Book Description
Excerpt from Railway Accounting Under Federal Requirements Railway Accounting Under Federal Requirements Railway accounting consists in the combining, assembling and classifying of the hundreds of thousands of transactions of a railway company monthly, into a condensed statement which shall exhibit to the executive officers of the railway and to others interested the assets and liabilities of the company, and the income account. In theory, the matter is quite simple, but in practice it is complicated because of the large volume of transactions and the diversified character of the transactions. On one railroad, which is probably a fair sample of the larger railroads of the country, this data must be gathered from 1, 500 foremen of section gangs and extra gangs, more than 1, 000 station agents for both freight and passenger traffic, more than 1, 000 conductors of freight and passenger trains, hundreds of foremen of shop gangs, bridge gangs, building gangs, telegraph line repair gangs; in fact, it will cause but a moments reflection by you men of experience to realize the vast multitude of items that must be classified and gathered from all parts of a railroad into one simple statement which will reflect the financial condition of the company, and the result of its operation. However numerous these items may be, they affect but three general divisions of the accounts; viz., assets, liabilities, and the income account. The balance of income is finally carried to the balance sheet which exhibits the assets on one side and the liabilities on the other. Therefore, when an item comes before us for classification, we consciously or unconsciously classify it as affecting an asset, a liability, or the income account.

Book Description
Excerpt from Railroad Accounting Sinoe railroad companies engaged in interstate com merce are required by law to keep their accounts in accord ance with the rules prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, these rules must necessarily form the basis of any treatise on railroad accounting. I have not made any attempt to discuss the question of whether or not these rules are the best that might be devised. It is not of so much importance to the investor who desires to make an intelligent study of a railroad company's annual report that the system of accounts used be theoretically perfect as it is that there should be a uniform system. My object has been to outline in a general way the information that may be derived from a study of railroad accounts compiled in the manner prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Com mission. Above all, I have attempted to show the why of the accounts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

American Railway Accounting

Book Description
Excerpt from American Railway Accounting: A Commentary The second phase Of the original title met with a similar fate. To consider the many uses of a well devised system of accounts, would raise most of the problems involved in industrial statistics. This, too, covers a field of analysis of sufficient importance to claim individual treatment, and, for this reason, a consideration of the uses as well as the abuses of business records was set aside. What remains is not very extensive, so far as the text is concerned, but it is dominated by a single purpose. It is a Commentary on the standard system of railway accounts promulgated for and used by American railways. It is hoped that this simple analysis of a standardized system of business records will prove helpful to three classes of readers.

Electric Railway Accounting, 1906

Book Description
Excerpt from Electric Railway Accounting, 1906: The Monthly Report, the Accounting Department, and the Accountant Thus, the annual report takes a different place from that occupied by the monthly report, and as it is issued annu ally it should contain much information not contained in the monthly report. On the other hand, on account of its semi public character, it may properly not contain all of the in formation considered as of essential importance in an operat ing monthly report. It is not intended to convey the impression that secrecy should be practiced, but that by the different use to which it is put the annual report need not necessarily be so detailed in its composition and yet fulfill its purpose. For instance, the information relating to the organization, the track mileage, the equipment, the changes in the funded and other debt, and the assets, and the information relating to the physical con dition of the property, should all be treated and compared with the previous year, and the changes in a year's work should be pointed out and explained. All this, on account of its monthly repetition, may be considered unnecessary for a monthly report, although of importance in an annual report. And for the reasons already explained, the extended details of income and Operating may safely be omitted from the annual report and the results given in totals.
