General Accounting, Traveling & Tourism, and Air lines. Can
I change my Job from Accountant to Auditor- Please give me
right advise.

Answer

Buddy, I have seen all auditors to be a Certified or Chartered Accountants. The real accountants or auditors have Chartered designation. If you want to be a internal auditor than get Certified Internal Auditor certification or if external auditor than Chartered or certified Accountant designation. After having 20 yrs exp switching to another specialization will not be easy for you.

In general accounting any method of depreciation can be used for calculating accounting profit but while calculating corporation tax, Taxable profit is calculated and in that HMRC disallows depreciation on fixed assets.

Question { INDUS, 4181 }

what is asset under constractions

Answer

Asset under construction= fixed asset under construction in progress.

Quite Simply, a business cannot, must not, wait until a long term construction contract which lasts several years is completed before any profit (or loss) is taken to the financial statement. That would be a distortion of the truth i.e. the company performing the contract would have been successfully completing stages of contract and must therefore take some profit in financial statements as contract activity progresses (Matching Concept).
