Transaction is an event. All events are not accounting transactions. An event must have the following features to become a transaction.
1. There must be two parties
No transaction is possible without two parties.just as it takes two hands to clap, so it taked two parties for a transaction to take place. There cannot be a giver unless there is a reciver.
2. The event must ne masurable in terms of money
An event will not be regarded asa transaction, unless it is capable of being measured in terms of money.
3. The event must result in transfer of property or service
Suppose we buy a motor car from s for RS 40000.the Result in transfer of property from s to us, so it is a transaction. Again support it, we pay salary to our employees 2000. This result in transfer of service the employee renders service and we receive it. So it is a transaction.
4.the event must change the financial position of the business.
A. Quantitative change
This changes the total of assets and liabilities of a business concern. Suppose machinery of 50000 is destroyed. This reduces the total value of the adsas of business. As a result the financial position changes and hence it is a transaction.
B.qualitative change
This causes increase or decrease In the different element of assets or less liabilities, but the value of total assets and total liabuliabil remains unchanged.suppose we buy machinery worth 50000.this result in exchy of properties cash 50000 get es out of our possession and at the same time machinery of an equal value comes into our possession. This doesn't change the total value of our asdas, but this causes a qualitative change in our financial position, hence it is a transaction.
