Explanation:
Journal entries are usually recorded to adjust revenue and expenses to the accrual basis of accounting and to match expenses to the period's revenue and vice versa. Short narrations are provided after recording each transaction. The purpose is to provide some descriptions of the transaction so that it can be understood by another person reviewing the records.
