This document outlines the basic bookkeeping process and provides examples. It discusses the three types of accounts - personal, real, and nominal accounts - and the rules for debiting and crediting each type. The bookkeeping process involves recording transactions in books of prime entry, posting to the general ledger, preparing a trial balance, and then finalizing the financial statements with a trading and profit & loss account and a balance sheet. Step-by-step examples are provided of journal entries for various business transactions and the resulting ledger accounts, trial balance, profit and loss statement, and balance sheet.
