			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As of April, 2012, Capital Allowances are set to fall to 18% per annum (on a reducing basis). This means should you invest £10,000 into a piece of machinery you will only get £1,800 in allowances during the first year, approximately £1,480 the second and so on and so forth (a total of £8,000 in allowances in 8 years).</p>
<p>And herein lies the problem with this system. What if the machinery does not last that long? What if it wears out in 4 years, not 8? What can you do?</p>
<p>In the past businesses wouldn&#8217;t have been able to do anything. Instead the cost of the machine would have gone into their &#8216;general&#8217; pool of expenditure with tax deductions lagging years behind the actual costs.</p>
<p>So, what has changed?</p>
<p>Fortunately, the Government recognised this problem and offered a solution: the introduction of &#8216;Short Life Asset&#8217; rules.</p>
<p>Under these rules a P&#038;M with an expected life of under four years could be examined in isolation and receive a balance of the cost as a tax deduction in the year it wore out.</p>
<p>However, these rules still did not accommodate for everything and created 2 new problems:</p>
<p>1. The shortness of the rule &#8211; 4 years is too short, meaning P&#038;M&#8217;s which lasted longer couldn&#8217;t benefit.<br />2. An election had to be made for each asset with each asset then being tracked.</p>
<p>So whilst these rules are all well and good for a £100,000 piece of machinery that falls apart after 3 years. These rules do not accurately reflect the fact that 1) most expensive assets generally last longer and 2) cheaper assets are too costly and difficult to monitor.</p>
<p>Luckily, each of these problems has been resolved by the Government and H M Revenue &#038; Customs.</p>
<p>What have they proposed?</p>
<p>Firstly the government has announced plans to extend the four year period to eight years. Secondly, if you can provide a convincing case to the HMRC, they will accept a Short Life Asset election for a &#8216;group&#8217; of similar assets. As the following example clearly shows:</p>
<p>If for instance a restaurant chain buys a thousand plates every year, (too many to keep track of), they could potentially negotiate a deal with the HMRC where each year&#8217;s expenditure is treated as an asset that will last for example three years. By doing so, the full cost can be set off against tax over the real economic life of the asset.</p>
<p>And this is great news for businesses that spend a lot of money on assets which last less than eight years. Under this new scheme, they can utilise Short Life Asset elections to help speed up their tax deductions and ultimately improve their cash flow.</p>

		<title>Double-Entry Bookkeeping Explained in Less Than 500 Words</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a centuries old system that still works (and is the gold standard) for keeping accurate financial records. But because of QuickBooks and other popular bookkeeping software programs that hide the double-entry recordkeeping behind the scenes, many small business owners and even bookkeepers themselves are left scratching their heads asking, &#8220;What is double-entry bookkeeping?&#8221;</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s quickly untangling the basics of how this classic bookkeeping system actually gets the job done.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, the whole double-entry bookkeeping system is based upon the Accounting Equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. This is what makes a Balance Sheet balance, and is a way to assure accuracy. If assets do not equal liabilities and equity, it means there is an error somewhere in the financial records.</p>
<p>Therefore, when a journal entry is created to capture a transaction in the financial records, it is entered twice (hence, double-entry). It&#8217;s entered first as a debit to one account and again as a credit to another account.</p>
<p>What are debits and credits?</p>
<p>Every General Ledger account has two sides (all accounts used to track financial transactions in the Chart of Accounts = the General Ledger). The left side is the debit and the right side is the credit. This never changes. But how the debit or credit entries affect the balance carried in an account&#8211;either increasing it or decreasing it&#8211;is not always the same. That is because the type of account determines the side on which the balance is usually carried.</p>
<p>There are 5 account types: asset, liability, income, expense, and equity.</p>
<p>The cardinal rule of journal entries is, for every debit to an account, there must be a credit of equal value to another account. Sometimes these debits and credits for a single transaction are split up among more than two account, but the total debits and total credits must ALWAYS balance.</p>
<p>If they don&#8217;t, it means the transaction is not entered correctly.</p>
<p>So, how do you determine which account is to be debited and which to be credited?</p>
<p>There are two steps:</p>
<p>1. Determine which two (or more) accounts are affected by the transaction</p>
<p>2. Create a journal entry to debit and credit these accounts accordingly</p>
<p>To accomplish step 2, you need to know whether a debit or a credit will increase or decrease the involved accounts&#8217; balances.</p>
<p>To know that, you need to know which side of each of the five main types of general ledger accounts carries the normal account balance, whether the debit side or the credit side. The short answer is, Asset and Expense accounts carry debit balances, and Liability, Equity and Income accounts carry credit balances.</p>
<p>Of course, if you had a cheat sheet to keep all of this straight, you wouldn&#8217;t have to try to remember it all in your head. You&#8217;d have the answers at a glance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Nobody&#8217;s profitable at this moment, because recession is here; advertising dollars are down, and expenses are way up. So that kind of belies the situation that you would expect, because the ratings are way up everywhere&#8221; &#8211; Brit Hume</p>
<p>The market scenario in these times has become very turbulent when the global economies have been failing at global levels. Many organizations are opting for cut back and various options that would reduce their operational costs to keep themselves afloat in any way possible. Many people have opted for having freelancers working for them to serve the instant need they have which would cut down their expenses to the highest limit. Contractor expenses are very low compared to hiring a full time employee who has to be given various benefits according to the law of the land. This is also beneficial for those people who need flexible timing to work due to constrictions created by their personal life or they just do not want to be tied down by one organization. There are many people who detest working on a schedule and prefer to have flexible timing of work which suits both the needs of the corporations and skilled professionals who could make a lot of money by investing a small amount of time in their field of specialization. This is the kind of situation that works out for both the parties who have specific needs of their own.</p>
<p>There are many people who have to stay at home because they have to take care of their family and they require special attention for survival like a single mother supporting herself and a young child. This is the kind of situation which allows her to make a living and tend to her child at the same time. When people are not bound to a schedule then they have the freedom to finish work in the least amount of time to get more contracts finished in the same amount of time. They can raise the level of their output to make the kind of money they would not have been able to make with a full time job. Hence, Contractor expenses are a boon to organization that are under financial burden and great for people who prefer their personal freedom. Organizations can ask specific questions pertaining to specific issues they have been facing in their daily functions and contractors can give counseling for a specific fee. This helps both the parties with their personal agenda &#8211; the organization does not have to pay full time fee and the contractor gets a bigger amount for his limited time spent on the job. They can also avoid the traveling expenses that add to many professional&#8217;s personal expenses which a freelancer can easily avoid from spending on a job.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is so easy these days to read about starting your own limited company on the internet and decide to go for it without a thought as to the consequences of not complying with corporate legislation, or about tax liabilities, effective tax planning, or even about how the company will be created &#8211; simply because it&#8217;s so easy to do.</p>
<p>When you trawl the web you will be faced with flashing banners telling you that a company can be formed for £29.99 within 24 hours. In fact, who in their right mind wouldn&#8217;t simply pay their money and start trading as soon as they have an idea or profession that will generate income.</p>
<p>The answer is that the unwary would launch into such a venture without a second thought, whereas the more prudent, thoughtful punter would take a step back and think about exactly he has getting himself into, and rightly so! Once the company has been formed, the average man in the street is no longer a run of the mill punter. He has transformed himself into a company director, a person with many new responsibilities.</p>
<p>For instance, from a financial point of view, our director will have to take account of deadlines for the annual return, he will have to inform Companies House when his company has started trading, he will have to become a bookkeeper (or at the very least pay someone to do the job for him), submit annual accounts, calculate his corporate and personal tax liabilities, plan in advance to minimise his tax liability, submit corporation and income tax returns, account for PAYE and national insurance,and so forth.</p>
<p>In short, our newly established company director needs an accountant. The problem is that local accountants tend to charge an arm and a leg to assist with the administration of a limited company, simply because of the tax planning opportunities that limited companies provide. The accountants want their share of the saving, and so they should as without specialist knowledge, no tax saving would be possible at all.</p>
<p>This where the IT Accountants come in. IT Accountants are specialist accountants that know the IT accounting industry and have an insight into exactly what&#8217;s involved. In turn they can offer a more competitive price due to the fact that they don&#8217;t have to add extra margin into the price in case they encounter any difficulties. More or less with the IT firms, there are minimal transactions per annum, the accounts are straight forward to produce, and a very cost effective solution can be offered.</p>
<p>Most can the specialist IT accountants can be found online and won&#8217;t necessarily be found on the local High Street. However, don&#8217;t let this put you off, simply scan your invoices and email then along with an electronic backup of your bookkeeping to an IT accountant that could be located anywhere in the country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tax is a critical consideration for all businesses, regardless of nature and size. If you have a business, you need the expertise of accountants to provide you with taxation services and advice. With sound advice, proper planning and strategic execution, you can expect tax exemptions and relief, which amounts to cash benefits for your business. Likewise, you can avoid tax issues and liabilities, which are inconvenient and costly on your part. Understand that the simple mistake of missing a filing deadline can already make a huge impact on the flow of your operations.</p>
<p>For the most part, your business is taxed based on how it was formed. A company is basically liable or subject to what is called corporation tax. Corporation tax is charged on all profits arising from the business operations. Trading income is taxed at 12.5% whilst non-trading income is taxed at 25%. Consult with your trusted tax accountants to learn more about applicable taxation rates for your business. Computing exact taxes up to the last penny can be a complex process when other factors are involved such as when the rate changes during an accounting period. Also, you must factor in expenses that can be set against your profits and thus result in tax deduction.</p>
<p>If you are a new start-up company, you might be eligible to tax exemption for the first three years of operation. There is an extension to this tax relief granted to newly start-ups that commenced trade in 2011. Your hired accountants can assist you with updates and changes to the Irish taxation law. Additional tax relief is granted if you are a start-up company with employed people. Starting from 2011, the amount of tax relief is based on the amount of Pay Related Social Insurance or PRSI you pay within an accounting period, capped at EUR5, 000 per employee. An accounting period is the period within which your business makes up your annual accounts; it should not exceed 12 months.</p>
<p>On the other end,if your business is not incorporated and you are operating as a sole trader, you are subject to personal taxation. If you are running a small business as a sole trader, profiting from rent, investment income, foreign income and similar incomes, you are to pay and file your tax returns on a specific filing date.To ease your burden of computing business taxes, filing returns and paying taxes on time, it&#8217;s best that you hire tax accountants whether you are a sole trader or a company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, not everyone is good in mathematics.Nonetheless, it&#8217;s pretty important to know that you need to have at least one individual in your company who is good with it for your company to have success.With an employed accountant helping you, you usually would not worry about your taxes and about how your money is being handled.Before you hire anyone, you must remember that not all accountants are compatible with your company.Since there are a lot of accountants available, it&#8217;s better to narrow down the list by using this guide.</p>
<p><strong>Your Suitable Accountant</strong></p>
<p>Never assume all accountants are exactly the same.You might notice this or not but each accountant has his own preference.If you&#8217;re a big company, you will often need more than one accountant.In order if you want to successfully pinpoint what kind of accountant you will be needing to hire, you have to identify first what tasks are needed to be done.</p>
<p><strong>His Area of Expertise</strong></p>
<p>Since each accountant has his personal specialty, you must know what it is in order to maximize his skills.Know by asking questions.It&#8217;s pretty normal to ask an accountant what he believes his strong suit would be.An accountant&#8217;s preferences would usually indicate what his area of expertise is.</p>
<p><strong>College Degree in Accounting</strong></p>
<p>What is the sort of education he had gotten from the college?It&#8217;s a fact that a school can not dictate how far a student will go.Nonetheless, a school would probably give you an idea what kind of knowledge he has.The specific things you ought to look for in the college would be his achievements and also how good the school is when it comes to teaching accounting.</p>
<p><strong>Experienced</strong></p>
<p>Should you take the time to speak with this person&#8217;s previous employers, you would certainly get an idea about his work ethic.Honesty is absolutely critical with regards to accounting because he&#8217;s dealing with the company&#8217;s money.If you&#8217;re looking at an unemployed candidate then you ought to investigate why he is still unemployed.An employee&#8217;s loyalty will often be described by how long he stays in a single company. In order to have an idea about this, look at his employment history.</p>
<p><strong>Proactive and Practical</strong></p>
<p>One of the best character traits that you can find in an accountant is that he&#8217;s practical.This same thinking would definitely apply in this case because you need your accountant to be really involved with his work.Many accountants aren&#8217;t doing their job because they think they will simply compute.It&#8217;s quite strange to have an employee who can&#8217;t help you in areas he&#8217;s specializing in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Success is not as elusive as you might think; it is actually manageable. Managing the success of your business requires smart budgeting and forecasting, something which accountants specialise in. It is not required that you fight it out alone. In fact you can have a team of professionals to support you in managing your business success.</p>
<p>Financial forecasting is of course no easy task. A lot of factors change over time, making the market more volatile than it already is. Nevertheless, the foundations of forecasting do not change. Planning your future can be challenging but being pro-active and planning ahead can enable greater success. It can enable you to set the course of your business to where you want it to be.</p>
<p>First off, it&#8217;s important for your financial forecast to be comprehensive. This means that you prepare all the projected financial statements that allow you to determine future levels of accounts, including profits and debts. With the aid of accountants, you can develop a financial plan that&#8217;s comprehensive and accurate, making forecasting a lot easier.</p>
<p>Two of the most critical projected financial statements are pro forma income statements and pro forma balance sheets, as well as projected cash flow. Pro forma income statements help you project anticipated earnings within a specific period. To derive this, you generally need to establish a sales projection, create a production schedule, determine other expenditures and then compute projected profit.</p>
<p>However, financial planning does not end with anticipating earnings. It is not enough to show forecasted profits because what&#8217;s more important is cash-on-hand. Thus, you also need to make projected cash flows and then present a plan for managing cash flow. Managing cash flow includes budgeting and you should look to contact accountants at any stage, if you need expert help in this area. Cash is what makes your business, or any business for that matter, so it is important to stay afloat.</p>
<p>Projected balance sheets on the other hand provide you with information on the expected cumulative changes to your business, particularly net worth. It is not enough to just see your company&#8217;s assets grow but it is also important to understand whether you&#8217;re incurring a lot of debt as a consequence, which may be bad for your bottom line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In most transactions based on accounts, periodic verification is done to make sure that the money leaving an account is equal to the actual money spent. This is confirmed by making sure that the balances tally at the end of a particular accounting period. In accounting terminology, the process of comparing two sets of records to make sure that they are in agreement is known as reconciliation. The sets of records that are compared in reconciliation are usually the balances of two accounts and so itself reconciliation process is also known as accounts reconciliation.</p>
<p>The comparisons done as the part of reconciliation are basically between the sums that are being put in and the sums that are being spent. It can be seen that each account that is being compared will be provided with a characteristic number. This number is known as work breakdown service number or WBS number in short. Work breakdown service number of an account is vital in determining the costs associated to it. When comparing two accounts, their respective WBS numbers are compared so as to make sure that they balance at the end of an accounting cycle. In the reconciliation process, discrepancies are indicated when the work breakdown service numbers do not balance.</p>
<p>Accounts reconciliation procedure is relevant for various types of accounts. A common business accounting system can be seen to deal with five types of accounts, they are, asset, liability, equity, revenue and expense accounts. These types of ledger accounts are usually considered in the procedure of reconciliation. Income statement accounts, which deal with revenue and expenses, are usually closed into equity accounts at the end of the financial year and their balances begin from zero all over again. Such equity accounts are known as retained earnings. In case of accounts that deal with assets, liabilities and equities, called balance sheet accounts, the balances roll from year to year and period to period.</p>
<p>Among the procedures adopted and followed so as to ensure the credibility of financial records, accounts reconciliation can be considered as a premium method. In addition to increasing the precision of financial reporting activities, a wholesome reconciliation process also permits the finance department to issue financial reports with higher assurance. Another form of reconciliation, which involves explaining the difference between the bank balance calculated by the bank and the corresponding amount shown in the organization&#8217;s records, is known as bank reconciliation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conducting a regular marketing breakeven analysis is something that is important for both big businessmen and small entrepreneurs to do. This form of business accounting will show you how much you have to earn to offset all your operating costs; past this point, you will start making a profit. The benefits of conducting a break-even analysis is that it allows you to see the relationship between your production costs and your expenses as well as letting you play around with these figures to determine how changes in costs, prices and revenues will affect break-even points and profit levels. However, the limitation of break-even analysis is that it is best suited to analyzing a single product, as it is easier to determine all the relevant factors required.</p>
<p><strong>The various elements of a marketing breakeven analysis computation are:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&bull; Fixed costs.</strong> Also known as overhead, these are normal expenses that do not change much from month to month. Examples include utilities, rent and insurance premiums.</p>
<p><strong>&bull; Sales revenues.</strong> These represent the amount of income you earn from sales. To ensure the accuracy of your analysis you need realistic sales forecasts based on the actual volume of business you expect rather than estimates of how much you have to sell in order to make a profit.</p>
<p><strong>&bull; Gross profit per product.</strong> This is the amount that remains after you have subtracted the production costs from the sale price. For example, if you have a product that is selling for $500 but it costs you $350 to produce, then your average profit per product is $150.</p>
<p><strong>&bull; Gross profit percentage.</strong> This figure tells you how much of the sale price represents profit. To illustrate, using the above example, the average gross profit percentage of your product is 30 percent.</p>
<p>Using these figures, we can conduct a sample marketing breakeven analysis to determine what your break-even point is. Assuming that your fixed costs are $10,000 a month, divide it by your gross profit percentage or 0.3; this means that you must earn $33,333 a month just to break even. If your expected earnings are less than this, it means that you either have to lower costs or increase sales if you want your business to flourish.</p>
<p>For example, after conducting your marketing breakeven analysis you might decide that you need to find a supplier who will sell to you at cheaper prices, have to increase your prices or find some other way to reduce your costs.</p>
