Accounting is an important function in any business. Through accounting we can keep a complete track of income as well as expenses borne in a business. Accounting is the foundation of any financial analysis. There are mainly 2 types of accounting processes:

• Single-entry system
• Double-entry system

The double-entry system is more beneficial than the single-entry system. This is the reason behind the wide acceptance of double accounting system all over the world.

What is double-entry system?

The double-entry system is a system of bookkeeping. Here every financial transaction is recorded in at least 2 different accounts. In the general ledger, each credit is offset by a debit. If we put it simply, every transaction for a credit and debit entry are noted in different accounts.

For example, you drank tea during some office work and paid through cash payment or paid for a rickshaw to go somewhere. Now in accounts, you will show credit of this money in the office account and debit in the cash account. In the double-entry system, both credit and debit have to be entered for every transaction. Credit entries are those transactions that bring money into the account. Whereas every payment done is recorded in the debit section. In a nutshell, the amount of entry in both credit and debit accounts should be equal.

Benefits of double-entry system

There are many advantages of a double-entry system such as:

• The accounting is accurate.
• You can enter the details of all your transactions.
• With all transactions recorded, it is easy to reconcile later.
• You can easily look at the outstanding amount.
• Tax payment is also easy.
• Any fraud can be easily detected.
• It simplifies year-to-year financial analysis.

Importance of double-entry system

Generally, we mix up debit and credit which makes it difficult to keep track. But this is not the case in the double-entry system. In this, debit and credit are entered separately. This is the reason that even though initially it may seem a task to enter every transaction but these small expenses add up to be a big amount at the end of the month. With the double-entry system, you not only get the accurate amount of transactions but also get to know about your expenses.
