3. Double-Entry Accounting
― Double-entry accounting is based on a
simple concept: each party in a business
transaction will receive something and give
something in return. In bookkeeping terms,
what is received is a debit and what is given
is a credit. The T account is a representation
of a scale or balance.‖
