(i) Pure single entry:Inthis,onlypersonalaccountsaremaintainedwiththeresultthatno information is available in respectof cash andbankbalances, salesandpurchases,etc.Inviewofitsfailuretoprovideeventhebasicinformationregarding cash etc., thismethod exists only on paper and has no practicalapplication.

14.6 ACCOUNTING

3.2 Difference between Statement of Affairs and Balance Sheet

Basis Statement of affairs Balance sheet

Reliability It is prepared on the basis oftransactions partly recordedon the basis of double entrybookkeepingandpartlyonthebasis of single entry. Most ofthe assets are recorded on the basisof estimates, assumptions,information gathered frommemoryratherthanrecords.

Itisbasedontransactionsrecordedstrictly on the basis of doubleentry book keeping; each item inthe balance sheet can be verifiedfromtherelevantsubsidiarybooksand ledger. Hence the balancesheet isnotonlyreliable,butalsodependable.

Capital In this statement, capital ismerelyabalancingfigurebeingexcess of assets over capital.Henceassetsneednotbeequaltoliabilities.

Capital isderived fromthecapitalaccountintheledgerandthereforethetotalofassetssidewillalwaysbe equal to the total of liabilitiesside.

Omission Sincethisstatementispreparedon the basis of incompleterecords, it is very difficult, tolocatetheassetsandliabilities,iftheyareomittedfromthebooks.

Thereisnopossibilityofomissionof any item of asset and liabilitysince all items are properlyrecorded. Moreover, it is easy tolocatethemissing itemssincethebalancesheetwillnotagree.

Basis ofValuation

The valuation of assets isgenerally done in an arbitrarymanner;thereforenomethodofvaluationisdisclosed.

The valuation of assets is doneon scientific basis, that is originalcostinthecaseofnewassetsanddepreciated amount on the basisofcostminusdepreciationtodateforusedassets.Anychangeinthemethod of valuation is properlydisclosed.

Objects The object of preparing thisstatement in the calculation ofcapitalfigures in thebeginningandattheendoftheaccountingperiodrespectively.

Theobjectofpreparingthebalancesheet is to ascertain the financialpositiononaparticulardate.
