Explanation:

Journal entries are used to record transactions that occur on a daily basis.  They are usually the first set of records made in the accounting books.  They show the accounts to be debited and the accounts to be credited.  Each transaction is usually debited in one account and credited in another to reflect the double entry system of accounting and to keep the accounting equation in balance.
