COMPARISON
Operational Ledger vs General Ledger
This comparison explains architectural roles and responsibilities; it does not imply every organization must separate systems this way.
| Dimension | Operational Ledger | General Ledger |
|---|---|---|
| Granularity | Account / contract / event level | Enterprise accounting level |
| Purpose | Operational balances, servicing and reconciliation | Official financial accounting |
| Rules | Product and event rules | Chart of Accounts and accounting rules |
| Relationship | Generates/reconciles accounting events | Receives approved postings |
Important: Final design depends on products, policy, existing systems, data ownership and operating model.
