DOUBLE ENTRY
SYSTEM
• The double entry system of accounting or
bookkeeping means that every business transaction
will involve two accounts or more.
• Double entry also allows for the accounting
equation (assets = liabilities + owner's equity) to
always be in balance. In our example involving
• A Dual aspect of double entry is that the amounts
entered into the general ledger account as debits
must be equal to the amounts entered as credits.

ADVANTAGES OF DOUBLE
ENTRY SYSTEM
 Companies are able to maintain a complete record of every transaction
classified as assets, liabilities, expenses, revenue, capital and recorded
accordingly.
 Allows companies to prepare financial statements easily as it is a scientific
system of recording business financial transactions in a set of accounting
records.
 The trial balance helps to maintain the accuracy of all books of accounts.
 The financial position of a company can be ascertained at the end of each
accounting period, through the preparation of the balance sheet.
 The matching principle allows companies to accurately assess the profit
earned or loss suffered during a period together with details by the
preparation of Profit and Loss Account.
 It provides checks and balances, which prevents frauds and
misappropriations as complete information about assets and liabilities
are recorded.
 Solicits comparative study of results of one year to another to ascertain
reasons of change or for decision making purposes.
 Affords complete information for purposes of control permitting accounts
to be maintained in as much detail as necessary.
DISADVANTAGES OF
DOUBLE ENTRY SYSTEM
• Double-entry bookkeeping system is complex and harder
to understand.
• The overall cost of maintaining the double-entry system
can be high, especially if companies have books of
accounts maintained at different places and need to hire
additional employees to keep track of books for each
department. Costs will further go up as books of accounts
become complex in nature.
• Significant amount of time is required to be spent on
recording and maintaining double-entry books of
accounts, as every entry needs to be entered twice and
cross-checked.
• In case an entire financial transaction is not recorded in
the books of accounts, the error of omission cannot be
detected and the trail balance will still tally despite the
mistakes.
