In mathematics, particularly in accounting, "debit" refers to an entry that increases an asset or expense account or decreases a liability or equity account. It is recorded on the left side of a ledger or journal. Debits are crucial for maintaining the double-entry bookkeeping system, where every transaction affects at least two accounts, ensuring that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced.
