Detailed explanation-3: -An accounting entry is a formal record that documents a transaction. In most cases, an accounting entry is made using the double entry bookkeeping system, which requires one to make both a debit and credit entry, and which eventually leads to the creation of a complete set of financial statements.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are generally six types of journal entries namely, opening entries, transfer entries, closing entries, compound entries, adjusting entries, reversing entries, and each represent a specific purpose for which such entries are made.
