Posting

The term "Posting" means transferring the debit and credit items from the Journal to their respective accounts in the Ledger. It should be noted that the exact names of accounts used in the Journal should be carried to the Ledger. For example, if in the Journal Expenses Account has been debited, it would not be correct to debit the Office Expenses Account in the Ledger. Though, in the Journal, it might have been indicated clearly in the narration that it is an item of office expenses, the correct course would have been to record the amount to the Office Expenses Account in the Journal as well as in the Ledger.Posting may be done at any time. However, it should be completed before the financial statements are prepared. It is advisable to keep the more active accounts posted to date. The examples of such accounts are the cash account, personal accounts of various parties etc.

RULES REGARDING POSTING

(ii) The concerned account which has been debited in the Journal should also be debited in the Ledger. However, a reference should be made of the other account which has been credited in the Journal. For example, for salaries paid, the salaries account should be debited in the Ledger, but reference should be given of the Cash Account which has been credited in the Journal. (Hi) The concerned account, which has been credited in the Journal should also be credited is the Ledger, but reference should be given of the account, which has been debited in the Journal. For example, for salaries paid, Cash Account has been credited in the Journal. It will be credited in the Ledger also, but reference will be given of the Salaries Account in the Ledger. Thus, it may be concluded that while making posting in the Ledger, the concerned account which has been debited or credited in the Journal should also be debited or credited in the Ledger, but reference has to be given of the other account which has been credited or debited in the Journal, as the case may be.

Balancing of an Account

In business, there may be several transactions relating to one particular account. It Journal, these transactions appear on different pages in a chronological order while they appear in a classified form under that particular account in the Ledger. At the end of a period (say, a month, a quarter or a year), the businessman will be interested in knowing the positiot of a particular account. This means, he should total the debits and credits of the accounts separately and find out the net balance. This technique of finding out the net balance of af account, after considering the totals of both debits and credits appearing in the account it known as 'Balancing the Account'. The balance is put on the side of the account which is smaller and a reference is given that it has been carried forward or carried down (c/f or c/d ) the next period. On the other hand, in the next period a reference is given that the opening; balance has been brought forward or brought down (b/f or b/d) from the previous period.
