The Scenario
The following financial extracts are made available to you by the chief accountant of your organisation. You
are supposed to analyse each of the following extracts provided to you and prepare the required financial
statements as the heading signifies for the financial year ending Dec 2023 as part of your ensuing performance
appraisal for the same year 2023. The same financial extracts are made available to another team for the same
purpose. Therefore, this task will be significant to you to drag the opportunity being posed by the
organisation.
The financial statements prepared by both the teams will qualify to go for a review under the chief accountant
who will then decide the promotion and the pertinent monetary benefits available to you as per the staff
promotion policy. However, any ambiguities relating to the information provided to you is subject to scrutiny
by the team of experts. Hence, you can discuss the financial material made available to you with the team of
experts attached to you.
