10 Closing the books... means making accounts ready for the next accounting period... is done at the end of each accounting period Temporary (Nominal) These accounts are closed Permanent (Real) These accounts are not closed All revenue accounts All expense accounts Owner's drawing account All asset accounts All liability accounts Owner's capital account Source: Weygandt/Kieso/Kimmel, p

12 The closing process Debit each revenue account for its balance, and credit Income Summary for total revenues. Credit each expense account for its balance, and debit Income Summary for total expenses. Closing the Income Summary account balance to the Capital account. Closing the Withdrawals account balance to the Capital account. Alternative: close revenue and expense accounts directly to the capital account 12
