Answer 2

♦ Answer:

Accounting can be a tiresome process. A company has thousands of financial transactions in a year and journalizing them all can get quite bothersome. So some companies choose to prepare subsidiary books, in which we record transactions of a similar nature in chronological order. Let us learn about them.

♦ Explanation:

Subsidiary books are books of original entry. In the normal course of business, a majority of transactions are either relate to sales, purchases or cash. So we record transactions of the same or similar nature in one place, i.e. the subsidiary book. And we record these transactions in chronological order.

This actually saves a lot of man-hours and tiresome clerical work. Instead of journalizing each entry, they are recorded into various subsidiary books. Think of your subsidiary book as sub-journals that record only one type of transaction.

There is no separate entry for these transactions in the general ledger. The posting to the Ledger Accounts is done from the subsidiary book itself. This method of recording is known as the Practical System of Accounting or sometimes the English System.

One thing to remember is that such a system does not violate the rules of Double Entry System. We have still recorded the transactions according to this system. All transactions are still affecting two accounts. Only instead of a journal, we are using subsidiary books as the books of original entry.
