Double-Entry Accounting “ Double-entry accounting is based on a simple concept: each party in a business transaction will receive something and give something in return. In bookkeeping terms, what is received is a debit and what is given is a credit. The T account is a representation of a scale or balance.” Luca Pacioli Developer of Double-Entry Accounting Scale or Balance Receive DEBIT Give CREDIT T account Left Side Receive DEBIT Right Side Give CREDIT

21
∙ Ledger - A ledger is the principal book or computer file for recording and totaling monetary transactions by account, with debits and credits in separate columns and a beginning balance and ending balance for each account. - The ledger is a permanent summary of all amounts entered in supporting journals which list individual transactions by date. - General ledger representing the 5 main account types: assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and equity.
22
Account:Account No. DateItemPost. RefDebit Credit Balance DebitCredit ∙ Below is a sample of an account ledger. - Every transaction flows from a journal to one or more ledgers. - A company's financial statements are generated from summary totals in the ledgers.
23
∙ Posting - posting is the method of transferring the credit and debit entries from the journal entries to the ledger. - In the ledger a separate account is opened in every account. - All the credit and debit entries are accordingly entered or recorded.
24
∙ Posting steps: 1. Enter the date of the journal entry in the date column of the ledger. 2. In the posting reference column, write a "G" for general journal, followed by the page number of the journal that the entry came from. Ex: page 1 of the general journal would be abbreviated as G1. 3. Enter the amount of the debit or credit in the respective column.
25
4. Calculate the new balance. Keep in mind what the normal balance is for the account. If the account has a normal debit balance and the entry is for a debit, you would add the two together to get the new debit balance. If the account has a normal debit balance and the entry is for a credit, you would subtract the amount of the entry from the prior balance to get your new debit balance. The same concept applies to accounts with normal credit balances. 5. Once you have filled in all of the information in the ledger, you need to take the account number of the account that you are working on and write it in the posting reference column on the journal on the line of the entry that you have just completed posting.
