Lesson Summary
So we learnt how to handle an Internal Reconstruction
sum .
The first step is to pass Journal Entries , Credting
Reconstruction A/c with all gains and Debiting the various
stake holders who are sacrificing
The Assets and Liabilities should simultaneously be taken
at their revised valuation
The remaining credit balance in Reconstruction A/c
should be transferred to Capital Reserve A/c.
