Which principle of book keeping is use in store accounting?

The matching principle propounds that, when you record revenue, you should record all related expenses at the same time. Thus, you charge inventory to the cost of goods sold at the same time that you record revenue from the sale of those inventory items.

What is the standard system of bookkeeping used by many businesses?

Enterprises often choose the double-entry system because it leaves less room for error. In a way, it 'double-checks' your books because each transaction is recorded as two matching but offsetting accounts.
