 PREPARATION OF FINAL ACCOUNTS

1. TRADING ACCOUNT

Trading account is prepared for calculating the gross profit or gross loss arising or
incurred as a result of the trading activities of a business. In other worlds, it is prepared
to show the result of manufacturing, buying and selling of goods. If the amount of sales
exceeds the amount of purchases and the expenses directly connected with such
purchases, the difference is termed as gross profit. On the contrary, if the purchases, and
direct expenses exceed the sales, the difference is called gross loss. A Trading Account records
the amount of purchases of goods and also the expenses which are incurred in bringing
that commodity to a saleable state. In other words, all expenses which relate to either
purchase of raw material for manufacturing of goods are recorded in the Trading
Account. All such expenses are called ‘Direct Expenses’.

2. PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

Trading account only discloses the gross profit earned as a result of buying and selling of
goods. However, a businessman has to incur a number of expenses which are not taken
to trading account. Hence, a businessman is more interested in knowing the net profit
earned or net loss incurred during the year. As such, a Profit & Loss Account is
prepared which contains all the items of losses and gains pertaining to the accounting
period.

3. BALANCE SHEET

After ascertaining the net profit or loss of the business enterprise, the businessman would
also like to know the exact financial position of his business. For this purpose a
statement is prepared which contains all the Assets and Liabilities of the business
enterprise. The statement so prepared is called a Balance Sheet because it is a sheet of
balances of ledger accounts which are still open after the transfer of all nominal accounts
to the Trading and Profit & Loss Account. Balances of all the personal and real accounts
are grouped as assets and liabilities. Liabilities are shown on the left hand side of the
Balance Sheet and assets on the right hand side.

 CONCLUSION
