Django Accounting Library

A Django-based double-entry bookkeeping system that provides a robust framework for handling financial transactions.

Summary

• All transactions must follow double-entry principles (debits must equal credits)

• Entries must be either debit OR credit, not both

• All monetary values are stored with 4 decimal places

• Currency conversion is handled automatically based on currency conversion rates

• Control accounts aggregate entries from their child accounts
