Journals
Published in
- Journals, or "journal entries," are accounting records used to record financial transactions in a company's general ledger manually. Each journal entry includes a description of the transaction, the accounts affected, and the amount debited or credited to each account. Journals are typically organized by date and serve as the primary source of information for posting transactions to the general ledger. Common types of journals include sales journals, purchase journals, cash receipt journals, and cash disbursement journals.
