This is the basic concept behind double entry bookkeeping. If the debits don't equal the credits, something is not being accounted for. Example, you deposit $1,000 in the bank and record $800 in sales. Where did the other $200 come from? If someone paid off an A/R, you need to reduce the A/R or the account balance is incorrect. If it was a loan from the owner, you need to reflect that liability.
Because every action has an equal reaction .
That's just the way double-entry accounting works - if debits don't equal credits, that means an error has been made somewhere along the line and needs to be tracked down and corrected. If the debits don't equal the credits, the books are 'out of balance', any financial report generated from such a set of books is in error and meaningless.
But it's not a 'bullet-proof' test, either. Debits and credits can still equal - and there STILL could be errors on the books, but that's a different story.
