Note:
4. Normal Loss need not be recorded separately.
In case of (A) (I) (a) (ii): Under this method it is assumed that the branch has a separate
entity apart from the head office and, on this basis, a branch account is opened separately for
each branch in the books of head office. This account is debited with the value of benefits and
‘cash given to the branch and correspondingly credited with the value of benefits and cash
received from the branch.

Ledger Accounts and their details:
1. Branch Stock A/c: There will be an opening balance in this account representing opening
stock at branch at selling price and a closing balance representing closing stock at branch
at selling price. After all the relevant entries have been passed to this account as already
detailed, both sides of this account should agree. Any difference represents surplus or
deficiency of stock and will be transferred to a stock discrepancy account The stock
discrepancy account will be closed by transferring the loading to branch stock adjustment
account and the balance to branch profit & loss A/c,
2. Branch Stock Adjustment A/c: This account will be credited with the Stock Reserve A/c
for the loading included in the opening branch stock (at selling price). Similarly, this
account is debited with the Stock Reserve A/c for loading included in the closing branch
stock. The difference remaining in this account (after all the relevant entries have been
passed) represents gross profit/loss at branch and will be transferred to branch Profit &
Loss Alc.
IPCC_Advanced Accounting_37e_Branch Accounts. 190No.4 for CAICWA & MECICEC MASTER MINDS )
3. Loss of Goods: This will be treated in the following manner:
Normal Loss: Since branch stock adjustment account discloses gross profit, normal loss
should be charged to this account by the following entry’
1. | Branch Stock Adj. Ale Dr Selling Price
To Branch Stock Ale
Abnormal Loss: The following entries will be passed for recording abnormal loss:
4. [Abnormal Loss A/c Dr Selling Price
To Branch Stock A/c
2._| Branch Stock Adj. Alc Or Load on goods lost
To Abnormal Loss A/c
3._| Branch Profit & Loss A/c Or Cost price of goods lost
To Abnormal Loss A/c
If the goods are insured, insurance claim account will be debited instead of branch Profit &
Loss A/c to the extent of claim admitted and the balance will be debited to branch profit &
loss Alc.
In case of (A) (I) (b & c)
Accounting Entries in the books of Head Office: The branch account will be prepared on the
same line as discussed earlier, but as goods are supplig’to the branch at loaded price. (1)
‘Opening stock, (2) goods sent to branch, (3) goods ret ly branch and (4) closing stock will
be recorded in the branch account at this price. Hen ‘der to ascertain the true proft or loss
at branch it will be necessary to eliminate the loads ing down these items to cost level.
For this purpose the following adju: ‘will be made:
1. | For load on Goods sent to Brands
Goods Sent to Branch A/c QS Dr XXX

2. | For load on Goods returned by Branch to H.0.

The balance of stock reserve account at the end of each year will be carried forward to the
next year for being transferred to the branch account of that year as shown in item (3) above
In case of (A) (I) (a) (iii): In this approach, profit & loss accounts are prepared considering
each branch as a separate entity. The main advantage in this method is that, it is easy to
prepare and understand
In_case of (A) (l) (b & c) {iv}: Without writing up a Branch Stock and Branch Adjustment
‘Account, it is also practicable to record alll the relevant figures only in one account, by having
two separate columns, one to show the value of goods sent out to branch at cost, entries
wherein will be part of the double entry system and in second column memorandum entries in
respect of the value of the same stock at the selling price. Under such a method, while the first
‘column would disclose the amount of gross profit and the value of stock carried forward at cost
the second column would not disclose profit or loss, but would balance by including therein the
value of closing stock at selling price provided that there has been no physical loss of stocks.

Distinction between Wholesale Profit & Retail profit at Branch: In order to know whether
self-retailing through branches is more profitable than wholesaling, it is necessary to make a
distinction between wholesale profit and retail profit. The true profit of a branch can, therefore,
be determined by charging it with the wholesale price of goods sent and crediting the head
office trading account with the same amount, Since closing stock of branch, in such a case,
will be valued at wholesale price it will be necessary to create a provision for unrealised profit
‘on stock by debiting the head office Profit & Loss A/c.
For E.g.: Let the cost of an Article be Rs.100, wholesale price be Rs.140 and retail price be
Rs.150. If itis sold through a retail branch, the profit earned will be Rs.50. But the true profit
of the branch is, however, Rs.10 only, because Rs.40 could have been earned even without
having the branch i.e. by selling it on wholesale basis to others.

Note:
In case of (AXIl) (Independent Branches): Indeper
account books for recording their transactions, therefg feparate trial balance of each branch
can be prepared. The head office maintains one lec -ount for each such branch, wherein all
transactions between the head office and the, s 'és are recorded. The head office A/c in
ranches maintain comprehensive
branch books and Branch A/c in head offi S should tie up whereby completeness of
recording of transactions can be ensured.
If the branch and the head office ac; jo not tally, these must be reconciled before the
preparation of the final accounts of the@S¥cem as a whole.
Part | - Reasons for Disagreements:
1. Goods dispatched by the Head office not received by the branch. These goods may be in
transit or loss in transit.
2. Goods returned by the branch to Head Office may have been received by the H.O. Again,
these goods may be in transit or lost in transit.
3. Sum remitted by Head office to branch or vice versa remaining in transit on the closing date.
4. Receipt of income or payment or expenses relating to the Branch transacted by the head
office or vice versa, hence not recorded at the respective ends wherein they are normally
to be recorded
The technique of reconciliation has been illustrated through the example given below:
i Head Office Branch Office
Particulars

Goods reed. from H.0. Alc = | 1,40,000

Other adjustment:
1. Regarding Depreciation on Fixed Assets: Often, the accounts of fixed assets of a
branch are maintained in the head office books. In such a case,
1. | Entry for depreciation in H.0. Books:
Branch A/c Or XXX
To Branch Fixed Assets A/c XX
2. |The branch passes the following entry in its own
books for Depreciation:
Depreciation A/c Dr XXX
To Head Office A/c XXX
Any purchase of fixed assets by the branch, in such a case, should be debited to head
office account and credited to bank (or Supplier's A/c) in the branch books. Similarly, in
head office books the same should be debited to branch fixed assets account and credited
to Branch A/c.
2. Regarding Inter-Branch Transactions: Where there are number of branches, inter-branch
transactions are likely to take place, e.g., cash or goods sent by one branch to another or
expenses incurred by one branch on behalf of another. Such transactions are usually
adjusted assuming that they were entered into under the instructions from the H.O.
Suppose Kolkatta branch transfers some goods to Mumbai branch under the directions of
the H.O. The entries will be as follows
1. | In the books of Kolkatta Branch: SS

To Kolkatta Branch A/c XXX
Note:
1. Inter-branch transactions without the knowledge of head office may be passed as
between the branches only in the usual manner.
3. Regarding Charges made by H.0.: The head office may make a charge to the branch for
services rendered by it, or for a portion of head office overheads applicable to branch
management on the principle that the branch should be debited with all relevant expenses
and charges applicable to it
1. | In head office books the entry will be:
Branch Alc Dr XXX
To The Relevant Expenses A/c XXX
2. | In Branch books the entry will be:
The Relevant Expenses Alc Or OK
To Head Office Ale XXX
4, Remittances A/c: Sometimes the branch remits cash to the head office quite frequently,
In such a case, the head office finds it convenient to open a branch remittances account
The periodical total of this account will be transferred to the credit of branch account. If
the branch so desires, it can also open a remittances to head office account the periodical
total of which will be transferred to the debit of head office account. Similar treatment can
be made for goods sent to branch also.

BIS)
Explanation: At the end of each financial year the branch prepares a trial balance and
proceeds to close its books of accounts. The subject of closing the books consists of two
activities: (a) Closing of Revenue accounts; (b) Closing of Asset & Liability accounts.
Closing of Revenue Accounts: Two different methods may be applied for closing the
revenue accounts.
First method: Under this method the branch simply trans{@is the individual balance of various
revenue accounts to the H.O. Alc, thereby closing th lue accounts. The entries will be
as follows
1. | For debit balances of revenue items:
Head Office A/c &S Dr XXX
To Sundry Revenue _Alc’s. XXX
2. | For credit balances of revenu
‘Sundry Revenue A/c's Or XXX
To Head Office Ae XXX
Second method: Under this method, the branch prepares its own Trading and Profit & Loss
Alc and transfers only the Net Profit or Loss (instead of all the revenue balances) to the H.O.
Alc in the same way as Profit or Loss is transferred to Capital A/c in an ordinary business.
The revenue accounts are thus closed, and the Profit or Loss transferred to the H.O. A/c.
Closing of Asset & Liability Accounts: The balances of Assets & Liabilities may or may not
be transferred to the H.0. books. If it is decided to transfer them, the under mentioned entries
will be passed to close the accounts in the branch books:
1. | For Assets:
Head Office A/c
To Sundry Assets Alc
2. | For Liabilities:
‘Sundry Liabilities A/c
To Head Office Ac
Or
Dr
After such transfer, the H.O. A/c in branch books will have nil balance.
Note:
1. At the commencement of the next accounting period it is necessary to restore the balance
of Assets & Liabilities in the branch books by passing a reverse entry,
2. If, however, these are not transferred, there will remain a balance in H.O. A/c equal to the
net assets (i.e. assets less liabilities). Thus, in this case, the branch may prepare a
Balance Sheet

Explanation: The branch sends its trial balance (together with its trading and P & L Alc and
Balance Sheet, if these are prepared by the branch) to the H.O. for incorporation in H.0.
books. When the H.O. receives the branch Trial Balance, it proceeds to incorporate the same
in its books. The incorporation procedure may be broken up into two parts: (a) Incorporation of
revenue accounts of branch and (b) Incorporation of assets and liabilities of branch,

Second method: Under this method, Branch Trading and Profit & Loss A/c is prepared in
H.O. books which is merely a Memorandum A/c, and therefore, the entries made in this
account do not have any double entry effect. The only object of this Memorandum Alc is to
ascertain the net profitfloss of the branch. This net profitloss is incorporated (and not the
individual balances as in the first method) in the head office books by the following entry:

After such incorporation of Assets & Liabilities, the Branch A/c (in which adjustment entries
have already been posted) in H.O. books will be closed
Note:
4. At the commencement of the next accounting period, the entries passed for incorporation
of Assets & Liabilities will be reversed, and then the Branch A/c will again be restored
showing the opening balances of these items
2. Ifthe Branch Assets & Liabilities are not incorporated, the Branch A/c in H.O. books will
have closing balance equal to net assets of the branch.
3. While preparing Balance Sheet of the H.0. all the Assets & Liabilities of the H.O. and
those of the branch will be taken into consideration

were an extension of the reporting enterprise's operations. Generally, IFO carries on
business in a single foreign currency, ie., of the country where it is located. For example,
sale of goods imported from the reporting enterprise and remittance of proceeds to the
reporting enterprise
2. Non - Integral Foreign Operation (NFO): It is a foreign operation that is not an Integral
Foreign Operation. The business of a NFO is carried on in a substantially independent way
by accumulating cash and other monetary items, incurring expenses, generating income
and arranging borrowing in its local currency. An NFO may also enter into transactions in
foreign currencies, including transactions in the reporting currency. An example of NFO
may be production in a foreign currency out of the resources available in such country
independent of the reporting enterprise
Techniques for foreign Currency Translation:
1. Integral Foreign Operation (IFO): Following are the standard recommendations for
foreign currency translation
IPCC_Advanced Accounting_37e_Branch Accounts. 208No.4 for CAICWA & MECICEC MASTER MINDS )
a. All revenue accounts of IFO be translated at the rate prevailing on the date of
transaction. This will require date wise details of the transaction entered by that
operation together with the rates. Weekly or monthly average rate is permitted if there
are no significant variations in the rate except opening stock (op. rate), closing stock
(Cl. Rate), depreciation on fixed assets (rate prevailing on the date of acquisition of
fixed assets), goods received from HO(to be substituted with the value of goods sent to
branch in the books of HO subject to the condition that there is no Goods in transit),
b. Translation at the balance sheet date
i, Monetary items at closing rate.
ii, Non-monetary items: The cost and depreciation of the tangible fixed assets is
translated using the exchange rate at the date of purchase of the asset if asset is,
carried at cost.
The cost of inventories is translated at the exchange rates that existed when the
cost of inventory was incurred and realizable value is translated applying exchange
rate when realizable value is determined which is generally closing rate
iv. Exchange difference arising on the translation of the financial statement of integral
foreign operation should be charged to profit and loss account.
2. Non-Integral Foreign Operation(NFO): Accounts of non-integral foreign operation are
translated using the following principles:
