Document Summary

The statement of financial position accounts are updated continuously throughout the accounting period and the ending balance for the current period becomes the beginning account balance for the next period. The balances in these accounts, called permanent (real) accounts, are not reduced to zero at the end of the accounting period. Revenue, expense, gain, loss and dividend accounts are used to accumulate transaction effects for the current accounting period only; they are called temporary (nominal) accounts. The final step in the accounting cycle, is done to prepare statement of earnings accounts for the next accounting cycle. At the end of each period, the balances in the temporary accounts are transferred or closed, to the retained earnings account by recording closing entries. 1) to transfer the balances in the temporary accounts to retained earnings. 2) to establish a zero balance in each of the temporary accounts to start the accumulation in the next accounting period.
