    The Balance Sheet Equation always stays in balance.

    Each transaction affects at least two accounts.

    Often it affects more.

    Some transactions affect only one side of the balance

    sheet equation; some transactions affect both sides.

    As a Result of Double Entry Accounting:As a Result of Double Entry Accounting:

    The lists of resources and sources, oncewith little connection, are now connected

    Errors are more easily discovered. A quick

    check is performed by summing both lists

    (the resources and the sources). If they areequal, it is said that they balance, if not,

    there is an error that needs to be found and

    corrected.

    How Does DoubleHow Does Double--Entry Accounting Work?Entry Accounting Work?

    Remember: A transaction is the basis of bookkeeping and

    must meet the following criteria:

    1)Exchange 2)External

    3)Evidence 4)Dollars

    What do you do when you have a transaction?

    We need to revisit the balance sheet to explain the

    connection between transactions and double entry

    Journal Entries and AccountsJournal Entries and Accounts

    A journal entry lists all the accounts debited and

    creditedThe journal entrys debits = its credits

    Accounts record all the journal entries (from the

    general journal or more specialized journals)

    For demonstration and analysis purposes a T-

    account is often used as a simplified version of anaccount

    Example of Journal Entry:

    An organization takes out a bank loan worth $1000

    General Ledger and Trial BalanceGeneral Ledger and Trial Balance

    The general ledger is made up of all the accounts

    A trial balance determines if the ledger is in balance

    (the sum of the debits = the sum of the credits)

    Ledger can be in balance without being free of errors

    The trial balance is the basis for the Balance Sheet,

    Income Statement, and Retained Earnings Statement(Cash Flow Statement is derived from the other 3

    statements)
