Step 1

Introduction:-

A journal entry is the act of recording or keeping track of any financial or non-financial action. An accounting journal keeps track of transactions and shows the debit and credit balances of a business. Every journal entry must be either a debit or a credit. Otherwise, the journal entry is considered to be imbalanced if the total of the debits does not match the total of the credits. Depreciation and bond amortization are two recurring elements that can be reported in journal entries. Accounts payable has its own subledger with an indirect impact on the main ledger, therefore journal entries are frequently filed in a separate module.
