Financial Transactions A financial transaction is an agreement or communication which is carried out between a buyer and a seller to exchange an asset for payment. It involves a change in the status of the finances of two or more businesses or individuals. Debits and Credits A debit on a customer’s account means that the customer owes the business money. Such as they have eaten lunch but have not yet paid for it. A credit on a customer’s account means that their debt to the business is reduced. This means that this could be a result of a payment done by the customer or a refund of a charge which was done by the business. Types of Documents There are two types of documentations which are necessary for every transaction. They are:  Invoice  Receipt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment Copyright © 2017 Apex Institute of Education SITXFIN001 Process Financial Transactions Page | 6 Invoice: Invoice is a bill which must be paid by a customer.
