The use of a worksheet is optional for any organization. A worksheet can neither be considered as a journal nor a part of the general ledger.
To Identify: Whether a worksheet is a permanent accounting record and its use is required in the accounting cycle or not.

Answer to Problem 1Q
No. Worksheet is not a permanent accounting record and companies may or may not use a worksheet in their accounting cycle.
Explanation of Solution
- A worksheet is generally used to do the adjustments while preparing a financial statement.
- It is not mandatory to use it every time a statement is prepared.
- A worksheet is not a journal and hence
journal entries must be passed separately in order to post them to the ledger. - Journal entries must also be passed for the adjustments made under the worksheet before posting them to the ledger.
- Similarly, a worksheet is not a part of the general ledger.
- It depends on the company whether they want to use a worksheet or not.
From the above statements given, it is evident that the worksheet is not a permanent accounting record and its use is not necessarily required in the accounting cycle. It is just a working tool that is used to do the adjustments while preparing the financial statements.
