DOUBLE ENTRY
BOOK-KEEPING SYSTEM
🡪Presented by Prachi Mane
❖MEANING OF DOUBLE ENTRY SYSTEM
• Double Entry System of Book Keeping denotes that every business transaction has two fold effect.
• According to J.R. Batliboi, “Every business transaction has a two-fold effect and that it affects
two accounts in opposite directions and if a complete record was to be made of each such
transaction , it would be necessary to debit one account and credit another account.” It is this
recoding of the two fold effect of every transaction that has given rise to the term “Double Entry
System”.
• “The Double entry system seeks to record every transaction in money or money’s worth in its double
aspect- the receipt of benefit by one account and the surrender of a like benefit by another account
the former entry being to the debit of the account receiving and the latter to the credit of the account
surrendering.”- William Pickles
