Worksheet: A worksheet is a tool that is used while preparing a financial statement. It is a type of form having multiple columns and it is used in the adjustment process. 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. Usually organizations use Microsoft Excel in order to use a worksheet electronically.

Classified Balance Sheet

In order to improve the ease of understanding, a classified balance sheet is used. In a classified balance sheet, various standard classifications and sections are used to classify all the similar assets and similar liabilities together. The items having similar economic characteristics are put in the same group so that the users of the statement can easily understand the items.

Classification Heads

  • Current Assets
  • Long-Term Investments
  • Property Plant and Equipment
  • Intangible Assets
  • Current Liabilities
  • Long-Term Liabilities
  • Stockholder’s Equity

Adjusting entries: Adjusting entries are those entries which are recorded to update all the balances in the financial statements to show the true financial information and to maintain the records according to accrual basis principle

Accounting rules for journal entries:

  • To Increase balance of the account: Debit assets, expenses, losses and credit all liabilities, capital, revenue and gains.
  • To Decrease balance of the account: Credit assets, expenses, losses and debit all liabilities, capital, revenue and gains

Closing entries: Closing entries are those journal entries which are passed to transfer the balances of temporary accounts to the permanent accounts. These are passed at the end of the accounting period, to transfer the final balance.

Rules for closing entries:

  • Debit the account: All temporary accounts with credit balances.
  • Credit the account: All temporary accounts with debit balances

Ledger Account

A ledger account helps to prepare the financial statements. The accounts of all the items are prepared separately such as assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, owner’s equity and so on. The ledger accounts along with their balances are further posted to the trial balance.

The general ledger accounts are represented graphically through the T Accounts.

Post-Closing Trial Balance: Post closing trial balance is prepared, after journalizing the closing entries, and posting them to the respective ledgers.

Country Selection for your Portfolio Project First, review the Portfolio Project description and the grading rubric in the Module 7 folder. Then, choose a country you will study and become an expert in as you prepare for the final project. Once you have selected a country, select a product that is currently not available there. This country-product combination will be the focus of your Portfolio Project. There can be only one person per country. So post early to ensure you get your country choice.

We are all strategists. That is, we set goals, navigate threats, and tap opportunities. We leverage our resources and implement decisions and actions to reach our goals. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail.   (Adapted from Figure 1.1, Grant, 2022, p. 7) Please share an experience in which you played the strategist. What was your goal? Did the goal fit (or not fit) with the realities of the external environment and your resources? What implementation decisions and efforts did you make? Was your strategy successful or not? Why? Did strategy execution (i.e., implementation, monitoring, and control) play a key role in your strategy’s success or failure?
