Question
State three advantages of Sub-Division of Journal.

Answer

Advantages of Sub-Division of Journal:
  1. Division of Work: Since in place of one Journal, Subsidiary Books are maintained, accounting work can be divided among a number of persons.
  2. Specialisation and Efficiency: When the same work is handled by a particular person for a considerable time, he acquires knowledge and expertise in it. He becomes more efficient in handling it. Thus, accounting is done more efficiently.
  3. Saving of Time: Various accounting processes can be undertaken simultaneously because of the use of number of books. Thus, it leads to completing the work timely.
  4. Availability of Information: Since a separate book is maintained for each class of transactions, information relating to each class is available at one place.
