How is an account
balance changed?
By journalizing a transaction and
posting the entry to the account.
– Remember, when we prepared a work
sheet, we only planned the adjusting
entries.
– No account balances were actually
changed when making the work sheet.

Why are adjustments journalized?
The accounts are not up to date until the
entries on the work sheet are journalized
and posted to the ledger accounts.
Where is the information obtained from to
journalize the adjusting entries?
The work sheet adjustments column.
Remember—just copy them from the
work sheet

8-2 Recording Closing Entries
Permanent Accounts: accounts used to
accumulate information from one fiscal period to
the next.
Examples: Asset and Liability Accounts and the Owner’s
Capital Account
Temporary Accounts: accounts used to
accumulate information until it is transferred to the
owner’s capital account.
Examples: Examples include: Revenue, expense,
owner’s drawing, and the income summary account.
Closing Entries: journal entries used to prepare
temporary accounts for a new fiscal period.
Closing Entries, Continued
To close a temporary account, an amount
equal to its balance is recorded in the
account on the side opposite its balance.
Example: Sales has a credit balance of
$4,000
A debit of $4,000 is recorded to close the
Sales account.
– Once the entry is posted, the Sales account
balance = 0

Income Summary Account-Continued
Remember: debits must equal credits
If an account is debited for $4,000 to close it,
some other account must be credited for the same
amount.
Income Summary is a temporary account used to
summarize the closing entries for the revenue and
expense accounts.

Remember...
Purpose of closing entries is to
bring the balance of temporary
accounts to zero.
Debits must equal credits—So
the Income Summary account
is the other account used in the
closing entry for revenues and
expenses.

8-3 Preparing a Post-Closing Trial Balance
Post-Closing Trial Balance: a trial balance
prepared after the closing entries are posted.
(The last step in the cycle)
Accounting Cycle: the series of accounting
activities included in recording financial
information for a fiscal period.
Why do this report?
After the closing entries are recorded
and posted, the business is almost
ready to start recording transactions for
the new accounting period.
Before this is done, it is important to
check if debits still equal credits.
