Double Entry System• Record transactions in a way that keeps the profit

equation in balance. – Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

– Each transaction is recorded with at least• One debit

• One credit

• Total debits must equal total credits

C2 - 13

Total debits = Total credits

• Increase asset (debit) and then– Decrease asset (credit)– Increase liability (credit)– Increase owner’s equity (credit)

• Decrease asset (credit) and then– Increase asset (debit)– Decrease liability (debit)– Decrease liability (debit)

C2 - 14


• Increase liability (credit) and then– Increase asset (debit)– Decrease liability (debit)– Decrease owner’s equity (debit)

• Decrease liability (debit) and then– Decrease asset (credit)– Increase liability (credit)– Increase owner’s (credit)

C2 - 15


• Increase owner’s equity (credit) and then– Increase asset (debit)– Decrease liability (debit)– Decrease owner’s equity (debit)

• Decrease owner’s equity (debit) and then– Decrease asset (credit)– Increase liability (credit)– Increase owner’s (credit)
