The importance to Journal Entries: Journal entries contain at minimum two accounts, which means that at least two accounts experience changes of balances. If balances of accounts change, so too do the overall financials of the company. Once every transaction has been recorded in the journal, the entries are then recorded in the case of transferring to the general ledger. The general ledger contains the list of all transactions in the company which are recorded by the particular account. The general ledger can also be called the book of final entries.
