2.1 Historical Background of Rajshahi Sugar Mills Ltd. (RSM)
Rajshahi Sugar Mills Ltd. was established during 1965-66 with a cane crushing capacity of 1016
MTs sugarcane per day. The project cost was Tk. 487.87 lac out of which foreign currency was
Tk 390.69 lacs and local currency was Tk 97. 18 lacs.
In 1968-69 the cane crushing capacity was increased form 1016 MTs cane per day to 1524 MTs
cane per day. Consequently, The crushing was increased from 1016 MTs cane per day to 1524
MTs cane per day with a cost of Tk. 230.46.
Considering the potentiality and availability of enough sugarcane in and around mills zone
BMRE scheme, in two component, namely agricultural component and mills rehabilitation was
taken up with an estimated cost of Tk. 2541. 34 lacs out of which foreign currency was 1112.04
lacs. BMRE for agricultural component was started in 1983 and compelled in 1987 under. I.D.A
credit. The BMRE of milling component was started in 1991 with credit from bank through
Project Equipment Corporation of India. Total expenditure for this BMRE till date is Tk
2516.126 lacs.
Rajshahi Sugar Mills Ltd. contributed national exchequer from the date of liberation to date the
tune of Tk. 7520.69 lacs by way of direct and indirect taxes viz. income tax, excise duty VAT
etc. on top it Tk. 651.82 lacs was spent for development of socio- economic infrastructure of the
mills area in the form of road development construction of bridges and culverts, approach feeder
road etc and also for economic well- being of the cane growers of the locality. Since liberation,
the mill has not far earned a profit of Tk 3872.62 lacs in 17 crushing seasons and incurred a loss
of Tk 2648.03 lacs in 8 crushing seasons the mills was profitable up to 1990-1991 year.
Unfortunately the mills thereafter has sustained loss for the consecutive three years of 1991-92,
1992-93 and 1993-94 mainly becomes the selling price of sugar was net commensurate to the
cost of production and cost of sugarcane. The BMRE works had to spread over a period of three
years and the BMRE works and crushing of sugarcane unit on simultaneously as a result of
which both BMRE works as well as the rate of crushing suffered. BMRE works completed last
year (2002–2003) and the mills produced 23,009.00 MTs of sugarcane with a marginal profit of
Tk. 17.86 lacs.

Accounting in a practical matter. Accounting is a process by which overall result and financial
condition are unidentified and reviewed through recording the financial transaction of a company
and provided data to its users. The main purpose of accounting is to identify and review the
result and impact of economic activities of an organization. There are many definition of
accounting one of them AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) definition
is discussed bellow:
“Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a significant manner and in
terms of money, transaction and events which are in part at least, of financial character and
interpreting the result thereof.”
4.2 Accounting System
The accounting system is the major quantitative in formation system in almost every
organization. In other word, Accounting system, may be defined as the collection, compilation
and systematic record of business transaction in terms of money, the preparation of financial
reports, the analysis and interpretation of these reports and the use of these reports for the
information and guidance of management.
Accounting system is a principal means for facilitating the management process of planning and
controlling. Accounting system records activities as they occur and provides the feedback that is
so essential to any information system. Mainly two types of accounting system:
1. Separate Accounting system.
2. Integrated Accounting system.
4.3 Objectives of Accounting System

system has same objectives, which are mentioned bellow:
i) Internal reporting to mangers, for use in planning and controlling the current operations.
ii) Internal reporting to managers, for use in strategic planning that is the making of special
decisions and in the formulating of over-all policies and long range plans.
iii) External reporting to shareholders, government and other outside parties.

facilitated to the business management through determining some information.
i) A given period of profit/loss amount
ii) The assets & liabilities and net worth of the business at any time.
iii) Information which is must be provided to the government.
4.5 Meaning of Integrated Accounting System
When cost and financial accounts are maintain separately, it is necessary to reconcile the profit
shown by one set of books with that show by other than. An alternative accounting system which
would avoiate the need for reconciling the financial and cost accounts is known as integrated or
integral accounting system. In the other word, a single book-keeping system which contains both
financial and cost accounts is knows as an integrated or integral accounting system.
4.6 Advantages of Integrated Accounting System
An integrated accounting system has the following advantage:
a) There is no problem of reconciliation as there will only be one profit amount.
b) This system is economical and easy to understand. Duplication of work and labour are avoided.
c) Cost data can be presented promptly and regularly.
d) All cost data and accounts are automatically checked and thus cost figures are accurate.
4.7 Integrated Accounting for Rajshahi Sugar Mills
In July, 1967, the first integrated system for Rajshahi Sugar Mills was introduced after a study of
the then existing systems (i.e. separate system). It tried to correct four basic options which were
discovered in the old system namely non- uniformity of accounting methods and reports, absence
of a reliable method to determine the unit cost of sugar. The treatment of the seasonal nature of
the industry , and the need for effective budgetary control.
This latest revision of the original integrated system comes about because of the development
and extension of responsibility accounting and budgetary control. By Planning, Production and
Costs month by month for a financial year, by ascertaining the responsibility for those costs and
caling for explanations of variance from plan, and by employing a uniform code of accounts
together with uniform monthly report forms, the system outlined in the following pages is based
firmly on the original integrated system. New emphasis is placed on responsibility accounting.
The role of cost centres in controlling seasonal and non- seasonal expenditure is being
underlined.
Accounting Cycle
Accounting cycle may be defined as the cycle that carries the complete sequences of accounting
process which are repeated in the same order during each accounting period.
As soon as transactions take place they are recorded in journal and so the Accounting cycle
begins with the journalizing and concludes with the post closing trial balance. In its cyclic path it
performs other accounting procedures such as classification of business transactions,
summarization of those transaction followed by the interpretation and analysis of prepared
statement. This periodic repetition of the accounting process or system is referred to as
accounting cycle.
