Debits vs. Credits

You are currently viewing a sample of the Cram Kit. Click here to unlock everything.

For every debit, there must be a credit.

This is referred to as double entry accounting.

It ensures that as we record transactions, the accounting equation...

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

...remains true at all times!

Every journal entry must have a debit and an equal credit.

We'll determine which account gets debited vs. credited by its normal balance!
