When a business uses a subsidiary accounts receivable ledger there is no need to keep an accounts receivable account in the general ledger true or false?

False. Even when a business uses a subsidiary accounts receivable ledger, it still needs to maintain an accounts receivable account in the general ledger. The subsidiary ledger details individual customer transactions, while the general ledger provides a summary of total accounts receivable for financial reporting and reconciliation purposes. Both are necessary for accurate financial management.
