Books of Accounts
The books of accounts are also called accounting books. It is where transactions
that the business enters into and events that affect the business are recorded
Types of journals:
a. General Journal- for the recording of transactions that cannot be recorded
in the special Journals
b. Special Journals/Subsidiary Journals- used to record specific repetitive
and voluminous transactions of the business.
Ledgers (book of final entry) the ledger classifies transactions in the journal to
their respective accounts. The entries in the journals are transferred and
classified on a per-account basis in order to compute for the ending balances of
each account to be reported. This transfer is called "Posting".
All the processes in an accounting system must observe the equality of the
accounting equation,which is basically an algebraic equation as shown below:
Trial balance is a financial report that lists the ending balances of a company's
accounts. It's a key tool in double-entry bookkeeping that helps ensure the accuracy of
a company's financial records.
