[edit] Double Entry Accounting
Every transaction effects at least two accounts.
[edit] Account types =
Double entry accounting depends on the following equation over a time period where
- I = Income
- E = expense
- A = Assets
- L = Liabilities
A − L = I − E
It is handy to move gains from earlier years at the closing of the books into an equity account - equity accounts are actually Liability accounts.
[edit] Other names that specialize account types
| Account type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Equity accounts | Can be thought of as a Liability account and should make any balance go to zero. |
| Cost of goods sold | A special group of expense accounts |
| Other revenue | A negative expense account for things that should not be counted as income |
| other expense | A sub group of expense account. |
