4- What do you mean by journals and journalizing?

Answer Posted / aqeel raza

Journal is a book or diary columnar designed to make easy record keeping but journalizing is the method of recording transaction in general journal or in specified journals but where cash book is used instead of journals, journal entry affects general ledger or to its subsidiary ledger accounts.
In business, sale or purchase on credit; the payment of which made later; is journalized by journal voucher which effect debtor or creditor accounts.
All adjustments such as sales discount, purchase discount, sale return, purchase return, transfer of amount from an account to another account and so on in accounts are made through journalizing.
