Preparing Closing Entries
Closing entries formally recognize in the ledger the
transfer of:
• Net income (or net loss) to owner’s capital
• Owner’s drawings to owner’s capital
Produce a zero balance in each temporary account.
Companies generally journalize and post closing entries
only at end of the annual accounting period.

Correcting Entries—An Avoidable Step
• Unnecessary if accounting records are free of errors
• Made whenever an error is discovered
• Must be posted before closing entries
Instead of preparing a correcting entry, it is possible
to reverse the incorrect entry and then prepare the
correct entry.

Case 1: On May 10, Mercato Co. journalized and posted a NT$500 cash
collection on account from a customer as a debit to Cash NT$500 and a
credit to Service Revenue NT$500. The company discovered the error on
May 20, when the customer paid the remaining balance in full.

Appendix 4A Reversing Entries
It is often helpful to reverse some adjusting entries
before recording regular transactions of the next
period
Companies make a reversing entry at beginning of
next accounting period
Each reversing entry is exact opposite of adjusting
entry made in previous period
Use of reversing entries does not change amounts
reported in the financial statements
Reversing Entries Example
We use the salaries expense transactions for Yazici Advertising as
illustrated in Chapters 2, 3, and 4.
1. October 26 (initial salary entry): Yazici pays ₺4,000 of salaries
and wages earned between October 15 and October 26.
2. October 31 (adjusting entry): Salaries and wages earned
between October 29 and October 31 are ₺1,200. The company
will pay these in the November 9 payroll.
3. November 9 (subsequent salary entry): Salaries and wages paid
are ₺4,000. Of this amount, ₺1,200 applied to accrued salaries
and wages payable and ₺2,800 was earned between November
1 and November 9.

A Look at U.S. GAAP
Key Points
Similarities
The procedures of the closing process are applicable to all companies,
whether they are using IFRS or GAAP.
IFRS generally requires a classified statement of financial position
similar to the classified balance sheet under GAAP.
IFRS follows the same guidelines as GAAP for distinguishing between
current and non-current assets and liabilities.

A Look at U.S. GAAP
Key Points
Differences
IFRS officially uses the term statement of financial position in its
literature, while in the United States it is often referred to as the
balance sheet.
IFRS requires that specific items be reported on the statement of
financial position, whereas no such general standard exists in GAAP.
While IFRS companies often report non-current assets before current
assets in their statements of financial position, this is never seen
under GAAP.

A Look at U.S. GAAP
Key Points
Differences
Under IFRS, current assets are usually listed in the reverse order of
liquidity. For example, under GAAP cash is listed first, but under IFRS
it is listed last.
GAAP has many differences in terminology from what are shown in
your textbook.
Both GAAP and IFRS are increasing the use of fair value to report assets.
However, at this point IFRS has adopted it more broadly. As
examples, under IFRS, companies can apply fair value to property,
plant, and equipment, and in some cases intangible assets.

A Look at U.S. GAAP
Looking to the Future
The IASB and the FASB are working on a project related to financial
statement presentation. A key feature of the proposed framework is that
each of the statements will be organized in the same format, to separate
an entity’s financing activities from its operating and investing activities
and, further, to separate financing activities into transactions with owners
and creditors. Thus, the same classifications used in the statement of
financial position would also be used in the income statement and the
statement of cash flows.
