LEDGER
• A ledger in accounting refers to a book that contains
different accounts where records of transactions pertaining
to a specific account is stored. It is also known as the book
of final entry or principal book of accounts. It is a book
where all transactions either debited or credited are stored.
• A ledger account is a combination of all the ledgers and
contains information related to all the accounting activities
of an organisation.
• A ledger contains different components which include the
various transaction elements such as date, amount,
particulars and l.f (ledger folio). Individual transactions are
contained within a ledger account and are identified by a
transaction number or any other type of notation.

Following are some examples of ledger
accounts
1. Accounts receivable
2. Cash
3. Depreciation
4. Accounts payable
5. Salaries and wages
6. Revenue
7. Debt
8. Inventory
9. Stockholders’ equity
10. Office expenses

Ledger Format
• The ledger consists of two columns prepared
in a T format. The two sides of debit and
credit contain date, particulars, folio number
and amount columns. The ledger format is as
follows.

Ledger Posting
• The process of transferring entries from a
journal to the respective ledger accounts is
known as ledger posting. For this process,
first, the entries are recorded in journals and
then transferred to their respective ledger
accounts.

State the meaning of ‘Debit Balance’.
• Balancing of an account means ascertaining
the net effect of the transaction, i.e. the
difference between the debit and credit side
of the ledger account. Thus, when the debit
side of the ledger account exceeds the credit
side, the balancing figure is termed as Debit
Balance. All the assets, expenses and losses
show Debit Balance.

What do you mean by Credit Balance?
• When credit side of the ledger account
exceeds the debit side, then the balancing
figure is termed as Credit Balance. All
Liabilities, Incomes and Gains and Capital
show Credit Balance.

(1) Transfer of a Journal entry from Journal to ledger- Posting
Explanation:
When a Journal entry is transferred or posted to the ledger account, this
process is known as posting. All the transactions are firstly recorded in the
Journal in the form of Journal entries and then transferred to their
respective ledger accounts.
(2) Total of Debit side of an A/c is more than total of Credit side of an A/c-
Debit Balance
Explanation:
When the total of debit side of an account is more than total of credit side
of that account, then the balancing figure is termed as debit Balance.
Balancing of an account means ascertaining the net effect of the
transaction, i.e. the difference between the debit and credit side of the
ledger account.
(3) Page number of ledger- Ledger Folio
Explanation:
Page number of a ledger account is known as Ledger Folio. It is the page
number or folio number of the page where the posting has been made
from the Journal. It is recorded in the L.F. column of the Journal.

(4) A book of an account in which all ledger accounts are maintained-
Ledger
Explanation:
A ledger is a book of accounts that contains all the ledger accounts
of the business, whether they are real, nominal or personal. All the
entries from Journal are posted to their respective ledger accounts.
(5) Left hand side of an account- Debit Side
Explanation:
All accounts are divided into two sides. An account is often called a
T-shape account, as it is in the T-shape format. The left side of an
account is called debit side and it is written as 'Dr.‘
(6) Right hand side of an account- Credit Side
Explanation:
Every account is divided into two sides. The right side of an account
is termed as credit side and it is written as 'Cr.'. It is often called a T-

Loss A/c- Nominal Accounts
Explanation:
Nominal accounts are the accounts that are not balanced and in order to close
these accounts, the balance is transferred to the Trading and Profit and Loss A/c.
Nominal accounts include all the accounts of income, gains, losses and expenses of
a firm. Nominal accounts are not balanced and these are closed by transferring the
balance to the Trading and Profit & Loss A/c.
(8) Bound book of accounts- Ledger
Explanation:
A ledger may be kept in the form of a bound register, cards or punched sheets in a
loose leaf binder. Hence, a ledger is also known as a bound book of accounts.
(9) An account where total of Purchases Book is posted- Purchases A/c
Explanation:
Total of Purchases Book is posted on the debit side of Purchases A/c. A Purchases
Book is a subsidiary book or a sub division of Journal. Thus, all the entries related
to the credit purchases of goods are first recorded in Purchases Book and then the
posting is made to the respective ledger accounts. Thus, Purchases A/c is the
account where the total of Purchases Book is posted.
(10) A statement of accounts prepared from the balances of ledger account- Trial
Balance
Explanation:
Trial Balance is a statement of accounts that is prepared from the balances of
ledger accounts. It is prepared in order to check the arithmetical accuracy of the
accounts. It shows the summary of debit and credit balances of all ledgers
accounts and helps in the preparation of financial statements of the business.

Trial Balance
• Trial Balance is a statement which accounts all the balances
of the Personal account, Real account, and Nominal
account regardless of either Revenue or Capital A/c. It
comprises 2 columns viz., debit and credit. If the
transactions are documented systematically by providing
dual-sided effect and later posted methodically, then the
total of both the columns would be similar.
• In other words, a trial balance is a worksheet record book
that reflects the debit and credit balance of all the
registered accounts. This worksheet statement is used to
prepare the final account report of the company. Trial
balance also determines the accuracy of the account.
However, it doesn’t ensure that the account is error-free
but surely gives mathematical precision.

Objectives of Preparing the Trial
Balance
• 1. To determine the financial efficiency of the ledger accounts- The trial balance
helps to keep a record all the credit and debit transactions properly in the ledger
and to check if the accounts have been balanced correctly. If both the balance is
correct, then it is assumed that the record of the trial balance is correct.
• 2. To help in the rectification of errors- Whenever the trial balance does not tally
management should know that there is at least one error in the accounting
process. Few errors that occur are.
• Subsidiary book total
• Recording journal entries in a ledger
• Account balance calculation
• Transferring account balance to the trial balance
• Trial balance total
• 3. To help in the formation of the financial statements- To prepare a financial
statement, the final tallied trail balance is required. Here, all expense and revenue
account registered in the trial balance is carried to the profit and loss account, and
all liabilities, assets, and capital account is carried to the balance sheet.

Preparation of Trial Balance
• There are three ways in which a trial balance can be prepared.
• 1. Total Method- In this method, the total balance of the credit and
debit is determined in an individual column and displayed in the
trial balance. Both the column’s total should be equal as it is based
on the double-entry system.
• 2. Balances Method- This method is used widely and is prepared by
determining the balance of all the ledger account and then
summing up the debit and credit total of the trial balance to ensure
accuracy.
• 3. Total-cum-balance Method- This method is the amalgamation of
both the total and balance method. In this method, four columns
for the amount is made. Two for writing credit and debit totals and
the other two for credit and debit balance of the account.

Classification of Errors
1. Errors of Commission: Errors due to the wrong posting of transactions to
the ledger, wrong totaling of accounts, wrong balancing of accounts, the
wrong casting of the day books, or wrong recording of the amount in the
journal or the day books are errors of commission. These are of clerical
nature and mostly affect the trial balance.
2. Errors of Omission: The error of omission usually occurs at the time of
recording a transaction in the journal or subsidiary books or at the time
of posting to the ledger. These are of two types, error of complete
omission and error of partial omission.
3. Compensating Errors: When the net effect of two or more errors is nil,
these are Compensating errors. These do not affect the trial balance.
4. Errors of Principle: We record the journal entry of the transactions as
per the accounting conventions and principles. The errors resulting due
to the violation of these are errors of principle. A wrong classification of
expenditure or income between capital and revenue is an error of
principle.
