CONCEPT OF ACCOUNT, DEBIT AND CREDIT

One must get cognizant with these terms before learning actual record keeping based on the rules.
An ‘Account’ is well-defined as a summarized record of transactions related to person or things. EX:-Customers and Vendors, for each customer & Vendor separate account will be maintained.

An Account is expressed as a statement in form of letter ‘T’.It has two sides. The left hand side is called as “Debit” side and the right hand side is “Credit” side.

Each side of the account will indicate effects, so that one can easily take totals of both sides and find out the difference if,any.Such difference in the two sides of an account is called ‘balance’ .If the total of debit side is more than credit side ,the balance is called as ‘debit balance’ and vice versa .
The balance is to be computed at the end of the year (i.e. Accounting Year).Then balances are used to prepare the trail balance.
