    Credit & Debits
    Is there an easy way of remembering which entries are Credits & which are Debits when using computer programs? I can never remember which way round they are.

    Debits And Credits.
    You have indicated that you are having trouble as to which is which.

    Follow these rules and you can never go wrong
    again.

    1) All Assets and All Expenditures are DEBITS.

    2) All Liabilities and All Incomes are CREDITS.

    Summary:-

    A+E = L+I

    All the very best,
