  5. Double-entry bookkeeping is an organised technique of accounting for financial transactions. In double-entry bookkeeping, as opposed to single-entry accounting (which is better suited to simple bookkeeping), each account is recorded against two accounts: a debit is recorded against one, and a credit is recorded against the other. This keeps the basic equation of accounting: This presentation is created bys20

  6. Assets = Liabilities + Equity Every transaction involves two or more accounts. As an example, when a business buys office equipment in cash, then there will be one account (Office Equipment) which will increase and the other (Cash) which will decrease. The two effects help maintain a balanced set of records. This presentation is created bys20

  7. Core Principles of Double-Entry Bookkeeping The system relies on the following core principles: 1. Every transaction has two sides – For every debit, there’s an equal and opposite credit. 2. Debits and credits must balance – The total amount debited must always equal the total amount credited. 3. Accounts are categorized – Transactions are recorded across five key categories: Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenues, and Expenses.

  8. How Double-entry Bookkeeping Works – a Step-by-step Overview To understand the process better, let’s walk through the steps involved in double-entry bookkeeping: Step 1: Identify the transaction First, you need to identify the nature of the financial activity. Is it an income, expense, asset acquisition, liability creation, or equity change? This presentation is created bys20

  9. Step 2: Determine the accounts affected Every transaction affects at least two accounts. For example, if you make a sale, it impacts both your Sales Revenue (credit) and Accounts Receivable or Cash (debit). Step 3: Apply the debit and credit rules 1. Assets increase with a debit and decrease with a credit. 2. Liabilities and equity increase with a credit and decrease with a debit. 3. Expenses are debits. 4. Revenues are credits.

  10. Step 4: Record the transaction in the journal The journal is a chronological record of all transactions. It lists each entry, showing which account is debited and which is credited. Step 5: Post to ledger accounts Each journal entry is transferred to the respective ledger accounts. This helps in organizing transactions by account type. This presentation is created bys20

  11. Step 6: Prepare the trial balance Once all transactions are recorded, a trial balance is prepared to ensure that total debits equal total credits. If they don’t match, there’s likely an error. Step 7: Financial statements Finally, the trial balance is used to generate financial statements like the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. This presentation is created bys20
