Module 1: Financial Accounting Foundations & TallyPrime Release 7 Workspace
You begin with the accounting language Ahmedabad employers expect in interviews and on the job: capital vs revenue vs expense, assets vs liabilities, the accounting equation, debit–credit rules, and how purchase orders, GRNs, tax invoices, receipts, and payment vouchers connect to the books. We map each document to its eventual ledger impact so you never treat TallyPrime as “data entry only.” From there you work inside TallyPrime Release 7: creating a company with the correct financial year and books beginning date, enabling GST where applicable, configuring security (users, roles, access rights), backup and restore discipline, and navigation patterns finance teams use daily (Gateway of Tally, vouchers, day books, ledgers, and exception reports). You also learn master hygiene habits—naming conventions, inactive masters, and why sloppy company setup causes GST return failures weeks later.
Module 2: Chart of Accounts, Groups, Ledgers & Voucher Control Framework
This module builds the structural backbone every advanced accounting role depends on. You design a chart of accounts using primary groups and sub-groups aligned to trading, manufacturing, or service businesses common in Gujarat: sundry debtors/creditors, duties and taxes, bank accounts, cash, stock-in-hand, sales and purchase accounts, and indirect expenses. You create ledgers with opening balances, bill-wise details (where receivables/payables must be tracked invoice-wise), cost centres for branch or project reporting, and voucher types that enforce control (e.g., separate purchase vs expense flows). We stress how group placement drives P&L vs balance sheet classification, how wrong ledger mapping breaks GSTR-1 tax buckets, and how voucher numbering and optional narration standards support audit trails. Practical drills include restructuring misclassified ledgers without breaking historical data and validating trial balance integrity before GST configuration starts.
Module 3: Procure-to-Cash Voucher Cycle, Returns & Day-Book Discipline
You execute the full operational transaction cycle in TallyPrime: payment, receipt, contra, journal, purchase, sales, credit note, and debit note vouchers—with correct party selection, bill references, and tax applicability at line level. For purchases and sales you practice item-wise vs accounting-invoice modes, freight and other charges, round-off handling, and linking credit/debit notes to original invoices as required under GST document rules. Daily discipline covers day book review, register scrutiny (purchase/sales/journal), and spotting duplicate postings, wrong dates, or missing bill-wise references before month-end. We include distributor and retailer scenarios (cash sales, credit sales, partial receipts, advance adjustments) so your books remain reconcilable for GSTR-1 outward supplies and purchase registers used in ITC review.
Module 4: Inventory Masters, Godowns, Valuation & Stock–Ledger Integration
Advanced business accounting in trading and manufacturing firms requires inventory and finance to stay in sync. You configure stock groups and stock items with units, alternate units, godowns, reorder levels, and standard vs actual cost awareness where relevant. Batch-wise and expiry-aware items are introduced for pharma, FMCG, and food distribution cases frequently seen in Ahmedabad hiring. You post stock journals, delivery notes, and material movements that automatically reflect in accounting without manual double entry errors. Reporting practice includes stock summary, movement analysis, ageing where applicable, and reconciling physical stock counts to book figures. The module closes with troubleshooting negative stock, wrong valuation method impact on margins, and how inventory misconfiguration distorts GSTR-1 HSN summaries and tax values.
Module 5: GST Master Setup, HSN/SAC, Place of Supply & Tax Treatment (May 2026)
Aligned with current compliance expectations, you configure GST registration details (regular, composition awareness, multiple GSTIN context), state and place-of-supply logic for CGST+SGST vs IGST, tax ledgers, and item classification with correct HSN/SAC codes and GST rates. You handle taxable, exempt, nil-rated, and non-GST supplies; reverse charge mechanism (RCM) scenarios; and export/zero-rated treatment with documentation awareness. We cover why masters must be right before returns: wrong party state, incorrect tax type, missing HSN, or broken unit mapping are the top causes of GSTR-1 JSON errors and ITC mismatches. May 2026 emphasis includes blocked/reduced ITC categories employers ask about in interviews, credit/debit note tax adjustment rules, and preparing books so e-invoice IRN data and Tally tax details match without end-of-month rework.
Module 6: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, IMS & GSTR-2B ITC Reconciliation Workflow
You move from posting transactions to return-ready compliance control—the skill gap most “basic Tally” courses skip. Outward supply workflow covers GSTR-1 preparation logic, B2B/B2C/exports, amendments, and QRMP-style filing awareness (IFF vs monthly patterns) using TallyPrime GST reports as the control dashboard. For inward supplies you work through purchase register validation, ITC eligibility checks, and reconciliation using GSTR-2B auto-drafted data compared to books. The Invoice Management System (IMS) workflow for accepting/rejecting supplier invoices is practiced as it is central to ITC decisions in the 2025–2026 compliance cycle. GSTR-3B mapping exercises connect tax liability, ITC available, reversals, interest/late fee awareness, and payment challan discipline. You build CA-office-style working papers: mismatch registers, vendor follow-up lists, and documented reasons before filing—exactly what Ahmedabad CA firms and SME finance heads expect from accounts executives.
Module 7: e-Invoice, e-Way Bill & Statutory Document Compliance Controls
Statutory document generation is taught as an extension of clean books, not a separate “button click.” You study e-invoice applicability (turnover thresholds, B2B invoice types, exclusions), IRN generation flow, cancellation and credit-note linkage, and common portal rejection causes (HSN, tax value, party GSTIN, document type). e-Way bill training covers when movement triggers are required, Part-A/Part-B concepts, validity, consolidation, and integration discipline with delivery and sales vouchers. You practice exception handling: expired e-way bills, vehicle updates, and mismatches between invoice value and movement documents. Controls include document numbering series, user permissions for statutory actions, and pre-flight checklists so month-end does not become a firefight of corrected vouchers and regenerated IRNs.
Module 8: Banking, BRS, Receivables, Payables & Cash-Flow Controls
Employers in Ahmedabad routinely test banking and outstanding management in practical rounds. You configure bank ledgers, cheque books, deposit slips, and payment modes; post receipts and payments with correct allocation against bills. Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) drills use real statement patterns: uncleared cheques, direct credits, bank charges, and timing differences—with a clear audit trail in TallyPrime. Receivables and payables work includes bill-wise ageing, collection prioritization, vendor payment scheduling, and interest on delayed payments where applicable. Cash discipline covers contra entries, cash limits awareness, and daily cash book review. You learn to explain closing bank position, major debtors/creditors, and collection risk in management language—not only to “operate Tally.”
Module 9: Payroll Support, TDS Basics, MIS Dashboards & Audit-Trail Reporting
Finance operations extend beyond vouchers. You support payroll posting patterns (salary, employer contributions, deductions), statutory payment booking discipline, and basic TDS/TCS awareness as it appears on books and in management review (deeper law is CA domain; operational posting accuracy is yours). MIS packaging includes trading account and P&L interpretation, balance sheet structure for owners, ratio-style questions interviewers ask (gross margin, debtor days, stock turnover concepts), and Excel-assisted summaries where firms export Tally data for dashboards. TallyPrime audit trail and edit log awareness is covered so you can answer “who changed what” during reviews. Month-end exception routines include unusual vouchers, duplicate parties, inactive masters still used, and pre-close checklists before GST return extraction.
Module 10: Industry Capstone, CA-Office Simulations & Ahmedabad Hiring Drills
The capstone integrates everything into one employer-grade case: a multi-location trading business with GST-ready masters, full purchase-to-sales cycle, inventory and godown movement, credit/debit notes, bank reconciliation with exceptions, GSTR-1/3B working papers, GSTR-2B/IMS mismatch resolution, and e-invoice/e-way bill readiness checks. You deliver a closing pack—trial balance, key ledgers, ageing, stock summary, GST reconciliation sheets, and a short management note on risks and follow-ups. Interview drills mirror 2026 hiring panels: explain a BRS difference, walk through ITC denial vs accept decision, fix a wrong tax type voucher, narrate month-end close steps, and handle scenario questions for accountant, accounts executive, GST executive, billing, and back-office finance roles across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and nearby industrial belts. You leave with documented proof of work, not just certificate completion.
