Hello
class
sorry
that
I
had
to
make
2
posts,
the
first
one
I
clicked
enter
by
a
mistake,
but
here's
my
discussion
post.
Accounts
Receivable,
Accounts
Payable,
Accrued
Costs,
Unearned
Revenues,
and
Deferred
Revenues
are
the
crucial
interim
accounts
that
a
company
must
close
throughout
this
procedure.
A
corporation's
financial
statements
may
be
distorted
if
certain
accounts
aren't
closed
on
time
or
procedures
are
skipped,
causing
investors
and
creditors
to
have
incorrect
information
and
preventing
honest
evaluation
of
financial
performance,
potentially
leading
to
unwise
decisions.
Reviewing
the
closing
entries
and
trial
balance
to
confirm
that
all
accounts
have
been
closed
and
the
costs
and
revenues
have
been
appropriately
recorded
in
the
general
ledger
is
the
most
crucial
step
a
business
can
take
to
guarantee
closure
properly.
The
business
should
also
make
sure
that
all
financial
accounts
are
created
appropriately
and
include
the
most
recent
data.
The
company
should
conduct
a
final
examination
of
its
financial
statements
to
ensure
that
all
closing
accounts
have
been
correctly
closed,
and
the
financial
statements
accurately
represent
the
firm's
performance.

Consider her question. What possible errors could happen and still allow the trial balance to balance?
