Credit vs debit?

Debit is the left side of accounting statement and Credit is the right side of accounting statement. By debit we mean something comes inside the organization and by credit we mean, something goes outside the organization. That means debit means inflow and credit means outflow. For Example, we write Accounts Recieveable at, cash in hand, cash at bank, and assets at the left side of accounting statement as debit and write Accounts Payable, Bonds Payable, Bills Payable and other liabilities at the right side of accounting statement as credit.
