They are basic (trust me), and they may clarify any confusion you had in the past, when you talk with your CPA or other types of technical accounting. They are the foundation of any accounting system. Understand how debits and credits work and you'll understand the whole system. Each entry in the ledger contains both debit and credit. In addition, all debits must equal all credits. If they do not, the record of balance. This is not good. Out-Of-balance entries throw your balance out of equilibrium.

Thus, the accounting system should have a mechanism to ensure that all elements of the balance. Indeed, most automated accounting systems do not allow you to enter the initial balance out they'll only the signal to you until you correct his mistake.

Depending on the type of account you're dealing with, debit or credit or increase or decrease the balance on the account.
