Balance Sheet to show the amount of an asset at its net value. For example, Provision
for Doubtful Debts is Valuation Account since it is used with Sundry Debtors Account.
(viii) Depreciation is charged on fixed tangible assets whereas amortisation is writing off
intangible assets. Hence, depreciation differs from amortisation.

date, a new bill of exchange may be drawn on him after cancellation of the old bill of

error affects one side of an account only. Every one-sided error is rectified by passing a
