Double-entry bookkeeping: History, Approaches & Books of accounts

Double-entry bookkeeping, also known as double-entry accounting, is a method of bookkeeping in which every financial transaction is recorded with equal and opposite entries (debits and credits) - thus "balancing the books". The purpose of double-entry bookkeeping is to maintain accuracy in financial records and allow detection of errors or fraud.
