What are the features of incomplete records?
Answer:
Following are the features of
incomplete records:
(i) Nature: It is an
unscientific and unsystematic way of recording transactions. Accounting
principles and accounting standards are not followed properly.

maintained: In general, only cash and personal accounts are maintained
fully. Real accounts and nominal accounts are not maintained properly. Some
transactions are completely omitted.

Lack of uniformity: There is no uniformity in recording the transactions
among different organisations. Different organisations record their
transactions according to their needs and conveniences.
(iv)
Financial
statements may not represent true and fair view: Due to the incomplete
information and inaccurate records of accounts, the profit or loss calculated
from these records cannot be relied upon. It may not represent true
profitability. Assets and liabilities may not represent a true and fair view of
financial position.
(v) Suitability: Only the
business concerns which have no legal obligation to maintain books of accounts
under double entry system may maintain incomplete records. Hence, it may be
maintained by small sized sole traders and partnership firms.

assets and liabilities are available from incomplete records. Hence, it is
difficult to ascertain true and fair view of state of affairs or financial
position as on a particular date.

possible to have internal checks in maintaining accounts to detect errors and
