What is accounting entity concept? why is it important in
Accounting.

Answer Posted / h.r. sreepada bhagi

As per the Business Entity concept, the business
unit/firm/company has a distinct existence from it's owners.
Hence the personal transactions of the
proprietor/partner/shareholder should not be mixed with the
business transactions. From this view point, the owner,
partner or the shareholder is also a creditor to the extent
of money invested by them in the business or in other words
the net-worth of the business entity.
Importance lies in the fact that the effectiveness of the
business can be measured irrespective of who has put in the
money (Income generating ability). Further in order to
comply with statutory requirements of certain types of
business organisations also this concept is necessary.

Does anybody know anything about BirlaSoft? I got a job offer, they sent me a contract to sign and return, but thank God they didn't ask for any money! But, they said they would send me a check in the mail. And as my first "task" I would have to use that check to order a bunch of accounting software, and I would need to purchase this software ONLY from the vendors that THEY provide. Is this a scam to just get money? I'm wondering if they "own" the vendor they "work" with and launder money that way. I asked the person who was getting my information, as far as my name and address to send the check to, Why would I have to buy software to install in my home computer anyway? Couldn't they just send me a link for the software to download? I'm afraid of the check being fake. Because, if I deposit the check into my checking account and it turns out to be fake, then I'll owe the bank all that money! Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks.
