What is the purpose of double entry bookkeeping?

Double-entry accounting is a robust and fundamental system of bookkeeping that mandates every financial transaction to be meticulously recorded in a minimum of two distinct accounts. This method serves as a built-in safeguard, promoting accuracy and deterring fraudulent activities in financial records. By requiring both a debit and a credit entry for each transaction, it establishes an equilibrium that enables businesses to maintain an accurate and comprehensive overview of their financial health. The double-entry system not only bolsters transparency but also provides a valuable framework for assessing the financial impact of each transaction and ensuring the integrity of financial statements.
