In accounting system, each business transaction is first recorded in an accounting record called the journal. Since the transactions are initially recorded in a journal therefore it is also called book of original entry. The process in which one account is debited and other credited is called journalizing. The journal is a chronological (day-by-day) record of business transactions. Here, we should note that the transactions can be directly recorded in the ledger but there are various advantages associated with the use of journal. For example, journal helps to avoid the errors, provides lot of information at one place and gives the record of business transactions for all times. There are various types of journals and the simplest one is general journal.
