Who is the Double Entry poster for?

Double Entry belongs to the Accounting & Finance section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning financial accounting can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Double Entry poster?

Every transaction touches at least two accounts, and the two sides must agree. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Double Entry belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Double Entry?

What size does the Double Entry poster print at?

Double Entry is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Double Entry loses nothing.Printing guide
