Securities Market and Need for a Regulator:
Amid many debates and differences, all economists agree that Securities market plays a vital role in the development of any economy. The Securities market is the backbone of an economy. Without a sustainable securities market, an economy cannot get the required finance to fund the development projects. Hence, for any economy to survive and grow in long run the presence of a well regulated and transparent securities market is a must. India is no exception to this fact. It is only through securities market that even a common man in India can become an investor in a multi-national company. The securities market ensures that savings are properly channelized so that sufficient finance is available where it is needed the most.

2017The modern accounting system of double entry book keeping is based on certain principles and standards. One of them is the concept of matching costs with the revenue or benefits derived from such costs. However, in real life business scenario, not all income and costs directly match up with the goods and services sold or the assets purchased. In many cases, the cost is incurred at present but value received from such expenditure is actually delayed over time. According to generally accepted accounting principles, money and value should be matched whenever possible. This means that a business must account for expenditures that may not immediately generate profit in the current accounting period.
While revenue expenditure is a simple concept, deferred revenue expenditure is slightly more complicated. In this case, the value received from the expenditure is not immediate.
