Xplantr uses the following steps in their accounting
process:

BEGINNING OF THE
PERIOD PROCESSING

IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL
TRANSACTIONS

PERIOD END PROCESSING


Beginning of Period Processing:

At the beginning period of processing Xplantr


verifies that all transactions of reversed entries have
been reversed as the company follows the accrual
basis of accounting. This is done so that companies
can close temporary accounts. In this way, they
ensure that transactions are not recorded twice.

Identifying individual transactions:

1)At first, they identify the transactions and


determine the kind of transactions that take place
such as- purchasing goods from suppliers, selling
software to customers, payment of employees etc.

2)Prepare documents to initiate transactions. For


example- receiving invoice from suppliers or
sending invoice to customers.

3)Identify proper accounts under which the business


transactions will be recorded.
4)At last, the recorded transactions are entered into
the accounting system.

Xplantr uses these 4 steps to record their individual


business transactions in their accounting process.
Period End Processing:

At the end of the accounting period, Xplantr takes the


following accounting steps-

1)Prepare Trial Balance: A trial balance is a list of


accounts and their balances at a given time.
Companies prepare a trial balance at the end of
their accounting period. It proves the mathematical
equality of debits and credits after posting. This
step is very useful in the preparation of financial
statements.

2)Adjust the Trial Balance: Adjusting the trial


balance is necessary since it may not contain up to
date or complete data. If there are any errors in the
trial balance, they should be adjusted accordingly.

3)Preparing adjusted trial balance: After a


company has journalized and posted all adjusting
entries, another trial balance is prepared called the
adjusted trial balance. It shows balances of all
accounts including the adjusted ones as well. Its
purpose is to prove the equality of total debit and
total credit balances after adjusting.

4)Preparing financial statements: Financial


statements are made from the adjusted trial
balances. This includes the income statement,
owner’s equity statement and balance sheet.

5)Closing entries: After preparing the financial


statements, companies transfer the temporary
account balances i.e. revenues, expenses and
drawings account to the permanent accounts which
are owner’s equity account, owner’s capital by
means of closing balance. During this process, the
balances of expenses and revenue accounts are
transferred to income summary. And owner’s
drawings are transferred to owner’s capital, which
is later transferred to income summary. This
process produces a zero balance in each temporary
account.

6)Preparing Post Closing Trial Balance: After


closing entries, a post-closing trial balance is
prepared to prove the equality of the permanent
account balances. Since all temporary accounts will
net to zero, it will only show the final balances of
the balance sheet accounts, that is, balance of the
permanent accounts.
