Best Answer

An account is a mean of accumulating in one place all the information about changes in specific financial statement items, such as a particular asset or liability. for example the cash account provides a compan's current cash balance, a record of its cash reciepts, and a record of its cash disbursements. in its simplest form an account has only three elements.

1. a title

2. a left side which is called the debth side

3. a right side, which is called the credit side.

this form of an account illustrated below and on the following page, is called a T account because of its resemblance to the letter "T" in a computerized system, of course ,the elements of each account are stored and formatted electronically. more complete form of accounts will be illustrated later.
