Accounting Methods:

  1. Direct Method: Each branch prepares its own accounts directly without consolidating them with the head office accounts.
  2. Final Accounts Method: This method involves preparing final accounts for each branch as if it were a separate entity, including trading and profit & loss accounts.

Introduction: As a business grows, it may open branches in different towns and cities within the country or outside it to market its products over a large territory and, thus, increase its profits. A branch can be defined as a section of an enterprise, geographically separated from the rest of the business, controlled by a head office, and generally carrying on the same activities as of the enterprise.
