Rather, suspense account should represent decrease or increase of value. So reverse the above transaction like
Cash in hand a/c 15,00,00
To Suspense a/c 15,00,000
then credit it to trial balance. To discuss further, suspense account nature can be any type ie., nominal or real or personal based on the transaction. Leaving all of this, I could not use my imagination to create a suspense ledger. But I’m sure, if you record cash in hand on debit side of trial balance and suspense on credit side, there will be a mismatch on trial balance. But trial balance debit and credit tallies, which means suspense account here acts like a contra asset. This is not correct because it will not remind an accountant that balance is odd. So, full cash in hand is debited and suspense account should be credited to highlight the trial balance difference to users.
Does anyone else else have any opinions about this?
