Accounts recording transactions with a person or group of persons are known as personal accounts. These accounts are necessary, in particular, to record credit transactions. Personal accounts are of the following types:

2. Artificial or legal persons: An account recording financial transactions with an artificial person created y law or otherwise is termed as an artificial persons' personal account. For e.g. Firms' accounts, limited companies' accounts.

3. Representative personal accounts: An account indirectly representing a person or persons is known as representative personal account.
