The Accounting Equation
Assets are the economic resources
of a business that are expected to
produce a benefit in the future.
Liabilities are “outsider claims,”
or economic obligations
payable to outsiders.
Owners’ equity represents the
“insider claims” of a business.
32
The Double Entry System
33
Double-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.”
35
TheDouble-Entry
The Double EntrySystem
System
• Each transaction must still be analyzed to
determine which accounts are involved,
whether the accounts increase or decrease,
and how much the balance will change.
36
TheDouble-Entry
The Double Entry system
System
• Some businesses enter into thousands of
transactions daily or even hourly.

record these transactions in a systematic
manner.

– Capital or owner’s interest in the business

transactions:
Transactions Documentation Journal
53
The Recording Process
• The process starts with source documents,
which are the supporting original records of
any transaction.
– Examples are sales slips or invoices, check
stubs, purchase orders, receiving reports, and
cash receipt slips.
54
The Recording Process
• In the second step, an analysis of the
transaction is placed in the book of original
entry, which is a chronological record of
how the transactions affect the balances of
applicable accounts.
– The most common example is the
general journal - a diary of all events
(transactions) in an entity’s life.
55
The Recording Process
• In the third step, transactions are entered
into the ledger.
– Remember that a transaction is not entered in
just one place; it must be entered in each
account that it affects.
– Depending on the nature of the organization,
analysis of the transactions could occur
continuously or periodically.
56
The Recording Process
• The fourth step includes the preparation of
the trial balance, which is a simple listing of
all accounts from the ledger with their
balances.
– Aids in verifying accuracy and
in preparing the financial statements
– Prepared periodically as necessary
57
The Recording Process
• In the final step, the financial statements are
prepared.
– Financial statements may be prepared after each
quarter of the year.

– the companies may prepare
financial statements at
various other intervals to
meet the needs of their users.
