ledger
의미: A book or digital record in which financial transactions are systematically recorded, forming the principal record of a business's accounts.
The ledger is the backbone of double-entry bookkeeping, where every transaction is recorded as both a debit and a credit. In traditional accounting, the general ledger contains all accounts — assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses. With the rise of blockchain technology, 'distributed ledger' has entered mainstream usage, referring to a decentralised database shared across multiple sites or institutions. Common collocations include 'general ledger,' 'nominal ledger,' and 'distributed ledger technology.'
