Double-Entry AccountingDouble-Entry AccountingDouble-Entry AccountingDouble-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.”
