Maria then indicates that she is aware other businesses using a manual accounting system may post transactions from journals to ledgers at different times (i.e. daily or monthly). Although the posting procedures used in her business may be different to what you have seen before, she asks that you specifically follow her company's accounting procedures.
When a transaction is recorded in a special journal, part of the journal entry may need to be posted daily and part of that entry is to be posted monthly.
