It consists of a list of ledger account names and numbers showing classifications and sub-classifications, and serves as an index to locate a given account within the ledger. See also class of accounts.
chart of accounts is in the Accounting & Auditing and Banking, Commerce & Finance subjects.
chart of accounts appears in the definition of the following term: class of accounts
(2) Journal entries Recording
Accounting requires very specific methods of recording transactions. Generally, transactions are recorded through the use of accounts. These accounts are actually places within accounting systems in which changes in assets, liabilities, owner's equity, revenues, and expenses are recorded. The changes reflect increases or decreases in these accounts over a given time period.
In its simplest form, an account looks very much like the letter "T", hence the name "T-Account"
Every transaction affects, and is recorded in, two accounts. Consider the following:
Bill invests $1,000 in his company.
First, we debit Cash to show an increase of an asset, and we credit owner's equity to show the increase of capital.
(3) Summery of journal Entries by Date
recording transactions is a long process. Even after the information has been recorded, further steps must be taken in order to complete the accounting cycle. These include the adjusted trial balance, the income statement, the statement of changes in owner’s equity, and the balance sheet (all of which are explained in the Financial Statements section). Probably the best way to illustrate the idea of recording transactions and preparing financial statements is to work through an example. Example A was created with that purpose in mind.
(4) Ledger Accounts Building
A book of final entry summarizing all of a company's financial transactions, through offsetting debit and credit accounts.
(5) Trial Balance Generation
A statement of all the open debit and credit items in a double-entry ledger, made to test their equality
(6) Profit / Lose Statement
An official quarterly or annual financial document published by a public company, showing earnings, expenses, and net profit. Net income is determined from this financial report by subtracting total expenses from total revenue. The profit and loss statement and the balance sheet are the two major financial reports that every public company publishes. The difference between this statement and the balance sheet deals with the periods of time that each one represents. The profit and loss statement shows transactions over a given period of time (usually quarterly or annually), whereas the balance sheet gives a snapshot holdings on a specific date. also called income statement or earnings report.
(7) Balance Sheet Building
An itemized statement that lists the total assets and total liabilities of a given business to portray its net worth at a given moment in time

Learn Programming from an Expert in Banking and Government Systems, 24 Years of Experience at Your Fingertips!
Hello! I’m Osama Hassan , a programmer, systems architect, and IT consultant with over 20 years of experience building essential software solutions for banks, government entities, and large organizations. I’m also the creator of a theory for measuring CMMI level in software delivery, which was published in May 2024 in the Journal of Software Engineering and Applications. This framework helps organizations assess and improve their software delivery processes, and it’s something I’m excited to share with students interested in software quality and maturity.
After years of extensive experience in information technology, tackling complex challenges in banking and business programming, I realized it was time to pass on my knowledge to the next generation of eager learners. That’s why I decided to embark on a journey of teaching and organizing courses to share my expertise, while also documenting my experiences along the way.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading end-to-end development on a wide range of complex projects. These include an Applicant Tracking System for Cairo Trading Center, an Online Payment System for the Ministry of Kuwait Municipality, and critical banking tools like a Signature Verification System and Money Laundering Control System for MID Bank, Egypt. I’ve also worked on public sector projects, from a Government Bidding and Tender Management System and Spring Camping License System for Kuwait to a variety of E-commerce Systems and an Evaluation Matrix System for the Ministry of Kuwait Municipality. These experiences have given me hands-on expertise that I’m eager to bring to the classroom.
As a Certified System Analyst by both the NCC in the United Kingdom and Fujitsu, I bring practical expertise and a strong foundation in industry best practices to my teaching. I’m fluent in English, German, and Arabic, so I can easily explain complex concepts in a way that fits each student’s background and needs. In my classes, you’ll learn not only the technical skills required for programming but also the deeper software development principles I’ve applied over two decades in the field.
My goal is to transfer years of real-world experience to you in just a few days. By working on hands-on projects and learning from real-world case studies, you’ll gain skills and insights that typically take years to develop. I look forward to helping you fast-track your learning journey and develop the confidence to tackle even the most challenging software environments.
