ledger
Debit-credit record
A ledger is a book or digital record where financial transactions are systematically recorded and organized.
In traditional bookkeeping, the ledger contains accounts showing debits and credits, serving as the authoritative record of a business's finances.
The term extends to any formal registry of important information: The blockchain functions as a distributed public ledger.
In construction, a ledger is a horizontal board attached to a wall to support joists or scaffolding.
