ACCOUNTS

Introduction

In accounting, the definition of a source document is a piece of paper that proves that a transaction
has occurred. Source documents contain pertinent information about the transaction, such as the
date, the dollar amounts, the involved parties, and the purpose of the transaction. These documents
serve as proof not only that the transaction has occurred but also of the details of the transaction.
With advances in technology, source documents now also include electronic records, such as an
emailed receipt or an electronic bank statement.

PURPOSE

Accounting documents and journals are used to maintain records of a company's financial standing.
Not only do they show the current balances for the company's accounts, but they can also be used
to show patterns of income and spending and provide a picture of the overall health of a company.

An accounting journal entry includes several important details of the transaction, such as the date
and description of the transaction and which accounts will be debited and/or credited, depending on
the nature of the transaction. If the journal entry is incorrect, it can make the entire accounting
record inaccurate and cause tremendous problems for the business going forward. The examination
of source documents, therefore, is a critical first step to keeping accurate accounting records.

Source documents serve several purposes in accounting. First, original source documents serve as
evidence that a business transaction did occur. They also provide the details of the transaction,
including dollar amounts, the date of the transaction, the parties involved, and information as to the
purpose of the transaction. Accountants use source documents to complete accounting journal
entries about the transaction.

Importance of Source Documents

because they serve as physical evidence that a financial transaction actually occurred. Nowadays,
these documents do not necessarily need to be a physical hard copy – they may be in a traceable
electronic form.

In addition, source documents are also essential in the
