Purpose
General Ledger Accounts record the transactions that define value of the business. Every transaction in the business is recorded against an Account, either as a Debit or Credit. In double entry book keeping a particular operation within a business will generate transactions that add up to zero, i.e. Sum Debits - Sum Credits = 0. For example is you buy an asset for 10 000 PLN you will have a debit of 10 000 PLN on your bank account and a credit of 10 000 PLN on your asset account.
