DATA OF PROJECT
¶Book-Keeping¶Bookkeeping is the recording of financial transactions. Transactions include sales,

Double-Entry System
purchases, income, and payments by an individual or organization. Bookkeeping is usually performed by a bookkeeper. Bookkeeping should not be confused with accounting. The accounting process is usually performed by an accountant. The accountant creates reports from the recorded financial transactions recorded by the bookkeeper and files forms with
(4)
government agencies. There are some common methods of bookkeeping such as the Single-entry bookkeeping system and the Double-entry bookkeeping
system. But while these systems may be seen as "real" bookkeeping, any process that involves the recording of financial transactions is a bookkeeping process.
A bookkeeper (or book-keeper), also known as an accounting clerk or accounting technician, is a person who records the day-to-day financial transactions of an organization. A bookkeeper is usually responsible for writing the "daybooks." The daybooks
(5)
consist of purchase, sales, receipts, and payments. The bookkeeper is responsible for ensuring all transactions are recorded in the correct daybook,
supplier’s ledger, customer ledger and general ledger. The bookkeeper brings the books to the trial balance stage. An accountant may prepare the income statement and balance sheet using the trial balance and ledgers prepared by the bookkeeper.

TYPES OF BOOK-KEEPINGSingle-Entry System
Double-Entry SystemTwo common bookkeeping systems used by businesses and other organizations are the single-entry bookkeeping system and the double-entry bookkeeping system. Single-entry bookkeeping uses only income and expense accounts, recorded primarily in a revenue and expense journal.
Single-entry bookkeeping is adequate for many small businesses. Double-entry bookkeeping requiresposting each transaction twice, using debits and credits.
(7)
Single-entry system The primary bookkeeping record in single-entry bookkeeping is the cash book, which is
similar to a checking (chequing) account register but allocates the income and expenses to various income and expense accounts. Separate account records are maintained for petty cash, accounts payable and receivable, and other relevant transactions such as inventory and travel expenses. These days,
single entry bookkeeping can be done with DIY bookkeeping software to speed up manual calculations.
(8)
Double-Entry System The double-entry bookkeeping system was codified in the 15th century and refers to a set of rules for recording financial
information in a financial accounting system in which every transaction or event changes at least two different accounts. In modern accounting this is done using debits and credits within the accounting equation: Equity = Assets - Liabilities. The accounting equation serves as a kind of error-detection system:
if at any point the sum of debits does not equal the corresponding sum of credits, an error has occurred.
(9)
Since several different types of errors result in equal sums for debits and credits, double-entry accounting is not a guarantee that no errors have been made.
►Debits and credits are then defined as follows:
* Debit: A debit is recorded on the left hand side of a T
account * Credit: A credit balance is
recorded on the right hand side of a 'T' account
* Debit accounts = Asset and Expenses (also debit money received into bank
accounts) * Credit accounts = Gains (income) and Liabilities (also
credit money paid out of bank accounts)
(10)
Accounts
An accounting system records, retains and reproduces financial information relating to financial transaction flows and financial position. Financial Transaction Flows encompass primarily inflows on account of incomes and outflows on account of
expenses. Elements of financial position, including property, money received, or money spent, are assigned to one of the primary groups i.e. assets, liabilities, and equity.Within these primary groups each distinctive asset, liability, income and expense is
(11)
represented by its respective "account". An account is simply a record of financial inflows and outflows in relation to the respective asset, liability, income or expense.

Student’s view about the topic
Book keeping is concerned with recording of day-to-day transactions in a set of books as per framed policy. The accounts prepared at any time from the records thus kept, may show the owner, his true financial position. It is very important part of accounting process. The students get the basic awareness regarding the entries. It is mechanical in nature & thus, doesn’t require special skills. As book-keeping is the basis for accounting, it is a key
for learning the systematic knowledge of accounting.

!!!Conclusion!!!
We already know that bookkeeping is the science and arts of recording in the books of account all those business transactions that result in transfer of money/money’s worth worth. It is a part of accounting and depends largely on correct recording of transactions. Thus book keeping is mainly concerned with:-◊ Identifying the financial transactions and events.◊ Measuring them in terms of money.
(15)
◊Recording the financial transactions & events so identified in the books of accounts.◊Classifying recorded transactions and events, i.e. posting into ledger accounts. Thus, it is concerned with record keeping or maintenance of books of accounting which is often clerical in nature.
