Question
“Only financial transactions are recorded in Accountancy.” Explain the statement.

Answer

Only those transactions and events are recorded in accounting which are of a financial character. There are so many transactions in the business which are very important for business but which cannot be measured and expressed in terms of money and hence such transactions will not be recorded. For example, the quarrel between the Production Manager and the Sales Manager, resignation by an able and experienced manager, strike by employees and starting of a new business by the other competitor etc. Though these events affect the earnings of the business adversely but as no one can measure the effect of such events in terms of money, these will not be recorded in the books of the business.

My bank Pass Book showed an overdraft of ₹ 6,500 on 31st March, 2017. This does not agree with the Cash Book balance. From the following particulars ascertain the Cash Book balance:- Cheques amounting to ₹ 15,000 were paid into bank in March, out of which, it appears, only cheques amounting to ₹ 4,500 were credited by bank. Cheques issued during March amounted in all to ₹ 11,000. Out of these cheques for ₹ 3,000 were unpaid on 31st March, 2017.
