Account
The basic unit of accounting an Account or General Ledger Account.
It is a unit of information that represents business records.
There are five types of accounts:
Asset
Liability
Equity
Revenue
Expense
A business can have anywhere from a dozen to several thousand accounts, with each one being one of the five types.

AccountingAccounting is the process of recording business activities
that make changes to accounts. These include:• Sales of products• Revenue from services earned• Buying products and/or services• Incurring other expenses• Depreciation of fixed assets• Closing books for the year
When any of these and other business activities are recorded, accounts change in value.
The unit of measure is currency, in most cases, the dollar.
10
Double Entry AccountingFor any business transaction that happens, two or more accounts are
affected. There is a give and take of equal dollar amounts.
This is called Double Entry Accounting.
There are two types of actions done to accounts to bring the values up or down.
The actions are called Debit and Credit. Whether an account grows or shrinks when it is debited or credited depends on the account.
A debit to an asset account makes it bigger but a debit to a liability account makes it smaller. The opposite applies when crediting. Crediting an asset makes it smaller and crediting a liability makes it bigger.
A debit to a revenue account makes it smaller and debit to an expense makes it bigger. A credit to a revenue account makes it bigger and credit to expense makes it smaller.
For equity, it gets bigger when it is credited and smaller when it is debited.
A record entry that has debits and credits is called a Journal Entry.
