Closing Entries

Closing entries are journal entries passed at the end of an accounting period to transfer balances from temporary accounts to permanent accounts. Temporary accounts such as income and expenses are closed so the new period can start fresh. This process helps determine the final profit or loss and transfer it to retained earnings or capital.
