10+1
RATIONALE
The course in Accountancy is introduced at +2 stage of Senior Secondary
education, as formal commerce education is provided after first ten years of schooling
With the fast changing economic scenario and business environment in a state of
continuous flux, elementary business education along with accountancy as the
language of business and as a source of financial information has carved out a place for
itself at the Senior Secondary stage. Its syllabus content should give students a firm
foundation in basic accounting principles and methodology and also acquaint them with
the changes taking place in the presentation and analysis of accounting information
keeping in view the development of accounting standards and use of computers
Against this background, the course puts emphasis on developing basic understanding
about the nature and purpose of the accounting information and its use in the conduct of
business operations This would help to develop among students logical reasoning,
careful analysis and considered judgement
Accounting as an information system aids in providing financial information. The
emphasis at Class XI is placed on basic concepts and process of accounting leading to
the preparation of accounts for a sole proprietorship firm. Computerised accounting is
becoming more and more popular with increasing awareness about use of computers in
business, Keeping this in view, the students are exposed compulsorily to the basic
knowledge about computers and its use in accounting in the same year
