Money Measurement – The Challenge of Convincing the Stakeholders |
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of the financial year ending on March 31, 2012, Ranganath wanted to present the financial statements of the auto ancillary manufacturing company he had started in 2011 to the banks which had provided him with financial resources. He gave them information with respect to the amount of revenues generated and expenses incurred. The information showed that he had fallen short of the expected revenues and that expenses were higher than budgeted.
The main reason for higher expenses was the quality manpower that Ranganath had nurtured during the year by investing on their training and the amount he had invested in R&D. With the bankers calling for a meeting before releasing additional funds, Ranganath needed to convince them about the future prospects of his business.
The case study can be helpful in discussing the nature of business transactions and application of the money measurement concept. The case can also be used to differentiate between qualitative and quantitative information and the kind of information that financial statements can communicate to stakeholders.

| Introduction |
| At the end of the financial year ending on March 31, 2012, Ranganath wanted to present the financial statements of his manufacturing company to the stakeholders who had provided him with additional financial resources to run his business operations. Though he was able to provide the information with respect to the amount of revenues generated and expenses incurred, he could not convince them about the extra expenses incurred during the year. These were the expenses incurred on recruiting quality human resources that had played a key role in the success of the business during the financial year.. |
