In Accounting, what are credit entries and also explain what does an entry on the CREDIT SIDE means. Is Credit side and Credit Balance the same?

Credit entries are the entries found on the right-hand side of any ledger account.

An entry on the CREDIT side indicates:-

• A decrease in ASSETS;
• A decrease in EXPENSES
• An increase in LIABILITIES
• An increase in REVENUE or
• An increase in CAPITAL

The credit side and credit balance is not the same.

Unlike credit entries, a credit balance on an account indicates the credit side of the account is greater than the debit side
