Golden Rules of Accounting
Mode of Accounting
Accounting process begins with identifying and recording the transactions in the
books of accounts i.e., the first step in the Accounting Process is recording of
transactions in the books of accounts. Accounting identifies only those transactions
and events which involves money and is sorted based on various source documents.
The following are the most common source documents.
‡ Cash Memo
‡ Invoice or Bill
‡ Vouchers
‡ Receipt
‡ Debit Note
‡ Credit Note
Receipt: When a trader receives cash from a customer against goods sold by
him, issues a receipt containing the name of such customer, details of amount
received with date.
Invoice or Bill: When a trader sells goods to a buyer, he prepares a sales invoice
containing the details of name and address of buyer, name of goods, amount and
terms of payments and so on. Similarly, when the trade purchases goods on credit
receives a Invoice/bill from the supplier of such goods.
Journals and Ledgers: A journal is a record in which all business transactions are
entered in a chronological order. A record of a single business transaction is
called a journal entry. Every journal entry is supported by a voucher, evidencing
the related transaction.
Trial Balance: Trial balance is a statement which shows debit balances and
credit balances of all Ledger accounts. As per the rules of double entry
system, every debit should have a corresponding credit, the total of the debit
balances and credit balances should agree. A detailed trial balance has
columns for
‡ Account name
‡ Debit balance
‡ Credit balance
Financial statements are final result of accounting work done during the
accounting period. Financial statement serves a significant purpose to users
of accounting information in knowing about the profitability and financial
position of the organization. Financial statements normally include
‡ Trading
‡ Profit and Loss Account
‡ Balance Sheet
Trading Account
Trading refers to buying and selling of goods. The trading account displays
the transactions pertaining to buying and selling of goods. The difference
between the two sides of the Trading Account indicates either Gross Profit or
Gross Loss. If the credit side total is in excess of the debit side total, the
difference represents Gross Profit. On the other hand, if the total of the debit
side is in excess of the credit side total, the difference represents Gross Loss.
Such Gross Profit / Gross Loss is transferred to Profit & Loss Account. The
Gross Profit is expressed as:
Gross Profit = Net Sales – Cost of Sales
Profit and Loss Account
The profit and loss account helps to ascertain the net profit earned or net
loss suffered during a particular period. After considering all other incomes
and expenses incurred over a period. This helps the company to monitor and
control the costs incurred and improve its efficiency. In other words, the
profit and loss statement shows the performance of the company in terms of
profits or losses over a specified period.
The Net Profit is expressed as:
Net Profit = (Gross Profit + Other Income) – (Selling and Administrative Expenses +
Depreciation + Interest + Taxes + Other Expenses)
A key element of the Profit and Loss Account, and one that distinguishes it
from a balance sheet, is that the amounts shown on the statement represent
transactions over a period of time, while the items represented on the
balance sheet show information as on a specific date.
All revenue and expense accounts are closed once the profit and loss account
is prepared. The Revenue and Expenses accounts will not have an opening
balance for the next accounting period.
Balance Sheet: The balance sheet is a statement that summarizes the assets and
liabilities of a business. The excess of assets over liabilities is the net worth of
a business. The balance sheet provides information that helps in assessing
‡ A company’s Long-term financial strength
‡ A company’s Efficient day-to-day working capital management
‡ A company’s Asset portfolio
‡ A company’s Sustainable long-term performance
The balances of all the real, personal and nominal (capital in nature)
accounts are transferred from trial balance to balance sheet and grouped
under the major heads of assets and liabilities.
The balance sheet is complete when the net profit/ loss is transferred from
the Profit and Loss account.
Transactions: A transaction is a financial event that takes places in the course
or furtherance of business and effects the financial position of the company.
For example, when you deposit cash in the bank, your cash balance reduces
and bank balance increases or when you sell goods for cash, your cash balance
increases and your stock reduces.
Transactions can be classified as follows:
‡ Receipts – cash or bank
‡ Payments – cash or bank
‡ Purchases
‡ Sales

working. For example if our machine has 3 companies A, B & C and we have
opened company C and if we make any change in configuration F11, such
change will be reflected in company C only and not in company A & B.
Configuration F12 – It applies to all the companies present in tally. For
example if our machine has 3 companies A, B & C and you opened company
C make any change in configuration F12, such change will be reflected in all
the companies A, B & C.

tally) we press the spacebar.
Ledger account heads are the actual account heads with which weidentify
the transactions. All voucher entries have to be passed using ledgers. To

of Rs.25000.
2. Land & Building – under Fixed Assets with an opening balance of
Rs.60000.

a) Creation of stock groups, stock categories & stock items
b) Godown creation

d) Viewing stocks created
e) Godown transfer
f) View godown wise report & category wise report
At first we should have a brief idea about stock groups, stock categories &
stock items. When stock group is shoes then stock categories will be gents,
ladies & boys and stock items will be sandals & boots for gents, sandals & flip
flops for ladies, and running shoes and sneakers for kids.
When stock group is TV then stock categories will be 22 inch, 32 inch, 43
inch, & 55 inch. Stock items will be the different brands like Samsung, LG,
Philips & Sony etc.
