NOTE

DOUBLE ENTRY BOOK KEEPING

Double entry system of book keeping simply means that every debit entry

must have a corresponding credit entry and vice versa. To keep the double

entry rule in book keeping, all entries on the debit side of one account must

be matched with a corresponding credit entry in another account. This

implies that every transaction must be debited in one account and at the

same time credited in another account

 

The following simple rules of double entry should be fully understood and

memorized.

  1. for every credited entry in an account there must be a corresponding

debit entry in another account.

      2. For every debit entry in an account, there must be a corresponding

credit entry in another account.

      3. All transactions must be recorded in two accounts, one account is

debited and another account credited.

APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF DOUBLE ENTRY

  1. Any transaction involves two accounts.
  2. Receiving account or receiver.
  3. Giving account or giver.
  4. Dr. Receiving account     =  With value it receives
  5. Cr. Giving account      =     With value it gives out.
