Rules of Double-Entry


1. Every transaction affects at least TWO accounts.

2. There must be at least one debit and one credit.

3. The total debit must be equal to the total credit.

4. The particulars in one account refer to the name of the other account in which the double entry is recorded.



We will now use the double-entry procedure to record a few transactions. Before we start, it will be helpful to analyze the transactions carefully.
