Question
Explain the concept of The Dual Aspect Principle.
Advertisements
Solution
This principle suggests that every debit has a corresponding and equal credit. There must be a giver of benefit and also a receiver of the same. Suppose X purchases a car for ₹ 3,00,000. He will get the car and will pay cash ₹ 3,00,000. So one account (car) will be debited and another account (cash) will be credited with the same amount. This principle has given rise to the double entry system. It is due to this principle that both the sides of the Balance Sheet are equal and the accounting equation is always true, i.e.,
Capital = Assets - Liabilities
