The General Ledger is a digital or physical record that documents all financial transactions of a business in an organized manner. It provides a detailed breakdown of each account the business interacts with, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of financial data when cross-referenced with other financial reports. Typically, the general ledger is maintained for a specified financial period, often a fiscal year.
Rewaa's platform automatically reflects all financial transactions in the General Ledger Report, which can be generated and updated in real-time. The report displays the total assets, liabilities, and all accounting entries organized by debit and credit balances.
