Others 569 views 2 replies

Why is it that P & L is called P & L account  - a "Account"

and

Balance sheet - a "Sheet"?

Why not vce versa?

Thanks

Since on preparing profit & loss account we transfer the ledger to profit & loss account by passing transfer entry so rule of debit & credit is followed that’s why it is called “Account”.
 
 But it is not in case of Balance Sheet no any Account is transfer also rule of debit & credit is not followed that’s why it is called “Sheet

partly agree

 

balance sheet is known as a sheet

bcoz

it shows the whole position , condition, picture  of an enterprises by showing balances on a sheet of a paper

thats why known as a sheet
