We cover:

1️⃣ Business Transaction – The first step where any financial activity occurs, such as cash sales, purchase of furniture, payment of salary, or rent received.

2️⃣ Journalizing – Recording the transaction in the journal (book of original entry) with date, accounts affected, debit amount, credit amount, and a short explanation.

3️⃣ Posting to Ledger – Transferring journal entries to the ledger, which has separate accounts like Cash Account, Sales Account, Rent Account, and Salary Account to see the total balance of each account.

4️⃣ Trial Balance – A list of all ledger account balances to check whether total debits equal total credits and find errors in recording or posting.

5️⃣ Adjusting Entries – End-of-period corrections for outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, accrued income, depreciation, and income received in advance to show the true financial position.

6️⃣ Adjusted Trial Balance – A new trial balance prepared after adjusting entries to confirm debits still equal credits before preparing financial statements.

7️⃣ Financial Statements – Final reports including the Income Statement (profit or loss), Balance Sheet (assets, liabilities, and capital), and Cash Flow Statement (cash inflow and outflow).

8️⃣ Closing Entries – Closing temporary accounts like revenue accounts, expense accounts, and dividend accounts by transferring them to the capital or retained earnings account to reset for the next period.

9️⃣ Post-Closing Trial Balance – Includes only real accounts (permanent accounts) to check balances after closing and ensure books are ready for the next period.

🔟 Start Next Accounting Period – The cycle begins again, which is why it’s called a cycle.
