a process many students find very helpful because it allows us to see the topic
from different viewpoints.

As a practicing CPA the
instructor has worked with many technical accounting issues and helped work
through them and discuss them with clients of all levels.
As a CPS and professor, the
instructor has taught many accounting classes and worked with many students in
the fields of accounting, business, and business applications.
The instructor also has a lot of
experience designing courses and learning how students learn best and how to
help students achieve their objectives. Experience designing technical courses
has also benefit in being able to design a course in a logical fashion and deal
with problems related to technical topics and the use of software like
QuickBooks Pro.
The topic will be the financial
accounting closing process.
As indicated by the title, the closing process takes place at
the end of the accounting cycle. The main event of the accounting cycle is the
financial statements. Once we have completed the financial statements we need
to get ready for the next accounting period, get ready with the closing
process.
The closing process will zero out temporary accounts including income
statement accounts of revenue and expenses and the draws or dividends account.
We can perform the closing process multiple ways. We will
consider the closing process from three perspectives. Each perspective has pros
and cons and the repetition of each method as well as performing the closing
process from multiple angles will provide a solid understanding of the concepts.
Understanding the closing process helps understand the concept
of temporary accounts and permanent accounts, which helps us understand the relationship
of the financial statements and how to read them.
Please join us for Financial Accounting, Adjusting Entries &
Financial Statements.
It will be great.
