  3. Why Closing Entries are Necessary Year-end closing procedure is commonly referred to as “closing the books” because you are virtually closing off the fiscal year. The slides that follow illustrate year-end closing procedures for a sole proprietorship using the Periodic Inventory method. Refer to your Accounting textbook for information on closing entries for corporations. Click and study why closing entries are necessary. Click to continue. Why closing entries are necessary: • Revenue increases owner’s equity, whereas expenses and drawings (withdrawals) decrease owner’s equity. During an accounting period, these increases and decreases are recorded in the revenue, expenses, and withdrawals accounts, but are not reflected in the Capital account. • By transferring the effects of revenues, expenses, and drawings to the owner’s capital account, the correct capital account will be reflected in the beginning financial statements of the new fiscal period. • Because the revenue, expenses and drawings accounts must accumulate information for only one period, they must start from zero balances at the beginning of each new accounting period. Closing entries clear the balances of the revenue, expenses and withdrawals accounts to zero. • 3. In order that correct inventory values are used at the start of the new fiscal year, the correct Beginning Inventory must be established.

  4. Year-End Closing in Simply • Study the Trial Balance after year-end adjustment entries had been recorded. This is where you would start year-end closing procedures as follows: • Close the current fiscal year, then • 2. Record journal entries to start the new fiscal year. • These procedures affect the asset Inventory account (purple arrow), revenue accounts (gold bracket), cost of goods sold (COGS) accounts (green bracket), expense accounts (blue bracket), and • Click. • … Drawings account is closed to the Capital account (red arrows). • Click to continue.

  5. Year-End Closing in Simply (continued) To close the current fiscal year in Simply, you would select Start New Year from the Maintenance Menu. Click Start New Year now. Simply will give you a chance to back up. Read the warning window. Click Yes.

  6. Year-End Closing in Simply (continued) In the Backup File Name box, you can specify the folder name where you wish to save the backup. Click OK. If the folder does not exist, Simply will create it for you automatically. Simply would also confirm clearing of old data. For example, if the current year is 2014, “old data” refers to data for 2013. If you select Yes, Simply would delete 2013 data and move 2014 data in its place. Click Yes.

  7. Year-End Closing in Simply (continued) Simply would then remind you to update the locking date. Click. This refers to the date you have entered in the Company System Setting page when you first set up the company records. When you set up the System locking date for the old year in order that no transactions could be entered previous to that date. Click. When starting a new year, the new locking date should be the first day of the new fiscal year. In this case, the first day of the new fiscal year is Jan 01, 2015. Updating the Locking Date to this date will prevent posting entries to the previous year 2014. Click to continue. Locking Date for the New Year Current Locking Date

  8. Closing Entries: Procedure #1: Close Ending Inventory and temporary accounts with credit balances. When Simply performs year-end closing procedures, it does not generate journal entries; therefore, closing entries would not appear in the General Journal Entry Listing at the end of the year. The procedures illustrated here are designed to help you understand the theory behind the closing procedures that Simply automatically performs. Click and study closing Procedure #1, based on information on the Trial Balance above it. This procedure closes Sales – All, Ending Inventory, Purchase Returns and Purchase Discounts to zero and transfers the balances of these accounts to Income Summary, a temporary clearing account (which you will not see on the Trial Balance). Remember, Simply automatically does this procedure when you start a new year. Click to continue. Procedure #1: Close Ending Inventory and temporary accounts with credit balances. DR Sales – All 327,600.00 DR Ending Inventory 55,850.00 DR Purchase Returns 5,260.00 DR Purchase Discounts 1,942.00 CR Income Summary 390,652.00

  9. Closing Entries: Procedure #2: Close Beginning Inventory and temporary accounts with debit balances. This procedure (which Simply does automatically when you start a new year) closes COGS accounts Beginning Inventory and Purchases (green arrows), temporary revenue accounts that have debit balances (Sales Returns and SalesDiscounts - gold arrows), and all expense accounts (purple bracket). Click and study Procedure #2 based on the partial Trial Balance shown. Click to continue.

  13. Starting a New Fiscal Year In Simply, you would enter journal entries to start the new fiscal year in the General Journal. Be sure to enter appropriate comments for the audit trail. See sample at right. Click to continue.

  14. Starting the New Fiscal Year: Entry #1: Close the Drawings account to the owner’s Capital Account. The post-closing Trial Balance shows a $10,000 balance in the Drawings account. This amount should be entered as a debit to the owner’s Capital account, therefore reducing the Capital account by the Drawings amount. Click and study Entry #1 to start the new fiscal year. Click again to see the effect of Entry #1 to the Drawings and Capital accounts. Click to continue. Drawings Nathan Kafa Capital Nathan Kafa T Bal 10,000 Entry# 1 10,000 T.

  15. Starting a New Fiscal Year: Entry #2: Reverse Accrued and Estimated Adjustments In the last chapter, you posted period-end adjustments. To start the new fiscal year, some, not all of these entries need to be reversed. Adjustments to PREPAID EXPENSES (insurance and office supplies) do not need to be reversed because the expenses were incurred and paid in the previous period. Likewise, amortizations are not reversed because the asset reduction (depreciation) occurred in the previous period. See right for entries that are not reversed. Click. Adjustments that had not been paid at period-end (accrued or estimated), although incurred in the previous period, need to be restored in the records; otherwise, when the expenses need to be paid, the account balance will not reflect the full amount of the invoice due. Click to see the reversing entries. Click to continue. Adjustment and Accruals at Year-End Bank Reconciliation Adjustment at Year-End DR Bank Charges Expense 33.00 CR Cash in Bank 33.00 Accrued Wages at Year-End DR Wages Expense 1, 809.00 CR Wages Payable 1,809.00 Utility Expense Accrued at Year-End DR Water/Hydro Expense 340.00 CR Accrued Liabilities 340.00 Journal Entries that are NOT reversed Insurance Expense Adjustment at Year-End DR Insurance Expense 50.00 CR Prepaid Insurance 50.00 Amortization Adjustment at Year-End DR Amort.

  16. Starting a New Fiscal Year: Entry #3: Update Inventory Accounts You need to update Inventory of Goods and Beginning Inventory in order that the new fiscal year starts with correct balances. Study the journal entry below. This entry would transfer the balance from Inventory of Goods to Beginning Inventory. Click. Ending Inventory remains zero until the end of the first reporting period; e.g., month-end, when INVENTORY is counted and updated. Click to continue.
