Double-entry system: The double-entry system involves the bookkeeping of two accounts. Every transaction results in at least two changes in the financial position of the business at a time. This makes it significant for both the transactions to be recorded, using the “rules of debit and credit.” One effect is termed as debit and the other is termed as credit.

  • Increase in assets account, increase in expenses account, and decrease in liabilities account should be debited.
  • Decrease in assets account, increase in revenue account, and increase in liabilities account should be credited.

  • Personal account: Debit the receiver and credit the giver.
  • Real account: Debit the assets and credit the liabilities.
  • Nominal account: Debit all expenses and loses and credit all incomes or profits.
