TOPIC 1: INTRODUCTION OF BOOK-KEEPING & ACCOUNTING
What is Transaction?
In business activity a lot of “give & take” exist which is known as transaction.
Transaction involves transfer of money or money’s worth. Thus exchange of money,
goods & services between the parties is known to have resulted in a transaction.
For Example,
Buying & Selling of Goods & Services, Expenses, Incomes & Many More

What is Book-Keeping?
It is necessary to record all these transactions very systematically & scientifically so
that the financial relationship of a business with other persons may be properly
understood, profit & loss and financial position of the business may be worked out at
a particular date. The procedure to record all these transactions is known as “Book -
keeping”.

What is Accounting?
Accounting is the analysis & interpretation of book keeping records. It includes not
only the maintenance of accounting records but also the preparation of financial &
economic information which involves the measurement of transactions & other events
relating to entry.
The Accounting Process Includes Summarizing, Analyzing & Reporting These
Transactions To Oversight Agencies, Regulators, And Tax Collection Entities.

Recording Process:

Transaction Financial
Journal Ledger Trail Balance
Documentation Statements

Source Documents are the original records of any transaction.

1) Journal Is Detailed Account That Records All The Financial Transactions.


2) The Ledger Summarizes The Journal Entries Into Accounts
3) In Trial Balance, Balance Of All Ledgers Are Compiled
4) Financial Statements Includes “Final Accounts”
• Trading Account (Trading Account Shows The Result Of Buying And
Selling Of Goods)
• Profit & Loss Account (Determines The Profit / Loss)
• Balance Sheet (Determines Financial Stability Of Business)

2|P a g e
Double Entry System:
Let’s Assume, A Car Dealer is selling a Car worth ₹ ….. & Customer pays the whole
amount to Car Dealer
Car Dealer’s Books Customer’s Books
Car Stock - Decrease Car - Increase
Cash/Bank - Increase Cash/Bank - Decrease

Thus, Every Transaction consists of minimum “Two Effects”


Those “Two Effects” are considered as “Debit & Credit”

As per the Double Entry System , “Every Debit effect must have an equal &
Opposite Credit effect”

Business Transactions:
▪ These business transactions when settled immediately by giving cash then
that transaction is called as “cash transaction”.
▪ Similarly, if the business transaction is settled later by taking credit period
from party then those transaction is called “credit transaction”.

Accrual Concept
The accrual principle is an accounting concept that requires accounting transactions to be recorded
in the time period in which they occur, regardless of the time period when the actual cash flows for
the transaction.
