Excess of Sports Expenses over Sports Funds will be Debited to Income and Expenditure A/c.

In the context of sports expenses and sports funds, the Sports Expenses represent the costs incurred for sporting activities, and Sports Funds represent the amount set aside for these activities (often from donations or fund-raising). When the sports expenses exceed the sports funds, this indicates a deficit or a shortfall. The excess amount is a loss that needs to be accounted for in the Income and Expenditure Account, as it affects the financial results of the period.
