What are the

advantages of

using special

journals?

Similar transactions are recorded into one book in order of date (e.g. credit sales of goods only into the Sales Journal and so on).

Unnecessary detail in the ledger is cut down as only totals are posted to the ledger.

Use of special journals provides an important middle step between source documents and the ledger accounts
