- This is a blank 10-column worksheet template used in accounting to organize financial data for preparing financial statements.
- The columns are structured to show the flow of account balances from the initial Trial Balance, through Adjustments, to the Adjusted Trial Balance, and finally into the Income Statement and Balance Sheet sections.
- The "ACCOUNT TITLE" column lists all general ledger accounts.
- The "NO." column is for account numbers.
- The "TRIAL BALANCE" section shows the unadjusted debit and credit balances from the general ledger.
- The "ADJUSTMENTS" section records adjusting entries (e.g., accrued expenses, prepaid expenses, depreciation) made at the end of an accounting period.
- The "ADJUSTED TRIAL BALANCE" section shows the updated debit and credit balances after adjustments have been applied.
- The "INCOME STATEMENT" section contains revenue and expense accounts; their net difference determines net income or loss.
- The "BALANCE SHEET" section contains asset, liability, and equity accounts; it must balance (total debits = total credits).
- To use this worksheet, you would fill in the account titles and trial balance amounts, make necessary adjustments, calculate the adjusted trial balance, and then classify each account into either the Income Statement or Balance Sheet columns.
