Solution

Double entry system records the transactions by understanding them as a DEBIT ITEM or CREDIT ITEM.
A debit entry in one account gives opposite effect in another account by credit entry.

This method of accounting and book-keeping results in the accurate depiction of financial statements. Thus, it also lowers the rate of errors by detecting them on a timely basis.
