Describe and Explain the Purpose of Special Journals and Their Importance to Stakeholders – Principles of Accounting, Volume 1: Financial Accounting
39 DESCRIBE AND EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF SPECIAL JOURNALS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE TO STAKEHOLDERS
The larger the business, the greater the likelihood that that business will have a large volume of transactions that need to be recorded in and processed by the company’s accounting information system. You’ve learned that each transaction is recorded in the general journal, which is a chronological listing of transactions. In other words, transactions are recorded into the general journal as they occur. While this is correct accounting methodology, it also can create a cumbersome general journal with which to work and may make finding specific pieces of information very challenging. For example, assume customer John Smith charged an item for $100 on June 1. In the general journal, the company would record the following.
This journal entry would be followed by a journal entry for every other transaction the company had for the remainder of the period. Suppose, on June 27, Mr. Smith asked, “How much do I owe?” To answer this question, the company would need to review all of the pages of the general journal for nearly an entire month to find all of the sales transactions relating to Mr. Smith. And if Mr. Smith said, “I thought I paid part of that two weeks ago,” the company would have to go through the general journal to find all payment entries for Mr. Smith. Imagine if there were 1,000 similar credit sales transactions for the month, each one would be written in the general journal in a similar fashion, and all other transactions, such as the paying of bills, or the buying of inventory, would also be recorded, in chronological order, in the general journal. Thus, recording all transactions to the general journal makes it difficult to find the particular tidbits of information that are needed for one of our customers, Mr. Smith. The use of special journal and subsidiary ledgers can make the accounting information system more effective and allow for certain types of information to be obtained more easily.
Using General Ledger (Control) Accounts
Here is the information from the accounts payable subsidiary ledger:
What should the total be in the Accounts Payable Control Total?
Here is the information from the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger.
What should the total be in the Accounts Receivable Control Total?
Solution
Accounts Payable Control Total is: 1,362 + 4,468 + 8,167 = 13,997
Accounts Receivable Control Total is: 2,250 + 0 + 1,500 + 8,160 = 11,910
Special Journals
Instead of having just one general journal, companies group transactions of the same kind together and record them in special journals rather than in the general journal. This makes it easier and more efficient to find a specific type of transaction and speeds up the process of posting these transactions. In each special journal, all transactions are totaled at the end of the month, and these totals are posted to the general ledger. In addition, instead of one person entering all of the transactions in all of the journals, companies often assign a given special journal’s entries to one person. The relationship between the special journals, the general journal, and the general ledger can be seen in (Figure).

Most companies have four special journals, but there can be more depending on the business needs. The four main special journals are the sales journal, purchases journal, cash disbursements journal, and cash receipts journal. These special journals were designed because some journal entries occur repeatedly. For example, selling goods for cash is always a debit to Cash and a credit to Sales recorded in the cash receipts journal. Likewise, we would record a sale of goods on credit in the sales journal, as a debit to accounts receivable and a credit to sales. Companies using a perpetual inventory system also record a second entry for a sale with a debit to cost of goods sold and a credit to inventory. You can see sample entries in (Figure).

Note there is a column to enter the date the transaction took place; a column to indicate the customer to whom the transaction pertains; an invoice number that should match the number on the invoice given (in paper or electronically) to the customer; a reference box that indicates the transaction has been posted to the customer’s account and can include something as simple as a check mark or a code that links the transaction to other journals and ledgers; and the last two columns that indicate the accounts and amounts debited and credited.
