## CSV accounts ## CSV accounts
Each journal entry will have at least two [postings](journal.html#postings), to `account1` and some other account (usually `account2`). Each journal entry will have at least two [postings](journal.html#postings), usually to `account1` and `account2`.
It's conventional and recommended to use `account1` for the account whose CSV we are reading.
It is entirely up to you which account field to assign to the account whose CSV we are reading, however you might
consider assigning it to the last posting (`account2` in the simplest case). This way, if the CSV contrains transactions in multiple currencies,
and you don't provide posting [prices](journal.html#transaction-prices) explicitly they will be priced in the currency of the last posting.
