What to Focus On

  • Journal records transactions in chronological order.
  • It is the book where transactions are recorded for the first time.
  • Every journal record is called a journal entry.
  • Journal has five columns.
  • Year and month are written only once for a group of transactions of the same month.
  • The debited account is written first, followed by the credited account.
  • Identify the accounts affected.
  • Recognise the type of account.
  • Apply debit and credit rules.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A journal is the same as a ledger.

Every transaction can be written in any order without date sequence.

A journal entry is complete even if the debit and credit accounts are not identified correctly.
