There are 2 systems of Accounting

  1. Double Entry System

Every transaction has 2 effects (Debit and Credit).

Eg 1: One person is receiving, another person is giving

Eg. 2: Suppose Ramesh purchases an office table by giving cash; the office table is coming in and cash is going out.

  1. Single Entry System

Because every transaction has 2 sides; maintaining accounts on the basis of a Single entry is not considered reliable under the Companies Act 2013.  Although small businessmen adopt this method for ease of Accounting.
