Closing the books
• ... means making accounts ready for the next accounting period• ... is done at the end of each accounting period
Source: Weygandt/Kieso/Kimmel, p.141
10
Purpose of closing entries
• „zero out“ all nominal accounts
• transfer net income (loss) and owner‘s withdrawal into owner‘s capital account
• journalizing and posting closing entries is a required step in the accounting process
• closing entries are journalized in the general journal and then posted
11
The closing process
• Debit each revenue account for its balance, and credit Income Summary for total revenues.
• Credit each expense account for its balance, and debit Income Summary for total expenses.
• Closing the Income Summary account balance to the Capital account.
• Closing the Withdrawals account balance to the Capital account.
• Alternative: close revenue and expense accounts directly to the capital account
12
One example before we go through the whole closing process...
• let‘s close the revenue account for ZiscoSys

Preparing a Post-Closing Trial Balance
• Why? ... to prove equality of permanent account balances
note that all temporary accounts have zero balances after closing –hence, they don‘t enter the post-closing trial balance

Reversing entries – an example
• employer has a biweekly payroll of € 8.000, salaries are paid on the 10th and 24th each month
• September 24, initial salary entry : € 8.000 of salaries earned between September 10 and September 24 are paid.
• September 30, adjusting entry : salaries earned between September 24 and September 30 amount to € 4.000 and will be paid in the October 10 payroll.
• October 10, subsequent salary entry : salaries paid are € 8.000. Of this amount, € 4.000 accrued in September as salaries payable and € 4.000 was earned in October
