22 March 2016 Personal Accounts – The accounts which relate to an individual, firm, company are called personal accounts. It can be classified into three categories –

1. Natural Personal account- It refers to the accounts of human beings. For example tom account, Stephen account etc…

2. Artificial Personal account – It refers to accounts that do not have physical existence like accounts of companies for example Microsoft account, Google account etc….

3. Representative Personal account – It refers to those accounts which represent a particular group of persons. They are not in the name of any person or organization, but indirectly represent obligation towards individual or group of people.
