Level: item Extent: 962pp Scope and Content:
Journal recording financial transactions up to the last day of each month. At the top of each page is written ‘Cork’, and the date. This is followed by entries noting the transaction nu mber, a description [eg, the company paid, and for what], and the amounts involved. Totals are noted at the bottom of each page, with columns for debits and credits. Deductions and other amendments are sometimes added in red ink. Items recurring most often include coal, railway, insurance, freight, and sundries. Note: Journals are large volumes recording all transactions. Credits and debits are noted on each page, but are totalled in separate columns. Balance sheets and other financial records may be drawn up using information from journals, although journals themselves are a simple record and amounts are often left unbalanced.
