Question 6

What is a suspense account? Is it necessary that is suspense account will balance off after rectification of the errors detected by the accountant? If not, then what happens to the balance still remaining in the suspense account?

Answer

Suspense Account : Sometimes, inspired by the best efforts of an accountant, all the errors are not located and the Trial Balance does not tally. In such a situation, to avoid the delay in the preparation of final accounts, the difference in the trial balance is placed to a newly opened account known as “Suspense Account” and the Trial Balance tallies.

If the debit side of the Trial Balance exceeds the credit side, the difference will be put on the credit side of the suspense account and if the credit side of the Trial Balance exceeds the debit side, the suspense account will be debited. After including the balance of suspense account in the Trial Balance, it will appear to be tallied.
