Accounting process

The accounting process involves several steps: 1) Identifying and analyzing business transactions and events, 2) Recording transactions in journal entries using double-entry bookkeeping, 3) Posting journal entries to ledger accounts to show changes to accounts and current balances, 4) Preparing a trial balance to test that debits equal credits, and 5) Creating financial statements as the final reports on a company's financial status and profit. This process is repeated each reporting period as the accounting cycle.
