Treatment of Empty bottles as Inventory

Accountancy

answered on 05-Feb-26 06:40

Sir, The Co.(Alpha Ltd.) Deals with sale of Flavoured milk, How can we consider Empty bottles in the inventory?? Of course we may have maintained separate account for them as its also An Asset, But How can it be treated as inventory??

latest answer

Those bottles are asset (given the significance in value) Since part of goods sold in ordinary course of business - treated asinventory. Think of it like Milk + Bottle as inventory. Milk sold separately and bottle sold separately

How to Prepare for Group 2 September 2026?

Exams

answered 17 hrs ago

Hi everyone. I gave my CA final group 1 attempt in January 2026. I am hopeful i can clear it. Due to articleship I couldn't give both groups. I completed lectures of group 2 well in July last year but i didn't revise it or start revising it. I'm in a 3 year articleship and my articleship ends in April this year. I have taken a decision to complete articleship first and give next attempt in September rather than May. How should i prepare for it keeping in mind IBS?

latest answer

Start with DT and IDT first. for IBS try to complete all case studies which will give you an idea of how questions are tested.

Disqualification of auditor

Auditing

answered on 02-Feb-26 20:32

Kindly confirm my understanding is correct, 1.A Chartered Accountant is disqualified if his partner is in the employment of the company in any capacityposition. However, in case of a relative, disqualification arises only when such relative is a director or key managerial personnel. 2. *If the auditor is an employee /director of the company and hold COP, he is disqualified in that company and holding/subsidiary/associate/fellow subsidiary. *If the RELATIVE is an employee (KMP)/director of the company, he is disqualified in that company but NOT in holding/subsidiary/ associate/fellow subsidiary. *If the PARTNER is an employee/director of the company, he is disqualified in that company but NOT in holding/subsidiary/associate/fellow subsidiary. 3.Auditor is disqualified to be employed when he himself or his partner or his relative holds substantial interest in the company as per clause 11 part 1 of schedule 1. what if the relative /parter be a director or employed in that company still the auditor is eligible to be appointed as an employee.

1st- it’s correct. He being employed is self interest threat and his relative would amount to both self interest and familiarity threat. 2 nd - partly correct Auditor being employee or director disqualifies him ONLY in that company Automatic extension does NOT apply to group companies under this clause Extension applies only in specific clauses (e.g., indebtedness, guarantees), not universally. Relative’s disqualification is restricted to that company No statutory extension to holding/subsidiary/associate/fellow subsidiary Partner’s employment creates disqualification only for that company 3- the laws should he read in conjunction with each other. So he will he disqualified.

Career Path

answered on 30-Jan-26 22:43

Hello Faculty Team, Hope you are doing well. It’s been a while since I last connected with you. I’m currently working with EY in the Statutory Audit domain. Over time, I’ve felt that the role is largely focused on compliance and documentation, and I want to explore roles that are more analytical and forward-looking. I’ve always had an interest in analysing stocks, so I’m considering a move into Equity Research. I wanted to understand how the career growth looks in this field and CAs are not considered for this role without prior experience, so what kind of upskilling would help (for example, CFA ? ). I’m also exploring FP&A as another option and would like your guidance on the skills or certifications required to move into that space. It would be really helpful if you could guide me on these options.

Sir, I have understood the concept of market price, market interest rate and yield to maturity, individually. But how it actually works in the practical world. Like, among the three - which determines which? I couldn't get chronological flow of work of the three concepts in real world.
