Accounting is the science of recording financial transactions and preparing accounting reports.

you have first have a document for any commercial transaction, you use this document to enter the transaction into journal where you use what is called double entry ( every transaction have an effect on two accounts at least).

then, you post the values from journal to ledger where you have what is called "T" account to every account.after posting transactions to ledger you have to calculate balance which you will record it in the "Trial Balance" which is a summary to all accounts.the trial balance have three columns, the accounts names,debit and credit

you have to sum debit column and credit column and they have to be equal.

then you can make final statements like Income statement and Balance sheet

the Balance sheet is the last stage in preparing financial statements.
