        Session 3 Double entry bookkeeping
  ☆The duality concept and double entry bookkeeping
  Duality concept: each and every transaction has a double effect on the business and the accounting equations.(A= C + L)
  Rules of double entry bookkeeping:
  ● Each time a transaction is recorded, both effects must be taken into account.
  ● These two effects are equal and opposite such that the accounting equation will always prove correct.
  Assets – Liabilities = Capital
  ● Traditionally, one effect is referred to as the debit side ( Dr.) and the other as the credit side of the entry (Cr.)
  ☆Ledger accounts, debits and credits
  Ledger account:
  ● transactions are recorded in the relevant ledger accounts. There is a ledger
  account for each asset, liability, revenue and expenses’ item, and for the owner’s capital.
  ● Each account has two sides: the debit and credit sides.
  ● The duality concept means that each transaction will affect two ledger accounts
  ● One account will be debited and the other credited
  ● Whether an entry is to debit or credit side of an account depend on the types of account and the transaction.
