  1. Acct 2210 Zeigler - Chp 3: Double Entry Accounting (13 slides) • There are no new transactions in Chapter 3. • Only a new way to organize the information using a “shorthand” tool. • Let’s take some notes & start with page 152 for an overview.

  2. The Accounting Cycle... • Transactions (measurable financial events) occur in the normal course of business. • These transactions are recorded in the General Journalusing Debits/Credits (discuss pg 152 data) • These journal entries are then “posted” to the General Ledger(Collection of all accounts – pg 153) • Adjusting Entries are made/posted (pg 152/153) • Financial Stmtsare then prepared (pg 154). • The Closing Process thentakes place (pg 155).

  3. The “General Journal” (Ex 3-2, pg 152)

  4. What is a “Chart of Accounts”?

  5. The Accounting Process • Along the way…. (see pg 154) • We can prepare a “Trial Balance” at any time to “test the equality” of debits & credits. Note: This is not a financial stmt, but……. • Remember.., the accounting equation must always hold true and total debits must always equal total credits.

  6. Debits & Credits (pg 150) • Every recordable transaction (event) impacts at least two accounts. • Double-entry bookkeeping • ANY account can be increased or decreased. • Debit means “left side” • Credit means “right side”

  7. Debits & Credits (pg 150) • Assets: • Increased with debits, Decreased with credits • Liabilities and Equity: • Increased with credits, Decreased with debits • For each transaction: DEBITS = CREDITS (No exceptions!) • We will use “T-Accounts” to analyze the effect of any transaction.

  8. “AJE’s” (from Chapter 2)…. • Accruals and Deferrals often necessitate the use of Adjusting Journal Entries (AJE). • Adjusting Journal Entry: an entry required at the end of the accounting period to properly update the income stmt and balance sheet. • i.e. adjusting entries update the account balances prior to the creation of financial statements.

  9. The Closing Process Transfers net income (or loss) and dividends to Retained Earnings. Establishes zero balances in all revenue, expense, and dividend accounts.

  10. Closing Entries (pg 155) • “Temporary” accounts”: • Income statementaccounts, and • Dividends • These temporary accounts are closed at the end of the accounting period. • Brings their balances to ZERO. • Net Income and Dividendsthen flow intoRetained Earnings on the Balance Sheet.

  11. Debits = Credits And,.. to conclude prior to exam review, a musical interlude to help us remember debits and credits…. Who says accounting can’t be fun? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j71Kmxv7smk
