Remember our coffee shop? Last chapter, you watched five dollars split itself between the barista, the farmer, the landlord, and the bank. Now imagine the bank calls you and says... prove it. Show me exactly where every dollar came from, and exactly where every dollar went. You open your notebook and it says: money came in, money went out. That... is not going to work. That's not bookkeeping, that's a fortune cookie. Today you learn the tool accountants have used for
0:27
over five hundred years to answer that question perfectly, every single time. It has a funny name, it looks like the letter T... and by the end of this video, you'll be using it like a pro. And listen carefully: this chapter, together with chapter one, is the most important chapter in ALL of accounting. Everything else in this course... adjustments, statements, closing the books... is built on these two. Master them, and you are all set. First word of the day: an account. An account
0:56
is an individual accounting record of the increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability, or owner's equity item. Baby version: an account is a separate page in the business's diary, one page for cash, one page for equipment, one page for revenue. Anything that goes up or down gets its own page. Here is what one of those pages looks like. It's called a T-account, because... it looks like the letter T. Every T-account has exactly three parts. One:
1:27
the title, the account's name, like Cash or Service Revenue, written on top. Two: the left side, called the debit side. Three: the right side, called the credit side. That's the whole anatomy. Title on top, debit on the left, credit on the right. Now, forget everything scary you've heard about the words debit and credit. In accounting they mean one thing each. Debit means left. Credit means right. That's it. Entering an amount on the left side is called
1:58
debiting the account. Entering an amount on the right side is called crediting the account. They are written D-R and C-R for short. No good, no bad, no gain, no loss... just left and right. Now look at the left side of this slide... does it feel familiar? It should! That's the TABULAR SUMMARY... the exact tool YOU already used in chapter one. A simple column of pluses and minuses: plus twenty thousand... minus five thousand... plus three thousand... minus
2:29
one thousand... plus two thousand. Add the column: nineteen thousand. That was your training wheels... and you rode them like a champ. Now look at the right side. That's the ACCOUNT FORM... the T-account... and THIS is the new tool... the professional way to RECORD TRANSACTIONS... the heart of the recording process we're learning in this chapter. Here's the beautiful part: it tells the EXACT same story. Every PLUS from your chapter-one column simply moves to the left... the debit side.
3:04
Every MINUS moves to the right... the credit side. Total debits: twenty five thousand. Total credits: six thousand. And the difference between the two sides is called the balance of the account... nineteen thousand, sitting on the DEBIT side, because debits won. Baby version: same toy, new box. Chapter one gave you the plus-minus column... chapter two folds that column into a T. Old way on the left... new way on the right... same truth in the middle.
3:36
Now flip it! Meet Notes Payable, the bank-loan account. In chapter one language: we borrow, plus twenty thousand... repay, minus five thousand... borrow again, plus three thousand... repay, minus one thousand... borrow, plus two thousand. The column says we owe nineteen thousand. But here's the twist that makes accounting finally click: this is a LIABILITY... so when we rewrite it as a T-account, the signs FLIP. Every PLUS now lives on the RIGHT... the credit side. Every MINUS moves to the
4:11
LEFT... the debit side. Total credits, twenty five thousand. Total debits, six thousand. The balance? Nineteen thousand again... but THIS time it sits on the CREDIT side, because this time, credits won. Now listen carefully, because this matters more than anything else in this chapter: master this little T. Own it. Every account in accounting... cash, loans, revenue, all of them... is just one of these T's filling up on both sides. And very soon we'll stack ALL the T-accounts into
4:46
one big book with a fancy name... the LEDGER... and filling them in will get its own fancy name... POSTING. Same T. Same left and right. If you own the T today, the scary words later are already yours. Pop quiz... thirty seconds, don't skip it! Question one: an account shows seven thousand and two thousand on the debit side... and three thousand on the credit side. What's the balance... and which side is it sitting on? Question two: debits of four thousand... credits
5:18
of twenty five hundred and thirty five hundred. Balance? Which side? Pause the video and work them out... Ready? Question one: total debits nine thousand, total credits three thousand... the balance is six thousand, and it sits on the DEBIT side... debits won. Question two: debits four thousand, credits six thousand... balance, two thousand... on the CREDIT side. If you got both right, congratulations... you already think in T-accounts. Now let's meet the rules: WHO grows on which side?
5:52
First, the left side. Three account types are increased by debits and decreased by credits. Assets. Owner's drawings. And expenses. Buy equipment? Debit equipment, the asset grew. Pay rent? Debit rent expense, the expense grew. A memory trick: A, D, E... assets, drawings, expenses... all grow on the left. The mirror image. Three account types are increased by credits and decreased by debits. Liabilities. Owner's capital. And revenues. Borrow from the bank? Credit notes payable, the
6:23
liability grew. Earn a sale? Credit service revenue, the revenue grew. So: L, O-C, R... liabilities, owner's capital, revenues... all grow on the right. STOP... right here. If you remember ONE slide from this entire course... make it THIS one. This is the map of ALL of accounting. And here's the secret nobody tells you: this map is not calculated... it's a DESIGN. A deal accountants shook hands on five hundred years ago: assets grow by debits and
6:54
shrink by credits... and every other account simply falls in line behind that choice. Now look at it laid over the expanded accounting equation. Left side of the equation? Grows LEFT. Right side? Grows RIGHT. Clean... powerful... permanent. And those SIGNS in the equation... they are talking to you! See the MINUS in front of Owner's Drawings? That minus is a warning: every time drawings increase, owner's equity goes DOWN... the owner is pulling value out of the business. Now see
7:27
the PLUS in front of Revenues? That plus is a promise: every time revenues increase, owner's equity goes UP! Earn revenue and collect the money... Cash is DEBITED... the Revenue account is CREDITED... and equity GROWS. Now watch this map go to work... two steps, every time, forever. ABC buys ten thousand dollars of supplies and pays cash. STEP ONE... chapter one analysis: what moved? Supplies went UP... the boxes are in our office. Cash went DOWN... it left the building.
8:00
STEP TWO... read the map! Supplies is an asset going up, and assets grow by DEBITS... so debit Supplies, ten thousand. Cash is an asset going down, and a shrinking asset goes to the credit side... credit Cash, ten thousand. Done! THAT is the whole game. Chapter one tells you WHAT moved... this map tells you WHICH SIDE. Own this map... and every journal entry for the rest of your life is just two easy steps. Now the famous rule we teased in chapter one.
8:31
The double-entry accounting system says: every business transaction is recorded in at least two accounts... and the total debits recorded must equal the total credits recorded. Every time. Money never appears from nowhere and never vanishes into nowhere; it always comes FROM one account and goes TO another. That's why the books can always be checked, and that's why the bank can always get its answer. Which raises the practical question... HOW do we actually write all of this down, day
9:01
after day, without losing our minds? With a beautiful three-step assembly line called the recording process... and it runs exactly the same in every company on Earth, from the corner coffee shop to Apple. Step one, ANALYZE the transaction. And real companies never analyze from memory... they analyze business documents: a sales receipt, a check, a bill... the paper evidence of what happened. Look at the evidence and ask: which accounts does this touch? Does each one go
9:33
up, or down? And therefore... do I debit it, or credit it? That's the tabular thinking you already mastered in chapter one. Step two, JOURNALIZE. Write the entry down... the date, the accounts, the amounts... in a book called the journal. And step three, POST. Copy that entry into each account's own T inside the ledger. Analyze... journalize... post. Transaction after transaction, month after month, the same smooth rhythm. Two of those words are brand new... journal, and ledger... so let's
10:06
go meet them properly. The journal is called the book of original entry, because it's where every transaction lands FIRST, recorded in chronological order, day by day, like a diary with dates. Each record in it is called a journal entry, and each entry shows three things: the date, the accounts affected, and the amounts to debit and credit. The technique has strict manners. The date goes in the left column. The account to be debited is written first, at the margin. The account to be
10:40
credited goes on the NEXT line, indented to the right... always. Debit amount in the debit column, credit amount in the credit column. Why the indent? So anyone can read a journal at a glance: flush left means debit, indented means credit. Five hundred years of accountants have kept this exact format. Let's journalize our friend ABC's transactions from chapter one... and for each entry, we won't just read the debits and credits, we'll ask WHY each side is
11:08
what it is. Transaction one: the owner invests twenty thousand cash. Money entered the business's pocket, so Cash, an asset, is increasing... and our rule says assets increase on the DEBIT side. So: debit Cash. The other side: this money is the owner's claim, so Owner's Capital, equity, is increasing... and equity increases on the CREDIT side. Debit Cash, credit Owner's Capital... the rules chose the sides for us. Two: buys equipment for twelve thousand cash. A machine arrives... Equipment, an
11:43
asset, increasing, so debit. Money left the pocket... Cash, an asset, DECREASING... and a decreasing asset goes on the credit side. One asset debited up, another credited down... the swap from chapter one, written in journal language. Three, careful: buys six thousand of supplies, paying two thousand cash and four thousand on account. Supplies, asset up... debit six thousand. Cash, asset down... credit two thousand. And the unpaid four thousand is a
12:15
brand new promise to pay: Accounts Payable, a liability, increasing... and liabilities increase on the CREDIT side. Three accounts in one entry! Total debits, six thousand. Total credits, six thousand. Balanced... because the rules force it to be. Keep going. Four: performs bookkeeping services for four thousand cash. Cash into the pocket, asset up... debit. And the business earned this by working, not by swapping... that's revenue, and revenue increases equity, so it lives
12:49
on the credit side: credit Service Revenue. Five: performs tax services on account for two thousand. The work is done, so revenue is earned... credit Service Revenue. But no cash yet... what we hold is the customer's IOU, Accounts Receivable, an asset increasing... debit. Exactly like chapter one taught: earned when performed, not when paid. Six: borrows eight hundred on a note payable. Cash up, debit... but this is NOT revenue, because the money must go back. The string attached is
13:23
Notes Payable, a liability increasing... credit. Seven: buys three thousand of equipment on account. Asset arriving, debit Equipment... promise to pay born, credit Accounts Payable. No cash touched at all. Eight: pays rent, twenty five hundred. Cash down, credit. And what did we get? A month of space, already used up, nothing left to own... that's an expense. Expenses DECREASE equity, and here's the twist that trips everyone: because they shrink equity,
13:55
expenses increase on the DEBIT side. Debit Rent Expense. Nine: collects the two thousand from transaction five. Cash up, debit... the IOU disappears, Accounts Receivable, asset down, credit. Asset for asset... and NO new revenue, we already earned it in five. The last four. Ten: the owner withdraws one thousand for personal use. Cash flows from the business pocket into the owner's personal pocket... Cash down, credit. And on the other side: this is not a business
14:28
cost, so it's NOT an expense... it's Drawings, which cuts equity directly. Anything that decreases equity sits on the debit side: debit Owner's Drawings. Eleven: pays monthly bills. Salaries, utilities, advertising... all services already consumed to run the month, so all three are expenses, and expenses are debits: debit Salaries and Wages Expense five hundred, debit Utilities Expense three hundred, debit Advertising Expense one hundred. One pocket paid for all of it:
15:00
credit Cash nine hundred. Three debits, one credit, still balanced. Twelve: the four hundred dollar Facebook bill arrives, payment postponed. The ad already ran, so the expense already happened... debit Advertising Expense. No cash moved, so the other side is the promise to pay: credit Accounts Payable. Recognition doesn't wait for cash. Thirteen: pays the three thousand owed from transaction seven. The promise is erased... Accounts Payable, a liability DECREASING, and a
15:32
shrinking liability moves to the debit side: debit Accounts Payable. Money out of the pocket: credit Cash. Equity feels nothing... we settled old business, we didn't create a new cost. Thirteen for thirteen, and every single entry balanced. Two flavors of journal entry, and you've now seen both. A simple entry involves only two accounts: one debit and one credit, like paying rent. A compound entry requires three or more accounts, like transaction three,
16:01
or the triple-expense entry eleven. One rule for compound entries, in standard format: all debits are listed before the credits. Always debits first. Step three needs a destination: the ledger, also called the general ledger. If the journal is the diary sorted by date, the ledger is the binder sorted by account. It contains ALL the asset, liability, and owner's equity accounts, and it accumulates the increases and decreases in each specific account, providing its balance. Companies
16:31
arrange the ledger in the sequence of the expanded accounting equation: assets first, then liabilities, then capital, drawings, revenues, expenses. And here is a secret that connects everything: every page inside that binder... IS a T-account. The T you mastered earlier is the ledger account... we just draw it as a T for simplicity, because it keeps debits on the left and credits on the right, crystal clear. In the real world, though, a ledger page usually wears a different costume...
17:01
it looks like your bank statement: date, debit, credit, and a running balance after every single line. Same information... same left and right... just dressed for the office. For learning, we will stick with the T... simple, clean, and crystal clear. Moving information from the journal to the ledger has a name: posting... and it is just careful copying. Watch our own two entries do it. Entry one, December first: the journal says debit Cash, twenty thousand...
17:30
so we open the Cash page in the ledger, and write twenty thousand on its LEFT side. The journal says credit Owner's Capital, twenty thousand... so we open the Capital page, and write twenty thousand on its RIGHT side. Entry one... posted. Entry two, December second: debit Equipment, twelve thousand... Equipment page, left side. Credit Cash, twelve thousand... back to the Cash page, right side this time. See how the Cash page is already collecting its story... money in on the
18:00
left, money out on the right. That is posting: every debit goes to the LEFT of its own T... every credit to the RIGHT of its own T... one entry at a time, in journal order. And after posting, each book keeps its job: the journal answers "what happened on December first?"... the ledger answers "how much cash do we have now?" Same facts... two different filing systems. We posted entries one and two... now let's finish the ENTIRE journal, one entry at a time... no
18:31
shortcuts. Say the rhythm with me: debit to the LEFT of its T... credit to the RIGHT of its T... in journal order. Entry three: Supplies, debit six thousand... Cash, credit two thousand... Accounts Payable, credit four thousand. Entry four: Cash, debit four thousand... Service Revenue, credit four thousand. Entry five: Accounts Receivable, debit two thousand... Service Revenue, credit two thousand. Entry six: Cash, debit eight hundred... Notes Payable, credit eight hundred.
19:04
Entry seven: Equipment, debit three thousand... Accounts Payable, credit three thousand. Entry eight: Rent Expense, debit twenty five hundred... Cash, credit twenty five hundred. Entry nine: Cash, debit two thousand... Accounts Receivable, credit two thousand. Entry ten: Owner's Drawings, debit one thousand... Cash, credit one thousand. Entry eleven, the compound one: Salaries and Wages Expense, debit five hundred... Utilities Expense, debit three hundred...
19:37
Advertising Expense, debit one hundred... and Cash, credit nine hundred. Entry twelve: Advertising Expense, debit four hundred... Accounts Payable, credit four hundred. And entry thirteen: Accounts Payable, debit three thousand... Cash, credit three thousand. THIRTEEN entries... posted... in journal order... exactly how it's done. Now the payoff: draw the subtotal line on every single page, and let each T announce its balance. Cash: twenty six thousand eight hundred in... twenty one thousand
20:12
four hundred out... balance, five thousand four hundred, on the debit side. Equipment: fifteen thousand. Accounts Payable: seventy four hundred of promises against three thousand paid... four thousand four hundred, credit side. Service Revenue: six thousand. Look at that board... every account now holds its balance. And these balances are about to line up for their big inspection... the trial balance... where total debits must equal total credits. Let's go check.
20:45
And here's the payoff... this trial balance is not from some random company. It's OUR ABC, built straight from the thirteen entries you just wrote. Debit column: cash, five thousand four hundred... the survivor of ten different cash moves. Supplies, six thousand. Equipment, fifteen thousand... the twelve thousand purchase plus the three thousand bought on account. Owner's drawings, one thousand. Rent expense, twenty five hundred. Salaries five hundred, utilities three hundred... and
21:14
advertising five hundred, the one hundred we paid plus the four hundred bill from transaction twelve. Total debits: thirty one thousand two hundred. Credit column: notes payable eight hundred... accounts payable four thousand four hundred, that's seventy four hundred of promises made minus the three thousand we paid back... owner's capital twenty thousand... service revenue six thousand. Total credits: thirty one thousand two hundred. A perfect match. And notice who's MISSING: accounts
21:43
receivable. We billed two thousand, we collected two thousand... the IOU page closed at zero, so it has nothing to report. Every number on this page traces back to an entry you can point to. That's the system working. Now the chapter's finale. Follow the chain: the journal records transactions in chronological order... the ledger keeps track of changes in each account and provides its balance... and the trial balance is a list of all accounts and their balances at a given time. Debit
22:13
balances in one column, credit balances in the other. If the two columns match, the books pass the first big test. Three advantages. One: it proves that total debit balances equal total credit balances, the mathematical heartbeat of double entry. Two: it helps uncover errors in journalizing and posting... if the columns don't match, something went wrong somewhere. Three: it's a necessary step before preparing the financial statements. No trial balance, no income statement.
22:41
But here's the warning, and it matters: a trial balance may balance even when things are wrong. Four sneaky cases. One: a transaction was never journalized at all. Two: a correct journal entry was never posted. Three: a journal entry was posted twice. Four: incorrect accounts were used in journalizing or posting. In every one of these, debits still equal credits... so the columns match, and the error hides. Baby version: the trial balance checks that the scale is balanced... not
23:11
that you weighed the right things. Let's zoom out for a second... because you deserve to see the whole map. Everything accountants do, every single period, follows one big loop called the ACCOUNTING CYCLE. Step one: analyze the transactions. Step two: journalize them. Step three: post to the ledger. Step four: prepare the trial balance. Now look at where you are standing... you have already DONE all four! Chapter one taught you to analyze... and this chapter taught
23:44
you to journalize, to post, and to prove it all with a trial balance. That is the entire recording half of the cycle... conquered. So what's left? Step five: adjusting entries... that's chapter three, where we make the books tell the truth. Step six: the adjusted trial balance. Step seven: the financial statements you met in chapter one. Step eight: closing entries... that's chapter four. And step nine: the post-closing trial balance, which resets the books so the loop can start
24:18
all over again. Four steps down... five to go... and you are already ahead of most first-year accounting students. Keep going. One of those sneaky errors was using the wrong account... so how do companies keep dozens of accounts from getting mixed up in the first place? They keep a chart of accounts: the ledger's table of contents... a numbered list of every account the company currently uses. Here's ABC's chart. Assets live in the
24:47
one hundreds: one-ten, Cash... one-fifteen, Accounts Receivable... down to one-fifty, Equipment. Liabilities take the two hundreds. Owner's equity, the three hundreds. Revenues, the four hundreds... and expenses, the five hundreds. Notice two smart details. First: balance sheet accounts come first, income statement accounts after. Second: look at the GAPS... one-ten, then one-fifteen. Those gaps are on purpose! New accounts get inserted right into the gaps as the business grows... the chart is
25:19
never carved in stone, companies keep adding accounts throughout the whole life of the business. Now, one warning, because students mix these two up on every single exam: the chart of accounts is NOT the trial balance. The chart is the MENU... just names and numbers, no dollar amounts anywhere, and it barely ever changes. The trial balance is the SNAPSHOT... real balances with real totals, taken at one specific date, made fresh every time. Menu... versus snapshot. Say it with
25:49
me, and never confuse them again. What if you journalize with the WRONG account name? Remember ABC's transaction seven... three thousand of equipment, bought on account. Now imagine the bookkeeper wrote debit SUPPLIES three thousand instead of Equipment. The credit to Accounts Payable was fine, the totals were fine... the trial balance still balances! But the books now lie: they show supplies we don't have, and hide equipment we do. The fix is called a correcting entry, and
26:22
there are two ways to do it. Method one is the eraser method... two clean steps. Step one: REVERSE the wrong entry. Debit Accounts Payable three thousand, credit Supplies three thousand... that erases the mistake completely, as if it never happened. Step two: record the CORRECT entry. Debit Equipment three thousand, credit Accounts Payable three thousand. Now look at the pages. Supplies: plus three thousand, then minus three thousand... back to ZERO,
26:53
telling the truth. Equipment: three thousand, finally on its page. Accounts Payable: three thousand, exactly what we owe. The books are honest again. Method two gets the same job done with just ONE entry... and here's the baby-simple way to see it. Accounts Payable was never wrong. We really do owe three thousand... so don't touch it. The ONLY problem is that three thousand is sitting on the wrong page: it's on the Supplies page, and it belongs on the Equipment page. So make one move.
27:25
Debit Equipment three thousand... putting the amount where it belongs. Credit Supplies three thousand... lifting it off the page where it never belonged. Like a library book left on the wrong shelf: one move, right shelf, done. Now compare the two methods side by side. Method one took two entries. Method two took one. But look at the ending: Supplies, zero. Equipment, three thousand. Accounts Payable, three thousand. The EXACT same conclusion,
27:52
either way. Pick whichever your brain likes best... the books end up telling the same truth. Let's speed-run a real problem: Harbor Marketing, a brand-new company, in its very first April. April first: the owner invests twenty thousand. Debit Cash, credit Owner's Capital. April first, second event: the company HIRES an employee... and the answer is: no entry! Hiring changes no asset, no liability, no equity yet... nothing to record until wages are owed. The new employee's feelings are
28:28
noted... just not journalized. April second: rent, eleven hundred. Debit Rent Expense, credit Cash. April third: four thousand of supplies on account. Debit Supplies... and no cash moved, so the other side is the promise to pay: credit Accounts Payable. April tenth: bills a client five thousand one hundred. Debit Accounts Receivable, credit Service Revenue. April eleventh, new concept: a client pays one thousand IN ADVANCE for work not yet done. Debit
29:02
Cash... credit Unearned Service Revenue, a LIABILITY. You owe the work! Cash before service is a debt of services. April twentieth: collects two thousand one hundred cash for services performed. Debit Cash, credit Service Revenue. April thirtieth: pays salaries, two thousand eight hundred. Debit Salaries and Wages Expense, credit Cash. Also April thirtieth: pays two thousand four hundred of what it owed. Debit Accounts Payable, credit Cash. Then we post everything to the
29:35
ledger and let each account tell its story. Cash: twenty thousand in, one thousand in, twenty one hundred in... eleven hundred out, twenty eight hundred out, twenty four hundred out... balance, sixteen thousand eight hundred. Service revenue: five thousand one hundred plus twenty one hundred... seventy two hundred. And the graduation moment: Harbor Marketing's trial balance at April thirtieth. Debits: cash sixteen thousand eight hundred... accounts
30:06
receivable five thousand one hundred... supplies four thousand... salaries and wages expense two thousand eight hundred... rent expense eleven hundred. Total: twenty nine thousand eight hundred. Credits: accounts payable sixteen hundred... unearned service revenue one thousand... owner's capital twenty thousand... service revenue seven thousand two hundred. Total: twenty nine thousand eight hundred. Perfectly balanced. Journal... ledger... trial balance. You just did the entire
30:36
recording process, start to finish. And let me tell you something from my own student days... THIS exact moment is either pure happiness... or pure panic. You total the two columns, you hold your breath... if they MATCH, you smile, because there is a very high probability that everything you did is correct. If they DON'T... deep breath... back you go, hunting for the error, line by line. We have ALL been there. And that, right there, is why chapters one
31:06
and two are EVERYTHING. Most students who say accounting is hard... never truly mastered these two chapters. Master them... and this moment becomes your happy moment, every single time. Your turn. Pause the video. Question one: ABC buys nine hundred dollars of supplies on account. Write the journal entry. Question two: ABC collects six hundred dollars from a client it billed last month. Write the journal entry... and the trap question: is there any
31:40
new revenue? Pause now... Ready? Answer one: debit Supplies nine hundred, credit Accounts Payable nine hundred. Answer two: debit Cash six hundred, credit Accounts Receivable six hundred... and NO new revenue. It was recorded when the service was performed. You didn't fall for it, right? Time to lock it in... and I made you a cheat card. Pause the video, screenshot this, keep it in your camera roll. One: an account is a T... title on top, debit means left, credit
32:16
means right, nothing more. Two: assets, drawings, and expenses grow by debits... A, D, E. Three: liabilities, owner's capital, and revenues grow by credits... L, O, C, R. Four: double entry... every transaction hits at least two accounts, and total debits always equal total credits. Five, the pipeline: analyze, journalize, post. And six: the trial balance is a matching test... it proves the columns agree, but it cannot see a missing entry, a doubled entry, or the right amount in the
32:47
wrong account. Got your screenshot? Good. And remember what I told you at the start: chapter one gave you the equation, chapter two gave you the recording machine... these two ARE the foundation of accounting. If anything on this card feels shaky, rewatch that section now... it's the best investment you'll make in this course. That's Chapter two... you write like an accountant now. But before you celebrate, something is quietly wrong with
33:16
your books. Your trial balance balances PERFECTLY... columns match to the penny... and some of its numbers are still lying to you. The books say supplies, four thousand. Walk to the closet and count... there's much less. Who's right, the books or the closet? And why does a perfectly balanced report need the word UNADJUSTED stamped on it? That's chapter three... where we make the books tell the truth. Before you go: head to option flow tracker dot com... link in
