What does the term ACCOUNT mean?

Firstly an ACCOUNT is an idea and not a thing. It is:

  1. An idea - a line on a chart
  2. A balance that represents the debt between two companies

There is a real thing called statement of account, of which there are two kinds - Statement of outstanding items and Statement of movements.

Two important aspects:

  1. Account HAS a statement
  2. Account IS a balance


How many types of ACCOUNTS can be there?

Two types:

  1. Open Item Account - which is a balance at a point of time for which you can obtain a Statement of movements or Statement of outstanding items. Open Item Account has everything the Balance Forward Account has.
  2. Balance Forward Account - which is a balance at a point of time for which you can obtain a Statement of movements.


What is there is a Statement of movements?
