  • Professionally Qualified Accountants

    There are six institutions of professionally qualified accountants currently operating in the UK. All jealously guard their independence and the many attempts to merge over the past few years have all failed.

    Chartered Professional Accountants

    1. institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
      • Generally auditing, financial accounting, management consultancy, insolvency and tax advice. However, many work in industry.
    2. institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland ( lCAl)
      • Similar to ICAEW.
    3. institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
      • Similar to ICAEW.
    4. Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
      • Auditing, financial accounting, insolvency, management consultancy, and tax advice. Many train or work in industry.
    5. Chartered institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)
      • Management accounting
    6. Chartered institute of Public Finance and Accounting (CIPFA)
      • Accounting within the public sector and privatized industries.

    ACCA:  The ACCA’s members are not so easy to pigeonhole as the other professionally qualified accountants. They work both in public practice as auditors and as financial accountants. They also have an enormous number of overseas students. Many certified accountants train for their qualification in industry and never work in public practice.

    CIMA: This is an important body whose members generally train and work in industry. They are found in almost every industry, ranging, for example, from coal mining to computing. They mainly perform the management accounting function.
    CIPFA: This institute is smaller than the ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA. It is also much more specialized with its members typically working in the public sector or the newly privatized industries, such as Railtrack. CIPFA members perform a wide range of financial activities within these organisations, such as budgeting in local government.

    Second-Tier Bodies

    The main second-tier body in the UK is the Association of Accounting Technicians. This body was set up by the major professional accountancy bodies, Accounting technicians help professional accountants, often doing the more routine bookkeeping and costing activities.
    Many accounting technicians go on to qualify as professional accountants. The different accountancy bodies, therefore, all perform different functions. Some work in companies, some in professional accountancy practices, some in the public sector.

    Lay Priest

    The accountant working for a company

    Mendicant Priest

    The professional accountant in a partnership

    Monastic Priest

    The banker, who, while not strictly an accountant, serves much the same ends in a separate and semi-isolated unit

    Father Confessor

    The auditing accountant to whom everything is (officially) revealed, and who then grants absolution.

    Limitations of Accounting

    Accounting, therefore, measures business transactions in numerical terms. It thus provides useful information for
    managers and other users of accounts. It is, however. important to appreciate certain limitations of accounting.

    1. Accounting tends to measure the cost of past expenditures rather than the current value of assets.
    2. Traditional accounting does not capture non-financial aspects of business. Thus, if an industry pollutes the air or the water, this is not recorded in the conventional accounts. Nor does traditional accounting measure the human resources of a business or its knowledge and skills base. The accounts can’ thus’ only give a partial picture of a business’s activities.

  • The Importance of Bookkeeping

    All types of businesses, without exception, need to keep accurate and readily accessible records of their financial transactions. Many organizations other than businesses also need to do it, and some individuals too. As a child, I had a neighbor who died at the age of 75 leaving records that accounted for every penny of his income and expenditure since his 21 st birthday.
    Surprisingly he was a charming, generous man and in no way a miser. Perhaps you too have a personal bookkeeping system to record your financial affairs, though I would not recommend taking it to these extreme lengths. The benefits to a business of dependable financial records are probably self-evident.

    They include:

    • The law requires all companies and many other organizations to prepare accounts that conform to certain criteria. This can only be done if the basic, supporting financial records are in place.
    • The tax authorities require it. If you do not believe me, try telling Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs that you cannot do a VAT return because you have not kept proper records.
    • It is necessary to manage the bank account, cash and borrowing. Otherwise, cheques might bounce or unproductive surpluses build up.
    • Intelligently used, the records should warn of impending financial difficulties or even insolvency.
    • Intelligently used, the records should provide the basis for efficiency savings and profitable business decisions.
    • Without proper bookkeeping the owners would not know the worth of the business.
    • It is, in many instances, essential to comply with money laundering regulations.
