Journal
1. Is the book of prime entry.
2. As soon as transaction originates it is recorded in
journal
3. Transactions are recorded in order of occurrence i.e.
strictly in order of dates.
4. Narration (brief description) is written for each entry.
5. Ledger folio is written
6. Relevant information cannot be ascertained readily e.g.
cash in hand can't be found out easily.
7. Final accounts can't be prepared directly from journal.
8. Accuracy of the books can't be tested.
9. Debit and credit amounts of a transaction are recorded
in adjacent columns.
10. Journal has two columns one for debit amount another
for credit amount.

12. With the computerization of accounting journal may not
be used for routine transactions like receipts, purchases,
sales etc
Ledger
1. Is the book of final entry.
2. Transactions are posted in the ledger after the same
have been recorded in the journal.
3. Transactions are classified according to the nature and
are grouped in the concerned accounts.
4. Narration is not required.
5. Folio of the journal or sub-journal is written.
6. Since transactions of particular nature are grouped at
one place therefore relevant information can be ascertained.

8. Accuracy of the books is tested by means of list of
balances.
9. Debit and credit amounts of a transaction are recorded
in two different sides of two different accounts.
