THE ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION

Following are the steps involved in analyzing transactions:

1. From the business document, determine the kind of transaction or exchange made.
2. Analyze the transaction to determine the accounts affected. They can either affect the assets,
liabilities, owner’s equity, revenue, or expenses accounts.
3. Determine the effect of the transaction on the accounts affected. The transaction can either
increase or decrease the accounts.
4. Apply the rules of debit and credit to identify whether the accounts affected should be debited or
credited to show the corresponding increase or decrease.
