Accounting systems are designed to show the
increases and decreases in each financial statement item
as a separate record. This record is called an account.

Detailed record of increases and
decreases in specific assets, liabilities,
equities, revenues, or expenses.
Separate accounts are maintained for each item

Every transaction affects at least two accounts.
2-1
32
This transaction is initially entered in a record called a
journal. The process of recording a transaction in the
journal is called journalizing.
Journalizing 2-1
33
Journalizing requires the following steps:
1. Record the date. If this is the first entry on the page, the year is inserted above the month. As long as the month does not change, the rest of the journal entries on the require on the day be recorded.
2. The title of the account debited is listed in the Description column.
(Continued)
2-1
34
3. Enter the amount in the Debit column.
4. Record the credit account in the Description column.
5. Enter the amount in the Credit column.
Watch these steps take place as the entry to record Chris Clark’s deposit is
presented in the next slide.

The equality of debits and credits for each transaction is built into the
accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity.
Because of this double equality, this system is called the double-
entry accounting system.
2-1

2. For each account affected by the transaction, determine whether the account increases or decreases.
3. Determine whether each increase or decrease should be recorded as a debit or a credit.
1. Determine whether an asset, liability, owner’s equity, revenue, expense, or drawing account is affected by the transaction.

proven at the end of each accounting period by
preparing a trial balance.

Trial Balance
93
93
The steps in preparing a trial balance are as follows:
1. List the name of the company, the title of the trial balance, and the date
the trial balance is prepared.2. List the accounts from the ledger and
enter their debit or credit balance in the Debit or Credit column of the
trial balance.

Errors Not Affecting the Trial Balance
• Failure to record transaction or to post a transaction.
• Recording the same erroneous amount for both the debit and the credit parts of a transaction.
• Recording the same transaction more than once.
• Posting a part of a transaction correctly as debit or credit but to the wrong account.

Example Exercise 2-6
For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the trial balance totals to be unequal. If the error would cause the trial balance total to be unequal, indicate whether the debit or credit total is higher and by how much.a. Payment of a cash withdrawal of $5,600 was
journalized and posted as a debit of $6,500 to Salary Expense and a credit of $6,500 to Cash.
b. A fee of $2,850 earned from a client was debited to Accounts Receivable for $2,580 and credited to Fees Earned for $2,850.
c. A payment of $3,500 to a creditor was posted as a debit of $3,500 to Accounts Payable and a debit of $3,500 to Cash.
2-3

101
Follow My Example 2-6
a. The totals are equal since both the debit and credit entries were journalized and posted for $6,500.
b. The totals are unequal. The credit total is higher by $270 ($2,850 – $2,580).
c. The totals are unequal. The debit total is higher by $7,000 ($3,500 + $3,500).
