Journal entries are recording of the transaction in the accounting journal in a chronological order. The entries are recorded as the Debit balances and Credit balances.
The golden rules of accounting that are needed to be kept in mind for journalizing:
- Personal account: The receiver needs to be debit; the giver needs to be credit.
- Real account: What comes in needs to be debit; what goes out needs to be credit”
- Nominal account: All expenses and losses need to be debit; all incomes and gains needs to be credit.”
