Why we cannot depreciate stock
Stock item has only stock master no Ledger AC, so we can give only Provision for Slow moving stock, cant give depreciation. Depreciation is only for Fixed Assets
As per my knowledge stock is not our fixed assets, either it will be sold in future or will be utilized in production of some other products which will be sold in future to generate income for the company, hence it our current asset. And deprecation can be charged only on fixed assets.

A bank promises to pay on behalf of a customer, but where does the money come from? The bank will only issue a letter of credit if they know the buyer will pay. Some buyers have to deposit (or already have) enough money to cover the letter of credit, and some customers use a line of credit with the bank.

Under cash system of accounting, transactions are recorded in books on the basis of their actual payment or receipt made.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, the transaction are record on their occurrence in the business regardless of actual payment or receipt is made, and recognizes the assets and liabilities accordingly. provisions are made for all known losses and obligations are recorded for the period to which it relates to in the books.
Cash basis transaction is recorded when the cash moves from hand to hand, Ex:Rs.200.00 stationery purchased and paid. Accrual basis means transaction is recorded with out flow of funds from our hand, Ex:Raw material purchased on credit basis, all payables are comes under accrual basis.
In the cash basis account transaction are recorded only cash in flow or outflow (cash paid or received ). but in the accrual basis we consider as a actual paid or received in this case we consider rent due,outstanding rent, outstanding salary, prepaid rent, etc considered.

A fund flow statement or a cash flow statement records the changes in monetary funds over a period of time, usually by comparing the latest position at balance sheet date with the corresponding monetary position a year ago.
There are various elements of business that affect fund/cash flow. These include such things as increased sales, reductions or increases in debtors, longer or shorter times in paying creditors, repayments of loans, etc., a summary of which should be shown on separate lines of the statement. It can start with a section listing the elements that contribute to an increase in cash, then the next section lists those items which have contributed to a decrease in cash.
Space (and time!) does not permit more comprehensive details of what is needed and how to do it. You should consult a text book on Financial Accounting and look at the fund/cash flow statement of a company similar to the one for which you wish to prepare such a statement.
At the end of the fund/cash flow statement, if you have done all your calculations correctly, and taken everything that affects cash movement into account, your final figure will equal the cash figure in the balance sheet.
