ACCOUNTING TERMS Business Transaction –  A business transaction is a financial event between two or more parties. It involves an exchange of goods, services or money and gets recorded in the books of accounts for the organisations involved. Capital –  Capital refers owner’s equity in the business to run its daily operations and help its future growth. The capital for a business comes either from its owners or from outsiders (shares, debentures or bonds). Drawings –  Drawings refer to the withdrawals made by the owners of a business for personal use. It gets deducted from the Owner’s Capital in the Liabilities side of a Balance Sheet.

ACCOUNTING TERMS Assets (Non-Current and Current) –  Current Assets are the assets that a firm can liquidate within twelve months. Non-Current Assets are the long-term investments of a business that they cannot liquidate within a year. Fixed assets (Tangible and Intangible) –  Tangible Fixed Assets are the long-term investments of a business that have a physical existence. Intangible Fixed Assets are the long-term investments made by a company that doesn’t have a physical existence Liabilities (Non-Current and Current) – It denotes the amount business owes and has to return. Current Liabilities are the amount due to the creditors of a business that has to be paid back within twelve months. Non-Current Liabilities are the long-term obligations of a company that are not due for payment before a year.

ACCOUNTING TERMS Expenditure (Capital and Revenue) –  A business incurs Capital Expenditure to acquire assets for long-term income generation. It also incurs Revenue Expenditure to run the day-to-day operations of a business. Expense –  Expenses in accounting refer to the cost incurred or money the business owners spend to generate revenue. A business must keep its expenses under control to generate profits both in the short and long run. Income –  Income is the revenue that a business earns from the sale of its goods or services. It is essential for the survival and growth of any enterprise, and the failure to generate revenue can lead to a shutdown of the business. Profit –  Profit is the positive difference between the income generated from selling goods or services and the Expenses incurred to perform that business activity. Profit is the excess of revenues over the expenses.

ACCOUNTING TERMS Purchase –  Purchase is the activity of buying an item to either use it in the production of goods and services or resell it to another entity. Sales –  Sales is an economic activity where a business exchanges goods or services with another entity for money. It is the primary source of revenue for any organisation .

Sustained losses over time can lead to the shutdown of a business organisation . Gain –  A Gain is an increase in the total value of an asset of a business. It takes place when the current price of the asset exceeds its original purchase price. It can occur at any time during the useful life of an asset.

ACCOUNTING TERMS Debtor –  A debtor is an individual or entity that owes money to a business. Companies treat it as an asset because they will get money from them in the near or distant future. Creditor –  A creditor is an individual or entity to whom a business owes money. Companies treat it as a liability because they will have to pay them in the near or distant future.

It helps to increase sales of a product, and it doesn’t get recorded in the accounting books.

Trial Balance A Trial Balance is a statement that keeps a record of the final ledger balance of all accounts in a business. It has two columns – debit and credit.  Trial Balance  is prepared at the end of a year and is used to prepare financial statements like Profit and Loss Account or Balance Sheet. The main objective of a Trial Balance is to ensure the mathematical accuracy of the business transactions recorded in a company’s ledgers.

Need / Importance 1. CHECKING ARITHMETICAL ACCURACY: This means that the trial balance is used to verify actual amount entered in correct side of current account while moving the figures from various ledger books like purchase day book, sales day book, cash book, etc. Trial Balance aside from general ledger accounts is used for checking the accuracy of special purpose accounting books. 2. ASSIST IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Financial statements like Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement needs to be prepared at the end of every accounting year. The balances of all the ledger accounts used to prepare financial statements are already available in the trial balance and hence, preparing and analyzing of financial statement becomes easier. 3. ASSIST IN RECTIFYING ERRORS: Since the debit total of trial balance must equal to credit total of trial balance, this checks the arithmetical accuracy of ledger postings. If it is not balanced, it will make accountant to find and rectify the error. After preparing the trial balance, accountants feel relieved when the trial balance debit totals and credit totals match.

Need / Importance 5. ASSIST IN COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS:  The trial Balance helps to compare balances of the current year with past year balances along with peer analysis. This will help the business to take important decisions concerning income, expenses, production costs, etc. It helps to recognize the trend in the business and take actions wherever necessary. .

Limitations If s ome transactions are not journalized at all. Even a correctly balanced Trial Balance cannot reveal this mistake. If a journal entry with an incorrect amount gets recorded in both accounts, the Trial Balance will not detect that error. A journal entry may have the right amount, but the accountant may have entered it under the wrong accounting heads. The Trial Balance cannot identify such mistakes. If a journal entry is missing in the ledger, it will not reflect in the Trial Balance.
