as we know we write narration along with each journal entry but no accounting standard or policy makes it mandatory. What your view on this matter. is it practically necessary to write narration?

Quick Summary
While accounting standards don't mandate journal entry narrations, many believe they are practically necessary. Narrations aid in quickly identifying transactions, understanding the purpose of entries for others and auditors, and preventing confusion with similar entries over time. Although not legally required, they are considered essential for clear record-keeping.

Not mandatory but necessary to identify the transaction.Same amount transaction confuse over a period of time and one can not remember all transactions .
