Check Journal

The Check Journal is a list of checks that have been entered into the accounting system.  A separate Check Journal is printed for each bank account.  This report, while not required, can be printed so that you have a physical printout of check entries.  Some companies print the Check Journal at the end of each month to retain as a permanent paper record.

This report is similar to the Checkbook Register Report, but it provides additional information.  The General Ledger accounts expensed for each check are listed, and summary totals by General Ledger accounts are printed at the end of the report.
