"A trading account reveals the financial position of an organisation." Comment.
उत्तर
The statement "A trading account reveals the financial position of an organization" is incorrect.
A trading account mainly shows the results of purchasing and selling items, with a focus on the gross profit or loss from these transactions. It determines the gap between sales income and the cost of goods sold. However, it does not provide a complete overview of the organization's overall financial status, including assets, liabilities, and equity. The balance sheet reveals the entire financial status.
