Willkommen zu den Grundprinzipien der Buchführung!In der Buchführung arbeiten wir mit einem System aus Soll und Haben.Soll befindet sich immer auf der linken Seite des Kontos.Haben ist stets auf der rechten Seite zu finden.Dieses System funktioniert wie eine Waage - beide Seiten müssen sich am Ende ausgleichen.Jede Buchung wird immer auf beiden Seiten erfasst - dies nennt man den doppelten Buchungssatz.Lassen Sie uns die wichtigsten Prinzipien zusammenfassen.Schauen wir uns ein praktisches Beispiel an: Eine Einzahlung von tausend Euro auf das Bankkonto.Die Buchung erfolgt im Soll des Bankkontos und im Haben des Kassenkontos.Diese Grundprinzipien bilden die Basis für alle weiteren Buchungen.Active accounts, like cash and bank accounts, follow specific booking rules.For active accounts, increases are recorded on the left side, in Soll.Decreases in active accounts are recorded on the right side, in Haben.The initial balance for active accounts is always recorded on the left side.Passive accounts, like liabilities and loans, work in the opposite way.For passive accounts, increases are recorded on the right side, in Haben.Decreases in passive accounts are recorded on the left side, in Soll.The initial balance for passive accounts is always recorded on the right side.Let's review these fundamental booking rules for balance sheet accounts.Expense accounts are always debited, meaning entries are made on the left or Soll side.Revenue accounts, on the other hand, are credited, with entries on the right or Haben side.At the end of each period, we calculate the balance of each account by finding the difference between Soll and Haben.These balances flow into the income statement, where we can see the final result of our business activities.Throughout this process, the fundamental principle that Soll must equal Haben is maintained through proper closing entries.Let's review the key points about income accounts and closing entries.This completes our overview of accounting principles and the closing process.
