For e.g. when creating a general reserve, you do the contrary to the principle i.e. Dr. the giver (Retained earnings) and Cr. the receiver (Other general reserves).
Yes, i understand your thought. Receiver and giver concept is general understanding of the Accounting principle. we should consider other concept & convention of accounting.
Please try to understand that you are referring to the accounting principle that are applocable for personal accounts and reserves whether retained or general are not personal in nature. Kindly do try to digest the basic accounting principles for all types of accounts- Personal, Real and Nominal nature before running into hasty conclusions and posting baseless questions.
