Talking about a bank account
.

A: Why did you hide it there of all places?
B: To keep my money safe.
A: In a piggy bank? But this is just a toy.
B: A toy?
A: Yes, a toy for children to play with; It’s not a real bank.
B: What’s a real bank?
A: A place where you can have a bank account.
B: What’s a bank account? Time for another lesson.
A: Time for another lesson and look, this is my bankbook.
B: Uh, do you count up your money in this list?
A: In a way yes. You count your money, or you account for it.

This is all the money I paid out.
B: Uh, what are the deposits?

B: Uh, do you count up your money in this list?
1- What does “count up” mean in this sentence?
Does it mean “add” or does it mean “calculate”?
…
2- What does “you account for it” mean?
Does it mean “you explain your money” or does it mean " you keep a record of your money "?
Thank you
