Trial Balance & Adjusting Entries
by Skillsoft
A typical accounting cycle begins with the analysis of business transactions and ends with a post-closing trial balance. Trial balances are prepared at several times in an accounting cycle. A trial balance lists all of the ledger accounts and checks if debit and credit totals for all accounts match. Trial balances provide an opportunity to correct any calculation, recording, or posting errors in the account books. Adjusting entries are then made to record accrued or deferred amounts followed by another trial balance to check equality of debits and credits. Financial statements are also prepared at this stage in the cycle. Finally, all temporary accounts are closed and a post-closing trial balance is prepared. This course teaches you how to prepare a trial balance, make adjusting entries, and close the temporary account books at the end of an accounting period.

The Accounting Cycle and Accrual Accounting
by Skillsoft
Accounting involves recording, summarizing, and presenting financial transactions. You need to analyze transactions before recording them in daily journals. Organizations use a variety of accounts, called general ledgers collectively, to record transactions in a number of business areas. A chart of accounts lists all these accounts in the general ledger.

As in most other things, timing is of prime importance in accounting, specifically in recording transactions. Most organizations record revenue or expense transactions when they actually take place – known as accrual accounting. Others do it when money actually changes hands – known as cash accounting.
