Contents

The Single Entry System is really no system at all for keeping accounts. Under this system, onlysuch accounts are kept as seem to be absolutely necessary. Usually, the accounts that are kept arethose relating to cash/credit customers and creditors. One may not find accounts relating to fixedassets, purchases, sales, expenses, incomes, etc. Thus, one may find that some transactions are notrecorded at all, some transactions are recorded only in one of their aspects while, for some others,both the aspects are recorded. Goods sold on credit will be recorded only in the account of thecustomer concerned. Cash received from him will be recorded both in the Cash Acount and in theaccount of the customer. Purchase of machinery on credit will not be recorded at all till payment ismade.

This system of recording transactions is very defective. No trial balance can be taken out andhence accuracy of books cannot be proved. Chances of mischief of fraud remaining undetected arehigh. Trading and Profit and Loss Account cannot be prepared and, hence, the proprietor will have nofirm idea of profit earned or loss suffered. Balance sheet, called statement of affairs here, is preparedin an unsatisfactory manner. The assets and liabilities are not proved from records but are put down byphysical inspection and on estimated basis. In spite of all the defects, the system is quite popular withsmall firms which cannot afford to spend money on proper accounting.

Meaning

Incomplete Record of Accounting means absence of double entry, i.e., both aspects of thetransaction not recorded which is incomplete, unscientific and unsatisfactory system.

It is a system which only records cash and personal accounts. It is always incomplete double Entry.

Features

1. Prepared by sole trading concern and partnership firm: This system was prepared byonly sole trading and partnership firm since there are no legal requirement of bookkeepingunder double entry system, i.e., registration not required compulsorily for sole trading concernand partnership firm.

2. Not uniform: The uniformity concept is missing under this system as the system differs orvaries from one business organisation to another business organisation for maintaining theirbooks of accounts.

3. No rule: No fixed rules are followed under this system as no hard and fast rules are issued byany authorised accounting regulatory bodies.

4. Record of one aspect: This system ignores both aspects of the transaction, i.e., double entryis not passed. So, only one aspect of the transaction is recorded.

5. Personal as well as business aspect: This system always take care of proprietor’s personalas well as business transaction, i.e., Cash Book under this system also takes care of personalreceipts and payments of proprietor apart from keeping recorded of business receipts andpayments.

COMPUTATION OF PROFIT OR LOSS

There are two methods of incomplete record system for accounting:

A. Statement of Affairs Method (Networth Method)

B. Conversion Method

The position as on 31st March, 1995 was as follows:

Cash in hand and at bank ` 1,600; Trade Creditors ` 20,200; Debtors ` 8,400; N's drawingsduring the year had been ` 3,000 and S had drawn ` 1,200.

Solution:

Statement of Affairs as on 1.4.1994Division of Capital between Nand S:

If capital of S is 1, then N's capital will be 1.5 and total capital will be 2.5. Therefore, N's capitalsis: 28,000×1.5/2.5 = ` 16,800 and S's capital is: 28,000×1/2.5 = ` 11,200.

CALCULATION OF GROSS PROFIT

Sometimes, Gross Profit is required to be calculated, in addition to Net Profit. Since there is noinformation regarding sales and purchases, Trading Account cannot be prepared. Therefore, initiallynet profit will be calculated by preparing statement of profit as discussed above. Then all expenses,losses and depreciation will be added back. Any income will be deducted. The resultant figure will beGross Profit.

CALCULATION OF TRADING PROFIT

If question requires calculation of Trading Profit (profit from business), any income, expense orloss which is not connected with the operation of business should be excluded from profit. Initially, netprofit should be calculated in the usual manner. Then non-trading expenses/losses (loss by fire, loss onsale of assets etc.) should be added back to net profit and non-trading income (interest on investments)should be deducted from net profit.
