Double Entry:
You've probably heard the saying, "Money doesn't grow on
trees." It means that money must come from somewhere---it
doesn't just "appear." Double-entry accounting is a method
of record-keeping that lets you track just where your money
comes from and where it goes.

Using double-entry means that money is never gained nor
lost---it is always transferred from somewhere (a source
account) to somewhere else (a destination account). In
GnuCash, this transfer is known as a transaction, and each
transaction requires at least two accounts.
