A company has been charging depreciation as per Company law rates till 31.03.2012. Now the management is of the opinion that the said rates have to be increased. Can you please tell me what the accounting treatment will be. Is this just a case where the company can go ahead and charge the said higher depreciation on the written down value of the assets as on 1.04.2013 or anything else needs to be done. Obviously we have to make a disclosure in the notes stating reasons for the higher rate of depreciation. Please advice

Why is the balance sheet of a proprietorship firm prepared seperately and not together with the propreitor?? The propritorship firm has no seperate legal status. I have come across rare cases where balance sheet of proprieotr and propritorship firm were prepared together. Whereas in most cases both the balance sheets are prepared seperately. Hence what could be the possible reasons behind preparing seperate balance sheet of a propritor and a propritorship firm.

Thanks and Regards
