17 February 2010 Dear friend

Accounting standard (AS) is the standard for how to do accounting for various transactions. Simply standard means how to do things practically like manufacturing standards that means how to manufacture a product.

As I explained that is important because you have to know how to feet any transaction in accounting system. How to recognise which a/c debited and which a/c credited.
