Accounting Basics Lesson 6. In this episode of Accounting Basics for Beginners, we answer the question - why do Debits and Credits on the Bank Statement seem backwards? Debits and Credits are confusing enough without throwing in the complication that they appear backwards in Accounting. When you Google "debits and credits the wrong way round banking", you'll see that there are 39 MILLION results. That's insane!
This episode of Accounting Stuff - Accounting Basics Lesson 6 - is a continuation of our series on Basic Accounting for Beginners and we aim to finally put this issue to bed. In this short video, you will learn:
▪ What phrases such as 'debited to your account' mean.
▪ Why are Debits and Credits backwards in Accounting.
▪ Why Credits and Debits AREN'T backwards.

For anyone still in confusion, I hope this reminder helps!! Remember in James second vid he mentioned credits and debits aren't thought of as adding or subtracting but as a source and destination so your asset, the reason it is going up through debit is that your account is the destination so when money is put in it, it goes up while with credit is the source so you may use your assets being cash for example as a source to send it to another account being the other destination. BOOOM WHAAAATT!!! - Had to play this and past videos multiple times to understand this, hope it makes sense! :) If its not entirely right you could just think of this being the asset side of the question XD

@e-man2081
@e-man2081 9 месяцев назад
2:02 Concerning your banking example: I understand the bank POV, but not the customer POV. Why would debits increase the value of the customer account? Are the banks using incorrect terminology with the common people? Because banks refer to the addition of money to the customer account as "credits".

Ok, so this is helping me on my way to understand, thank you. But at 2.00mins you said from our (Customer's perspective) debits increase assets. Hmm .... How is that when you also say that our account is an asset but to the bank a liability? (if our account to us is an asset, then surely if the balance decreases (debit) how can it increase assets??? (Just started on an accounting course, well my son, and this got me stuck straight away! How confusing! Of course everyone is likely to think of their own bank statement and debits and credits in our accounts. Wish the books explained it, but at least you have - THANK YOU!!!!! otherwise I'd have got NO further! p.s. I think you are the only one who HAS explained it ??👍) Definitely gave you a thumbs up and sub'd

I really like this outdoors filming location. It's very pretty, but it also mitigates some unpleasant sounds picked up on the mic in most of the previous videos in the playlist, as well as making the color palette a lot more lively rather than having the very bright lights in the eyes. I also like the editing showing physical locations, those are quite nice, like the ScotiaBank shot and a few other shots in the outdoors series so far.

Hey James thanks for your videos and clarification. Have never entered an industry that is such confusing for a beginner. May I ask you to clear up one question I have. For instance in option trading when paying a premium this is called a debit transaction as I have to pay it out like a sunk cost. Does this banking point of view also apply here like a Brokerage Account point of view or rather its a debit for the counterparty like option writer. I have a big problem as I see always my account cash as an asset and need to think the other way around. Keep up your awesome work. Best from Barcelona

@barryhohulin5634 24 дня назад
I find your videos very helpful. Thank you, James. Question: In your accounting basic video on Debits and Credits you stated, "Debits represent the flow of economic benefit to a destination and Credits represent the flow of economic benefit from a source." I am trying to make sense with those statements in this video. In regards to Debiting my bank account, I am putting money into my account bank. Is the destination my bank account? In other words, is my account (the destination of this money) the recipient of the economic benefit? If this is the case, then how does this work with the concept of "credits represent the flow of economic benefit from a source"? Does this concept of destination and source even play into this scenario of the POV with account holders and banks? If it does, who (or what) is the source of this economic benefit when the bank owes us our money?

@@AccountingStuff Thank you ever so much for answer my question. Yes, I now think I understand it. This link - your video on DEALER: the Number 1 Hack for Debit and Credits answered my question. The key for me was that I needed to hear that Liabilities, Equity and Revenue are normal credit accounts (and therefore, the source of economic benefits, like cash in your example) and Dividends, Expenses and Assets are represent normal debit accounts, and thus are the destination of where one's cash can go. Brilliant. Thanks ever so much.

James, I have a question re the customer POV of their bank account. So if I debit (draw money out of) my bank account, how does this increase my asset? Surely if I debit my bank account and therefore reduce its monetary value, it's not worth as much. Shouldn't this decrease my asset, as I now have less of it? Or is it purely because of the DEALER rule, meaning debits increase it? I'm just trying to understand the logic behind it, I need it to make sense in my brain!

Yep, one can depend on banks to muddy waters and confuse their customers! Customers are not asking banks for statements of banks' financial position, in which case one could understand why checking account is credit from banks perspective! The customer gets a monthly statement and wants to know their own account balance - the bank should debit the account for any money put in, and credit the account for money taken out - using the customer's perspective. The bank can use it's perspective when it reports to its shareholders!

So, the account holder is only seeing their side of the banks transaction? Which is, the bank crediting a liability account. Am I understanding correctly?
