    Accounting Information System of Beximco Pharma

    An accounting information system is a unified structure within an entity, such as a business firm, thatemploys physical resources and other components to transform economic data into accountinginformation for the purpose of satisfying the information needs of a variety of users. In fact the AIS is a subsystem of a broader information system that encompasses allinformation generating activities. The AIS consists of people, procedure and information technology.It performs the following three functions in the organization:

    It collects and stores data about activities and transactions so that the organization can reviewwhat has happened.

    It processes data into information that is useful for making decisions that enable management to plan, execute and control activities.

    It provides adequate controls to safe guard the organization assets, including its data. Thesecontrols ensure that the data is available when needed and that it is accurate & reliable.

    This study has identified one of the major components of the accounting information system ofBPL Expenditure cycle, the technology, the output & users, and the control mechanismsrelated to this cycle. Some of them are input to the system, some work to process the input, andsome represent the output. Regardless of what they are, they work together to achieve the system'sobjective which is to satisfy the information needs of the users.

    Business events, also called transactions, are the steps, within the physical & financial

    processes of firms. We may group the business events of BPL into process sequences cal ledtransactions cycles. Most Organizations engaged in many similar and repetitive transactions.These transaction types can be grouped into four basic cycles, each of which constitutes a basicsubsystem in the AIS. These four cycles (or subsystems) of the AIS are related to one another andeach feeds data to the general ledger & reporting system that provides information to both internal &external users.

    Accounting Software

    BPL uses a computer software program called "MAPICS" for its transaction processing purpose."MAPICS" is the acronym of "Management Accounting Planning Information ControlSystem". The software was developed and launched in the market by IBM Corporation in1980. It is DOS based. MAPICS is batch processing software. In BPL transactions are entered in

    batches for a month and the batch is then posted and reports are generated according to pre-designed format. By structure MAPICS is a modular software. BPL uses the following modules ofMAPICS:

    General Ledger. Budget Preparation. Financial Ratio Analysis. Fixed Asset Accounting. Accounts Receivable. L C Monitoring System.

    Apart from MAPICS, BPL uses some other software for accounting purpose such as:

    Fixed Assets Management System. Payroll System. Inventory Control System. Sales and Billing System. Production Information System.

    All these softwares are developed by the MIS department of BPL and these softwares are notintegrated with MAPICS.

    Furthermore, MS Excel is extensively used by the accounts department.

    Expenditure Circle of BPL

    The expenditure cycle is a recurring set of business activities and related data processing operations

    associated with the purchase and payment for goods and services. The expenditure cycle of BPLincludes:

    A. Acquisition of raw and packing material

    a. Local Purchase

    b. Import

    B. Acquisition of fixed asset

    C. Other revenue expenditure

    The focal point of this report is to put light on the acquisition of raw and packing material form local

    and foreign sources and related accounting treatments. Acquisition of fixed assets and other revenue

    expenditures are discussed briefly.

    A.a: Local Purchase of Raw and Packing Materials

    The domestic purchase of raw material includes following business functions;1. Processing purchase order2. Receiving goods, material and services3. Recognizing the liability4. Processing and recording cash disbursement

    1. Processing Purchase Order

    The procedure begins with need recognition. The respective department identifies its need, getsapproval of the departmental head and with the approval an authorized person sends purchaserequisition to purchase department to initiate purchase. In case of property, plant and equipmentacquisition, before sending purchase requisition, a budget has to be prepared by the user department.If the departmental head or higher authorities, whichever is required, approve the proposed budget a

    purchase requisition is sent to purchase department. And in case of raw or packing materials, the

    planning department determines the quantity and timing of raw materials. This department informsthe purchase department when to buy materials.

    When the purchase department got the requisition, it calls for quotation or tender. After receiving thequotation or tender, supplier has been selected. The supplier may be local or international. If theterms and conditions are in favor of both BPL and the selected supplier, an order for the purchase isthan issued by the purchase department. In case of raw or packing material, the purchase order isissued by the factory. A purchase register is maintained by the purchase department in which they

    maintain all the required information relating to a consignment.

    2. Receiving Material, Goods and Services

    Generally the goods and services are received by the user department who has issued the purchase

    requisition or in some cases by the authorized department. Materials are received by Quality

    Assurance Department (QAD) in the factory. After receiving materials, goods and services an MRR

    (Material Receiving Report) is issued for material and other than material a GRR (Goods Receiving

    Report) is issued by receiving department to purchase department. In the mean time the invoice or

    bill is received by the purchase department.

    Before using the product by user department that is at the time of delivery, it has been inspected by

    the inspection team or QCD (Quality Control Department), by user department or by authorized

    department. QCD examined the materials on a sample testing basis and provide a certificate.

    Normally,

    I. QCD inspects standardized items like raw material, packing material etc.

    II. User department inspects non standardized items like services, stationeries etc.

    III. Inspection department inspects machineries, plants etc.

    Again at BPL there are some authorized departments for inspection. For example, computer or IT

    related products are inspected by IT department, furniture are by HR department. If the received

    goods, material and services are not according to purchase requisition BPL may

    Refuse the order

    Reorder the item

    Received on condition

    Before taking any action, there is a discussion between BPL and the supplier. After re-

    communication it has been decided whether the payment to the supplier will be made or not.

    3. Recognizing The Liability

    The purchase department compares the invoice/bill and MRR/ GRR/ QC with the purchase order. If

    every thing has been complied, the amount payable to supplier is approved by the purchase

    department. There is a seal on the invoice named Approved By with the signature of purchase

    manager. It means the purchase department is satisfied with the information mentioned in the bill. A

    copy of all this documents is kept by purchase department and the main copies along with copies not

    negotiable are sent to accounts and finance department.

    The accounts and finance department is then ready for giving provision voucher . An authorized

    person is liable for giving provision voucher. He examines the not negotiable copy of bill/ invoice at

    the time of giving provision voucher. Generally the liability is recognized when the vendor sends the

    invoice or bill. But in some cases it may be recognized at the time of goods received.

    4. Processing and Recording Check/ Cash Disbursement

    After a certain period of time when the date becomes matured for the liability the payment is made

    by BPL. The matured date has been calculated in the aged payable report for each vendor. The due

    amount for an individual vendor is identified from vendor business position report . In this stage

    another report is prepared for forecasting cash requirement. An individual person enters data in

    MAPICS for having this reports and forecasts. The same person checks the arithmetical accuracy,

    casts, cross casts, deductions and payable amounts. If the checking is matched with those reports

    checks are issued to pay vendor.

    The mode of payment is usually pre numbered check. In most cases the payment is made by payee

    only check. In some cases the payment may be made by cash or by bearer check or paid in advance

    fully or partly.

    Issuing check is a sensitive issue. It is prepared by that person who will give the payment voucher.

    And it is signed by senior management. The payment voucher is given by the same person who has

    checked the reports and payable amounts. This voucher includes original bills, MRR/ GRR, Vat

    (musok 11) and challan. It is recorded in the record book after the sign has been made.

    After all the procedure has been completed the check is given to vendor and the counter foil of that

    check is preserved by BPL. If the payment amount is large part by part payment is made.

    The inventories affected by import operations and related accounting are found in Note :

    Raw Materials Inventory Packing Materials Inventory Laboratory Chemical Inventory Raw and Packing material in transit Spares and accessories

    Internal report

    To serve the internal reporting needs the following reports are prepared: Accounts payable payment voucher Vendor ledger Vendor account balance Journal register

    Cash requirement report Aged payable Tax report VAT (Musok 11) report Vendor business position Report on purchase Report on payment

    Vendor account balance

    It is nothing but a report about the due amount payable to an individual vendor or a number of

    vendors on a certain date. The report includes vendors name, code and the total due amount.

    Journal register

    From this register management of BPL will get all related information of accounts payable

    transaction for a certain period of time. For example, if management wants to know about the amount

    of purchase of an individual vendor for a certain period of time with related deductions they can get it

    from journal register. Even the register also informs about whether any payment has been made or

    not and the due amount of that period. A sample of the register is given in appendix.

    Cash requirement report

    Its a managerial enquiry regarding vendors payable amount to forecast the current liab ilities. From

    this report management of Finance and Accounts Department can be informed about the cash to be

    paid to individual vendor for a certain period of time. A sample of this report is given in the

    Aged Payable Report

    Its a report about forecasting the maturity date of payable. It reflects the status of old unpaid

    invoices or vouchers. After the maturity date the payment will be made. The date will be matured

    according to purchase order contract. The reference date for age calculation is the voucher date or

    due date at when the product has been received.

    Vendor Business Position

    It is the evaluation of overall vendor position with BPL. In this report BPL generates information

    about vendors net due amount at a certain period of time. Fro m this report management can have

    knowledge about the amount of gross payable; amount of tax, Vat, payment and other deduction

    deducted from gross payable amount and the net amount has to be paid to those vendors on that

    period.

    A.b: Import of Raw and Packing Materials

    Another source of raw and packing material is importing from overseas market. For this purpose,

    purchase department must open a letter of credit at bank. It ensures the liquidity of foreign supplier.

    After opening a letter of credit, Purchase department maintains a file where all the related documents

    are kept separately for each LC and sends a copy of each document to the Finance and Accounts

    department for further processing of information and to prepare the cost sheet for the materials

    received against each LC. This file is called PC (pharmaceutical consignment) file. The finance and

    accounts department has three sections:

    Treasury Cost and Budgeting Accounts

    The processing of information related to import procurement takes place in the Cost and Budgeting

    section. For the convenience of the users I have discussed the whole thing into three parts. They are:

    Input Information

    Source of information:

    Three departments are involved in the entire materials procurement process.

    They carry their own responsibilities in this regard. The departments are:

    Sales Department Planning Department Purchase Department

    The entire process looks like:

    The planning department is concerned with the production planning and material procurement.After getting the sales forecast from the sales department, the planning department goesthrough the current stock information of different raw and packing materials. It prepares animport procurement schedule which helps them manage the procurement planning. The tabularformat of the schedule is too large to accommodate here. Therefore I am just mentioning thecolumn heads. The column heads are:

    General

    1. Material ID: 2. Name of the Material: 3. Procurement Time: 4.Unit cost: 5. Monthly Requirement:

    After considering this stock information it first calls for limited tender among the enlistedsources (local agents) for the supply of particular materials. The list of suppliers is kept in adatabase preserved by the planning dept. Within 15 days, the quotations are submitted by thecompeting suppliers. Then the planning dept. prepares a comparative statement and forwards itto the purchase department.

    Purchase Procedure:

    The purchase department is concerned with all the purchases of the firm. Usually the lowest bidder gets the offer to supply materials (considering their past performance, credit terms etc.).

    Then an Import Authorization Format' is prepared by the purchase dept. The format is then sentto the Director (commercial) for approval. The dept. then asks for pro-forma invoice (;in case

    of direct purchase from foreign suppliers) or indent (in case of supplies by local agents). Thenthe firm applies for `Block List' (for approval from Drugs authority) to import the rawmaterials. After doing all these prior works, the firm proceeds to open an L/C.

    The purchase dept. first collects a form of application for the opening of letter of credit from a bank. An LCA form (in quintuplicate) is also collected. After filling up these forms, they aresubmitted to the bank along with the pro forma invoice approved by the Block list of Drug

    Administration and IMP form of Bangladesh Bank. The L/C margin (a certain percentage ofL/C amount), bank charges and commissions for opening the L/C, insurance payment (if madeat that time) etc. are also made. The insurance covers all risks from the beginning of transit.

    The opening bank sends a copy of L/C to the advising bank and another copy is also sent by the

    company to the local agent or indenting company. The supplier then takes necessary measuresto ship the materials. It sends the non -negotiable shipping documents (copies of bill of lading /

    airway bill, invoices, certificate of analysis of each batch. Form-9, packing list, certificate of

    origin etc.) to the buyer (the firm) by courier within 7 days and submits negotiable copy of alldocuments to the negotiating bank. Then the supplier asks the advising / negotiating bank tomake the payment. After paying off the supplier, the advising bank asks the L/C opening bankto pay the amount within 72 working hours (3 working days). The opening bank then pays it offwithin the stipulated time. The bank then collects the L/C payment from the firm (applicant) onan agreed upon date. In case where the materials are borne in air transport, the firm needs theendorse copy document to get clearance from the customs authority after it reaches the airport.The Drug Clearance of invoice issued by the Drug authority is also required. The C&F agent ofthe firm is engaged in the goods clearance formalities. After getting the clearance, the materials

    are borne to the factory.

    Documents received

    Purchase department sends copies of all the relevant documents to the Cost and Budgeting section of

    Finance and Accounts department. The documents are kept in three types of files according to their

    purpose:

    PC File (For Raw and Packing Materials and Also spare parts for pharmaceuticalsmachinery)

    3. C & F Bill:

    The C & F bill is prepared by the clearing and forwarding companies. Different C & F agencies

    operate at different land, sea and airports. Imports are made through all these three types of ports.

    The C & F agent does the necessary formalities with the customs authority and sends the materials

    to the destination. They contain the following:

    Non Negotiable Premium Bill:Marine @ x.xx% XXX.XX

    This bill is prepared by the Biman Bangladesh Airline Authority (in case air port); the Chittagong

    port Authority (in case of sea port); Benapole Land port Authority (in case of land port). This is

    prepared for the dock or warehouse charges. For reporting purpose two types of information are

    extracted from this bill.

    Total DEM

    VAT on DEM

    5. Bill of Entry and Assessment Notice:

    These two documents are the most important in regards to reporting and accounting purposes. The

    Customs authority prepares this bill against the C & F Agency. It includes the information on the

    Duty and taxes and VAT payable on imported materials. In all the ports the same type bill is

    prepared without any exception because the customs authority uses identical software for all the

    ports. Some materials need to go through PSI (Pre Shipment Inspection); so they are subject to PSI

    charges. The detail of the duty and taxes and their rates are discussed in the later chapter.

    The bills include following information:

Because the amount that concerns is the L/C margin and the payment on L/CRetirement. As there is no direct transaction with the suppliers the original invoice is not needed forreporting.

    Packing List or Weight List:

    This list contains the detail information on the quantity of materials shipped; the number of packages;the type of packaging and the gross and net weight before shipment.

    Certificate of Analysis:

    Certificate of Analysis contains chemical analysis of the materials. The chemical contents, weight,color and other related information is disclosed and certified by the producing country are presentedin the certificate.

    Certificate of Origin:

    Certificate of Origin is issued by the trade body (Chamber of Commerce) of the respective countryand certifies that it is a product of their country.

    Form -9:

    Form-9 is required under the European regulation. All the countries producing chemical or pharmaceutical materials adopted it. This contains decoration from the producer regarding the permission to use the product which is licensed by them. It also sets the limit of using that licensed product.

    Airway Bill:

    Airway bill is just like ticket of the materials shipped. It contains the information on the materialshipped, the destination, the carrier and the airport of departure.

    Consignment Presentation Slip:

    Consignment presentation slip is prepared at the port by the port authority and certifies the possessionof the consignment. The slip includes following information:

    Part A: Consignment Details

    Part B: Examination Transfer to delivery warehouse

    Information Processing

    Information processing is done through three stages. The records and reports prepared in those stages

    are different. The stages are: L/C Opening Stage L/Cs in Transit Stage Post Clearance Stage

    L/C Opening Stage

    L/C opening process:

    The purchase dept. first collects a form of application for the opening of letter of credit from a bank. An LCA form (in quintuplicate) is also collected. After filling up these forms, they aresubmitted to the bank along with the pro forma invoice approved by the Block list of DrugAdministration and IMP form of Bangladesh Bank. The L/C margin (a certain percentage ofL/C amount), bank charges and commissions for opening the L/C, insurance payment (if madeat that time) etc. are also made. The insurance covers all risks from the beginning of transit.

    As mentioned earlier (see: 1.2.1) the accounts department gets copy of the L/C and the Banks

    statement mentioning other related cost. It is done through the foreign exchange account of

    BEXIMCO PHARMA held with different banks.

    Records and Reports:

    Various records are kept during this stage. Data related to L/C are maintained in two ways. They are: MS Excel Worksheets MAPICS

    MS Excel Worksheets:

    Two different sets of spreadsheets are prepared. The spreadsheets contain the following information.

    I am just mentioning the column heads of the spreadsheets and explanations where necessary.

    Claim for VAT Rebate:

    VAT rebate is claimed 100% on the VAT paid on cost of materials and VAT paid on warehouse

    charges. 60% VAT rebate is claimed on VAT paid on C&F commission. The law in this states as

    follows:

    Therefore VAT is claimed 100% on VAT paid on cost and DEM VAT and 60% on VAT paid on

    Total Global Taxes . The rest 40% is added to the miscellaneous expenses and the income paid on

    C&F commission is deducted from the miscellaneous expenses amount to match the total amount due

    to the Agent.

    The amounts for the journal entry are summarized in the spreadsheet (see part G). The journal entry

    is made as follows using the MAPICS software:

    *See Part J of spreadsheet for references of the amounts.

    Internal reports

    The most important destination of the accounting reports related to import of raw materials is the

    internal management. For efficient decision making the internal management is constantly is need of

    timely and appropriate reports on costing. To serve the internal reporting needs the following reports

    are prepared:

    The Cost Sheet:

    This is the most important report prepared on the import procurement process of raw materials. Cost

    sheets are prepared for individual raw and packing material items, as well as spares and capital

    machinery. Cost sheet is generated by the MAPICS software. It is the summary of entries debited

    through the journal voucher of L/C. It is used for costing and pricing decisions. The cost sheets

    B. Capital Expenditure Cycle

    BPL has a well-defined policy guideline for capital expenditure. This cycle involves acquisition of

    property, plant and equipment. First, the capital expenditure must be included in the yearly budget.

    Then the head of the department raising the capital expenditure proposal (CEP) must justify the

    proposal. A sample of CEP is given in appendix. The CEP includes following information:

    1. Classification of the asset such as new purchase or replacement of an asset.

    2. Description of the item

    3. Reason or justification for the proposed expenditure

    4. Economic life

    5. Estimated expenditure

    6. Budget provision for the proposed expenditure

    7. Suggested supplier

    8. Approval with signature of Departmental head, Director, Commercial and Director, Finance

    9. Final approval by CEO(Chief Executive Officer)

    Then the Director, Finance verifies the CEP along with the business research and developmentdepartment and the CEP is sent to the CEO for final approval. After getting the CEO approval,

    purchase department acquires the capital asset from the enlisted local or foreign suppliers. Accounts

    department records the transaction and makes the payment as per terms.

    Input Information

    All the necessary information for the purpose of recording acquisition of fixed assets are taken from

    Capital Expenditure Proposal, Purchase order, Budget prepared for this purpose, chart of accounts,suppliers bill approved by purchase department, Bill of entry, Assessment notice, L/C related

    documents for import of machineries.

    Information processing

    BPL initially records all property, plant and equipment at cost and charges depreciation over their

    expected useful life. The cost of acquisition of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directlyattributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use inclusive of inward

    freight, duties and non-refundable taxes. In respect of major projects involving construction, related

    Recordin As ects Of Ca ital Ex enditures:

  • 8/11/2019 Accounting Information Sytem of Beximco Pharma

    30/43

    30

    pre-operational expenses form part of the value of asset capitalized. Expenses capitalized also includeapplicable borrowing cost. Exchange loss is also capitalized as an addition to the cost of the asset.

    Expenditure incurred after the assets have been put into operation, such as repairs & maintenance, is

    normally charged off as revenue expenditure in the period in which it is incurred. In situation, whereit can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic

    benefit expected to be obtained from the use of the fixed assets, the expenditure is capitalized as anadditional cost of the assets. Software expenses are generally charged off as revenue expenditure.

    On retirement or otherwise disposal of fixed assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation areeliminated and, any gain or loss on such disposal is reflected in the profit and loss account which is

    determined with reference to the net book value of the assets and the net sales proceeds. The gain orloss resulted from disposition of an asset are treated as other income which does nor result from

    companys major operating activities and so are not included in gross profit.

    BPL charges no depreciation on land and uses reducing balance method for charging depreciation nrespect of all other fixed assets. Depreciation is provided to amortize the cost of the assets aftercommissioning, over their expected useful economic lives. Full year's depreciation is charged onadditions and no depreciation is provided on retirement, irrespective of date of addition or retirementrespectively.The annual depreciation rates applicable to the principal categories of assets are:

    Assets Rate

    Building and other Construction 10%

    Plant and other Machinery 15%

    Furniture and Fixtures 10%

    Transport and Vehicle 20%

    Office Equipment 10% to 50%

    BPL maintains a separate module named Fixed Asset Accounting in MAPICS where journal entries

    are given to record the acquisition of new asset, replacement, renewal and disposition of asset andrelated depreciation according to the rate. In the MAPICS, only control ledgers for principalcategories of assets are kept. For the purpose of keeping subsidiary ledger, a separate software namedFixed Assets Management System is used where another person gives entry for the same

    transaction. This is basically a duplication of work.

    Output Information

    Output information can be of two types: Information Affecting the Annual Report Figures or External Reporting

  • 8/11/2019 Accounting Information Sytem of Beximco Pharma

    31/43

    31

    Information for Internal Management or Internal Reporting.

    External reports:

    The entire process of capital expenditure and accounting for its related transactions affects severalheads in the Annual Financial Reports. Below I mention the affected heads with reference to AnnualFinancial Report for 2012.

    Property, Plant and Equipment Carrying Value

    The details of all property, plant and equipment are given in the Note #. In the notes to the financialstatements section, BPL discloses all the necessary information regarding property, plant, andequipment including the cost of the assets at the beginning of the year, additions and disposals in thecurrent year, adjustment on disposal, exchange loss, accumulated depreciation at the beginning of theyear, depreciation charged for the current year and carrying value at the end of the year.

    Internal Report:

    The sum of all assets is reflected in annual report. But for the preparation of budget and makingdecisions regarding the current status of each class of assets, periodic statements are prepared wheredetailed breakdown of each major class of asset are included.

    C. Revenue Expenditure Cycle

    The expense cycle of BPL is little difficult to describe because of the varying nature of expenses.

    For the sake of simplicity, expense cycle is presented here in a segregated manner according

    to the major types of expenses namely factory overhead, administrative expense and

    selling, marketing and distribution expense.

    Factory overhead

    The major types of factory overhead are salary and wages, power, insurance, stores and spares consumed

    repairs and maintenance, research and development, municipal tax and land revenue, telephone and

    postage expense etc. These expenses are incurred in the factory. Whenever an expense is incurred, it is

    reviewed and recommended by the immediate supervisor of the person incurring it. Then it is sent to thehead of the respective department for approval. After getting the approval finance and accounts

    department records the transaction to the appropriate cost center and makes the payment.

    Administrative Expenses

    The major types of administrative overhead are salary of the executives of head office, utility, rent,

    legal and professional fees, printing and stationary, AGM expenses, audit fees, entertainment, petrol

    and fuel etc. These expenses are incurred in different departments of the head office. Whenever an

    expense is incurred, it is reviewed and recommended by the immediate supervisor of the

  • 8/11/2019 Accounting Information Sytem of Beximco Pharma

    32/43

    32

    person incurring it . Then it is sent to the head of the respective department for approval. After

    getting the approval finance and accounts department records the transaction to the appropriate cost

    center and makes the payment.

    Selling, Marketing and Distribution Expenses

    The major types of selling and distributive overhead are advertisement, promotional expense,

    traveling and conveyance, training of medical representatives, books and periodicals etc. These

    expenses are incurred by the sales and promotion department. Whenever an expense is incurred,

    it is reviewed and recommended by the immediate supervisor of the person incurring it.

    Then it is sent to the head of the respective department for approval. After getting the approval

    finance and accounts department records the transaction to the appropriate cost center and makes the

    payment.

    Input information

    Input information for recording purpose is obtained from the respective department where theexpenses are incurred. Each department sends the bill to Accounts and Finance department. This billis used as the source document. After verifying supporting documents, a person records the expenseas overhead item through appropriate code in MAPICS.

    Information Processing

    After verifying supporting documents, a person records the expenses as overhead items or operatingexpenses through appropriate code in MAPICS. The appropriate code is determined by chart ofaccounts. Depending upon the nature of expenses, input is fed into the software against a code.Besides this, some other custom made softwares are used to record the advance payment to different

    parties including employees, utility expenses, event management etc.

    Output Information

    Out put information are of two types:

    Information Affecting the Annual Report Figures or External Reporting

    Information for Internal Management or Internal Reporting.

    External report

    In annual reports, administrative expenses and selling, marketing and distributive expenses are shownas operating expenses. Factory overhead is included in the calculation of costs of goods sold. These

    Recording Aspects Of Revenue Expenditures:

  • 8/11/2019 Accounting Information Sytem of Beximco Pharma

    33/43

    33

    information are reported in the notes to the financial statements. Related parts are extracted in theappendix.

    Internal reports

    A report highlighting the actual expenses, budgeted amount for those expenses and variance is prepared monthly for internal decision making.

    Internal Control for Expenditure Cycle

    The internal control of BPL for expenditure cycle is strong enough to detect, prevent and correct any

    errors and mistakes made in authorizing, recording, processing transactions and providing output to

    user groups. Some internal control mechanisms are discussed below:

    Authorization of Purchase

    As described earlier in recording process section, at BPL the user department sends purchase

    requisition to purchase department with the approval of departmental head. An authorized person

    checks that requisition and made the purchase order. Without purchase requisition no purchase order

    will be made. In case of materials, the planning department identifies the required quantities of

    materials and sent requisition to purchase department. And in case of fixed asset BPL required

    approval of CEO or deputy chairman. But before requisition a budget has been made for that asset. In

    each case there is a limit amount for ordering goods.

    The purchase order document contains a unique number. This unique number is used as reference for

    further proceeds. It also contains the signature of the person raising requisition. The purchase

    department is responsible for making the order only. It is not responsible for authorizing or receiving

    goods. It maintains a purchase register where all given orders are recorded with ordered item,

    quantity, unit price and suppliers name.

    Separation of Asset Custody from Other Functions

    Usually, the ordered items are received by user department. But in case of inventoriable item, that israw or packing material, it is received by factory. The receiving department produces the MRR/

    GRR. The same report is also used as inspection report. In case of raw or packing material, Quality

    Control Department generates Quality Assurance report. One copy of MRR/ GRR/ QA is kept by the

    receiving department, one copy is sent to purchase department and another copy is sent to accounts

    department. So the personnel are separate from each other. Again there is a physical control over

    item from their acquisition to disbursement. A cross departmental monitoring activity is a common

    scene here.

    The bank reconciliation statement is prepared monthly by an employee independent of recording cash

    disbursements or custody of assets.

    34/43

    Timely Recording and Independent Review of Transactions

    BPL recognizes accounts payable as its liability at the time of vendors invoice is received. Itrecognizes the liability by analyzing the following documents;

    Not negotiable copy of purchase order MRR/ GRR Not negotiable copy of invoice/ bill Vat report

    If the person is satisfied with those documents he will then give the provision voucher . This person

    does not have the access to handle the cash, securities or other assets.

    Authorization of Payments

    BPL pays its vendors after the date has been matured for payment. Normally the payment is made by

    pre-numbered check. A specially designed check is designed for this purpose. A separate person

    gives the payment voucher. Before giving payment voucher he checks all the documents and reports

    relating to that transaction and also examined that the bills are approved by purchase department. The

    payment voucher includes original bills, MRR/ GRR, VAT (MUSHOK 11) and challan.

    When the authorized person signs the checks, he just skims through the attached documents with the

    payment voucher. Normally these signs are made by managers or director of accounts and finance.

    Physical Security Measure

    BPL has instituted some physical security measures to protect its assets and records from being

    misappropriated or misused. For example, a gate pass is needed to take out any kind of

    moveable property both at head office and at factory, cash in transit is insured and cash at office is

    placed under lock and keys, all the records and documents are placed under the supervision of

    responsible company officials. The company has also employed closed circuit television (CCTV)

    system to monitor every entry and exit.

    Budgetary control

    Budgetary control is primarily used for the revenue expenditures. For each class of revenue

    expenditure, a budget is prepared for each month and the actual expenses are compared against the

    budgeted amount.

    Threats and Control Procedure

    Another function of a well-designed AIS is to provide adequate controls that meet the following

    objectives:

    1. All transactions are properly authorized

  • 8/11/2019 Accounting Information Sytem of Beximco Pharma

    35/43

    35

    2. All recorded transactions are valid

    3. All valid, authorized transactions are recorded

    4. All transactions are recorded accurately

    5. Assets are safeguarded from loss or theft

    6. Business activities are performed efficiently and effectivelyThe documents and records described in the previous section play an important role in achieving

    these objectives. Simple, easy-to-complete documents with clear instructions facilitate the accurate

    and efficient recording of transaction data.

    The following table lists the major threats and exposures in the expenditure cycle and the applicable

    control procedures that are placed in operation to mitigate them. The table is organized around the

    stages of the expenditure cycle.

    Activity Threats Applied Control Procedure

    Order goods

    Preventing stock outs and/or

    excess inventory

    1. To guard against these threats, BPL

    establishes an accurate inventory control

    system. The perpetual inventory method

    is used to ensure that information about

    inventory stocks is always current.

    2. BPL selects suppliers who are known

    to meet the delivery commitments.

    Requesting unnecessary items

    1. BPL is very much aware of purchasing

    items that are not currently needed. To

    ensure this, every purchase requisition is

    approved by the departmental head.

  • 8/11/2019 Accounting Information Sytem of Beximco Pharma

    36/43

    36

    Purchasing goods at inflated

    price or of inferior quality

    1. To prevent this, an open tender is

    arranged for the suppliers. BPL selects

    those suppliers who are capable of

    delivering highest quality goods as

    reasonable price.

    2. BPL prepares a monthly budget for the

    purchase of goods. Actual costs are

    compared periodically with budget

    allowance. To facilitate control, these

    reports highlight any significant

    deviations from budgeted amounts for

    further investigation.

    Purchasing goods of inferior

    quality

    1. To avoid the purchase of goods of

    inferior quality, BPL has established a list

    of approved suppliers known to provide

    goods of acceptable quality.

    2. In addition, supplier performance data

    is collected and periodically reviewed to

    maintain the accuracy of this approved

    suppliers list.

    Receive and store

    goods

    Receiving unordered goods

    1. Receiving departments accept only

    those deliveries for which there is an

    approved copy of the purchase order and

    matches the quantity mentioned in the

    purchase order with goods received.

    Stealing inventory

    1. Inventories are stored in secured

    locations with restricted access.

    2. All transfers of inventory are properly

    documented.

    3. Separation of asset custody from

    recording responsibility.

    37

    Approve and pay

    vendor invoices

    Failing to catch errors in

    vendor invoices

    1. Vendor invoices may contain errors

    such as discrepancies between quoted and

    actual prices charged or miscalculations

    of the total amount due. To detect

    mathematical accuracy of vendor

    invoices, those invoices are compared

    with purchase order and receiving report.

    Paying for goods not received

    1. The control procedure used here is that

    the person responsible for payment to the

    vendors compares the quantities indicated
