A work sheet is a multiple-column form that may be used in the adjustment process and in preparing financial statements.
It is a working tool or a supplementary device for the accountant and not a permanent accounting record.
Use of a work sheet should make the preparation of adjusting entries and financial statements easier.

POST-CLOSING TRIAL BALANCEPOST-CLOSING TRIAL BALANCE

STEPS IN THE ACCOUNTING CYCLESTEPS IN THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE
A reversing entry is made at the beginning of the next accounting period.
A reversing entry reverses certain adjusting entries made in the previous period. Opening balances can then be ignored when preparing year-end adjusting entries.
This topic is illustrated in Appendix 4A.

CORRECTING ENTRIESCORRECTING ENTRIES
Errors that occur in recording transactions should be corrected as soon as they are discovered by preparing correcting entries.
Correcting entries are unnecessary if the records are free of errors; they can be journalized and posted whenever an error is discovered.
They involve any combination of balance sheet and income statement accounts.

CLASSIFICATIONSCLASSIFICATIONS
Assets Liabilities and Equity
Financial statements become more useful when the elements are classified into significant subgroups.
A classified balance sheet generally has the following standard classifications:
Current Assets Current Liabilities
Long-Term Investments Long-Term Liabilities Capital Assets Owner’s/ Partners’/ Shareholders’ Equity
Current assets are cash and other resources that are reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed in the business within one year of the balance sheet date or the company’s operating cycle, whichever is longer.
Listed in the order of liquidity. Examples of current assets are cash,
temporary investments, accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaids.
CURRENT ASSETSCURRENT ASSETS
100XYZ shares
LONG-TERM LONG-TERM INVESTMENTSINVESTMENTS
Long-term investments are resources that can be realized in cash, but the conversion into cash is not expected within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.
Examples include investments in shares or bonds of another company or investment in land held for resale.
CAPITAL ASSETSCAPITAL ASSETS Tangible resources of a relatively permanent nature
that are used in the business and not intended for sale are classified as (1) property, plant, and equipment and (2) natural resources.(1) Examples of property, plant, and equipment include land,
buildings, and machinery.(2) Examples of natural resources include tracts of timber, oil
and gas reserves, and mineral deposits.
Intangible assets are noncurrent resources that do not have physical substance.
Examples include patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade names that give the holder exclusive right of use for a specified period of time.
CAPITAL ASSETSCAPITAL ASSETS
Current liabilities are obligations that are reasonably expected to be paid from existing current assets or through the creation of other current liabilities within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.
Examples include accounts payable, unearned revenue, interest payable, and current maturities of long-term debt.
CURRENT LIABILITIESCURRENT LIABILITIES
Obligations expected to be paid after one year are classified as long-term liabilities.
Examples include long-term notes payable, bonds payable, mortgages payable, and lease liabilities.
LONG-TERM LIABILITIESLONG-TERM LIABILITIES
The content of the equity section varies with the form of business organization.
In a proprietorship, there is a single owner’s equity account called (Owner’s Name), Capital.
In a partnership, there are separate capital accounts for each partner.
For a corporation, owners’ equity is called shareholders’ equity, and it consists of two accounts: Share Capital and Retained Earnings.

A classified balance sheet helps the financial statement user determine:• The availability of assets to meet debts as they come due, and •The claims of short- and long-term creditors on total assets.
The balance sheet is most often presented in the report form, with the assets shown above the liabilities and owner’s equity.
LIQUIDITYLIQUIDITY
Liquidity measures ability to pay short-term obligations when they come due.
Working capital is one important measure of liquidity.
WORKING CAPITAL = CURRENT ASSETS - CURRENT LIABILITIES
CURRENT RATIOCURRENT RATIOThe current ratio (working capital ratio) is a widely used measure for evaluating a company’s liquidity and short-term debt-paying ability. It is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities and is a more dependable indicator of liquidity than working capital.
