28
 BUSINESS ENTITY CONCEPT 
 MONEY MEASUREMENT CONCEPT 
 GOING BUSINESS CONCEPT 
 CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLE 
 DUAL ASPECT PRINCIPLE
 Dual aspect is the foundation or basic principle of 
accounting. 
 It provides the very basis of recording business 
transactions in the books of accounts. 
 This concept assumes that every transaction has 
a dual effect, i.e. it affects two accounts in their 
respective opposite sides. 
 Therefore, the transaction should be recorded at 
two places. 
 It means, both the aspects of the transaction must 
be recorded in the books of accounts. 
38
 For example, goods purchased for cash has two 
aspects which are, 
 Payment of cash 
 Receiving of goods(Assets). 
• These two aspects are to be recorded. 
 Thus, the duality concept is commonly expressed in 
terms of fundamental acctg equation :- 
Assets = Liabilities + Capital 
39
 This equation expresses the equality of assets 
on the one side and other side equity i.e., the 
claims of outsider [liabilities] and owners or 
proprietors fund on the other side. 
 In mathematical form, 
 Assets = Equity 
 Equity = Liabilities + Capital 
 As an asset is introduced in the business, a 
corresponding liability also emerges. 
40
 For example, pers X started business with cash 
Rs.2,00,000 as Capital. 
 In this transaction, asset in the form of cash 
is created for the business. 
 Hence, Cash (Asset) Capital (Equity) 
Rs.2,00,000 = Rs.2,00,000 
 X purchased Machinery for Rs.40,000 and Furniture 
for Rs.20,000. 
 Thus, the position of the assets and capital is as: 
 Cash + Machinery + Furniture = Capital 
 1,40,000 + 40,000 + 20,000 = 2,00,000 41
 The above transaction shows that 
 Assets = Capital 
Or 
 Capital = Assets 
 Increase or decrease in capital will result in the 
corresponding increase or decrease in assets. 
47
 The above accounting equation states that the 
assets of a business are always equal to the 
claims of owner/ owners and the outsiders. 
 This claim is also termed as capital or owners 
equity and that of outsiders, as liabilities or 
creditors’ equity. 
48
 Is based on the duality principle and was devised 
to account for all aspects of a transaction. Under 
the system, aspects of transactions are classified 
under two main types: 
 Debit and 
 Credit 
49
 Debit is the portion of transaction that accounts for 
the increase in assets and expenses, and the 
decrease in liabilities, equity and income. 
 Credit is the portion of transaction that accounts 
for the increase in income, liabilities and equity, 
and the decrease in assets and expenses. 
 The classification of debit and credit effects is 
structured in such a way that for each debit there is 
a corresponding credit and vice versa. Hence, every 
transaction will have 'dual' effects (i.e. debit effects 
and credit effects). 
50
1. Capital brought in by the owner of the Business, 
The two aspects in this transaction are 
 Receipt of Cash 
 Increase in Capital (Owners Equity) 
2. Purchase of machinery by cheque 
The two aspects in the transaction are 
 Reduction in Bank Balance 
 Owning of Machinery 
51
3. Goods sold for cash 
The two aspects are 
 Receipt of cash 
 Delivery of goods to the customer 
4. Rent paid in cash to the landlord 
The two aspects are 
 Payment of cash 
 Rent (Expenses incurred). 
52
 Bank Reconciliation Statement is a statement 
prepared to reconcile the difference between the 
balances as per the bank column of the cash book 
and pass book on any given date. 
 Thus, it is prepared to reconcile the bank balances 
shown by the cash book and by the bank 
statement. 
 It helps in detecting, if there is any error in 
recording the transactions and ascertaining the 
correct bank balance on a particular date. 
68
1. Cheques issued by the firm but not yet 
presented for payment 
2. Cheques deposited into bank but not yet 
credited 
3. Amount directly deposited in the bank account 
4. Bank Charges 
5. Interest and dividend received by the bank 
71
6. Direct payments made by the bank on behalf of 
the customers 
7. Dishonour of Cheques. 
8. Errors committed in recording transactions by 
the firm 
9. Errors committed in recording transactions by 
the Bank 
72
 Trial Balance may be defined as a statement which 
contains balances of all ledger accounts on a 
particular date. 
 Trial Balance consists of a debit column with all 
debit balances of accounts and credit column with 
all credit balances of accounts. 
 The totals of these columns if tally, it is presumed 
that ledger has been maintained correctly. 
 However, Trial Balance proves only the arithmetical 
accuracy of posting in the ledger. 
73
1. To check arithmetical accuracy 
2. First step to help in preparing Financial 
Statements 
3, Helps in locating errors 
4. Helps in comparison 
5. Helps in making adjustments
