Question:
What are the possible reasons for keeping incomplete records?

Answer:

1. Simple Method : It is an easy and simple method of recording business transactions because it does not require any special knowledge of the principles of the double entry system.

2. Less Expensive : Only the cash book and some of the ledger accounts are maintained under this system. As such, the staff required for maintaining the accounts is also less in comparison to the double entry system.

3. Suitable for small concerns : This method is most suitable to small business concerns which have mostly cash transactions and very few assets and liabilities.

4. Easy to calculate profit or loss : It is easier to calculate profit or loss under this method. For this purpose, only the closing capital has to be compared with the opening capital along with some adjustments.

5. Flexible Method : The system is more practical and rejects the strict rules of double entry system. It can be easily changed and adjusted according to the needs of a particular business.
