Liabilities, Capital & Reserves' A/cs. A Ledger is a book of
secondary entries & transactions are posted to relevant
Ledger A/cs from the book of Primary Entries (i.e. Purchase
Book, Sales Book, Bank Book, Cash Book, General Journal,
CN/DN Register, etc.)
Each ledger a/c will have all transactions (Debit & Credit)
