Journal:
Journal is the book, where the debit and credit entries of the accounting transactions are recorded in a chronological order. Every company must follow at least the basic form of journal called the ‘General journal’.
Journal entry:
Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.
Accounting rules for Journal entries:
- To record increase balance of account: Debit assets, expenses, losses and credit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
- To record decrease balance of account: Credit assets, expenses, losses and debit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
T-account:
- T-account is the form of the ledger account, where the journal entries are posted to this account. It is referred to as the T-account, because the alignment of the components of the account resembles the capital letter ‘T’.
- The components of the T-account are as follows:
-
- a) The title of the account
- b) The left or debit side
- c) The right or credit side
Unadjusted trial balance:
The unadjusted trial balance is the summary of all the ledger accounts that appears on the ledger accounts before making adjusting journal entries.
To Prepare: The general journal entries to record each transaction.
