Hi Everyone!

I have my exam coming up in June and I really starting to panic about journals and suspense accounts. I understand why they are used but is there an easy way to know when to debit or credit each account? I've tried the whole debit gain and credit loss thing but it's making me more confused! :001_unsure:
I would really appreciate any advice or tips.

Thanks!

    Debit:
    An increase in an asset (Increase in cash)
    Decrease in liability (reduction of overdraft)
    Decrease in income (sales return)

    Credit
    An increase in income (sales)
    An increase in a liability (Overdraft)
    Decrease in asset (Decrease cash)

    The use of journals is v important and popular in exams. It is crucial that you understand each and every transaction in order to maintain accurate accounts.
