Posted in Finance on December 16th, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

Auditors are highly recognised financial professionals who are involved in any kind of business where finances require proper consideration. Auditors help in different financial activities that are carried out in an organisation. Many people get confused between auditors ad chartered accountants. They take both of them as one and the same thing, but auditors are very different from chartered accountants when it comes to carrying out their services. Chartered accountants help you managing your finances whereas auditors keep a check on chartered accountants for any mistake or fraud and help in transparent handling of the finances.

Big organisations have their own auditors who look into the handling of finances from time to time whereas small business can hire auditors from outside by paying their visit fees. There are a number of auditors who visit organisations randomly to cross check their records of all the financial transactions. They are certified auditors who offer their services by charging fee for it. If a company cannot afford a full time auditor it can hire the certified auditors from outside who will provide their services by charging a particular amount as their fees. Always get all the details before you actually hire a particular auditor for your company.

Individual Voluntary Arrangement- A Short Briefing

Posted in Finance on December 6th, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

The Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) was introduced with the object of providing a preventive measure against bankruptcy. Thus, it is an alternative scenario of bankruptcy since IVA is intended to avoid the situation of bankruptcy through a mutual negotiation of creditors’ claims between the individual and his creditors. An IVA program can meet the claims relating to personal loans, credit card balances and various other types of “buy now, pay later” unsecured loans.

An IVA is a legally binding contract between a debtor and his or her creditors. It enables an individual to give a formal proposal to his or her creditors to settle a debt after negotiation within a stipulated period of time. However, the agreement between the indivisual and his creditors lasts for five years..

An insolvency practitioner (IP) will help put the proposal to creditors and negotiate an agreement. The debtor will have to disclose full details of his or her financial circumstances.

If more than 75 per cent of the creditors accept the terms of the proposal, it is binding on all the creditors. Creditors can put forward changes to the proposal but the debtor can decide whether or not to accept them.

An overview on Tax Refund

Posted in Finance on July 21st, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

We very well know that whatever income we get annually we have to give certain amount to the government as Income Tax. When an employee gets his/her income they usually receive that income after the deduction of TDS from it. Basically whatever amount of tax payment is to be made, if that amount is less than the already paid tax then the government refunds back that amount in the form of Tax Refund. If the person has a liability of paying more tax than the already paid tax, the tax payer can get rid of his/her liability later.

Tax Refund is basically an amount of that money which is returned back to the assesses on excess payment. It also helps in reducing the amount of tax to be paid before paying. Tax Refund is basically one’s own right which he/she gets without any problem if excess tax is paid. People often fear of showing their correct income in the return file, but they must know that if they are loyal to their return file they will benefit their ownself in the form of Tax Refund. This might help them in increasing their savings. “Hence be loyal to your return file and enjoy the Tax Refund”.
