What to Focus On

  • An event changes the financial position of a business.
  • A transaction involves value between two or more persons.
  • Cash, credit, barter, and paper transactions are the four main kinds.
  • A voucher is documentary evidence of a transaction.
  • No entry should exist without a voucher.
  • Vouchers are serially numbered and supported by source documents.
  • Capital is the owner's investment in the business.
  • Capital = Assets - External Liabilities.
  • Assets are resources owned or controlled by the business.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Every event is a transaction and every transaction is a business transaction.

Voucher and transaction are the same thing.

Cash vouchers are only payment vouchers, and all receipts are non-cash.
