•  In small organizations, the transactions generally will be in thousands and in big organizations they may be in lakhs.

• It is humanly impossible to remember all these transactions. Further, it may not be possible to find out the final result of the business without recording and analyzing these transactions. 

• Accounting came into practice as an aid to human memory by maintaining a systematic record of business transactions.

Basic Accounting rules

• Before recording a transaction, it is necessary to find out which of the accounts is to be debited and which is to be credited. The following three different rules have been laid down for the three classes of accounts….

• 1.Personal Accounts: The account of the person receiving benefit (receiver) is to be debited and the account of the person     giving the benefit (given) is to be credited.

 

• 2.Real Accounts: When an asset is coming into the business, account of that asset is to be debited .When an asset is going out of the business, the account of that asset is to be credited.

• 3. Nominal Accounts: When an expense is incurred or loss encountered, the account representing the expense or loss is to be debited . When any income is earned or gain made, the account representing the income of gain is to be credited.
