What is G/L account?
G/L stands for General Ledger. General Ledger is a collection of accounting records that a company maintains for keeping track of financial transactions. G/L is organized using accounts. Accounts are necessary to classify financial transactions according to various criteria. For example, a company can have accounts for different assets, revenue, and expenses. The number and types of accounts that exist in G/L are defined by Charts of Accounts (CoA). Charts of Accounts are usually country-specific, so each country has its own structure of accounts in G/L defined by legal requirements.
A general ledger is a complete record of financial transactions over the life of a company.
