• GENERAL JOURNAL AND LEDGER
• GENERAL JOURNAL: may be used as a book to record all transactions
before posting to the general ledger.
• The DOUBLE ENTRY PRINCIPLE is followed when recording is done.
• For every debit entry there is a corresponding credit entry.
• Asset accounts are debited with an increase.
• Equity and liability accounts are credited with an increase.
• Equity is affected by changes to capital, drawings and profit (resultin
from income and expenses).
• Thus capital and income accounts are credited with an increase (they
increase equity).
• Drawings and expense accounts are debited with an increase (they
decrease equity).
