INTRODUCTION
About summer internship
An internships provide an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in
institutions to practical work experiences related to their academic or career goals, in
other words it is an opportunity offered by an employer to interns, to work at a firm
for a fixed period of time. Interns are usually undergraduates or students, and most
internships last between a month and three months. It is usually part time if offered
during a university semester and full time if offered during the vacation periods. An
internship would give you practical skills, workplace experience and greater
knowledge of that industry, in exchange for employer benefiting from your labor. An
internship can be either paid or voluntary. The trend is increasingly (and rightly)
towards the former, as voluntary internships are often cited as exploitative. As you
would expect, internships that pay well are usually the most competitive.

The internship is a compulsory part of the BCOM(H). The most important thing is
that the university authority has included a forty-five days internship program in the
course curriculum after completing the program. Students must work in any bank,
financial institution, small business, or other public or private company related to
their particular academic requirements.

The organization is working as a Chartered Accountant firm under the rules and regulations and

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI or the Institute) was established as a
statutory body on July 1, 1961, under the Chartered Accountants Ordinance, 1961 to regulate
the profession of Accountancy in the country. ICAI is governed by the Council which consists

Financial accounting is a specific branch of accounting involving a process of recording,
summarizing, and reporting the myriad of transactions resulting from business operations over
a period of time. These transactions are summarized in the preparation of financial statements
—including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement—that record a
company’s operating performance over a specified period. Work opportunities for a financial
accountant can be found in both the public and private sectors. A financial accountant’s duties
may differ from those of a general accountant, who works for themself rather than directly for
a company or an organization.

Generally speaking, the accounting industry has much to offer to recent graduates in terms of
opportunities, career development, and advancement. Accountancy firms provide employment
and career development opportunities to accountants and auditors with a wide range of
qualifications. It is important to note that recent graduates who want to become future
accountants are not limited to working only for Big Four accounting firms. For example,
graduates with bachelor's or master's degrees can work in a wide variety of job functions
ranging from auditing or tax planning in public accounting firms to financial planning or
forensic advisors in small enterprises.
To have a good career development path in accounting does not mean that one needs to work
for a big player. There are numerous possibilities to become a private or management
accountant in profit organizations whose core business does not revolve around selling
accounting services.

Necessary Skills for an Accountant


To succeed as a professional accountant, you not only need to have good analytical skills and
the ability to analyze and interpret financial data to develop future business strategies but you
also need to possess good soft and interpersonal skills to communicate with clients, customers,
and business partners effectively. Once, you develop managerial abilities such as learning how
to supervise the work of others or direct less experienced individuals the opportunities for
advancement become present.
When you apply for accountancy roles in public accounting firms, medium-sized enterprises, or
large corporations be prepared to demonstrate the below skills and abilities to maximize your
chances of success:

 Analytical skills and strong affinity to numbers – show that you have the aptitude to
analyse, manipulate, and draw conclusions and recommend future courses of action

To become a successful accountant, you need to be willing to learn constantly and keep up with
latest regulations and legislative requirements. You need to be passionate about what you are

13 | P a g e
doing like everything else in life – it is hard to become good at something if you don’t have
passion for it.

CHAPTER -4
Learning Summary

THEORIES, CONCEPTS AND SKILLS

1. Record Transactions
Recording transactions for accounting entry in Tally Prime follow a simple pattern.
You can record a transaction with the following steps. A transaction for payment of
bank charges (expenses) is used as an example.

1. Press Alt+G (Go to) > Create Voucher > press F5 (Payment).
Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Vouchers > press F5 (Payment).
2. Press F2 (Date) to change the transaction date, if needed.
When you press F2 to change the date, the date shown is for the subsequent day
of the current date. This is done to avoid manual entry of date for the next day
as the immediate next day is the most common business day. You can however
enter any date, even a date before the current date.
3. In the Account field, select the Cash or Bank ledger.
When you create a Company in TallyPrime, the system creates two ledgers by
default – Cash and Profit & Loss A/c.
4. Provide the payment details.
a. Under Particulars, select expense ledger for which you are making this
payment.
As always, press Alt+C to create a ledger under Indirect Expenses, on
the fly, if an expense ledger does not exist.
b. Amount: Enter the payment amount.

5. Provide Narration, if any, and accept the voucher creation screen. As always,
press Ctrl+A to save.

19 | P a g e
In each and every transaction in the cash book follow the golden rule of accounting.
Nominal account- debit all expenses and losses, credit all incomes and gains.
Personal account- debit the receiver and credit the giver.
Real account- debit what comes into business and credit what goes out.

2. GST Invoice booking


An invoice is a key element of the sales process. It is the prime document that serves as a bill
for the service/s or product/s your business has provided.

As per GST laws, every supplier who has acquired GST registration in India has to issue an
invoice in the pre-notified format, while supplying goods or services.

Meaning every business transaction affected by nature involving removal of goods for supply to
recipient or provision of service to the recipient can only be executed by the issue of invoices to
the recipient, irrespective of whether such supplier operates such business online or offline.

Sales can be of two types:

 Local Sales on which CGST and SGST are applicable


 Intestate Sales on which IGST is applicable

Before making sales entries in Tally, one needs to create ledgers related to sales to prepare
a GST invoice.

20 | P a g e
Types of GST Charged in India
1. State Goods and Services Tax (SGST)
The State Goods and Services Tax is one of the GST types which the government of a

particular state imposes. The state government taxes goods and services within the state

(intrastate, for example Mysore), and the state government is the sole beneficiary of the

collected revenue.

 The SGST replaces various state-level taxes such as lottery tax, luxury tax,

VAT, purchase tax and sales tax.

 However, if the transaction of the goods is interstate (outside the state), then

both SGST and CGST are applied. But, if the goods and services are

transactions within the state, only SGST is imposed.

 The rate of GST is equally divided among the two types of GSTs. For

instance, when the traders sell their commodities within their state, they must

pay SGST and CGST. The revenue earned from SGST belongs to the state

government and revenue from CGST to the central government.

SGST Rates
Commodities SGST

Handloom, printed books, 0%


newspapers, Jute, fresh meat, fish
chicken
Common Groceries such as Tea, Salt, 2.5%

Spices, Sugar, etc.

Processed foods, 6%

electronic

Capital Goods, toiletries, etc. 9%

Premium luxury commodities 14%

21 | P a g e
2. Central goods and Services tax (CGST)

The Central goods and Services tax applies to the intrastate (within the state) supply of goods and services. The

central government taxes it. The CGST Act governs this type of GST. Here, the revenue generated from the

CGST is collected along with the SGST and is divided between the central and state government.

CGST Rates

Commodities CGST

Handloom, printed books, newspapers, Jute, 0%


fresh meat, fish chicken
Common Groceries such as Tea, Salt, Spices, 2.5%

Sugar,

Processed foods electronic 6%

goods

Capital Goods, toiletries, etc. 9%

Premium luxury commodities 14%

3. Integrated Goods and Services tax (IGST)

22 | P a g e
The Integrated Goods and Services tax is a type of GST, where the tax applies on the interstate supply of goods

and services. This GST type is also imposed on the goods and services that are imported as well as exported.

The IGST Act governs it, and the central government is responsible for the collection of IGST.

The collected IGST is equally divided into central and state government portions. The State portion of the IGST

is provided to the state where the goods and services are received

For instance, when the trader makes a supply between two states, the type of tax in this case would be IGST.

IGST Rates

Commodities IGST

Handloom, printed books, newspapers, Jute, fresh 0%


meat, fish chicken
Common Groceries such as Tea, Salt, Spices, 5%

Sugar, etc.

Processed foods electronic 12%

goods

Capital Goods, toiletries, etc. 18%

GST SET OFF RULES:


23 | P a g e
Let’s understand new GST set off rules with examples

Credit of

IGST - Rs. 200

CGST - Rs. 50

SGST - Rs. 50

Output liability of

IGST - Rs. 100

CGST - Rs. 100

SGST - Rs. 100

24 | P a g e
As per the earlier GST input set off rules, CGST & SGST credit can be utilized to set off the liability of
CGST & SGST, respectively and the balance can be paid through IGST credit. And the taxpayer has to pay
nothing in cash.

But, as per the new GST ITC set off rules 2022, IGST credit of 200 shall be utilized towards the payment
of output liability of Rs. 100 of IGST and Rs. 100 of CGST.

This will lead to the accumulation of credit under CGST of Rs. 50 that can be carried forward along with
this the SGST output liability of Rs. 50.

3. TDS (Tax deducted at source)


Usually, the person receiving income is liable to pay income tax. But with the help of TDS the government
makes sure that income tax is deducted in advance from the payments being made to the person. The recipient
receives the net amount (after reducing TDS). The recipient will add the gross amount to his income and the
amount of TDS is adjusted against his final tax liability. TDS or Tax Deducted at Source is income tax reduced
from the money paid at the time of making specified payments such as rent, commission, professional fees,
salary, interest etc. by the persons making such payments.
