After posting the four closing journal entries: We are almost finished!! We need to verify that our General Ledger still balances.. . We will prepare another Trial Balance. This last Trial Balance is called the Post-Closing Trial Balance

POST-CLOSING TRIAL BALANCE Trial Balance prepared after the closing journal entries have been posted. Purpose: to prove that the general ledger is in balance at the beginning of a new accounting period.

SCC Student-Run Bookstore Post-Closing Trial Balance December, 31, 20-- Account Title Acct # Debit Bal Credit Bal Cash 101 20,000 Accounts Receivable 122 15,000 Merchandise Inventory 131 18,000 Supplies 141 400 Prepaid Insurance 145 600 Land 161 10,000 Building 171 90,000 Accumulated Depreciation - Building 171.1 20,000 Store Equipment 181 50,000 Accumulated Depreciation - Store Eq. 181.1 18,000 Notes Payable 201 5,000 Accounts Payable 202 10,000 Wages Payable 219 450 Sales Tax Payable 231 1,500 Unearned Subscriptions Revenue 241 2,000 Mortgage Payable 251 30,000 Rock Studley, Capital 311 117,050 204,000 204,000

Did I mention that reversing entries are optional!? Prepared at the beginning of an accounting period Reverses adjusting entries made last period. To simplify the recording of transactions in the new accounting period. Except for the first year of operations, only adjustments that INCREASED an ASSET OR LIABILITY account from a zero balance should be reversed. Did I mention that reversing entries are optional!?
