Journal
The Journal records all daily transactions of a business into the order in which they occur. A
journal may, therefore, be defined as a book containing a chronological record of transactions.
It is the book in which the transactions are recorded first of all under the double entry system.
Thus, Journal is the book of the original record .
On this basis, it becomes necessary for the business to keep an account of:
4. Each person with whom it deals.
5. Each property or asset which the business owns.
6. Each item of income or expense.
The accounting falling under the first heading is called “Personal Accounts”.
The account falling under the second heading are termed “Real Accounts”.
The accounts falling under the third heading are termed “Nominal Accounts”.
