Double-entry accounting is a robust method of recording financial transactions in accounting journals. According to this system, each transaction has two sides (debit and credit) which balance out.

This process ensures that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) always holds true. But determining which accounts to debit and credit is initially a challenge. And that’s where the double-entry bookkeeping cheat sheet comes in handy.
