Why may a control account carries both debit and credit balances?

A control account summarizes a set of subsidiary accounts. For example, Accounts receivable may have a control account, representing total Accounts receivable, and also may have a set of subsidiary accounts, representing the amount of Accounts receivable owed by each customer/debtor. The total of all subsidiary accounts must equal the balance of the control account. Control accounts will have debit or credit balances depending on the nature of those accounts. Control accounts for assets, such as Accounts receivable or Fixed assets, will have native debit balances. Control accounts for liabilities, such as Accounts payable, will have native credit balances.
