Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

A journal entry is a basic accounting record that is used to chronologically track financial activities within a company. It usually includes important information including the date, the accounts involved, the sums, and a brief summary of the transaction. Journal entries are the first stage in the double-entry accounting system, and they ensure that every transaction is precisely documented by reflecting equal and opposite changes in accounts. These entries serve as the foundation for preparing financial statements and assessing a company's financial situation and performance.
