what is factoring

Answer Posted / muniyaraj m

Factoring is a financing option in which firms raise cash by selling their accounts receivable at a discount from face value. Most factoring transactions made today actually are structured to be more like short-term loans with receivables pledged as collateral. Under this scenario, the firm pledging the receivables in return for funding still retains the risk associated with uncollectible receivables.

M/s ABC Brothers, which was registered in the year 2000, has been following Straight Line Method (SLM) of depreciation. In the current year it changed its method from Straight Line to Written Down Value (WDV) Method, since such change would result in the additional depreciation of Rs. 200 lakhs as a result of which the firm would qualify to be declared as a sick industrial unit. The auditor raised objection to this change in the method of depreciation. The objection of the auditor is justified because (a) Change in the method of depreciation should be done only with the consent of the auditor (b) Depreciation method can be changed only from WDV to SLM and not vice versa (c) Change in the method of deprecation should be done only if it is required by some statute and change would result in appropriate presentation of financial 6 statement (d) Method of depreciation cannot be changed under any circumstances
