It is multi-column document which provides an efficient way to summarize the data for
financial statements preparation.
• It aids in the transfer of data from the unadjusted trial balance to the financial
statement.
• It reveals errors.
• It is a summary device that ease the work of the accountant in the preparation of
the financial statements.
1. Enter the account and balances in the unadjusted trial balance columns and
total the amounts.
a. The account numbers, titles and balances are lifted from the general
ledger to the unadjusted trial balance.
b. The accounts are listed in the worksheet in the order in the general
ledger.
2. Enter the adjusting entries in the adjustments columns and total the amounts.
Debits in the adjusted trial balance remain as debits in the statement columns,
while credits as credits. Each account’s adjusted balance should appear in
only one statement column. At this stage, the initial totals of the income
statement and balance sheet columns are not equal.
5. Compute for profit or loss as the difference between total revenues and total
expenses in the income statement. Enter profit or loss as a balancing amount
in the income statement, and in the balance sheet, and compute the final
column totals.
Profit or loss is equal to the difference between the debit and credit columns
of the income statement.
The profit or loss should always be the amount by which the debit and credit
columns for income statement, and the debit and credit columns for the
balance sheet differ. The profit figure is entered in debit column of the
income statement and credit column of the balance sheet. After completion,
total debits and total credits in the income statement and balance sheet
columns must equal.
The profit figure is extended to the credit column of the balance sheet
because profit increases owner’s equity and increases in owner’s equity are
recorded as credits. Profit must be added and withdrawals subtracted to
arrive at the ending capital balance; this is done when the statement of
changes in equity is prepared.
In a nutshell,
• Statement of Financial Position (or Balance Sheet) lists all the assets,
liabilities and equity of an entity as at a specific date.
• Statement of Cash Flows reports the amount cash received and disbursed
during the period.
An entity can present all items of income and expenses recognized in a period:
The 2018 Conceptual Framework does not specify whether the statement(s) of
financial performance comprise(s) a single statement or two statements.
The income statement for Weddings “R” Us is prepared directly from the income
statement columns of the worksheet in Exhibit 5-4.

Statement of Changes in Equity
For the Month Ended May 31, 2019
The statement of financial position is a statement that shows the financial position
or condition of an entity by listing the assets, liabilities and owner’s equity as at a
specific date. The information needed for the balance sheet items are the net
balances at the end of the period, rather than the total for the period as in the
income statement. This statement is also called the balance sheet.
Format
• Report format simply lists the assets, followed by the liabilities then
by the owner’s equity in vertical sequence.
• Account format lists the assets on the left and the liabilities and
owner’s equity on the right.
The revised PAS No. 1 does not prescribe the order or format in which an entity
presents items in the statement of financial position; what is required is the
current and non-current distinction for assets and liabilities. Assets can be
presented current then non-current or vice versa. Liabilities and equity can be
presented current then non-current liabilities then equity, or vice-versa.
a
It is proper to present a classified balance sheet: that is, the assets and liabilities
are separated into various categories. Assets are sub-classified as current assets
and non-current assets; while liabilities as current liabilities and non-current
liabilities. At this point, it is advisable to review the definitions of the foregoing
(refer to Module 2). Classifying a balance sheet aids in the analysis of financial
statements data.
It can be observed in Exhibit 5-7 below that the total assets of P546,700 in the
balance sheet does not tally with the total debits of P565,700 in the balance sheet
columns of the worksheet in Exhibit 5-4. Likewise, the total liabilities and owner’s
equity do not equal to the total credits in the same exhibit. The reason for these
differences is that accumulated depreciation and withdrawals are subtracted from
their related accounts in the balance sheet but added in their respective columns
in the worksheet. The classified balance sheet of Weddings “R” Us in report
format is:
The statement of cash flows provides information about the cash receipts and
cash payments of an entity during a period. It is a formal statement that
classifies cash receipts (inflows) and cash payments (outflows) into operating,
investing and financing activities. This statement shows the net increase or
decrease in cash during the period and the cash balance at the end of the period;
it also helps project the future net cash flows of the entity. Statement of Changes
in Equity will be discussed in higher accounting.
The financial statements are based on the same underlying data and are
fundamentally related. The following shows the basic interrelationships among financial
statements:
A temporary account is said to be closed when an entry is made such that its
balance becomes zero. Closing simply transfers the balance of one account to another
account.
In this case, the balances of the temporary accounts are transferred to the capital
account. A summary account, Income Summary is used to close the income and
expense accounts. The steps in closing the accounts of an entity will be illustrated using
the Weddings “R” Us case.
Income accounts have credit balances before the closing entries are posted.
For this reason, an entry debiting each revenue account in the amount of its
balance is needed to close the account. The credit is made to the income
summary account. The entry to close the income accounts for the Weddings
“R” Us is as follows:
The dual effect of the entry is to make the balances of the income accounts
equal to zero, and to transfer the balances in total to the credit side of the
income summary account. Note that the data for closing the income accounts
can be found in the credit side of the income statement columns of the
worksheet in Exhibit 5-4.
Expense accounts have debit balances before the closing entries are posted.
For this reason, a compound entry is needed crediting each expense account
for its balance and debiting the income summary for the total. These data can
be found in the debit side of the income statement columns of the worksheet.
After posting the closing entries involving income and expense accounts, the
balance of the income summary account will be equal to the profit or loss for
the period. A profit is indicated by a credit balance and a loss by the debit
balance. The income summary account, regardless of the nature of its
balance, must be closed to the capital account. For Weddings “R” Us, the
entry is as follows:
The effect of posting this closing entry is to close the income summary
account balance and to transfer the balance to Perez-Manalo’s capital account for the
profit.
The withdrawal account shows the amount by which capital is reduced during
the period by withdrawals of cash or other assets of the business by the
owner for personal use.
For this reason, the debit balance of the withdrawal account must be closed to
the capital account as follows:
The effect of posting this closing entry is to close the withdrawal account and
to transfer the balance to the balance to the capital account.
• The post-closing trial balance verifies that all the debits equal the credits in
the trial balance.
• The trial balance contains only balance sheet items such as assets,
liabilities, and ending capital because all income and expense accounts ,
as well as withdrawal account, have zero balances.
Notice that only the balance sheet accounts have balances because at this point,
all the income statement accounts have been closed.
Preparing the post-closing trial balance may not be the last step in the accounting
cycle. Some entities elect to reverse certain end-of-period adjustments on the first
day of the new period. A reversing entry is a journal entry which is the exact
opposite of a related adjusting entry made at the end of the period. It is basically
a bookkeeping technique made to simplify the recording of regular transactions in
the next accounting period.
It should be emphasized that reversing entries are optional. Also, the act of
reversing a previously recorded adjusting entry should not lead us to the
conclusion that the entries reversed are unnecessary or inaccurate.
Even when an entity follows the policy of making reversing entries, not all
adjusting entries should be reversed. Generally, a reversing entry should be
made for any adjusting entry that increased an asset or a liability account.
Therefore, all accruals are reversed but only deferrals initially recorded in income
statement, income or expenses accounts are reversed.
After analyzing the rest of the adjusting entries, the adjustments that can be
reversed are as follows: prepaid expenses (expense method), unearned revenues
(income method), accrued expenses and accrued expenses.
When the employees are paid on the next regular payday, the entry would be:
Note that when the payment is made, without a prior reversing entry, the
accountant Must look into the records to find out how much of the P7,200 applies to the
current accounting period and how much was accrued at the beginning of the period.
This step may appear easy in this simple case, but think of the problems that may
arise If the company has many employees, especially if some of them are paid on
different time schedules such as weekly or monthly. A reversing entry is an accounting
procedure that helps to solve this difficult problem. As noted above, a reversing entry is
exactly what its name implies. It is a reversal of the adjusting entry made. For example,
observe the following sequence of transactions and their effects on the ledger account,
salaries expense:
1. Adjusting Entry
2. Closing Entry
4. Payment Entry
Making the payment entry was simplified by the reversing entry. Reversing
entries apply to all accrued expenses or revenues.
