Financial Statement Preparation
Bala Sir welcomed the ladies for the next session. He said, we are now ready to re-construct our financial statements, from the journal entries and the T-accounts we have prepared so far. First of all, he urged them to look at the Cash Flow Statement. As you would see soon, we have all the necessary details in the T-account for Cash for developing our cash flow statement. He reproduced the Cash account below. He also gave them the basic structure for preparing the Cash Flow Statement.
A Rare book - Dhevaiula
on Ramanathaswami
This classical work on Sri Ramanatha Swami of Rameswaram was composed by “Palapattadai Chokkanatha Pillai”. This work was discovered by Sri U.Ve. Saminatha Iyer after comparing multiple versions. He also wrote a commentary on this rare text.
With the blessings of Lord Ramanatha Swami, Mother Parvathavardhini and Lord Rama, here is an attempt to provide a reasonable translation of this work, in English. Any error can be ascribed to me.
