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
