Associate Professor,
Unit - 3 MBA, RCET, Bhilai
Introduction
1. HR Accounting refers to the method of reflecting the rupee value
of the human asset in the company's balance sheet.
2. Human Resources are identified as the values of the production
capacity of a firm’s human organization, and the value of its
customer’s goodwill.
3. A balance sheet that does not reveal the current value of a
company’s human assets, does not show the true & fair picture
of the company’s overall activities.
4. While most organizations can readily give detailed information
about their tangible assets like plant and machinery, land and
buildings, transport and office equipment, there is no formal
record of investment in employees. Human assets accounting or
human resource accounting (HRA), which stands for
measurement and reporting of the cost and value of people as
organizational resources.
