What is It

You are now in the sixth to tenth steps of accounting cycle. The five steps to make
the accounting cycle complete are: Preparing adjusted trial balance, preparing
financial statements, preparing closing entries, preparing post-closing trial balance
and Preparing reversing journal entries.

Let’s discuss and illustrate an example for each step.

Step 6: Preparing Adjusted Trial Balance

What is an adjusted trial balance? An adjusted trial balance is a listing of
accounts after adding or subtracting the adjustments made for the period.

Before adjusted trial balance is made, the adjustments made for the period must be
recorded in the adjustment column of the worksheet.

To illustrate, assume the following information:

ABM ACCOUNTING FIRM

Trial Balance
December 31, 2020
Adjusting entries made during the period:
Account Title Debit Credit
Cash P259,000 a. Supplies Expense 5,500
Accounts Receivables 90,000 Supplies 5,500
Supplies 8,000
Equipment 55,000 b. Prepaid Rent 10,000
Accounts Payable P 65,000 Rent Expense 10,000
Ms. Co, Capital 300,000
Ms. Co, Drawings 10,000
Professional Fees c. Depreciation Expense 3,750
118,000 Accumulated Depreciation-
Rent Expense 40,000 Equipment 3,750
Salaries Expense 16,000
Taxes and Licenses 2,000
We will transfer this information to a worksheet. A worksheet is a tool used to
show the movements of accounts after adjustments and the position of each
accounts in the financial statements.

How to transfer the above information to the worksheet? Here’s how:

1. Transfer the accounts of the Trial Balance and enter their balances to the first
two columns of the Work Sheet.
2. Post the adjusting entries to the third and fourth column or the Adjustments
column.
3. Prepare the adjusted trial balance by forwarding the balances of each account on
the fifth and sixth column or Adjusted trial balance column. Add the amount of
each account under trial balance column and the amount under adjustment
column if they are both debit or both credits, and enter their sum under adjusted
trial balance. Subtract the two if they are not the same debit or the same credit and
enter their difference under the adjusted trial balance column on the side of the
greater value .

Step 7: Preparing the Financial Statements

Now let’s go to the next step, preparing the financial statements. What are financial
statements? What are the different types of financial statements?

Financial statements are statement that shows the information about the assets,
liabilities, capital, revenue and expenses of the business. These statements may
help the users to make economic decision.

The following are the five financial statements:

1. Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet
2. Statement of Comprehensive Income or Income Statement
3. Statement of Changes in Equity
4. Statement of Cash Flows
5. Notes to financial statements

In this module, we will just prepare the first three statements.

A statement of comprehensive income or income statement is a statement

shows the company’s revenues and expenses for the period.

We can illustrate the income statement directly from the adjusted trial balance and
the income statement itself. The income statement directly from the adjusted trial
balance is done by transferring the amount of revenues and expenses to seventh
and eighth column of the worksheet.

Taxes & Licenses Expense 2,000 (60,250)
Net Income P 57,750

The Statement of Changes in Equity is a reconciliation of the beginning and

ending balances in a company’s equity during the accounting period. The net
income and the additional capital should be added to the initial capital while
withdrawals and net loss are deducted get the ending capital.

The Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet is a statement that shows

the balances of the assets, liabilities and owner’s equity accounts. We can also
illustrate the balance sheet using the work sheet.

There are two types of balance sheet, the account form and report form.

Step 8: Preparing Closing Entries

A closing entry are journal entries where nominal accounts (revenues and
expenses) and drawing account are closed and transferred their amount in Income
Summary account and closed Income Summary to Capital account.

The following are the four steps in preparing closing entries: (Refer to the adjusted
trial balance)

Note: To compute for the Income Summary balance, just get the difference between
P118,000 and P40,250 and you will get credit Income Summary for 77,750(Since
credit amount is greater than debit amount). To close it, you need to debit Income
Summary and credit Ms. Co, Capital.

4. Close the Drawing account and credit the capital account.

GENERAL JOURNAL Page: 35
Particulars
Date (Account Titles and Explanation) PR Debit Credit
Dec 31 Ms. Co, Capital 10,000

Step 9: Preparing Post-Closing Trial Balance

A post-closing trial balance is the listing of real accounts after preparing closing
entries.
Post-closing trial balance is prepared by transferring the balances of assets,
liabilities and capital to the trial balance.

Step 10: Prepare Reversing Journal Entries

A reversing journal entry are journal entries that are opposite of the adjusting
entries made for prepayment under the expense method, precollections under the
revenue method, accrued expenses and accrued income. They are made at the
beginning of the next accounting period.

To illustrate, let’s go back to the adjusting entries of ABM ACCOUNTING FIRM and
we will find out which of the adjusting entries need to prepare reversing entry.

Adjusting entries made during the

period:

a. Supplies Expense 5,500 Among the adjusting entries of ABM

Supplies 5,500 ACCOUNTING FIRM, only the letter
needs to reverse because the company
b. Prepaid Rent 10,000 used expense method in prepayments.
Rent Expense 10,000
Reversing Entry:

c. Depreciation Expense 3,750 Rent Expense 10,000

Accumulated Depreciation- Prepaid Rent 10,000
Equipment 3,750

As a summary, whole accounting cycle has the following steps:

1. Analyzing business transaction

2. Recording business transactions to the journal
3. Posting the journal entries to the ledger
4. Preparing the trial balance
5. Journalizing and posting the adjusting entries
6. Preparing the adjusted trial balance
7. Preparing the financial statements
