Explain the steps in preparing a worksheet.
Discuss the purpose of closing entries.
After the financial statements are complete, the company will
"close the books" by preparing closing entries for the
"temporary" accounts. Closing entries are entered in the general
journal first, and then posted to the individual accounts in the general
ledger. A third trial balance (the post-closing trial balance) is prepared to
be certain debits and credits are still equal after the temporary accounts are
closed out to zero.
The post-closing trial balance contains only
permanent balance sheet accounts.
