|
|
| Ramesh Kumar (Ramesh), accountant at Anirudh Furniture Spare Parts Limited (AFSPL), went on leave for 2 months (April and May) for personal reasons. Before going on leave, he assigned the task of revenue recognition for the two months to Avinash Kumar, his assistant. After returning, Ramesh found that the revenue recognition statement submitted by Avinash had not followed the actual guidelines that Ramesh followed. Hence, he started to reconcile the revenue figures by validating the record books and cross verifying with buyers. The present case study is helpful in discussing the concept of revenue recognition and the guidelines specified under Accounting Standard-9 - Revenue Recognition from the sale of goods.

Ramesh Kumar (Ramesh) worked as an accountant at Anirudh Furniture Spare Parts Limited (AFSPL), a furniture spare parts manufacturing unit.

Ramesh, who had been working with AFSPL for a long time, followed this process.
