The Scenario
The bookkeeper has produced a trial balance for year-end. The auditors need a properly classified balance sheet separating current vs non-current assets and liabilities. The bookkeeper does not know how to do the classification.
The Brief
Invent a 20-line trial balance for a small manufacturing company. Then convert it into a classified balance sheet with proper groupings.
Deliverables
- A 20-line trial balance with debits and credits that balance
- A classified balance sheet: Current Assets, Non-Current Assets, Current Liabilities, Non-Current Liabilities, Equity
- Three journal entries for common year-end adjustments (depreciation, accruals, prepayments) and their impact on the balance sheet
Submission Guidance
The trial balance must balance. The balance sheet must balance. If they do not, you have made an error. Check your work.
