offset accountin means When you enter an accounting entry, you often cancel it with an equal entry that is its opposite. This cancellation of one entry by another in the general ledger is a form of offsetting. However, offset accounting generally refers to the creation of contra accounts to offset, or net, one account from another on the balance sheet.
