The left side of asset accounts is used for recording increases and the right side is used for recording decreases. It is explained that the right side of liability and capital accounts is used to record increases; it naturally follows that he left side of such accounts is used to record decreases. The left side of all accounts, whether asset, liability or capital, is called debit and the right side is called credit.
