Best Answer

Nominal Accounts are income statement accounts and include revenue, gain, expense & loss accounts. The balances of these accounts are closed as a rule to a summary account at the end of each fiscal year to determine the net income for the period and are included in retained earnings. The numbers in the nominal accounts will portray the performance or results of operations of a company for a particular period.

Real Accounts are balance sheet accounts, which include assets and liabilities. The numbers in these accounts disclose the company's financial position: everything the company owns and owes.
