LO 1 Basic Accounting Systems Internal controls are the policies and procedures that protect assets from misuse, ensure that business information is accurate, and ensure that laws and regulations are being followed. Processing methods are the means by which the accounting system collects, summarizes, and reports accounting information. These methods may be either manual or computerized.

LO 2 A large number of individual accounts with a common characteristic can be grouped together in a separate ledger called a subsidiary ledger. The primary ledger, which contains all of the balance sheet and income statement accounts, is called a general ledger. Subsidiary Ledgers Each subsidiary ledger is represented in the general ledger by a summarizing account, called a controlling account.

Subsidiary Ledgers LO 2 The individual customer accounts are arranged in alphabetical order in a subsidiary ledger called the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, or customers ledger. Individual creditor accounts are arranged in alphabetical order in a subsidiary ledger called the accounts payable subsidiary ledger, or creditors ledger.

Special Journal One method of processing transactions more efficiently in a manual system is to use special journals. Special journals are designed to be used for recording a single kind of transaction that occurs frequently. LO 2 The all-purpose two-column journal, called the general journal or simply the journal, can be used for entries that do not fit into any of the special journals.

Special Journals The revenue journal is used for recording fees earned on account. LO 2 Cash fees earned would be recorded in the cash receipts journal. Purchases made on account (on credit) are recorded in the purchases journal. All cash payments are recorded in the cash payments journal.
