General ledger (GL) is a record of a company's financial transactions, including debits and credits. It's a key tool for managing a company's finances, and is used to generate financial reports and statements, and comply with tax laws. An inappropriate general ledger can have severe repercussions on a company's financial health and operations. If transactions are not accurately recorded or categorized, it can lead to incorrect financial statements, mismanagement of funds, and potentially illegal activities such as fraud or embezzlement. Inaccurate general ledger entries can also result in unreliable financial information being presented to investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, damaging the company's reputation and credibility. This can lead to decreased investor confidence, loss of business opportunities, litigation, fines, and even bankruptcy. It is crucial for companies to maintain an accurate and up-to-date general ledger to ensure compliance with accounting standards, transparency in financial reporting, and overall business success. #GL #finance #accounting #corporate #detroit #michigan #business #risk #audit #IC
