Subsidiary Ledger

A subsidiary ledger is a detailed account book used by businesses to record transactions for a specific category or subcategory, providing a more in-depth breakdown of financial information beyond what is available in a general ledger.

Sample Sentences:

1. The company maintains a subsidiary ledger to track its accounts receivable from various clients.
2. The subsidiary ledger for inventory provides a detailed analysis of the movement and valuation of all stock items.
3. Tracking fixed assets in a subsidiary ledger helps in managing their depreciation and maintenance schedules.
