is sold to a few wealthy or
institutional investors . Moreover private placement do not trade in

Conceptual framework
Balance Sheet
Income Statement

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual Framework
1. Conceptual frameworks define the fundamental accounting
principle and theories for formulation of accounting standards. They
also decide : Elements of Financial statements,qualitative
characteristics, fundamental assumptions , other concepts etc.
2. Framework statements have been issued in IGAAP and IFRS . In US
GAAP, Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts (SFAC) act as
framework statement which are detailed and rule oriented .
3. Framework assist in- Standard Setting process, interpretation and
application of Accounting standards, harmonisation with other
standards, enabling Auditors in forming an opinion wherever there are
no standard or standards are silent etc.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual Framework ..Indian GAAP

ICAI framework statement was issued in July 2000. This is NOT an


Accounting standard in itself and does not override any AS.

Users identified as - Investors, Lenders, suppliers, Customers,


Employees, Government and Public.

Underlying Assumptions- Accrual basis, Going Concern,


Consistency,

Qualitative characteristics- Understandability, Relevance, Reliability,


Comparability , true and fair view.

Elements of FS- Assets, Liabilities, equity, performance, income,


expenses, Capital maintenance adjustments. Also defines the
guidelines for recognition of elements of Financial statements.

Outlines the measurement criteria for elements of Financial


statements including Historical Cost, Current cost , Realisable Value

Lays down concept of Financial and operating Capital and their


maintenance

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual framework.Indian GAAP..

ICAI is working on project to harmonise IGAAP with IFRS . New


Accounting standards are on the anvil for Financial instruments,
Share based payments, Retirement benefit Plans, Agriculture,
Insurance etc.

Adoption of Accounting standards issued by ASB is made


compulsory for Indian Companies as per Companies Act,

GAAP announced by ASB of ICAI. Till date 29 AS announced, and


effective 28 GAAP, after withdrawal of AS 8 on R&D. Several guidance
notes also issued which members are required to follow. GAAP also
pronounced by SEBI, Listing agreement and statutes like Companies
Act, RBI Act, Banking Act, IRDA Act , Electricity Act etc.

Enterprises have been classified in 3 categories for application of


Accounting standards: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual Framework ..IFRS


IFRS framework was issued in April, 1989. This Framework deals
with Objective of Financial statement, Qualititative characteristics,
elements of financial statement, Concept of Capital and capital
maintenance.
Qualitative characteristics- Understandability, Relevance, materiality,
Reliability, faithful representation, substance over form, neutrality,
prudence, completeness, Comparability and true and fair view

Measurement criteria includes PV in addition to Historical Cost,


Current cost and Realisable Value

Concept of Financial and Physical Capital as well their maintenance


enunciated in framework which have also been incorporated in
IGAAP.
IFRS is required or permitted for use in over 90 Countries for
Financial reporting, EU has recently mandated application of IFRS for
all listed Companies affecting over 7000 companies .

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual Framework ..US GAAP


Under US GAAP, detailed framework for pronouncing accounting
standards are contained in SFAC- Statement of Financial Accounting
Concepts .Total seven SFAC have been issued, out of which SFAC-3 is
replaced.
SFAC forms the basis of pronouncement of FAS. SFAC is not
authoritative GAAP, but can be used if no GAAP exists. There are 6 SFAC
in force on Objective , Quality Characteristics, Recognition and
measurement, Elements and Cash flow.
GAAP /SFAC pronouncement are made by FASB which is not an
accounting Body like ICAI. AICPA does not pronounce GAAP.
Over 150 FAS announced till date, many of which are amendment /
replacement.
Separate Accounting Board for Government Companies called GASB.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual Framework ..Comparison


Historical Costing IGAAP and IFRS permits revaluation in contrast
to Historical Cost convention, while US GAAP does not permit
revaluation. Only securities and derivatives can be valued at Fair
Value under IFRS and US GAAP.
True & Fair View: Under IFRS and IGAAP framework , there is an
assumption that adoption of IFRS /IGAAP leads to a true and fair
presentation, there is no such assumption under US GAAP.
Prudence Vs Rules: There is a common allegation against US GAAP,
that they are rule oriented and based on specific cases. However this
is not true, as FAS are also more detailed and lay down detailed
principles for application. No such allegation is leveled against IGAAP
and IFRS.
Comparative Position : under IGAAP and IFRS, comparative financial
figures are to be provided for one previous years, whereas under
USGAAP (SEC requirement for listed companies ) comparatives are to
be provided for two previous years except for Balance Sheet.
IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Conceptual Framework ..comparison


Over-riding of Standards IFRS permits that a company may
withhold application of IFRS in extremely rare situation, where it is
felt that application of IFRS would defeat the very objective of
Financial reporting. Disclosure must be made for reason for override.
No such override is generally permitted under IGAAP and US GAAP.

Reporting Elements : IFRS prescribes the minimum structure and


content of financial statement including Statement of Changes in
equity (in addition to Balance sheet, Income statement, Cash flow
statement , notes comprising significant accounting Policy and other
explanatory notes). Under US GAAP in addition to statement of
changes in Equity, Statement of Comprehensive Income is required.
Both of these statements are NOT required under IGAAP.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Balance Sheet..IGAAP.
Balance sheet is required under the GAAPs to give disclosure about
assets and Liabilities and as a primary financial statement .
Format : IGAAP provides two format of Balance Sheet- Horizontal
and Vertical format ( Part I of schedule VI to the Companies Act,
1956)
IGAAP does not prescribe any current and non current classification.
It rather lists out line items in increasing order of liquidity as sources
and application of funds.
Vertical format requires details of each item in separate schedule,
read with notes.

Additional disclosures include no of shares held by Holding co as


well as the ultimate holding co, aggregate value of quoted
investments, their market value, amount of guarantee given by the
Company on behalf of directors etc.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Balance Sheet...IFRS (IAS1)

IFRS does not prescribe any format, but stipulates minimum line
items like PPE, Investment property, Intangible assets, Financial
assets, Biological assets, inventory, receivables etc. Additional line
items, subheadings and subtotals shall be presented on the face of
BS if relevant. The order of presentation within the group or otherwise
in not mandatory.

An organisation has an option to adopt Current or Non current


classification of assets and liabilities . Deferred Tax Assets not to be
shown as Current assets, if Current /non current classification
adopted. ( IAS 1.53 )
While many items of disclosure are common, the following items
must be disclosed on the face of balance sheet : Biological assets,
Tax Liability, Minority Interest etc (IAS 1.66 )

IFRS permits an enterprise to disclose any long term interest


bearing liability due for settlement within 12 months,as long term
liability if the same is likely to be refinanced and can be supported
by adequate documentary evidence.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Balance Sheet...US GAAP

US GAAP also does not prescribe any format , but Rule S-X of SEC
stipulates for listed companies minimum line items to be disclosed
either on face of Balance sheet or Notes to Accounts like Current
Assets ( Cash and cash items, marketable securities, allowance for
Bad debts, prepaid expenses, other current assets) and Non Current
Assets on asset side and current and non current liabilities on
liabilities side.

While many items of disclosure are common, the following items


must be disclosed like Unearned Income, Securities of related parties,
Minority Interest in consolidated subsidiaries, non current
indebtedness to related parties.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Balance Sheet..comparison

Format : IGAAP provides two formats of Balance Sheet- Horizontal


and Vertical format and order of presentation as well . IFRS and
USGAAP do not prescribe any format ,
Order of line items: Under US GAAP, items in assets and liabilities
are presented in decreasing order of liquidity, whereas under IFRS (if
Current and non current order followed ) and IGAAP, line items are
presented in increasing order of liquidity.
Consolidation : Under IGAAP and IFRS consolidation of Financial
statements of subsidiaries is not compulsory until it is required
under some other law or regulation, whereas under US GAAP
consolidation of results of Subsidiaries and Variable interest entity
(FIN 46R) is compulsory. A VIE is an entity in which the organisation
does not hold majority interest but is responsible to provide
necessary funding support.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Income statement...IGAAP

Under Indian GAAP no format is prescribed , but minimum line items


have been specified in Part II of schedule VI to Companies Act, 1956
including Aggregate Turnover, Gross Service revenue for
Commission paid to Sole selling agent, Brokerage and discount on
sales, depreciation, consumption of stores and spare parts, power
and fuel, rent, repairs, rates and taxes etc.
Indian GAAP requires disclosure of several additional information by
way of notes like Licensed and installed capacity, actual production
details, details of imports, forex earnings and outgo, Net Profit
computation u/s 349 etc.

Any item of expenditure which exceeds 1% of total revenue or Rs


5000/- whichever is higher should be shown as a distinct items and
should not be clubbed as Misc expenses.

Requires separate disclosure of exceptional and non recurring


items.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Income statement... IFRS

IFRS does not prescribe any standard format for income


statement but prescribes minimum disclosure includes revenue,
finance costs, share of post tax results of JV and associates using
equity method, pre tax gain/loss on asset disposal, discontinued
operation tax charge, and Net profit or loss etc.

Under IFRS , the reporting entity has an option to prepare income


statement either by nature of expenses or by Function (Cost of sales
method ) (IAS 1.84)

Under IFRS , Income is defined as Revenue and gains and expenses


are defined to include losses and are decreases in economic activity
that result in decrease in equity.

Additional disclosure under IFRS include amount of dividend and


DPS declared or proposed (IAS 1.95) , Share in profit /loss of
associates under equity method, profit/loss attributable to minority
interest (IAS 1.82) .

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Income statement...US GAAP


Under US GAAP as well there is no prescribed format, SEC
guidelines Rule S-X prescribe minimum line items to be shown on the
face of income statement. SEC rules also suggest 2 alternatives a) a
single step format where expenses are classified by function and b) a
Multiple step format where Cost of sales is deducted from Sales .

Income can be classified as from net sale of tangible products,


operating revenue of public utilities, rentals ,services & other revenue.
Revenue from any class which is less than 10% of total revenue can
be clubbed with other class.

Costs and exp include cost of tangible goods sold, operating exp of
public utility, exp relating to rental income, Selling general and admn
exp,Provisions .

Non operating income like dividend, interest on securities, net profit


on securities, misc income as well as non operating exp like loss on
securities, misc income ,deductions can be shown in notes to
accounts

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Income statement... Comparison

Change in accounting policy : Under IGAAP effect for change in


accounting policy is given with prospective effect , if the same is material.
Only in case of change in method of depreciation, the same has to be
applied with retrospective effect. Other disclosures required like need for
change etc

IFRS requires retroactive application for the earliest period practical


and adjustment of opening retained earning. Exemption given for
prospective application, if resulting adjustment are not reasonably
determinable

US GAAP 1) requires prospective application of change in accounting policy


and proforma disclosure of effect on income before extraordinary items on the
face of income statement as separate section.

US GAAP -2) In case of specific situations like change from LIFO method of
valuation of stock,accounting for long term construction contract, change from/
to full cost method in extractive Industry and Change in depreciation Policy,
retrospective application required to restate opening retained earning. Effect of
changes on income before extraordinary items, net income and EPS should be
disclosed for all periods on the face of Income statement in the period of change.
IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Income statement... Comparison


Prior period items :
IGAAP (AS 5.15,19) requires separate disclosure of prior period in the
current financial statement either as part of current years results or as
an alternative approach after determination of current net profit or
loss.
No restatement of retained earnings are required.however complete
disclosure of prior period and its impact on financial statements should
be disclosed.
US GAAP (FAS 16) also mandates retrospective application of error and
requires restatement of comparative opening balance with suitable
footnote disclosure.

IFRS requires that a prior period item/error should be corrected by


retrospective effect by restatement of opening balance of assets,
liabilities or equities for the earliest period practicable. Entity should
also disclose nature of error and the amount of correction for each
financial line item. IFRS also requires that such disclosure should not
be repeated in subsequent period.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

Income statement... Comparison

Discounting : IFRS provides that where the inflow of cash is


significantly deferred without interest, discounting is needed. US
GAAP also permits discounting in certain cases, while there is no
concept of discounting under IGAAP.

Persuasive evidence: US GAAP requires availability of a persuasive


evidence for revenue recognition with several elements while there is
no such requirement in IGAAP and IFRS .

Consolidation : US GAAP mandates consolidation of results of


subsidiaries and VIEs, whereas IGAAP and IFRS do not mandate
consolidation as such except as required under law.
Others :There are significant differences in the 3 GAAP on
measurement and disclosure of various heads of Income and
Expenditure including forex losses, extinguishment of debts,
Employee benefits, ESOP, Dividend Tax, Loss on investments etc.
leading to reconciliation issues between IGAAP results vis a vis IFRS
and USGAAP.

IGAAP, IFRS & US GAAP

SUMMARY

Conceptual framework: While IGAAP and IFRS have conceptual


framework statement, US GAAP has SFAC. Broadly similar principles
except Revaluation , True and fair view override, comparative financial
statements, statement of changes in equity and comprehensive
income.

Balance sheet : Indian GAAP provides 2 formats of Balance sheet


presentation and minimum line items to be shown on the face of
balance sheet. IFRS and US GAAP do not provide any format, but
suggest minimum line items. Liquidity order differs in Indian GAAP
vis a vis USGAAP and IFRS.
Income statement : No format suggested in the 3 GAAP but minimum
line items suggested.difference in definition of Income, expenses,
treatment of change in accounting Policy, prior period items and
miscellaneous items leading to reconciliation issues.
