Debits and credits are simply a set of rules. To explain it in full here would be impossible, but if you watch my lectures it is explained in detail. The lectures on this topic are here : https://opentuition.com/acca/f3/double-entry-bookkeeping-part-a/ https://opentuition.com/acca/f3/double-entry-bookkeeping-part-b/ (You will need to download the Paper F3 course notes that go with it, but they are free of course)
