Please put more videos on accruals income and expenses, prepayment income and expenses. How do we treat in the regular organisation transactions. What are the JEs. Treatment in financial statements.
In India we have 3 rules for journal entries 1- Debit what comes in Credit what goes out (For example you buy a new computer for 5000 so computer comes in your business so DR and cash goes out so CR) 2- Debit the receiver Credit the giver (This is mainly used for your bills let’s say you bought goods worth 3000 on credit from John. Now here john is the giver of the goods so he goes CR and purchase of goods comes in your business so DR) 3- Debit the expense Credit the income (For example you have to pay 10000 salary so you made an expense so you DR salary and money goes out of the business so cash/bank will become CR. Another example having two rules in one journal entry would be Let’s say that you received 100 as dividend so here Credit the income dividend would be CR and debit what comes in so cash comes in it would be cash/bank DR) Hope you guys found it helpful

Eg.4 AR is affected by credit sales rather than cash,so relevant accounts should be Revenue and cash/Bank, Credit and debit respectively
You just blew my mind away by explaining the Dealer method in the accounting equation. I now understand how they relate. I have got a lecture on accounting so this was extremely helpful. I about half way through my accounting degree and this helped me understand when I am doing entries how to classify where they go. My professor actually told me about your videos! Thank you!
Thanks you so much. I am truly appreciative of the time you took to do this. I have ptsd from accounting in HS. ❤😊
This is the first genuine explanation from first principles that I've come across on the internet.

I love it. Your channel is excellent. I remember my first accounting class and I remember how I understood everything. 🙂
Super Simple ! Thanks Bill for making it very easy.
I found the equal and opposite force analogy incredibly useful in moving forward in being able to implicitly understand journals and DE accounting when I first started, DEADCLIC just always seemed so clunky!
I’m accounting 2 right now. This is the best channel I have found for studying!
Thank u for explaining the 2methods lots of clarity on the concept 👍
I was waiting on examples. 👏👏 Thank you!!!
Excellent videos! I don't know anything about accounting but I can understand easliy with your explaination!
This video is golden, I'm about to graduate in Accounting and I have my last big exam tomorrow, this is a quick refresher. Thank you!
This is indeed the simplest way to remember how it works! 👍😊
Thank youu, it's really useful video. I enjoy it. We need more videos.

The Accounting Equation, 100%. But thank you for showing both. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video. I learned this a long time ago but I was surprised when the bank used the term credit (to my bank account) whenever I deposited money. I asked my accounting teacher why they were doing it backwards and he took the time to explain to me the differences in the recording especially for third parties. And oh I think the Div in the acrostic (DEALER) needs a qualifier since you're referring to a Dividend expense the reverse would be true for a Dividend Income which is rare but could actually happen.
Your videos are helping me alot … Thank you so much 😊
(Owner's) Equity for me was tricky to grasp. The accounting equation A=L+E is algebraic, meaning you can say: Assets-Liabilities=Equity . A-L=E So now what are the main components of equity? Equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

I'm no accountant, but I run a small business. My current understanding of this: When my company sells a $10,000 project, for reporting it must equal my costs for the project ($3,000) plus my equity ($7,000). $10,000 = $3,000 + $7,000.

They don't teach Dealer at my school, but I've been tutoring for the last 4 terms and it's the first thing I teach anyone in accounting 101. I'll have to practice seeing how I can break down the accounting equation in a more helpful way.

Hi, I need your help to undertstand that in case of any uncollectibles from customer is recorded as Bad debts but in the books of Customer what accounting entry has to be passed for this?
Your videos are amazing. I have subscribed and am considering the 5 hour course! One basic accounting tenet which I cannot get through my dense skull is why $100k cash coming into my business is recorded as a debit. It seems so obvious to me that the extra cash is only a credit. Is it just a term that doesn’t actually mean “debit”?
@TheFinancialController

Welcome aboard! When cash goes up, a bank statement calls it "Credit" because from the bank perspective, they owe this money to us, therefore it's a liability and liabilities are "Credit" nature. We call it "Debit" on our books because it's an asset and assets have "Debit" nature. Hope to see you in the online course Chris!
May be you should explain equation through ..... Business point of View ..... Business owner becomes the Part inside the equation ..... so the accountant becomes ..... a business ..... who keep its own records ..... in interactions with other business and other entities ..... just my thoughts .... I am from Maths background ....
My method is similar to your #2 Assets Expenses AE +Dr Owners equity, Income & Liability OIL +Cr AE vs OIL Dr - Cr

Easiest way is to think of everything in cash. A debit to cash increases it therefore you can arrive at what makes anything else increase or decrease.

I am new to your channel my question is additional budget which was debited under revenue my question there is a negative amount from one of the consultancy budget which was posted under revenue column a little confused is this not a withdrawal account because it was deducted from the allotted budget? I am questioning to where they used the deducted amount the answere was they use it to pay the deficit my question again how come that the negative amount was used to cover up deficit what I said you put but still the same was taken this is the reason am questioning where this deduction was used Please sir kindly forward a detailed explaination for this I need more knowledge in auditing
I have six years commercial experience in accounting side. But i have not audit experience. I work as a accountant in private company and i have ACCA & BSC. Can i join audit firm?
Could there be any situation where Equity is debited? which means it is reduced
is it okay if i say equity is what we own as a business?
13:00 t accounts for explaination
First time heard of dealer. I mostly heard dead! Debit = expenses, assets and dividends! So the rest are on the credit side!
For me the way how I get it practly and easy recognitions about any transaction Is deffinetly method 1
Accounting equation
Dividend is not always Assets it's only when you invest in stock as a Investor
Sorry, but I am asking a stupid question. @12:55 , cash/computer purchase transaction. Cash reduced= can we not take as Expense increased ????? Plz help 😢

The basic rule is... First you consider What is coming into the business.... For example computer purchased for cash 1st try to see what is coming into the business Computer is coming So computer Asset will increase So computer account I'd debit And cash account is created
How would the purchasing of computers affect owner's equity?

Accounting is made hard in purpose for absolutely no reason. There doesn't need to be all these crazy jargon. Debits and credits is useless. It should be simplified with only funds and cost or inflow and outflow The money coming in doesn't really need to be troubled with. Of you are an old company u already have allocated monthly budgets that can be fixed unless a catastrophic emergency happens. So all the inflow doesn't or shouldn't be touched if u are a good company, which can only be done if ur a private company because I won't be on the verge of bankruptcy every quarter . All companies should have a prior year budget for example if in 2022 u made 1billion after taxes . If u already know the operation cost u can say okay this net earnings let's take 50million for budget for the 2023 year. Now any incoming earnings or cash will not be touched and be left for the 2023 tax filing. Any cost or debts can be paid with the 50 million that u already paid tax on in 2022. This is why companies have so much tax troubles and errors happen. This is how I'm going to run my company. No need for all the jargon

Good summary
Some of your references are not what we are being taught as international accounting terms. When you make reference to Dividends, can you explain what the dividend actually is. I understand a dividend as a sum of money that is awarded to a person, it’s also different from a salary and owners own Drawings.
