A subsidiary ledger provides detailed information about specific accounts that belong to a general ledger account. It breaks down the transactions and balances for individual components, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, or inventory, allowing for better tracking and management of financial data. This detailed information supports the accuracy and transparency of the overall financial statements.
A subsidiary ledger related to the accounts receivable general ledger account used by hotels to record the individual account activity of guests who are still at the hotel. The total of the balances in the city ledger plus the total of the balances in the guest ledger should equal the balance in the accounts receivable general ledger account.
The four divisions of the ledger are the general ledger, which contains all the accounts for recording transactions; the accounts payable ledger, which tracks amounts owed to suppliers; the accounts receivable ledger, which monitors amounts owed by customers; and the cash ledger, which records all cash transactions. Together, these divisions help in organizing financial data and ensuring accurate financial reporting.
Ledger posting involves transferring transaction data from journals to the general ledger, where accounts are maintained. To do this, first, ensure that all transactions are accurately recorded in the journal with relevant details. Next, classify each transaction by account type and post the amounts to the corresponding ledger accounts, updating the balances accordingly. Finally, regularly review and reconcile ledger accounts to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Another name for the General Ledger is Nominal Ledger.

There are several different accounts that are used in the general ledger. Some of these accounts include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, notes payable, accounts payable, and customer deposits.
A group of accounts.
A subsidiary ledger is a group of similar accounts whose combined balances equal the balance in a specific general ledger account. The general ledger account that summarizes a subsidiary ledger's account balances is called a control account or master account. For example, an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger (customers' subsidiary ledger) includes a separate account for each customer who makes credit purchases. The combined balance of every account in this subsidiary ledger equals the balance of accounts receivable in the general ledger. Posting a debit or credit to a subsidiary ledger account and also to a general ledger control account does not violate the rule that total debit and credit entries must balance because subsidiary ledger accounts are not part of the general ledger; they are supplemental accounts that provide the detail to support the balance in a control account.
