Active/Passive accounts... are these European terms?? We do not use them in Australia. In 30 years, I have never come across these terms in accounting and I have asked other accountants who had the same confused response as myself. Does anyone know where I can find out what these terms are referring to? I assume they must be different terms for assets, liability, and equity but that is only an assumption.
