  2. The Journal • All business transactions are first recorded in a journal. The journal is a chronological record of the business’s business transactions. • The process of recording transactions in a journal (making journal entries) is called journalizing.

  3. The Journal • Page 110 of your text shows you a sample general journal. • Notice: • how the date is set up • how the debit is listed first and is flush with the left-hand margin • how the credit it listed second and is indented several spaces • the explanation following the entry - don’t leave anything up to your memory • how we skip a space between journal entries: this lends itself to readability • the reference column. We will refer to this later.
