Journals
• Accounting personnel record transactions in a journal, the book of original entry.
• The journal is a chronological record of business events by account.

Types of Journals
• Sales – all credit sales• Purchases – all credit purchases• Cash Receipts – all incoming cash• Cash Disbursements – all outgoing cash• General – any transactions that don’t fit above
Newer accounting software often uses different modules or navigators in place of these journals (e.g. QuickBooks)

Ledgers
• A ledger may be a general ledger or a subsidiary ledger.– A general ledger is a book of T-accounts, listing all
transactions that affect each account.
– A subsidiary ledger contains detailed records pertaining to a particular control account in the general ledger (e.g. A/R, A/P, PP&E)
• Posting to ledgers can be done in batches or in real-time.

Origins of Double Entry Acctg
• 15th century Franciscan monk and mathematician, Luca Pacioli, made famous the concept of double-entry accounting in his book Summa de Arithmetica, printed in 1494 (he did not claim to invent double-entry accounting)
• Double-entry accounting is derived from a basic premise in algebra, that what happens to one side of the equal sign must happen to the other.
• Pacioli first used the terms Debit and Credit (from Latin word Debitore and Creditore which means "shall give" and "shall have", respectively) simply to reflect the left and right sides of his ledger
• Bookkeeping today have changed little since Pacioli, who said that you first start with an inventory of assets and liabilities, listed in order of decreasing liquidity. His trial balance was to ensure that dr = cr and thus reduce transpositional and other mistakes, “which mistake you will have to look for diligently with the industry and intelligence God gave you.”

Trial Balances
• Once an AIS records journal entries and posts them to the general ledger, the system can create a trial balance.
• Three end of period trial balances are needed:– A preadjusting trial balance after all entries have
been posted;– An adjusted trial balance after adjustments have
been recorded and posted;– A postclosing trial balance after temporary
accounts have closing entries have been recorded and posted.

Types of Codes
• Mnemonic Codes give visible clues concerning the objects they represent (e.g. S, M, L XL, XXL).
• Sequence Codes assign numbers or letters in consecutive order (e.g. Check numbers).
• Block Codes are sequential codes in which specific blocks of numbers are reserved for particular uses (e.g. Chart of accounts).
• Group Codes reveal two or more dimensions or facets pertaining to an object (e.g. fund/asset/cur. asset/acct no.= 1-1-1-10)
