C4 LEDGER AND CHART OF
ACCOUNTS
The ledger is a collection of all accounts for an
information system. A company’s size and diversity
of operations affect the number of accounts needed.

The chart of accounts is a list of all accounts and includes an


identifying number for each account.
Account Number Account Name Accounting Number Accounting Name

DEBITS AND CREDITS


A T-account represents a ledger account and is a
tool used to understand the effects of one or more
transactions.

Debit Credit

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 19
Rules for using accounts
Accounts are assigned balance sides (Debit or Credit).
To increase any account, use the balance side.
To decrease any account, use the side opposite the
balance.

Finding account balances


If total debits = total credits, the account balance is zero.
If total debits are greater than total credits, the account has
a debit balance equal to the difference of the two totals.
If total credits are greater than total debits, the account has
a credit balance equal to the difference of the two totals.

Example 2: Transposition errors
An $89 payment for telephone bill was journalized as a debit to
telephone expense by $98 and credit to cash by $98.

Analysis:
This is a transposition error; the digits are reversed in the
amount. The difference between $98 and $89 is 9 (divided by 9)
This error can be corrected as if debit to cash by $9 and credit
to telephone expense by $9.

PRESENTATION ISSUES
1. Dollar signs are not used in journals and ledgers.
2. Dollar signs appear in financial statements and other
reports such as trial balances. The usual practice is to
put dollar signs beside only the first and last numbers
in a column.
3. When amount are entered in the journal, ledger, or trial
