why we have to post loss on assets side

Answer Posted / binoy

Profit is what we owe to the shareholders or owners so it
becomes the liability of the company thats why it is shown

Loss is what we own, the shareholders or owners has to
compensate the loss so for this reason loss becomes the
asset and thus is poested to asset side
