Journal-order form of accounting
The form of accounting in which all data on business transactions is taken into account and systematized in journals for recording business transactions is called journal-order.
The basic principles are:
- Entries are made exclusively on credit accounts, indicating correspondence on debit.
- Synthetic and analytical accounting records are combined in a single accounting system.
- Data is reflected in accounting documents in the context of indicators necessary for control and reporting.
- You can apply combined journals to related accounts.
- You can create them monthly.
It is not necessary to use this form of accounting. An organization can keep records using a memorial order form, which is based on drawing up memorial orders for each business transaction. This type has a number of disadvantages: a significant lag between analytical accounting and synthetic accounting, as well as increased labor intensity: you have to duplicate records several times.
Features of reflecting accounting entries
Each production action must be documented. Changes arising from the operation are of a dual nature and occur in two interrelated accounting objects. A characteristic feature of the operation is that it is shown on the accounts twice: in debit and credit. This relationship represents the correspondence of accounts.
Transactions are reflected on accounts at the time of their occurrence, i.e., as they are completed. Double entry reveals the opposite nature of the asset and liability accounts, linking them to the form of the balance sheet.
On the left they reflect the balances of the property (debit), on the right - the sources of its appearance (credit).
Correspondent accounts and balance form a single system, connected by double entry, which is based on three principles:
- Duality of reflection;
- Fixation of amounts for Dt and Ct accounts;
- In both accounts, changes are shown in the same amount.
For control, the registration of the action in accounting is repeated twice. First of all, it is reflected as a fait accompli confirmed by documents, then - by the distribution of amounts among correspondent accounts.
Example 2. Posting
Reasoning:
The changes affected two accounts: account. 10 — balances of inventory items and invoices increased. 60 - the debt to the supplier has increased.
Account 10 - active, takes into account assets, growth is put in Dt;
Account 60 - passive, height - according to Kt.
The increase in assets and liabilities corresponds to operations of the third type. The posting is written as follows: Dt 10 Kt 60.
Magazine forms
For public sector employees, the Ministry of Finance developed and recommended unified forms (Orders No. 123n dated September 23, 2005 and No. 25N dated February 10, 2006). But it is not necessary to use them (No. 402-FZ dated December 6, 2011). The organization has the right to independently develop and approve forms for accounting journals. But for this they should be approved by a separate order of the manager or in the form of an appendix to the accounting policy.

Types of accounting transactions
Depending on the interaction of assets and sources, there are 4 types of operations.
- Active - affect the composition of funds, i.e., the balance sheet asset, without affecting the results. These include actions to use inventory items, liquidate accounts receivable, receive money from a bank account to the cash desk, issue money on account, etc.
The first type of change is reflected by the formula:
A + ΔI – ΔI = P, where
A - balance sheet asset;
P - passive;
ΔИ - change in property due to economic action.
- Passive operations affect the sources of formation of assets, i.e., the liability side of the balance sheet. The result is constant. Such operations include: deductions from earnings, the formation of reserves or the accrual of dividends from profits for distribution, replenishment of the authorized capital from additional funds, etc.
This type of operation can be reflected as follows:
A = P + ΔI – ΔI.
- Active-passive increasing - increase the asset, liability and currency by an identical amount. These include: repayment of debt on deposits in the authorized capital, accrual of depreciation of fixed assets, advances from buyers, receipt of borrowed funds, etc.
This type of operation looks like this:
A + ΔI = P + ΔI.
- Active-passive decreasing - reduce the asset, liability and balance sheet total by the same amount. This is the payment of earnings, payment of debts to creditors.
A – ΔI = P – ΔI.
Example 1. Type 4 operation
Based on bills and bank statements, 214 thousand rubles were transferred to the supplier. for the materials received. The result of the operation will be a change in two items: the asset account will decrease. 51 by 214 thousand rubles, in liabilities the account will decrease. 62 for 214 thousand rubles. The asset and liability totals changed by an equal amount. The balance identity is preserved.
Consideration of four types of business transactions led to the following conclusions:
- Each fact of activity is reflected in at least two balance sheet items;
- Changes to the asset (types 1, 2) do not change the currency of the document;
- Changes in assets and liabilities (types 3, 4) change the currency by the same amount;
- Any operations maintain equality of balance sheet totals.

Features of the formation of accounting registers
