Frequently Asked Questions
Why does an item given inside the Trial Balance appear only once, while an adjustment outside appears twice?
Items inside the Trial Balance have already been double-posted to the ledger, so they go to only one final statement. Adjustments represent unrecorded transactions and must be posted in two places to satisfy the dual-aspect principle of accounting.
How do we treat Closing Stock if it is given inside the Trial Balance?
If closing stock is given inside the Trial Balance, it means it has already been adjusted against purchases (or is part of opening stock/cost of goods sold). Therefore, it is shown only on the Asset side of the Balance Sheet and not in the Trading Account.
What is the difference between Provision for Bad Debts and Bad Debts written off?
Bad debts are actual losses from customers who have definitively gone bankrupt or refused to pay. Provision for bad debts is an estimated reserve created out of current profits for potential future defaults by remaining debtors.
