Best Answer

When the size of business and number of transactions are large, recording of transactions in one journal will be inconvenient. It will also cause delay in collection and presentation of accounting information. Many of the transactions are repetitive in nature. If separate journals are maintained for recording transactions of a similar character, journalizing and posting will be easier and more convenient. For example, all cash transactions can be recorded in one ledger; all credit sales in another journal and so on.
