The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance,
    Income Statement, and Balance Sheet

Introduction:
In the previous chapters, you have learned the principles of
double entry and how to post to the ledger accounts. The
next step in our progress towards the financial statements is
the trial balance.

Before transferring the relevant balances at the year end to
the profit and loss account and putting closing balances
carried forward into the balance sheet, it is usual to test the
accuracy of the double entry bookkeeping records by
preparing a trial balance. This is done by taking all the
balances on every account. Due to the nature of double entry,
the total of the debit balances will be exactly equal to the total
of the credit balances.

  You all know that:
  Assets = Capital + (Revenues – Expenses) + Liabilities

  For Assets A/C, Capital (including Drawings A/C), and
  Liabilities A/C, we have to close them as follows:

  Example (1): How do we close this account?
                            Cash A/C

              2005              $   2005
              1.1 Sales Revenue 800 8.1 A/P: Simon 600
              5.1 A/R: John   200
                                    9.1 Equipment   50
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
                   Statement, and Balance Sheet
   Example (2):              Capital A/C

                                   2005
                                   1.1     Cash    8,000


                                   9.1     Bank   10,550



   Example (3):             Drawings A/C

              2005
              18.1 Cash      150
              20.1   Bank    230
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
                 Statement, and Balance Sheet

       For all Revenues A/C, Expenses A/C, and Returns Inwards
       A/C, Returns Outwards A/C, Discount Allowed A/C,
       Discount Received A/C, Carriage Inwards A/C, and Carriage
       Outwards, we have to close them as shown below:
       Example:

               Salaries A/C        Returns Outwards A/C

2005               $                            2005
1.1     Cash       800                          20.1 A/P: Mary 100
28.1    Cash       200                          25.1 Cash:     250




 How do we close these accounts?
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet


Question: Once you have closed all the accounts, what would do?
Answer: Prepare a Trial Balance
Question: What is a Trial Balance then? What is it for? How
    does it look like?
Answer: A Trial Balance is a list of nominal ledger account and
        their balances at a given date. It is usually prepared on
        the last day of the accounting period. It consists of a
   Debit and a Credit balance.
        Its purposes:
          (1) It is prepared to check that the total of debit
   balances is the same as the total of credit balances
       and offer reassurance that the double entry
   recording from day books has been done correctly.
         (2) For preparation of Trading and Profit and Loss
      Accounts and the Balance Sheet.
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet


The rules to prepare the Trial Balance:

   Total Debit Entries = Total Credit Entries


               Debit                    Credit
           Assets                   Income/ Revenue
           Expenses                 Liabilities
           Drawings                 Capital
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet


3 Steps to preparing the Trial Balance:

3) Balance ALL the accounts in the books.

5) List all the Debit balances and add them up.

7) List all the Credit balances and add them up.
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

  What if the trial balance shows unequal debit and credit
  balances?
  If the columns of the trial balance are not equal, there must be
  an error in recording the transaction.

  Errors revealed by the trial balance:
  The errors revealed are those errors which cause the Trial
  Balance totals to disagree. (i.e do not balance)
  There are FOUR types of errors revealed by a trial balance:
  1) Posting to the wrong side of an account.
  2) Errors in calculation and balancing
  3) Incorrect amounts entered on one entry
  4) Omission of one entry.
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet



  Question: How do we locate all of the above errors?

  Answers: 1) Check day-book totals
         2) Check additions of Ledger accounts, ensure
  each balance is correct
         3) Check all balances have been recorded in the
  Trial Balance.
         4) Check all balances have been entered in the
  Trial Balance on the correct side.
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

  Question: Once you are sure there is no mistake made in the
        Trial Balance, what do you have to prepare next
    step?

  Answers: You have to prepare the following statements:
       1) Income Statement (also called Profit and Loss
              A/C)
       2) Balance Sheet

  In short, these are the steps:
  1) Trial Balance
  2) Income Statement
  3) Balance Sheet
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

 Question: What is ‘Income Statement’? ‘Balance Sheet’?
        What are the purposes of preparing these two
 statements?

 Answers:
 Income Statement shows the revenues generated during a
 period and the expenditure incurred in earning that revenue.
 The difference between then is the profit or loss for the
 period. In short, it shows the ‘financial performance’ of a
 business in a given period.

 Two different profits are shown in the Income Statement:
 1) Gross profit: The difference between sales proceeds and
             the cost of goods sold.
 2) Net profit: The gross profit less the expenses of the
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

 Answers:
 Balance Sheet is a statement of the ‘financial position’ of a
 business at a given period of time. It is called a balance sheet
 because it is a list of the balances in a company’s nominal
 ledger at a moment in time. The balances are grouped,
 totalled and presented in a logical and informative format.

 The main groupings to remember are:
 1) Fixed Assets (Non-current assets)
 2) Current assets
 3) Current Liabilities
 4) Long-term Liabilities (Non-current Liabilities)
 5) Capital
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

 Right now, it’s time for us to prepare the Income
 Statement and the Balance Sheet.

 Look at the Trial Balance given.
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

  However, a trial balance will not disclose the following types
  of errors: (Errors not revealed by the trial balance)

  1) Errors of omission
     Complete omission of a transaction, because neither a
  debit nor a credit is made.

  2) Errors of commission
         This happens when original figure incorrectly
   entered. (Correct double entries but incorrect amounts
  were recorded)
Ch 4: The Balancing of Accounts, The Trial Balance, Income
              Statement, and Balance Sheet

  3) Compensating errors
     This happens where errors cancel out each other. (eg an
     error of £100 is exactly cancelled by another £100 error
     elsewhere).

  4) Errors of principles
      This happens when the wrong type of account had been
      used (eg the purchase of a motor van is debited to a
  expense account, such as motor expenses, rather than a fixed
  asset account)

  5) Complete reversal of entries
     This happens when an account should be debited but was
     credited (and vice versa)
