In short, no. It is a debit entry.The correct entry for "drawings" is as follows, as per the general journal:Dr Drawings $500Cr Cash at bank $500(Owner withdrew $500 cash from business funds)Post this entry to the ledger accounts,Drawings Account:Dr. Cash at bank $500Cash at Bank Account:Cr. Drawings $500Drawings is debited because it is a negative equity (capital and drawings) account, and so has a DR nature. Since your drawings are increasing, you are making your drawings account larger, and so you would debit it. Consequently, taking money out of the business will decrease the cash supply, and so causes the "cash at bank" to be credited $500.Hope this helped :)Happy accounting!!
