The accounting process identifies business transactions and events, analyzes and records their effects, and summarizes and presents information in reports and financial statements. These reports and statements are used for making investing, lending, and other business decisions. The steps in the accounting process that focus on analyzing and recording transactions and events are shown on this slide.
We begin the accounting process by analyzing source documents. For example, you usually receive a receipt when you pay cash for something. Think about the last time you went to a fast food restaurant. When you received your order, you were given a receipt, a source document. If you wanted a company to reimburse you for the meal because you were traveling on company business, you must present evidence of your expenditure. This evidence takes the form of a source document, the receipt.
Once we identify a business transaction, we record it in a journal. A journal is arranged in chronological order. Transactions are recorded by date of occurrence. At the end of the accounting period, usually a month, transactions in the journal are posted to a ledger account. Posting is the systematic process of transferring information from the journal to the ledger. The ledger groups transactions by the accounts impacted. For example, we will have a ledger account for cash. All transactions that result in increases or decreases in the cash account will be posted to the cash ledger account.
Once all transactions have been posted, we prepare a trial balance. The purpose of the trial balance is to make sure that all information has been transferred properly. The trial balance is a listing of all account balances.

If an account has a zero balance, list it with a zero in the normal balance column (or omit it entirely).Compute the total of debit balances and the total of credit balances.Verify (prove) total debit balances equal total credit balances.P 238After processing its remaining transactions for December, FastForward’s Trial Balance is prepared.The trial balance lists all account balances in the general ledger. If the books are in balance, the total debits will equal the total credits.P 239Searching for and Correcting ErrorsIf the trial balance does not balance, the error(s) must be found and corrected. Make sure the trial balance columns are correctly added. Make sure account balances are correctly entered from the ledger. See if debit or credit accounts are mistakenly placed on the trial balance. Re-compute each account balance in the ledger. Verify that each journal entry is posted correctly. Verify that each original journal entry has equal debits and credits.P 240NEED-TO-KNOWDebitCreditAPPLETrial BalanceSeptember 29, 20X2Prepare a trial balance for Apple using the following condensed data from its fiscal year-ended September 29, 20X2.Assets NormalLiabilities NormalOwner, Capital NormalOwner, Withdrawals NormalRevenues NormalExpenses NormalTotals Debits = CreditsOwner, Capital$79,263Accounts payable21,175Investments and other assets138,936Other liabilities37,178Land and equipment15,452Cost of sales (expense)101,876Selling and other expense12,899Cash10,746Accounts receivable10,930Revenues156,508Owner, Withdrawals$3,285P 241NEED-TO-KNOWOwner, Capital$79,263Accounts payable21,175Investments and other assets138,936Other liabilities37,178Land and equipment15,452Cost of sales (expense)101,876Selling and other expense12,899Cash10,746Accounts receivable10,930Revenues156,508Owner, Withdrawals$3,285DebitCreditCash$10,746Accounts receivable10,930Land and equipment15,452Investments and other assets138,936Accounts payable$21,175Other liabilities37,178Owner, Capital79,263Owner, Withdrawals3,285Revenues156,508Cost of sales (expense)101,876Selling and other expense12,899Totals$294,124$294,124APPLETrial BalanceSeptember 29, 20X2Prepare a trial balance for Apple using the following condensed data from its fiscal year-ended September 29, 20X2.P 242 02-P3: Using a Trial Balance to Prepare Financial Statements 43Using a Trial Balance to Prepare Financial StatementsP 344Financial StatementsThe four financial statements and their purposes are: Income statement — describes a company’s revenues and expenses along with the resulting net income or loss over a period of time due to earnings activities. Statement of owner’s equity— explains changes in equity from net income (or loss) and from any owner investments and withdrawals over a period of time. Balance sheet — describes a company’s financial position (types and amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity) at a point in time. Statement of Cash Flows — The statement of cash flows lists the cash inflows and cash outflows for the period.**For simplicity, we do not show the statement of cash flows for FastForward in this chapter, but we do return to this statement in the next chapter.**P345Income StatementP 346Statement of Owner’s EquityP 347Balance SheetP 348Presentation IssuesDollar signs are not used in journals and ledgers.Dollar signs appear in financial statements and other reports such as trial balances. The usual practice is to put dollar signs beside only the first and last numbers in a column.When amounts are entered in the journal, ledger, or trial balance, commas are optional to indicate thousands, millions, and so forth.Commas are always used in financial statements.Companies commonly round amounts in reports to the nearest dollar, or even to a higher level.P 349Global ViewBoth U.S. GAAP and IFRS prepare the same four basic financial statements. A few differences are found within each statement, but over time these differences are likely to be eliminated. Here is a typical IFRS balance sheet presentation.50Global ViewAccounting systems depend on control procedures that assure the proper principles were applied in processing accounting information.
