Thanks! You can also remember DEALER (might be easier). D = Dividends, E = Expenses, A = Assets (all three are Debit Accounts...think dividends, debit for this grouping)...then L= Liabilities, E = Owners Equity, R = Revenue (these three are Credit Accounts)

Wonderful! That's really great!

[@WM44444]

make sure your reading your book if your in school. im new to accounting but my teacher said debits are left and credits are right. he said that is for his course. he said there are other types of accounting and transactions that have the credits on the left and debits on the right. he said ignore that for now. my point is make sure this applies to your specific course.

[@christoslefkimiotis9889]

being a dyslectic when I found out the "left-right" trick for debit/credit, I ended up getting a masters degree in accounting. Knowledge is useless unless is shared and explained properly so anyone can enjoy regardless of the status he is in; and you have a gift in explaining with simple words and right to the point, excellent job..

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you very much for the kind words Christos!

[@maxmara2010]

After searching for countless similar topics on KZbin, it is the most straightforward and logical explanation for debit and credit in accounting. Professional, no drama expression like some KZbin production, understandable speech speed and intonation.

I'm glad you addressed the example of debit accounts with your bank at the end! This helped clear up the confusion, understanding that it is from the perspective of the bank.

[@karhukivi]

Once again, thank you Leila for doing this great presentation - even my accountant brother-in-law gets confused over debit and credit, especially where the bank is involved as they see these terms from their side of the fence! Accountancy is not a matter of maths, rather classification and how to decide where to put each item, e.g. a partial refund of a charge that had tax on it, now where to put that tax component!!! However, it is a great discipline and everybody should learn at least a little about it.

[@LeilaGharani]

Absolutely agree George.

[@amandaheuer8833]

Your a fabulous teacher!! I went to go see if you had more videos, so, I was SUPER excited to see that you have so many!! 🤣 Bless your heart... pages and pages!! Yay! I am so greatful.

[@chickpeallc3289]

wow! thank you, thank you, thank you. No one has been able to explain this like you do. Thank you for your simplicity. Teachers and book publishers think if they make accounting very complicated, that you will have more respect for them. And pay more money. You actually care if people understand these difficult to grasp principles. That is the essence of a good teacher.

[@carso8100]

In their origin (14th century Accounting) Debit and Credit were actually longer phrases (in Latin) that meant Must Give and Must Have and were written at top of the pages, not in columns. Unfortunately, the less appropriate words of these phrases remained and they generate confusion. For practical purposes, they only mean Left and Right. Debit= Left and Credit=Right.

Hello Leila. Exceptional Video. Just need to have a clear picture about credit card like you have wonderfully explained debit cards? Like in debit cards, it is from banks point of view.

On minute 7:00 of the slide the arrow next to cash should show an increase in cash (debit) not a decrease. Since if there is an increase in cash debt there will be a reduction in credit.

[@LeilaGharani]

The arrow represents the direction of the cash balance. We asked what we need to do when we take money out of the account to pay for something. Meaning cash is reduced. Therefore, the arrow shows a decrease of the balance and we credit the account.
