oThe journal is a
chronological record(day-
by-day) of business
transactions
oIt is called the book of
original entry because it is
the accounting record in
which financial
transactions are first
recorded. *
*The ledger refers to the accounting book in which
the accounts and their related amounts as recorded
in the journal are posted periodically.
*The ledger is called the “book of final entry”
because all the balances in the ledger are used in the
preparation of financial statements. This is also
called the T-account because the basic form of a
ledger is like the letter “T”.

*Rule 1: All accounts that normally contain a debit balance will increase in amount
when a debit (left column) is added to them, and reduced when a credit (right
column) is added to them. The types of accounts to which this rule applies are
expenses, assets, and dividends.
*Rule 2: All accounts that normally contain a credit balance will increase in
amount when a credit (right column) is added to them, and reduced when a debit
(left column) is added to them. The types of accounts to which this rule applies
are liabilities, revenues, and equity.
*Rule 3: Contra accounts reduce the balances of the accounts with which they are
paired. This means that (for example) a contra account paired with an asset
account behaves as though it were a liability account.
*Rule 4: The total amount of debits must equal the total amount of credits in a
transaction. Otherwise, a transaction is said to be unbalanced, and the financial
statements from which a transaction is constructed will be inherently incorrect.
