1. Personal accounts 
PERSONAL accounts are of persons. From watching these accounts we can find what amount, we have to give or what amount, we have to get. Personal account can also divide into following sub parts. 
( A ) Natural person’s personal account 
These accounts are of natural persons. These persons are made of blood, bones , skin and other living organs. We can touch them physically and they can feel us . They can sells the goods to us or we sell them goods. So, we need to make these account for tracking the amount receivable and payable. 

For example Visual’s account, Mohan’s Account etc.


( B ) Artificial person’s personal accounts 
Artificial persons are those which are not living human being but have existence in the eye of Law. They can operate their business by board of directors, managers and other authorities of organization.
