Document Summary

Revenues for services performed but not yet received in cash or recorded. Adjusting entries relate inn revenue recorded before cash receipt. For accrued revenues: an adjusting entry 1. shows the receivable exists and 2. records the revenues for services performed. Accrued expenses expenses incurred but not yet paid in cash or recorded. For accrued expenses an adjusting entry 1. records the obligations and 2. recognizes the expenses. When you get interest rates, they are always sated in annual terms. If we don"t make these adjustments the records are incorrect. Temporary accounts need to be zeroed out when closing the books. Wet lose revenues and expenses to income summer in order to close them into retained earnings. The purpose of the post-closing trial balance is to prove the equality of the permanent account balances that the company carries forward into the next accounting period. All temporary accounts will have zero balances. Cash is the most important asset on the balance sheet.
