CapitalIQ Interview Question
Accountantsin the single entry system only one aspect of the business transaction will be recorded in the books of accounts.
but in the double entry system both aspects of the business transaction will be recorded,
for example i am selling the machinery to kiran.
in this two accounts are involved.
i,e:kiran a/c and machinery a/c.
so in the single entry system we will record only kiran a/c as a debtorand we dont record the a/c regarding the machinery.
but in the double entry system we will record both aspects of the transaction.
it means we will record
kiran a/c ---dr
to machinery a/c.
so it wil give complete information about the business transaction.
thank uuuuu.....
