Dr. P N Rath
Errors of Principle
This error arises when transactions are not recorded as
per the fundamental principle of Book-keeping.
An entry is made in the wrong class of account.
For instance, purchase of furniture is debited to Purchase
Account, instead of Furniture Account; Wages paid for the
erection of plant is debited to Wages Account, instead of
Plant Account; the amount spent on extension of building
is debited to Repairs Account instead of Building Account
etc.
These types of errors do not affect the total debits and
total credits but affect the principle of book-keeping.

Suspense Accounts
Dr. P N Rath
When the trial balance does not agree, the business
man normally put the difference in the TB to a
newly opened account called suspense account.
Then TB is balance automatically. Later when errors
are discovered , these are corrected through
suspense account. When all the said errors are
rectified suspense account is closed automatically.
Errors affecting the TB , which was discussed above
are known as one side errors and these errors are
closed through suspense account.
