General ledger is the book of final entry of all business transactions of a company. Primarily, any end balance from the said ledger of all accounts used by a particular business enterprise is the final balance that will be forwarded to the financial statements of the company. The ledger will be an accounting aid/tool in determining/tracing from which book of accounts a journal entry was recorded. It also serves as a tool for internal/external auditors to track the flow of business transactions of an entity for a given period.

When a business uses a subsidiary accounts receivable ledger there is no need to keep an accounts receivable account in the general ledger true or false?
