Disadvantages of Single Entry System :- Single Entry System has the following disadvantages:
(i) Arithmetical Accuracy cannot be Proved: Trial Balance cannot be prepared hence, arithmetical
accuracy of books cannot be proved or tested. Chances of error, mischief or fraud remaining
undetected are high.
(ii) No Control on Assets: Since assets accounts are not maintained, it is difficult to keep full control, in
order to avoid misappropriations of assets.
(iii) Correct Profit or Loss cannot be Determined: Trading and Profit and Loss Account cannot be
prepared hence, correct profit earned or loss incurred during the accounting period cannot be
determined.
(iv) Financial Position of the Business cannot be assessed: In the absence of assets accounts, it is
difficult to determine correct financial position of the business on any particular day by preparing a
Balance Sheet.
(v) No Internal Check: Since internal check is not possible, the method leaves room for errors and a
fraud, besides their detection becomes difficult.
(vi) Difficult to Ascertain the Value of Business: The records being inadequate, it is difficult to value the
business, especially goodwill.
(vii) Incomplete and Unscientific System: This system is incomplete and unscientific as both the aspects
of a transaction are not recorded and no set rules are followed for recording them.
(viii) Comparative Study is Difficult: A major defect of this system is that the financial position of the
current year cannot be compared with that of the previous year due to incomplete information of
transactions of business.
METHODS OF Ascertaining Profit under the Single Entry System:- The Profit/Loss
in case of Single Entry System can be ascertained by the following two methods:
For determining the profit, capital in the beginning of the year must also be determined, if
necessary, by preparing a Statement of Affairs as in the beginning of the year. If the capital at the
end of the year exceeds that in the beginning, it is taken as a profit. If, on the other hand, the capital
in the beginning was more than that at the end, a loss. However, following two adjustments must be
kept in mind for determining the profit:
(i) Adjustments for Capital Introduced: If the proprietor brought in additional capital during
the year, it should be deducted from the capital at the end (since this increase is not due to
profit but fresh introduction of capital).
(ii) Adjustment for Drawings: Drawings by the proprietor should be added to the capital at the
end—had the drawings not been made, the capital at the end of the year would have been
higher.
Profit = Capital at the end + Drawings - Additional capital introduced - Capital in the beginning
1. First, prepare the Statement of Affairs in the beginning, for calculating capital in the
beginning.
2. Then, prepare the Statement of Affairs at the end in order to calculate the capital at the
end.
3. Adjust the capital at the end by adding drawings and deducting there from capital
introduced during the year.
4. From the adjusted capital at the end deduct capital in the beginning. This difference is either
a profit or a loss.
