The steps are as follows:
1. Ignore opening and dosing cash and bank balances appearing in receipts and payments account.
2. Eliminate all items of capital receipts and payments.
3. Ascertain income of the relevant year by deducting from the total receipts the income received on account of previous and future years and by adding the income accrued due in the year but not received and income received in the previous year but relating to this year.
4. Ascertain expenditure of the relevant period by deducting expenditure both relating to preceding period and succeeding period from the total payments and by adding the expenditure outstanding at the end and expenditure prepaid in the beginning.
5. Make adjustments, as per additional information, such as depreciation, bad debts etc., if any.
