The topic will be the financial
accounting closing process.

As indicated by the title, the closing process takes place at
the end of the accounting cycle. The main event of the accounting cycle is the
financial statements. Once we have completed the financial statements we need
to get ready for the next accounting period, get ready with the closing
process.

The closing process will zero out temporary accounts including income
statement accounts of revenue and expenses and the draws or dividends account.

We can perform the closing process multiple ways. We will
consider the closing process from three perspectives. Each perspective has pros
and cons and the repetition of each method as well as performing the closing
process from multiple angles will provide a solid understanding of the concepts.

Understanding the closing process helps understand the concept
of temporary accounts and permanent accounts, which helps us understand the relationship
of the financial statements and how to read them.
