36. II - LEDGER
♦ In journal, as all the business transactions are recorded
chronologically, it is very difficult to obtain all the
transactions pertaining to one head of account together at
one place.
♦ But, the preparation of different ledger accounts helps to
get a consolidated picture of the transactions pertaining to
one ledger account at a time.
♦ Thus, a ledger account may be defined as a summary
statement of all the transactions relating to a person, asset,
expense, or income or gain or loss which have taken place
during a specified period and shows their net effect
ultimately.

accuracy of the ledger accounts.
