3. ACCOUNTING
 Accounting may be defined as the process of
recording, classifying, summarizing and interpreting
the financial transactions and communicating the
results there of to the persons interested in such
information.

4. BUSINESS ENTITY CONCEPT
A business and its owner should be treated separately as
far as their financial transactions are concerned. The
business and its owner(s) are two separate entities
GOING CONCERN CONCEPT
It is assumed that the entity is a going concern, i.e., it will
continue to operate for an indefinitely long period in future
and transactions are recorded from this point of view.

5. MONEY MEASUREMENT
CONCEPT
• Inaccounting, a record is made only of those
transactions or events which can be measured and
expressed in terms of money
• Non monetary transactions are not recorded in accounting
ACCOUNTING PERIOD CONCEPT
Each business chooses a specific time period to complete a
cycle of the accounting process—for example, monthly,
quarterly, or annually—as per a fiscal or a calendar year.

6. COST CONCEPT
• The fixed assets of a business are recorded on the basis
of their original cost in the first year of accounting.
•Subsequently, these assets are recorded minus
depreciation.
•No rise or fall in market price is taken into account.
•The concept applies only to fixed assets.
DUAL ASPECT CONCEPT
•For Every Debit, there is a Credit
•Every transaction should have a two-
sided effect to the extent of same amount

7. Profit is earned when goods or services are
provided/transferred to customers. Thus it is incorrect to
record profit when the order is received or when the
customer pays for the good.
REALIZATION CONCEPT
MATCHING CONCEPT
The matching principle ensures that revenues and
all their associated expenses are recorded in the
same accounting period.

8. MATERIALITY CONCEPT
•Only those transactions, important facts
and items are shown which are useful and
material for the business. The firm need not
record immaterial and insignificant items.
FULL DISCLOSURE PRINCIPLE
•Financial Statements and their notes
should present all information that is
relevant and material to the user’s
understanding of the statements.

9. CONSERVATISM CONCEPT
•Anticipate No Profits but Provide for all Losses.
•Accountant should always be on side of safety.
•Example: making provisions for doubtful debts,
depreciation etc.
CONSISTENCY CONCEPT
•The accounting practices and methods should
remain consistent from one accounting period to
another.
•Whatever accounting practice is followed by the
enterprise, it should be followed on a consistent
basis from year to year.

10. DOUBLE-ENTRY SYSTEM
 Modern Accounting System is based on double entry
system which is based on the fundamental accounting
equation :
Assets=Liabilities + Equity.
 The double-entry accounting system ensures that the
accounting equation always remains in balance.
 Debits must be equal Credits.
 The system is called Double Entry because every
business transaction has dual aspect and affects at least
two accounts. Every transaction must contain at least one
account debited and at least one account credited thus
posted in at least two different ledger accounts.

11. CONVENTIONAL VS DOUBLE-ENTRY

43.  Cadbury Schweppes is a major international
company that manufactures, markets and sells
confectionery and non-alcoholic beverages.
 Limited companies (those owned by shareholders)
are required by law to produce Financial
Statements.
 These statements must be published and made
available to shareholders as part of a company
report.
 Cadbury Schweppes aims to produce clear financial
statements that give a valuable insight into the
company's strategy and performance.

44.  The legal responsibility for producing financial
statements that present an accurate picture of the
company's performance over the period lies with the
company's directors.
 These statements must be checked by an external
audit, where the company hires a firm of accountants
to verify that it provides a true and fair record and
complies with legal requirements.
 Cadbury Schweppes, include reports to
shareholders on their success in meeting self-set
financial goals within their financial statements. The
three main Financial Statements are:
 Profit and Loss Account
 Balance Sheet
 Cash Flow Statement.

45. ESTABLISHING FINANCIAL GOALS
 Businesses need to have a clear direction to work
towards, so that their employees know what they are
seeking to achieve and what they need to do.
 The directors of a company establish financial goals
which are used by investors, financial analysts and
other external parties to monitor the performance of a
company.
 Cadbury Schweppes has established three
performance goal ranges for the period 2004-2007.
These are:
 Net Sales Value (NSV) growth of between 3% and 5%. NSV
growth refers to the growth in sales of the company

46.  Operating margin growth of between 50 and 75 basis
points per year. Operating margin growth refers to
making more profit for each $1 of sales made - for
example by buying ingredients and packaging
materials as efficiently as possible.
 Free cash flow of $1.5 billion over the four-year
period.
 Free cash flow reflects how much cash is generated
within the business, for example by increasing profits.
 Free cash flow is important to enable the company to
have the money available to meet its financial
commitments.

47. CADBURY SCHWEPPES PROFIT AND LOSS
ACCOUNT
 A Profit and Loss Account is a table compiled at the
end of an accounting period, to show gross and net
profit or loss.
 A simplified version of Cadbury Schweppes' Profit
and Loss Account for 2004 is shown here:

49.  The Profit and Loss Account shows a summary of
the transactions of the business for a period of one
year.
 The top line shows that the sales revenue from
products such as Dr Pepper, Halls, Schweppes,
Trident and Cadbury Dairy Milk, came to $6,738
million.
 Costs were involved in making these products - the
cost of raw materials such as cocoa, packaging,
transport, staff salaries, advertising, etc. The
production costs added up to $5,668 million. These
are deducted from revenue because they are paid
out. It is common to show negative values in
brackets in financial statements.
 Cadbury Schweppes owns a share of some other
companies - raising additional income.

50.  Cadbury Schweppes has borrowed money, for
example, to buy new companies. It must pay interest
payments on these loans.
 Cadbury Schweppes must pay Corporation Tax to
the government .This is a tax on profits. Once tax
has been deducted the profit for the year is $547
million.
 The profit for the year is the amount of profit after all
external costs are deducted. The profit for the year is
then used to either pay a dividend to shareholders or
is retained by the company in its reserves, for future
use.
 Finally, a calculation is set out of Earnings per Share
- the profit divided by the number of shares in the
company..

51. THE BALANCE SHEET
 To understand the financial position of Cadbury
Schweppes at a moment in time, it is necessary to
'freeze' the values of various financial components.
These values, or balances, are used to set out the
Balance Sheet.
 The chart shows a summarized Cadbury
Schweppes Balance Sheet for 2004.

53.  Fixed assets consist of two main elements.:
 Intangible Assets are ones that help to generate wealth for
the business over time but don't have a physical
presence. For example, a major intangible for Cadbury
Schweppes is the 'goodwill' associated with brands that it
has acquired.
 Tangible assets are those that exist physically; these
include the costs of factories and machinery used to make
the products and the offices that the staff work in around
the world.
 Current assets consist of stock (Inventories), trade
and other receivables, and cash. After production,
supplies of chocolate and sweets are stored for a
short period of time until a customer makes an order
when they are delivered to wholesalers and
supermarket chains

54.  Current liabilities consist of any payments that
Cadbury Schweppes must pay out in the short-term
(typically under a year) such as payments to
suppliers for cocoa and sugar. In addition, it would
include short-term borrowings and overdrafts.
 Non-current liabilities consist primarily of bank
loans, money owed to employees to pay their
pensions, etc.
 The net assets/liabilities figure is then calculated by
deducting the two main types of liabilities from the
two main categories of assets.

55.  The final section of the Balance Sheet shows the
amount of shareholders' funds. This is the price
paid by the shareholders for their initial share capital
and the retained profits made by the company.
 At the end of 2004 the net assets of Cadbury
Schweppes and thus the total equity (shareholders'
capital) was $2,300m

56. RATIO ANALYSIS(PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS)
 Operating profit ratios are determined from a
company's financial information and used for
comparison purposes, e.g. operating profit to sales.
This can be set out in the form-
 Operating Profit : Revenue. Alternatively, it can be set
out as a percentage.

57. CURRENT RATIO
 This ratio shows whether the company owes more
money to its suppliers and bankers than the assets
it holds in the form of stocks, debtors and cash.
 If this number is less than 1, then the company's
short-term or liquid assets are greater then its
short-term liabilities.
 If you refer back to the Balance Sheet, you can see
that the current ratio for Cadbury Schweppes is as
shown in this diagram

58. CONCLUSION
 Cadbury Schweppes prepares financial statements
because:
 As a listed company, it is legally required to do so.
 Cadbury Schweppes wants to communicate a true
and fair picture of the financial state of the company
to its shareowners and external analysts.
 The company values transparency and honesty and
aims to reflect this is all its communications, both
internally and externally.
