The process begins with recording entries, organizing them in ledgers, verifying balances, and finally preparing the company’s financial statements
Double Entry System
According to the double-entry system of accounting and bookkeeping, each business transaction must be recorded in at least two accounts. The amount recorded as a debit in this system must match the amount recorded as a credit. Accurate reporting is dependent mainly on proper data entry.
Ledger Entry
A Ledger Entry is a written account of a company's financial transactions. A Ledger Entry is a written account of a company's financial transactions. It should contain the following:
The accurate date
The sums to be debited and credited
The transaction account has a unique reference number
A unique reference number (URN)
Trial Balance
A trial balance is a list of all the general ledger accounts comprising capital and income that have been entered into a company's ledger. Each nominal ledger account's name and the amount of that account's nominal ledger balance are listed below. There is either a debit balance or a credit balance for each nominal ledger account.
Financial Statements
