2. Introduction

The financial records of an entity only deal with transactions that are measured in monetary
terms. The duality of the financial accounting system better known as the double-entry system
is a method whereby the transactions are recorded systematically to show the giving and
receiving of value.

The accounting cycle details the formal accounting process. The steps discussed in this
learning unit are as follows (indicated by yellow shading):

Transactions ― The accounting process starts once a transaction has taken place.


Source documents ― Source documents provide the evidence for a transaction having taken
place


Books of prime entry ― The source document is prepared and the information is entered
into the books of prime entry


Ledger accounts ― The entries from the books of prime entry are posted to the
general ledger, creditors’ ledger, and debtors’ ledger.


Trial balance ― The trial balance is drawn up from the accounts in the
general ledger


Financial statements ― The financial statements are drawn up from the trial
balance


Please remember the following points at all times:

RECAP  Total debits in the transaction must equal the total credits in that
transaction!
 For every debit, there must be a credit!
 Debits are on the left, credits are on the right!
 The equation must balance!
