THE
ACCOUNT
OR THE
LEDGER
An account is an individual accounting recording of increase and decrease in a specific asset, liability, expenses revenue, or owner’s equity item.
A Group of accounts maintained by a company is called the ledger.
There are separate accounts for the items we used in transactions such as Cash, Salaries Expense, Sales Purchase etc.
A ledger contains all the assets, liabilities, and owner’s
equity, cash, salaries accounts
15 Dr Masharique Ahmad Asst. Prof, Deptt. of
BASIC FORM OF ACCOUNT
STUDY OBJECTIVE 2
•
The simplest form an account consists of
❑ The title of the account ❑ Left or debit side
❑ Right or credit side
•
The alignment of these parts resembles the letter T =
T
account
Left or debit side
Title of Account
Right or credit side Debit balance Credit balance
DEBITS AND CREDITS
❖ Debit indicates left and Credit indicates right
❖ Recording SR. on the left side of an account is debiting (Dr) the account
❖ Recording SR. on the right side is crediting (Cr) the account
❖ If the total of debit amounts is bigger than credits, the account has a
debit balance
❖ If the total of credit amounts is bigger than debits, the account has a
credit balance
Balance of Accounts:
Either will be; Dr OR Cr
Debit (Dr) = Excess of DEBIT balance over CREDIT balance, Gives Debit Balance of the concern accounts.
Example; Debit ˃ Credit = Debit (Dr) Balance
Credit (Cr) = Excess of CREDIT balance over DEBIT balance, Gives Credit balance of the concern accounts.
Example; Credit ˃ Debit = Credit (Cr) Balance
17 Dr Masharique Ahmad Asst. Prof, Deptt. of
DOUBLE-ENTRY SYSTEM
•
Equal debits and credits made accounts
for each transaction
•
Total debits always equal the total
credits
•
Accounting equation always stays in
balance
