Document Summary

Introduction: cash accounting eyes vs. accrual accounting eyes. Focuses on steps 5 & 6 of the accounting cycle. Step 5 = journalize and post adjusting entries: deferrals/accruals. Step 6 = prepare an adjusted trial balance. Adjusting entries are made at the end of the period, after all transactions have been accounted for, to account for changes in assets and liabilities that are not due to a transaction. Explain the reasons for adjusting entries and identify the major types of adjusting entries. Describe the nature and purpose of an adjusted trial balance. In accrual accounting, adjusting entries is an important tool that allows for a more accurate measurement of wealth. Cash accounting, we are only interested in the amount of cash that a company has. Measuring wealth when you earn it, as opposed to when you collect it, gives you a better measure of the economic performance for that period (idea behind accrual accounting)
