What is Journalizing? What are the columns of a journal?
Journalizing is the process of recoding business transactions in the Journal in chronological order, as and when the transactions take place. Journal is also known as Book of Original Entry or the Book of Prime Entry.
Journal has following five columns:
-Date
-Particulars
-Ledger Folio
-Amount Debited
-Amount Credited
Explain Compound Journal Entry.
In day to day business, various similar transactions take place on the same day and every account is either debited or credited. Thus instead of passing different entries, a compound entry can be passed, which involves more than one debit or more than one credit or both. This makes the journal less bulky and avoids duplication.
