The reasons for using the journal are:
To provide basic or primary accounting record for non-regular transactions,
To keep track of the non-regular transactions,
To reduce the risk of fraud by ensuring that only authorized transactions,
To reduce the risk of errors while posting non-regular transactions,
To record very rare entries etc.
Keep in mind (KIM)
There is disagreement in journal proper. Some scholars adjust following entries: accrued income, credit purchase, drawings, interest on capital, loss of goods by fire or theft outstanding expenses, provision, reserve, sales of fixed assets |
