special journal accounts in the ledger.
Forms of ‘T’ account:

1. Skeleton form of T/account:


Date Dr Date Cr.

1. Standard form of T/account:

Date Explanation P.R Dr. Date Explanation P.R Cr.

2. Self Balancing form

Date Explanation P.R Dr. Cr. Balance

Ledger posting
Posting means the process of transfer of Dr. & Cr. amounts from the General Journal to relevant
account in the ledger.

Footing & Balancing

ACCOUNTING: XI

PAGE: 20

a Cr. Balance.

NIL BALANCE:
If the total Dr. amount of an account is just equal to its total Cr. amount, the account is said to have a

2. A trial balance may tally despite errors of amount, omission, & account titles etc.
3. A Pre - Closing trail balance does not represent the up to date balances of the accounts.

(BANK RECONCILIATION STATEMENT)
INTRODUCTION
Bank Reconciliation Statement is a statement which contains a complete and satisfactory explanation
of the differences between the balance as per the Cash Book and Bank Statement. It is just a
procedure to reconcile the Cash Book balance with that of bank statement balance.
It should also be noted that
It may also be prepared at the end of every week or every quarter.

CAUSES OF DIFFERENCE B/W THE BALANCE AS PER CASH BOOK


AND BANK STATEMENT:
The differences between the two balances arise from the following normal causes:
1. TIMING: There may be a time gap between recording transactions in the business cash record
and bank’s book. The checks issued and the deposited are recorded immediately by the
business where as the bank will record only when the same are paid or cleared
2. ERRORS: Some differences may arise due to errors committed either by the bank or by the
business accountant.
3. Transaction difference: The bank may fail to intimate the performance of certain transactions
on behalf of the accountholder.
FOR PREPARING BANK RECONCILIATION STATEMENT
Following differences be added to the Bank Statement balance.
1. Cheques deposited by the business but not cleared, or un-cleared cheques, or un credited cheques
or cash deposits in transit not shown in bank statement
2. Deposit of cash or cheques amount understated by the bank: only the difference of amount be
added
3. The amount of cheques issued if over-stated by the bank: only the difference of amount be added

Following differences will be deducted from the balance of bank


statement.
1. The amount of cheques issued but not shown in Bank Statement or outstanding cheques or un
debited or un presented cheques or unpaid cheques.
2. Deposit of cash or cheques amount over stated by the bank: only the difference of amount be
deducted
3. The amount of cheques issued is under stated by the bank: only the difference of amount will be
deducted .

List the Steps of the Accounting Cycle in Proper Order


The accounting cycle refers to the overall process of taking recordings of transactions and using those

transactions over a particular recording period.
1. Record Journal Entries From Transactions
2. Post Journal Entries to the General Ledger
3. Prepare Unadjusted Trial Balance
4. Adjust the Accounts by adjusting entries

PERIODIC ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustments are normally made at the end of an accounting period. The accounting period may be of
a month, a quarter, a half year, and a year.
Under adjustments, the periodic expenses are matched with periodic revenues. In simple, expenses &
revenues are determined keeping in mind the span of accounting period.
ACCOUNTING: XI

PAGE: 62
Normally, Adjustments are made for:
1. Merchandise inventory ending
2. Depreciation expense
3. Bad debts Computed on the basis of Sales
4. Accrued Expense or Unrecorded expenses
5. Accrued revenue or Unrecorded revenues
6. Prepayments initially recorded as an asset or expense
7. Unearned revenue initially recorded as liability or income

Merchandise Inventory:
In a merchandising business, merchandise remained unsold is determined by physical counting &
allocating cost to unsold (under the periodic inventory system) units using an appropriate valuation
method.

may initially be recorded as asset or as expense.

1. Accrued expenses
2. Accrued Incomes
3. Prepaid expenses if initially recorded as expense
4. Unearned incomes if initially recorded as income
The reason for making reversing entries is that a business follows alternative practice. For
example: if a business does not reverse its accrued expenses and accrued incomes at the start
of an accounting period, the related liability or asset will pass on to the next accounting period.
At the end, while making adjustments of accrued expenses and accrued incomes, their
balances need to be considered.
ADJUSTED TRIAL BALANCE

ledger accounts.

Errors are normally committed in recording business transactions under the double entry system of
accounting. They are as classified under:
1. Errors of amount 2.Errors of account tiles
3. Errors of omission 4. Errors of Principle
In accounting errors are not corrected by striking off or over writing rather errors are corrected by
giving appropriate accounting treatment based on double entry system
Correction of errors may be made before closing or after closing the revenue and expense accounts.
The accounting treatment for correction of errors differs in both the situations.
ACCOUNTING: XI

Correction of Errors before closing the revenue and expense accounts.
If errors are detected before closing the accounts, the correcting entries are made through the
accounts affected by the errors.

Correction of errors of amount


1. Understatement of amount
2. Overstatement of amount
For correcting the understated amount, a correcting entry will be made by the short recorded amount
using the same account titles.
For correcting the overstated amount, a correcting entry will be made by the over stated amount just
reversing the incorrect entry.

Errors of account titles


For correcting errors of account title the account titles wrongly debited in the entry will have to be
credited in the correcting entry, and the wrongly credited account will have to be debited in the
correcting entry by the same amount of incorrect Entry.

Errors of omission
Some transactions are mistakenly omitted. The so omitted transactions are brought on record by
making a normal journal entry.

Errors of principle
These errors occur because of wrong application of debit & credit rules, that is, the account to be
debited is wrongly credited and the account to be credited is wrongly debited. For correcting this
error, the wrongly debited account needs be credited & wrongly credited account be debited by
double the amount of the incorrect entry.

Correction of Errors after closing the books of accounts


If errors are detected after closing the periodic revenue & expense accounts, the correcting entries are
then made through the Capital Account or Retained Earnings Account. After the revenue & expense
accounts are closed out, no revenue or expense titles are used for making correcting entries. But the
balance sheet accounts affected by correcting entries are used.

of the period, prepare financial statements, and prepare the records for the next cycle.

Accounting Formulas:
Case 1: Assets = Liabilities + Capital Assets = Liabilities + (Capital + Profit)
Since, Profit = Revenue - Expenses
Therefore, Assets = Liabilities + (Capital + Revenue - Expenses)
So, extended accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Capital + Revenue - Expenses

Case 2: Assets = Liabilities + Capital


Since, Assets = Non-current assets + current assets
Therefore, Non-current assets + current assets = Liabilities + Capital
Since, Liabilities = Non-current liabilities + current liabilities
Therefore, Non-current assets + current assets = Non-current liabilities + current liabilities + Capital
Non-current assets + current assets = Non-current liabilities + current liabilities + (Capital + Profit)
ACCOUNTING: XI

PAGE: 92
Since, Profit = Revenue - Expenses Therefore, Non-current assets + current assets = Non-current
liabilities + current liabilities + (Capital + Revenue - Expenses)
So, extended accounting equation is Non-current assets + current assets = Non-current liabilities +
current liabilities + Capital + Revenue – Expenses
