Significant Accounting Policies

As per the Accounting Standards, Companies are required to disclose the accounting policies followed by them while preparing the financial statements. Also, any change in the accounting policies, which has a material effect in the current period or which is reasonably expected to have a material effect in later periods needs to be disclosed.

Now, significant accounting policies can be disclosed in Tally.ERP 9. A pre-defined list of policies has been provided. The user can choose to retain, modify or remove policies from the list. Also, new policies can be added as per company’s disclosure requirements.
