Preface

Accounting knowledge is a core business skill that both complements and enhances
your other talents. Congratulations! You’ve received the right book to start developing
those accounting skills at school level. This book “Office Practice & Accountancy for
Grade 10” has been designed mainly for secondary level students on the basis of the New
Syllabus developed by Curriculum Development Centre (CDC), Government of Nepal.
While writing this book, I have applied very easy and practical approach. Both traditional
and modern approaches of accounting and basic official and budgetary concepts have
been given for easiness of teachers and students. With my past rich experiences (3
decades) in teaching profession, I have made every effort to present simple and practical
questions and their solutions, theoretical rules and detail explanations. I hope all teachers,
students and other concerned readers will have benefits from this book.

As you go through this book, you’ll find that accounting concepts or information influence
almost every decision you will make as a future manager. I’m interested in making sure that
you finish with an understanding of several key accounting concepts. The Key Features of
this book are as follows:
The matters are presented and designed in simple and easy way as to fulfill the requirement of
curriculum.
The syllabus developed by CDC is given in each chapter.
The learning objectives are given in each chapter.
The colourful pictures are used to make understandable of the topics.
Important and popular definitions of various scholars’ relevant subjects are given to enhance
the knowledge of learner.
Enough illustrations and examples are given according to the requirement of subject matter.
Important points and concepts are presented as ‘points to remember’ and ‘key point’ to remind
the major points of the topics.
Each chapter contains word index to learn the difficult words.
Each topic, theoretical questions are set as very short answer questions, short answer questions
and long answer questions according to the present question pattern.
Depth and sufficient numerical problems are given in practice as much as possible.
Necessary project works are given in most of the chapters to enhance the practical knowledge
of the students.
To develop this book to this form, I have got significant help from my colleagues;
Mr. D.R. Simkhada, Mr. Sagar Binod Adhikari, Mr. Niran Maharjan, Mr. Suraj Maharjan, and
Gaurav Chhetri. I highly appreciate the support and comments that I have got from
teachers and students. Without their classroom experience, guidance and advice, this
book could not have been prepared so effectively. I would like to thank the publishers
for publishing the series of the textbooks for class 8, 9 and 10.

Finally, I am still expecting the comments and creative suggestions from teachers, students
and well wishers so that I can bring out the next edition with improvements for better
impression.
