Posting to the general ledger
For every small business owner, it is necessary to stay at par with the transactions of the company, and the transactions in the journal and ledger accounts needs to be recorded. Making ledger entry is an important aspect of accounting. Before posting to the general ledger accounts, the transactions are to be recorded in the journal. Every time a business records a transaction, it is necessary to record it. The first step is recording the transactions in the journal, which in turn is used for figuring the transactions and the entries included here depict the dates, the number if items sold or brought and other descriptions.
To make the journals more organised, it is necessary to separate the journals into different accounts. Obviously, the five main accounts include expenses, assets, liabilities, revenue, and equity. The main accounts are divided into smaller versions. With double-entry bookkeeping system, the inclusion of debit or credit card is normal, which represent opposite entries. Once the recording of transactions in the journal becomes ready, it is necessary to post them from the journal to the ledger.
Final book of entering transactions
The ledger is the final book for entering the transactions and assist in segmenting them. Each entry in the journal also moves to the individual account and the line of items is described as ledger entries. The debit and credit amounts should also move from the journal to the ledger account. Once the entries move to the general ledger, it is necessary to compute the balance of each account.
- The calculation of the balance of an expense or asset account comes after the subtraction of the total credit from the debits.
- Similarly, Calculation of the balance of liabilities and the equity account comes through the subtraction of total debits from the entire credits.
Without posting to the general ledger, every company will only have list of transactions from which finding the individual entries make it challenging and take a lot of time. Posting in the general ledger helps in the classification of transactions and allow companies to view their financial status and check the review patterns in expenses and sales. At SPD Consulting Pvt Ltd, we make it easy for organisations to post in the ledger in order to detect the errors and aim in making the financial transactions more accurate. Our aim is to assist companies in keeping the ledger entries up-to-date and prevents the occurrence of penalties.
