All the accounting entries in the books accounts were pass as per ,Accounting golden rules in double entry accounting system for each transactions and events so you have apply following rules . (Accounting basics )

1) Debit the receiver and Credit the giver .

2) Debit what comes in and credit what goes out .

3) Debit the expenses and losses and credit the gains & Income .

This is best way to practice , apply above rules whenever you are passing Accounting / journal entries .

There are many categories of items that move in and out of a business

Type of account Increase Decrease

There are items of assets ( cash )                    Debit                                            Credit
There are items of expense ( purchase )           Debit                                            Credit

Debits and Credits

The term debit indicates the left side of an account, and credit indicates the right side. They are commonly abbreviated as Dr. for debit and Cr. for credit. They do not mean increase or decrease, as is commonly thought. We use the terms debit and credit repeatedly in the recording process to describe where entries are made in accounts. For example, the act of entering an amount on the left side of an account is called debiting the account. Making an entry on the right side is crediting the account

Adjustment entries ,

Adjustments on Accrual basis and closing in Accounting period

At the end of the year after preparing trial balance a list of unrecorded items is prepared which is called list of adjustment for which adjustment entries are passed. Now closing entries will be passed. The purpose of closing entries is to close all those accounts which comes in trading and profit & Loss and these accounts are mainly related to expenses , incomes and goods.

Common Adjustment entries ,

Outstanding expenses

Received in advamce

Prepaid expense

Unearned income

Accrued income

Accrued expense

The subject of accounting is based on one guiding principle; everything else consists of details, some of which are technical, and some of which are procedural. The guiding principle is simple:

All data concerning a company’s activity is assigned to one of the following five categories: 1.Expenditures , 2. Income , 3.Assets, 4.Liabilities, 5.Capital . The first two categories (1 and 2) are the backbone of a report called a profit and loss statement. The next two categories (3 and 4) are the backbone of a report called the balance sheet.

The fifth category (5) is the backbone of a report called the cash flow statement. When details are given below, it will be seen that each of these categories is a collection of smaller categories

Cash Flow

Cash flow is recorded on a company's cash flow statement. This statement—one of the main statements for a company—shows the inflow and outflow of actual cash (or cash-like assets) from its operational activities. It is a required report under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Fund Flow

On the accounting side, the fund flow statement was required by GAAP between 1971 and 1987.3 When it was required, the statement of fund flow was primarily used by accountants to report any change in a company's net working capital, or the difference between assets and liabilities, during a set period of time. Much of this information is now captured in the statement of cash flow.
