Question 36 Marks
What is meant by single entry system of accounts and give any three salient features.
Answer
Meaning of Single Entry System: A single entry system records a transaction with a single entry and only maintains one side of every transaction. It is the oldest method of recording financial transactions and is less popular than the double entry system and is
mainly used for entries recorded in the income statement. This term is used to describe the problems associated with the accounts from an incomplete transaction and is popularly called as ‘Preparation of accounts from incomplete records’
Three Salient features of Single Entry System :
⇒ Under this method, only one Cash Book is maintained which mixes up both the private and business transaction.
⇒ Under this system, Profit or Loss can be ascertained but not the financial position as a whole.
⇒ Arithmetical accuracy of the account is not possible since Trial Balance can't be prepared.
