3. Money Measurement Concept
Money is the medium of exchange
and the standard of economic
value. Hence money measurement
concept requires that only those
transactions which are capable of
being measured in terms of money
are to be recorded in books of
accounts.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 3
4. Transactions that cannot be
expressed in terms of money are
not recorded in books.
Example1
Successful meeting with a
prospective customer may be very
important but can not be recorded
in the books of accounts.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 4
5. Example2
employees are the valuable
resources of the organisation but
their measurement in monetary
terms is not possible therefore, not
recorded in books.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 5
6. Double Entry
Dual aspect concept is the core of
double entry book-keeping system.
According to it, every transaction has
two aspects and both aspects are to
be recorded in the books of
accounts.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 6
7. Double entry system of book-
keeping means that all transactions
are recorded in two aspect one
involving the receiving benefit and
other giving benefit in the accounts
system.
For instance, buying a machinery for
Rs.25,000 would be entered as a
decrease in the cash account, and as
an increase in the ‘machinery’
account.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 7
8. The advantage of a double entry
system is that it is comprehensive.
It will give you an accurate picture of
your true financial position, not just
your cash position. As non-cash
transactions can be huge, this is
extremely important for robust
financial management.
The disadvantage of double entry
bookkeeping is that it needs
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 8
9. significant details for regular
maintenance of books and not
always easy to use.
It generally needs a qualified
accountant to run it.
Every transaction has two aspects:
i) it increases one asset and
decreases other asset
ii) it increases an asset and
increases other liability
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 9
10. iii) it decreases an asset and
decreases a liability
iv) it decreases one liability and
increases other liability
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 10
11. Single Entry
It is difficult to define single entry
system because, in fact, there exists
no system like single entry system.
Broadly speaking, it is a defective
double entry system. Any system
that falls short of complete double
entry method is called single entry
system. Under this method,
sometimes both the aspects of
transactions are recorded,
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 11
12. sometimes only one aspect is
recorded or sometime no aspects
of transactions is recorded in the
books.
In short single entry system may be
called a mix of double
entry, single entry and no entry.
For instance, buying a Machinery for
Rs.25,000 would be entered as a
payment in a cashbook.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 12
13. It has the advantage of being simple,
and spontaneous to use.
However, it may not account for non-
cash (or non-bank) transactions.
These are transactions that will have
a significant effect on the accounts,
but do not immediately cause a
change on the cash or bank accounts
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 13
14. Example
Goods sold on one months credit are
not be recorded in the system at the
time of sale of goods. This will create
a situation where a businessman can
not anticipate exact cash position of
the particular month and therefore
wrong planning.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 14
15. Example of a non-cash transaction is
ordering a Machinery for Rs.25,000.
The machinery might take a month
to arrive. During that month, a single
entry system would not record the
transaction on the formal accounts.
This would mean that the accounting
system has not shown liability of
Rs.25,000 payable to machinery
suppliers: a dangerous situation.

own the business jointly. The affairs
of business are managed by the head

Dr. Varadraj Bapat 19
20. HUF business comes into existence as
per the Hindu Inheritance Laws of
India. The membership is limited up to
three successive generations. Thus, an
individual, his child(ren), and his
grandchild(ren) become the members
of a HUF by birth. They are called Co-
parceners. A daughter can also be a
coparcener.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 20

between the persons who have
agreed to share the profits. It is a
business owned and carried on by a
group of people.
Each member of such a group is
individually known as partner and

as a partnership firm.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 21
22. These firms are
governed by the
Indian Partnership
Act, 1932.
Registration of
partnership is not

27. Company / Corporation

organisation is a voluntary
association of persons to carry on
business. Normally, it is given a legal
status and is subject to certain legal
regulations. It is an association of
persons who generally contribute
money for some common purpose.
The money so contributed is the
capital of the company.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 27
28. The persons who contribute capital are
its members. The proportion of capital
to which each member is entitled is
called his share, therefore members of
a joint stock company are known as
shareholders and the capital of the
company is known as share capital.
The companies are governed by the
Indian Companies Act, 1956. The Act
defines a company as an artificial
person created by law, having
separate entity, with perpetual
succession and a common seal.

30. Co-operative Society
Any ten persons can form a co-
operative society. It functions under
the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912
and other State Co-operative
Societies Acts. A co-operative society
is entirely different from all other
forms of organisation discussed
above in terms of its objective. The
co-operatives are formed primarily to
render services to its members.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 30
31. Every member has a right to take
part in the management of the
society. Each member has one
vote. Generally the members
elect a committee known as the
Executive Committee to look after
the day to day administration and
the said committee is responsible
to the general body of members.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 31
32. The liability of the members is
limited to the extent of capital
contributed by them.
Registration of a society under
the Co-operative Societies Act is
a must. Once it is registered, it
becomes a body corporate and
enjoys certain privileges just like
a joint stock company.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 32
33. Some of the privileges are:
The society enjoys perpetual
succession.
It has its own common seal.
It can own property in its name.
It can enter into contract with
others.
It can sue others in court of law.
Dr. Varadraj Bapat 33

service to the society. The main
objectives of co-operative society
are:
(a) rendering service rather than
earning profit,
(b) mutual help instead of
competition, and
