The adjusting entry process is a fundamental bookkeeping andaccounting process but is often the accounting process most misunderstood.

Because of the name of accounting adjusting entry process we areled to believe that we are adjusting errors made by the accounting department.In other words, we may get the idea that the adjusting process would not beneeded if the accounting department did their work perfectly through theperiod. This assumption of the adjusting process fixing errors is not theprimary purpose for the adjusting process.

The adjusting process is a necessary part of the accountingcycle and one that is built into the accounting system. In other words, we planfor the adjusting process, and part of the plan is to enter normal accountingtransactions in such a way that we will most easily be able to make adjustmentsat the end of the time period.

The adjusting process helps significantly with the understandingof accrual concepts because the adjusting process focuses on timingdifferences, on when revenue and expense should be recognized.

We enter adjusting entries as of the end of the period.Adjusting entries will have a balance sheet component and an income statementcomponent.

Once the adjusting entries are complete, we can use the adjustedtrial balance to create the financial statements, the balance sheet, the incomestatement, and the statement of equity. Who will we be learning from?

The adjusting process takes place after normal business transaction have been entered. Adjusting entries help us better understand the accrual process because they deal with timing differences.  

We will use a worksheet to record the adjusting process and discuss the components of the worksheet.  

Once we have completed the adjusting process we will have an adjusted trial balance representing account balances that are as accurate as possible according to accrual accounting.  

We will then use the adjusted trial balance to create the financial statements, converting the debit and credit format of the adjusted trial balance to the plus and minus format of the financial statements.
