Document Summary

Every positive item in the tabular summary represents a receipt of cash. Every negative amount represents a payment of cash. The account balance, a debit of ,050, indicates that softbyte had ,050 more increases than decreases in cash. In other words, softbyte started with a balance of zero and now has ,050 in its cash account. The equality of debits and credits provides the basis for the double-entry system of recording transactions. International note: rules for accounting for specific events sometimes differ across countries. European companies rely less on historical cost and more on fair value than u. s. companies. Despite the differences, the double-entry accounting system is the basis of accounting systems worldwide: under the double-entry system, the dual (two-sided) effect of each transaction is recorded in appropriate accounts. This system provides a logical method for recording transactions.
