Steps in the Accounting Cycle

The accounting cycle（会计循环）（see the following figure: Accounting Cycle）can be divided into the following steps:

(1) Transactions, from information on source documents, are recorded in a journal.

(2) Journal entries are posted to a ledger.

(3) Worksheet, including a trial balance, is prepared from the ledger.

(4) Financial statements are prepared from the worksheet.

(5) Ledger is closed and accounts are balanced and ruled.

(6) Post-closing trial balance of the ledger is taken.

The various steps in the accounting cycle do not occur with equal frequency（频繁程度）. Usually, analyzing, journalizing and posting（steps (1)～(3)）take place during each operating period, whereas accounts are adjusted and statements are prepared only when management requires financial statements—usually at monthly or quarterly intervals（间隔）, but at least annually. Temporary accounts are customarily（通常）closed only at the end of the accounting year.

Business firms whose accounting year ends on December 31 are said to be on a calendar-year（日历年度）basis. Many firms prefer to have their accounting year coincide with （与…一致）their "natural" business year; thus the year ends when business is slow and inventory quantities are small and easier to count. At this time, end-of-year accounting procedures are most efficiently accomplished. An accounting year ending with a month other than（而不是）December is called a fiscal year（财务年度）.

Questions:

1. How many steps are there in the accounting cycle?

2. What should an accountant first do to record a transaction?

3. How often do steps (1)～(3) take place?

4. What is a fiscal year?

5. How important is it for us to understand the accounting cycle?
