Step-by-step explanation:
Journal entries initially record transactions on a day-to-day basis. From the journal, the transactions are posted to the ledger accounts (e.g. T-accounts) and a trial balance is extracted to check if the two sides are in agreement. At the end of the accounting period, adjusting entries are recorded in the general journal to ensure that accounts are based on the accrual concept and not on cash basis.
