Accounts project on Ledger and Trial BalanceYash Trivedi
A ledger is an accounting book that records journal entries in individual accounts in chronological order. There are three main types of ledgers: the purchase ledger, which records supplier accounts and purchases; the sales ledger, which records customer accounts and sales; and the general ledger, which organizes transactions from all journals. A trial balance is a worksheet that compiles the debit and credit balances of all ledger accounts to check that the accounting entries are mathematically correct. An unbalanced trial balance indicates there is an error in the accounting process, while a balanced trial balance means the debit and credit totals match.
The document discusses journalizing, which is the process of recording business transactions in a journal. It describes the key components of a journal entry such as the date, account titles, debits and credits, and an explanation. It also outlines the accounting cycle and explains rules for debit and credit, such as how different types of accounts are impacted by debits versus credits. Journalizing ensures all effects of a transaction are properly recorded through debits and credits to update relevant accounts.

Accounting Cycle - Ledgers - Capturing accounting eventFaHaD .H. NooR
What is a general ledger account?
A general ledger account is an account or record used to sort and store balance sheet and income statement transactions. Examples of general ledger accounts include the asset accounts such as Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Investments, Land, and Equipment. Examples of the general ledger liability accounts include Notes Payable, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses Payable, and Customer Deposits. Examples of income statement accounts found in the general ledger include Sales, Service Fee Revenues, Salaries Expense, Rent Expense, Advertising Expense, Interest Expense, and Loss on Disposal of Assets.
Some general ledger accounts are summary records which are referred to as control accounts. The detail that supports each of the control accounts will be found outside of the general ledger in what is known as a subsidiary ledger. For example, Accounts Receivable could be a control account in the general ledger, and there will be a subsidiary ledger which contains each customer's credit activity. The general ledger accounts Inventory, Equipment, and Accounts Payable could also be control accounts and for each there will be a subsidiary ledger containing the supporting detail.
This document provides an overview of bookkeeping concepts including:
- Chart of accounts which lists account names for recording transactions. Common sections include assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses.
- T-accounts which are used to record changes to account balances, with debits on the left and credits on the right.
- Rules of debit and credit which specify whether increases and decreases to different types of accounts are recorded as debits or credits. For assets, increases are debits and decreases are credits.
Several examples then demonstrate how to analyze transactions and apply debits and credits to the appropriate T-accounts.

Several examples then demonstrate how to analyze transactions and apply debits and credits to the appropriate T-accounts.
Here are the steps to analyze and post a journal entry:
1. Analyze the journal entry to determine the accounts involved and whether each account increased or decreased.
2. Determine if each account is an asset, liability, equity, revenue or expense account based on the general ledger chart of accounts.
3. Translate increases in asset and expense accounts and decreases in liability, equity and revenue accounts into debits, and increases in liability, equity and revenue accounts and decreases in asset and expense accounts into credits.
4. Record the debits and credits in the appropriate general ledger accounts.

Accounting Cycle - Journals - Capturing accounting eventFaHaD .H. NooR
What is the accounting cycle?
The accounting cycle is often described as a process that includes the following steps: identifying, collecting and analyzing documents and transactions, recording the transactions in journals, posting the journalized amounts to accounts in the general and subsidiary ledgers, preparing an unadjusted trial balance, perhaps preparing a worksheet, determining and recording adjusting entries, preparing an adjusted trial balance, preparing the financial statements, recording and posting closing entries, preparing a post-closing trial balance, and perhaps recording reversing entries.
Cycle and steps seem to be a carryover from the days of manual bookkeeping and accounting when transactions were first written into journals. In a separate step the amounts in the journal were posted to accounts. At the end of each month, the remaining steps had to take place in order to get the monthly, manually-prepared financial statements.
Today, most companies use accounting software that processes many of these steps simultaneously. The speed and accuracy of the software reduces the accountant's need for a worksheet containing the unadjusted trial balance, adjusting entries, and the adjusted trial balance. The accountant can enter the adjusting entries into the software and can obtain the complete financial statements by simply selecting the reports from a menu. After reviewing the financial statements, the accountant can make additional adjustments and almost immediately obtain the revised reports. The software will also prepare, record, and post the closing entries
Accounting Cycle - Trial Balance - Easy AccountingFaHaD .H. NooR
1. The accounting cycle involves journalizing transactions, posting entries to ledger accounts, preparing a trial balance to check that debits equal credits, making adjustments, and generating financial statements.
2. A trial balance lists accounts and balances to prove that total debits equal total credits, but it does not guarantee the ledger is correct as errors can still exist.
3. Net income represents the increase in owners' equity from profits over the lifetime of a business, and is reflected in the Retained Earnings account rather than as an asset.

THE RECORDING PROCESS
4. THE ACCOUNT
STUDY OBJECTIVE 1
• An account is an individual
accounting record of increases
and decreases in a specific asset,
liability, or owner’s equity item.
• There are separate accounts for
the items we used in transactions
such as cash, salaries expense,
accounts payable, etc.
5. BASIC FORM OF ACCOUNT
STUDY OBJECTIVE 2
• The simplest form an account consists of
1 the title of the account
2 a left or debit side
3 a right or credit side
• The alignment of these parts resembles the
letter T = T account
Left or debit side
Title of Account
Right or credit side
Debit balance Credit balance
6. DEBITS AND CREDITS
• Debit indicates left and Credit indicates right
• Recording $ on the left side of an account is
debiting the account
• Recording $ on the right side is crediting the
account
• If the total of debit amounts is bigger than
credits, the account has a debit balance
• If the total of credit amounts is bigger than
debits, the account has a credit balance
8. Cash
Debits Credits
15,000
Example: The owner makes an initial
investment of $15,000 to start
the business. Cash is debited
as the owner’s Capital is
credited.
DEBITING AN ACCOUNT
9. Example: Monthly rent of $7,000 is paid.
Cash is credited as Rent

STUDY OBJECTIVE 7
• The trial balance is a list of accounts and
their balances at a given time.
• The primary purpose of a trial balance is
to prove debits = credits after posting.
• If debits and credits do not agree, the
trial balance can be used to uncover
errors in journalizing and posting.
63. THE TRIAL BALANCE
The Steps in preparing the Trial Balance are:
1. List the account titles and balances
2. Total the debit and credit columns
3. Prove the equality of the two columns

trial balance may balance even when:
– a transaction is not journalized
– a correct journal entry is not posted
– a journal entry is posted twice
