Journal Ledger

Journal ledger refers to the combined system where journal entries are recorded and then posted into ledger accounts for classification. While the journal captures transactions chronologically, the ledger organises them by account. This structure ensures accurate tracking, easier reconciliation, and proper preparation of financial statements.
