Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an item given inside the Trial Balance treated only once, while items outside are treated twice?
Items inside the Trial Balance have already been recorded in the ledger accounts (double entry completed), so they go to only one financial statement. Adjustments given outside relate to year-end changes and require a dual effect to maintain the accounting equation.
Where do we show Closing Stock if it is given outside the Trial Balance?
It is credited to the Trading Account and shown on the asset side of the Balance Sheet as a current asset.
How is Provision for Doubtful Debts calculated on Sundry Debtors?
First, subtract any further bad debts given in the adjustments from Sundry Debtors, and then calculate the percentage of provision on the remaining debtor balance.
