1. You have been employed by Wilson Building Depot as an accounting clerk. Your main duty is to record journal entries daily and post to the general ledger. Your procedure in posting is to post the entries by account order. For example, you first go through all of your journal entries and post all Bank entries. You then proceed to the second account, and so on. Explain the advantage and disadvantage of this method.
