In earlier article, we have discuss the Chart of accounts. This article relates particularly the advantages of setting up proper set of classified accounts.
| Advantages of a properly designed classification of accounts: |
- It facilitates the recording of business transactions by the provision of suitable and self-defined ledger accounts;
|
- It facilitates the preparation of financial and revenue statements without any further re-arrangement and analysis of information contained in the ledger accounts
|
- It provides for expansion or alteration in the ledger accounts resulting from necessary changes in the business or industry
|
- It provides the plan for the accounting records inasmuch as the original data and books of original entry will be in keeping with the particular classification desired
|
- When represented by a chart of accounts ( usually contained in an Accounting manual), such acts as a guide to the staff in the recording of transactions
|
- By the use of account symbols,economy in clerical effort is achieved
|
- It materially aids the summarization of accounts for the purpose of comparison
