Introduction

Journal cannot give net results of various transactions related to any account, at a given date the full information is not made available, with regard to value of assets, incomes & expenses.

This limitation can be overcome by opening a

LEDGER, which shows the net results of different accounts on given date.

LEDGER is also called the “Book of final entry”

From the LEDGER it is not possible to know the total purchases, sales, rent, salaries paid etc, this limitation can be over come by

LEDGER.

LEDGER

: It is a book, where the various accounts pertaining to particular person, asset, expense are grouped together in one place in the form of an account.

The process of transferring the transactions from JOURNAL to LEDGER is called “POSTING”
