Advantages of Journal1. Chronological Record :
Journal is a chronological record in the sense that it records the transactions in the order in which they occur
2. Explanation of Transaction :Each journal entry in the journal carries narration which gives a brief explanation of the transaction
3. Recording of both aspects :Since both the aspects (i.e. debit & credit of a transaction are recorded, the possibility of committing error is reduced and detection of errors if any becomes easier.
Limitations of Journal1. Repetative in nature and therefore requires
more time to record– e.g. for every sales transaction one has to write down the sales account and the narration
2. Does not provide information on prompt basis
3. The journal becomes bulky and voluminous
