USING A TRANSACTION ANALYSIS CHART TO UNDERSTAND TRANSACTIONS Understanding transactions is fundamental to accounting. A transaction analysis chart is a tool to help you understand transactions. It is not a formal accounting record - just a tool. It will assist you to apply the debit and credit rules of accounting. This is what a (blank) transaction analysis chart looks like: Date Account Category Increase Amount Debit or Credit (PEARL) or Decrease $ DR $ CR $ We will use a chart like this with some practical exercises soon but first let's recap some very important accounting concepts An account is a detailed record for every item of value associated with a business. There are five categories of accounts. These are: Proprietorship (also known as Capital or Owner's Equity), Expenses, Assets, Revenue, Liabilities. A simple way to remember the categories of account is the acronym PEARL. Accounts are located in an orderly and logical manner according to their category and can be found summarised (or indexed) in a Chart of Accounts. Every business will have a Chart of Accounts which suits its needs. That means that no two businesses will have exactly the same Chart of Accounts. However, every Chart of Accounts will be similar in that it will have the five categories of accounts. Also, many accounts are commonly used eg Cash at Bank, wages & salaries, loan accounts, capital, sales and so on. The most basic accounting equation is Assets = Equities (ie internal and external liabilities). However, it is more practical to express the equation as: Assets = Liabilities + Proprietorship. A simple way to remember this is A = L + P. The Balance Sheet report of a business reflects this equation. If A = L + P then the following must also be true L = A- P and P = A - L HIT Newcastle V2.2008 2 GJ and GL Exercises
The expanded accounting is Assets + Expenses = Proprietorship + Liabilities + Revenue. The Profit & Loss report of a business reflects the revenue and expenses part of this equation. The debit and credit rules of accounting are based on the above accounting equation. The following table may help you to remember the rules: Remember the following rules: Type of change Type of Account Type of entry an increase in an asset or expense ledger account is recorded as a debit entry whereas a decrease in an asset or expense ledger account is recorded as a credit entry an increase in a liability or proprietorship or revenue ledger account is recorded as a credit entry whereas a decrease in a liability or proprietorship or revenue ledger account is recorded as a debit entry THE OPENING ENTRY The Opening Entry lists balances for all Assets, Liabilities and Capital at the commencement of the business. The transaction is recorded in the General Journal and then posted to the General Ledger. All General Journal transactions are accompanied by a narration, which describes the transaction.

For example, our creditor, Riley Mills has advised us they will charge 2% pa on our unpaid account. We adjust the ledger accounts by creating a general journal entry. Calculation: We owe $20,000 from August. 20,000 X 2% 12 = $33.33 + 10% GST = $36.66 General Ledger Accounts (a double entry): Account Service Fee is an expense (increase) and therefore a DEBIT. Accounts Payable is a liability (increase) and therefore a CREDIT.

For example: Our customer, W Ross, has an overdue account and we are charging interest @5%pa. We adjust the ledger accounts by creating a general journal entry. Calculation: W Ross owes $10,000 from August. 10,000 X 5% 12 = $41.67 + 10% GST = $45.83 General Ledger Accounts (a double entry): Accounts Receivable is an asset (increase) and therefore a DEBIT.

In this case we would write the account off as a bad debt. For example: J Sparks owes us $1100.00. Calculation of GST: Total amount owed includes GST. GST = 1100 11 GST = 100 General Ledger Accounts (a double entry): Bad Debts Account is an expense (increase) and therefore a DEBIT. GST Collected must be reversed and is therefore a DEBIT.
