What to Focus On

  • Source documents are the starting point of accounting.
  • Only money-measurable transactions are recorded.
  • Books of original entry include journal, cash book, and other day books.

  • Journal is the book of original entry.
  • Journal records transactions in chronological order.
  • Journalising means recording transactions in the journal.

  • Ledger is the book of final entry.
  • Posting means transferring entries from journal to ledger.
  • Ledger contains personal, real, and nominal accounts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Journal and ledger are the same thing because both record transactions.

Cash transactions must always be recorded in the journal proper.

Journal entries can record any event, even if no money value is involved.

Memory Tips

Journal is a book of original entry

Journal derives from the French word Jour meaning a day

Source documents begin the accounting process

Only pecuniary transactions are recorded
