This section of the practice is designed to allow you to compare how a basic General Journal and Ledger System operates with a system of Specialised Journals. You should be taking note of the different data entry processes and the efficiencies that can be achieved as well as any difficulties that arise with the more complex system.

You have been provided with an excel file that contains the General Journal and Ledger Accounts. The necessary accounts as well as bank accounts to be used if needed have been included. You will need to complete this task by entering the relevant information into the excel spreadsheet provided. The opening and reversing entries have been completed for you.

You will be re-entering the transaction data from Completion Point 1 as well as a number of new transactions into the “new” system using specialized journals.

Task 1

Using the excel file provided for Completion Point 2 you must enter the transactions below into the Specialised Journals and then update the Ledger accounts as required. (The transactions below include previous transactions that you have completed using only the General Journal and a number of new transactions)
