SINGLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING
use of your cheque book is single entry accounting
cheques issued are recorded as a reduction inthe bank account, but there is not a separaterecord kept for each type of expense paid
for instance, if groceries were purchased, thereis no entry to show an increase to the total cost ofgroceries purchased during the year
the cheque register is part of the accounting system
it is referred to as an account

Single entry accounting
Single entry accounting has been used forproprietorships where the owner prepares an incomestatement primarily for tax purposes

recorded
no attempt to record the changes in the assetand liability account balances

DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING
Double entry accounting creates an account for eachtype of asset, liability, equity, revenue and expense
Every entry into a double entry accounting systemmust balance

be recorded

ending bank balance per the bank statementagrees to the balance in the accounting records

the accounting equation is the foundation ofdouble entry accounting
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITIES
assets acquired by the business must be paid for,and the funds are either borrowed or invested by
the owners
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities

10/62
10
Double entry accounting requires that the accountingrecords of the business balance, just as the accountingequation balances
to accomplish this, left and right side entries arerecorded
DEBIT - an entry on the left side
- also used as a verb, to make an entry on the
left
CREDIT - an entry on the right side
- also used as a verb, to make an entry on
the right

TIPS TO HELP LOCATE ERRORS
Supplemental topic Chapter 2 - page 80
If total debits do not equal total credits, it is possible tonarrow down the places to look. If debits = 14,720 and
credits = 14,270, the difference is 14,720 - 14270 =450. Since 450 is divisible evenly by 9, it is likely to bea transposition error. 450 / 9= 50.
The result, 50, also provides guidance on where to
look. The transposed numbers are 5 digits apart, andthe transposition is between the hundreds and tenscolumn. For example 1,380 recorded as 1,830 or 940recorded as 490.
