Active and passive accounting accounts - differences
Active and passive accounting accounts are types of accounting accounts, determined based on their function and purpose. In our material, the reader will learn about which accounts are called active and which are passive, and will get acquainted with an example of recording transactions on accounts of different types.
Recording transactions on accounts
In accounting, all business transactions are recorded in the form of accounting entries using special created accounts, each of which is assigned a unique number.
Similar transactions are grouped in separate accounts. The name of the account directly indicates the specifics of the transaction reflected on it.
All changes that directly occur with economic assets and their sources lead to their change in monetary terms.
The list of accounts officially approved in the Russian Federation - Chart of Accounts - is suitable for use in any industry.
For example, an accountant of a furniture factory will take into account lumber and furniture fittings on account 10 “Materials”, an accountant of a legal consultation will take into account pens and paper, etc.
In practice, enterprises use only accounts that correspond to the specifics of the type of activity in which they are engaged. The accounts used by the enterprise constitute the Working Chart of Accounts of the enterprise, which in turn is an integral part of the Accounting Policy.
For information on the accounts used in 2021, see the material “Table of Accounting Accounts in 2016”.
The account has a tabular form: the left side is called “debit”, the right side is called “credit”.
To indicate the balance of an account either at the beginning or at the end of a period, the term “balance” exists.
Accounting accounts are either active or passive. The accounts on the sides of the balance sheet are named and correspond to their contents.
The structure of the accounts is similar (both active and passive accounts have sides called “debit” and “credit”), but the meaning of these sides is different - it is important to remember this.

Information about the financial condition of an enterprise in rubles as of a certain date can be obtained through the balance sheet, as well as information about the nature and size of the property.
Information in the balance sheet is grouped into sections, and sections consist of items. Balance is a Latin word and translates to “two cups.” Maintaining equality between assets and liabilities is the main principle of balance.
The sum of all balance sheet asset items (indicators characterizing the organization's economic assets) is equal to the sum of all balance sheet liability items (indicators characterizing the sources of economic assets).

The main form of accounting reporting, which is provided to regulatory authorities and interested users (banks, counterparties), is the balance sheet.
