like stock, debtors etc.

other words, which have a physical existence such as land, building, plant, furniture, stock,
cash etc.

existence and which cannot be seen or felt. For e.g. Goodwill, patent, trade marks and
copyrights.

OTHER TERMS
Meaning: This system is based on the principle that every transaction includes two persons. One
is the giver and the other one is the receiver. That is why every transaction has two sides one is
debit and other is credit. Thus every transaction will include two accounts for recording of every
transaction in two separate accounts. This method is called double entry system.
Characteristics:
1. Every business transaction affects two accounts: One of them is debited and other is
credited. Certain transaction may affect more than two accounts but the amount of the
accounts to be debited and credited will always be equal.
2. Recording of both personal and impersonal aspects: It is possible that both the aspects
of a transaction may be personal or both may be impersonal or one may be personal or
one may be impersonal.
3. Recording is made according to certain specified rules: In double entry one account is
debited and the other is credited. It does not mean that any account may be debited or
any account may be credited. There are certain rules for debiting and crediting and
debits and credits are made on the basis of these rules. The 3 rules are :
*Debit what comes in & Credit what goes out
*Debit the receiver & Credit the giver
*Debit all expenses & losses & Credit all incomes & gains (profits)
4. Preparation of trial balance: Since one account is debited and the other is credited,
total of all debits is always equal to the total of all credits. This is done by preparing a
trial balance.
Advantages:
1. Complete Record of every transaction: Maintain all type of records i.e. personal or
impersonal account.
2. Preparation of trial balance: It provides basis for checking the arithmetical accuracy (Debit
side = Credit Side).
3. Preparation of final accounts: From this system final accounts are prepared from the ledger
accounts and Trial balance, Trading and P & L a/c is prepared to arrive at net profit / loss
for the year.
4. Financial Position of the business: Balance sheet is prepared from this system so that the
financial position of a business will be calculated.
7. Comparative study of expenditures and income: Management can compare cash, and
expenditure as compared to previous year.
8. Helps in decision making: By this system management can get all information very quickly
which helps in decision making.
Disadvantages:
1. A number of books are to be kept under this system.
2. It is quite difficult to apply the rules of debit and credit.
3. Errors of omission: If a transaction remains altogether unrecorded in the books of original
entry.
4. Error of Commission: If wrong amount is recorded in the books of original entry.
5. Error of principle: If the amount is recorded on the correct side though in a wrong
account.

of Dr. side is recorded in trial balance in the debit column and of Cr. Side in Cr. Column.

comparing totals of debit and credit side and the same balance is recorded in trial balance,
debit balance in Dr. column and credit balance in Cr. Column.
