The drawing account is a subdivision of the owner's capital account and appears as an expense on the income statement?
Drawing is the withdrawl by the proprietor in case of sole-proprietor ship business and by the partners in case of partnership businesses. But in case of company, there is no drawing as such (Public Ltd. company). Going by the Entity concept (GAAP), since the business or company is a legal (or artificial person) and is separate from proprietor or promoter, it should be debited to personal account of proprietor or promoter. Either it can be shown asset as under current assets or can be shown as deduction from capital (the effect is same as per mathematical equation or Accounting equation). In horizontal concept of balance sheet, as many books in India show, drawing is shown as dedcution from capital. It is not a expense rather it is asset for the company since either the promoter has to refund or it will be deducted from the capital (of the promoter) when the company is closed down. It is pity that very few books carry the meaning and treatment of drawing with detailed explantion for the same. The Accountants who practices the profession, they know that. But some times they even can not explain the story behind the deduction from capital. For query, any body can write to me at sridhar11bhuktha@rediffmail.com
