My Question for today is,

IS there any rule for creation of ledger head. I mean on what basis should a ledger head such as repairs and maintanance account, Salary account etc be created. how specific should the expense be?

Could a company maintain accounts such as Factory expense account, contracting expense account etc, which are very vague and doesnot explain the specific nature of account?

I remember that in some rule or act it says if expense is more than 1% or 10% of the total revenue then the same should be shown seperately under a seperate ledger head, i just donot know where i have read that and how it is applicable
