What I Need to Know

Being organized and discreet with everything we do would most likely provide
us peace of mind. We tend to remember almost what we did last week; when do we
keep doing things; where we constantly put things we often forget; how much did we
spend on the entire travel; and the reason why did we spend so much on that
particular thing. See how important records are. Without them, we might just forget
how things done and where did it all go.

In the corporate world, accounting records are as vital as the business itself.
They are the basis of the financial information we need to convey to other sectors.
They should be reliable and verifiable so that decision makers can be able to create
unbiased informed decisions. Thus, correct, and proper recording is a must.

In this module, you will learn where those records should be kept and what
does it looks like.

Most Essential Learning Competencies:

1. Illustrate the format of a general and special journals


(ABM_FABM11-IIIf-23)
2. Illustrate the format of a general and subsidiary ledger
(ABM_FABM11-IIIf-24)

This module is divided into two lesson:


Lesson 1. General and Special Journals
Lesson 2. General and Special Ledgers

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. define Journal and Ledger;


2. identify types of Journal and Ledger;
3. illustrate the format of general and special journals;
4. illustrate the format of general and subsidiary ledgers; and
5. differentiate the difference between Journal and Ledger.

Activity 2

Directions: Match the columnar headings with their appropriate definition. Choose
your answer from the box and write it in a separate sheet of paper.

Date Column Particulars Folio


Debit Column Credit Column

1. _______________shows the number of an account in a ledger or page of a


ledger to which it was transferred. It is the Latin word for page. It is also
called a reference.
2. _______________this is a money column showing the peso amount of the

4. _______________this is the money column showing the peso amount of the

5. _______________shows the date when the transactions took place.

What is It

Companies initially record transactions in chronological order (the order in


which they occur). For this reason, there are two sets of books that are used by the
business: the JOURNAL and the LEDGER. The Book of Original Entry is called
Journal which is of two kinds; the General Journal and the Special Journal. This
is called the book of original entry because it is in this book where transactions are
recorded for the first time.
A General Journal can that be of a loose-leaf or book-bound form.

Date Particulars F Debit Credit

Date Column. Shows the date when the transactions took place.

Particulars. Shows the item or the accounts debited and credited because of a
transaction analysis as well as a brief or concise explanation of what the transaction
is about.

6
Folio. Shows the number of an account in a ledger or page of a ledger to which it
was transferred. It is the Latin word for page. It is also called a reference.
Debit Column. This is a money column showing the peso amount of the value
received in a transaction.

Credit Column. This is the money column showing the peso amount of the value
parted with in a transaction.

The use of a General Journal as a book of original entry was over emphasized.
It will be voluminous and unwieldy because of the number of transactions recorded
daily. Aside from this, only one person can have the knowledge and control of the
transactions because only one person can be given task to do the recording in the
General Journal.

That is why; other entities usually prefer to use Special Journals. Each
special journal has specific use in recording transactions as discussed below:

Sales Journal – only transactions involving sale of merchandise on account or on


credit terms are recorded in this book. The pro-forma journal entry is:
Accounts Receivable
Sales

Date Suppliers Charge Terms Accounts Sales


Invoice No. Receivable Cr.

Purchases Journal - only transactions involving purchase of merchandise on


account or on credit terms are recorded in this book. The pro-forma journal entry is:

Purchases
Accounts Payable

Date Customers Charge Terms Accounts Purchases


Invoice No. Payable Dr.

Cash Receipts Journal – only transactions involving receipts of cash are recorded
in this book. The pro-forma journal entry is:

What is It

Ledger is the second major books of accounts used by the business. This is
also called the Book of Final Entry because it is in this book where transactions that
were recorded in the Journal are transferred for final recording. It has two kinds,
namely: The General Ledger and the Subsidiary Ledger.
General Ledger (also called Group of Accounts) can that also be of a loose
leaf or book bound form. This book will group items or accounts of the same kind,
class, or nature. Each item or account is being provided with a leaf of a ledger.

Date Column. Shows the date of the transaction that occurred as recorded in the
Journal.

Particulars (also called Explanation, Description, or Item). Shows a brief but a


concise explanation of the transaction as shown in the Journal.

Folio. Shows the number of a Journal where entries are taken from.

Money Column. The debit money column shows the amounts that are transferred
from the debit money column of the Journal while the credit money column shows
the amounts that are transferred from one credit money columns of the Journal.

However, the simple T-account form used in accounting textbooks is often very
useful for illustration purposes. Ledgers are much more structured though and often
used in practice. The picture displays in Activity 1 is an example of a General Ledger
of a Hybrid Company.

Subsidiary Ledger is used as separate books which are maintained to show the
details or breakdown as to who those customers indebted to the business are and
who those suppliers are whom we have not yet paid.

Alphabetical Order.

Activity 2
Directions: Determine what type of ledger (General Ledger, Accounts Receivable
Subsidiary Ledger or Accounts Payable Subsidiary Ledger) is needed for
the following scenario:

1. Mr. Knight Velasquez, the Manager of Sweet Maple Company, has an


executive board meeting in five minutes. He wanted to know how much the
balance of collectibles and payables is for the current year.

2. Mr. Jacques Sotello has a business of chains of hotels and restaurants.


Cloud Beaumont is one his many customers and a good friend as well. As
Jacques’ good friend, Cloud always leaves his friends’ hotel or restaurant
without paying anything because he tends to forget it often. That is why,
Jacques’ secretary creates a ledger of Cloud’s account. Every end of the
month, Jacques sums up his balances and collects his account. What
ledger should Jacques asked?

3. Mr. Kalix Martinez is known for having a good quality yet affordable one.
He is the biggest supplier of Luna’s Merchandise, where they sell
customized furniture and fixture. Mr. Kalix has a policy that states “If you
can pay one week ahead of your due, you can get 10% sales discount”.
Because of that, Luna would always account all its payables a week before
it is due to avail the said discount. What ledger should Luna need to look
for?
