- Every transaction is recorded twice, with equal debits and credits.
- The accounting equation must always remain balanced: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
Accounting Equation
- Assets represent what the business owns.
- Liabilities represent what the business owes to others.
- Equity represents the owner's investment in the business.
Accounting Basics
- Debit: Increases assets and decreases liabilities and equity.
- Credit: Decreases assets and increases liabilities and equity.
