FAQ
Why must we do adjusting entries?
Adjusting entries ensure revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred, per accrual accounting. Without them, net income and balance sheet accounts would be misstated.
Can the adjusted trial balance not balance?
If debits ≠ credits after adjustments, you made an error in journalizing or posting. Common errors: forgetting one side of an entry, wrong amounts, or misclassifying. Fix before preparing statements.
