|
||
Business transactions are events that have a monetary impact on the
|
||
financial statements of an organization. When accounting for these
|
||
transactions, we record numbers in two accounts, where the debit
|
||
column is on the left and the credit column is on the right.
|
||
|
||
A debit is an accounting entry that either increases an asset or
|
||
expense account, or decreases a liability or equity account. It is
|
||
positioned to the left in an accounting entry.
|
||
|
||
A credit is an accounting entry that either increases a liability or
|
||
equity account, or decreases an asset or expense account.
