Explanation -
Adjusting Entry –
Adjusting Entries are the entries that make the accrual principle work for the organization. These entries make the cash transaction the accrual one. Adjusting entries do not include cash. This also ensures that the transactions incurred in the current accounting period will be recorded in the current period and adjust the prepaid and accrual if any for further periods.
