Chapter Four Exercise #3 List all major steps in completing an accounting cycle.
Solution
The major steps in completing an accounting cycle include:
1. Identify and Analyze Transactions – Review source documents (invoices, receipts, bank
statements) to determine financial events.
2. Record Transactions in the Journal – Enter transactions in the general journal using
double-entry accounting.
3. Post to the Ledger – Transfer journal entries to the general ledger, categorizing accounts
properly.
4. Prepare an Unadjusted Trial Balance – Summarize all ledger balances to check for
mathematical accuracy.
5. Adjust Entries – Make necessary adjustments for accrued expenses, prepaid items,
depreciation, and other adjustments.
6. Prepare an Adjusted Trial Balance – Ensure debits and credits still match after
adjustments.
7. Prepare Financial Statements – Use the adjusted trial balance to create the Income
Statement, Owner’s Equity Statement, and Balance Sheet.
8. Record and Post Closing Entries – Close temporary accounts (revenues, expenses,
drawings) to prepare for the next period.
9. Prepare a Post-Closing Trial Balance – Verify that only permanent accounts remain and
that debits still equal credits.
10. Reverse Entries (Optional) – Reverse certain adjusting entries at the beginning of the
next accounting period for efficiency.
