General Journal • Accuracy • Chronological Record• Double-Entry Accounting• The recording of debit and credit parts of a transaction is called double-entry
accounting. In double-entry accounting, each transaction affects at least two accounts. Both the debit and credit parts are recorded, reflecting the dual effect of each transaction on the business’s records. Double-entry accounting assures that the debits equal the credits.
• Source Documents • A business paper from which information is obtained for a journal entry is called
a source document. • Each transaction is described by a source document that proves that the
transaction did occur.• Five types of source documents
• Checks• Sales Invoices• Receipts• Calculator Tapes• Memorandums
