define contra entry?

Answer Posted / boateng darko

we say a transaction is a contra entry when two accounts
which are opposite in nature are involve the single
transaction eg when you pay money from the cash account to
the bank account or when you buy from a supplier on credit
and at the same time give a credit facility to the supplier
we record it in the books of account as a contra entry.
