The recording of the journal entries keeps track of all financial transactions in time order. These journal entries utilize a double-entry bookkeeping method to give each business transaction a dual impact.                          

What is meant by journal entry?

  • All company transactions are documented in journal entries. Any financial activity that has an effect on the firm is a transaction, in the broadest sense.
  • They encompass every transaction involving the exchange of money, including interest payments, depreciation, costs, and wages. They are not just restricted to the purchasing and selling of products and services.
  • General journal entries are not processed automatically as invoices or cash receipts are handled; rather, they are entered manually into the general ledger. A depreciation expenditure entry is an illustration: Number of reference: 9902. Date: 12/31/20.
  • Business transactions are initially entered in a journal in manual accounting or bookkeeping systems, thus the name journal entry.
