The first of which is to calculate the closing stock of the period, to prepare the. Trading, profit & loss account, bank reconciliation, etc. On the bases of the accruals concept, revenues should be matched with their relevant cost as per the corresponding period. As such, any stock that remains unsold at the end of the accounting period isn"t included as a part of the cost of sales for that period.
