分析交易的步驟
Each transaction must at least have 2 effects on the equation.
Decide what accounts** are affected by the transaction. Decide what elements they belong to (assets, liabilities, owners’ equity, revenue, expenses).
Determine if the transaction will increase or decrease the account.
Determine Debit/Credit.
The accounting equation MUST remain in balance after each
transaction
Total Debit = Total Credit

journal

Steps:
311
STEP II: POSTING
JOURNAL ENTRY TO
LEDGER ACCOUNTS
3-22
2. Post each journal entry to ledger accounts (at the end of accounting period)
Posting simply means updating the
ledger accounts for the effects of
the transactions recorded in the journal.
Useful to calculate the account balances.
KEY POINT
In manual accounting systems, this can be a tedious and timeconsuming process, but in computer-based systems, it is done instantly and automatically. In addition, computerized posting greatly reduces the risk of errors.

Accounting Periods (p104)
Time Period Principle To provide users of financial statements with timely information, profit is measured for relatively short accounting periods of equal length.
This principle allows the life of a company to be divided into artificial time periods such as months and years so that profit can be measured for a specific period of time (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually). Without this principle, a company’s income statement could only be reported at the end of its life.
3-48
The Recognition Principle: When to record Revenue (p104)
Recognition Principle Revenue should be recognized at the time goods are sold and services are rendered, regardless of when cash is received.
325
3-49
The Matching Principle: When to record Expenses (p105)
Matching Principle
Expenses should be recorded in the period in which they are used up to generate revenue, regardless of when cash is paid.
