Journal book accounting is a method of recording financial transactions in chronological order, according to the principle of double-entry bookkeeping. This means that for every transaction entered into a journal, two entries are made: one to debit an account and one to credit another account. By keeping track of debits and credits, the company’s overall financial position can be assessed at any given time. Tracking finances through journal book accounting gives businesses insights into spending patterns, financial flow, and other data that can be used to make informed decisions about the organization as a whole. It’s an essential step in keeping financial operations running smoothly.
