Adjusting entries are usually made on the last day of an accounting period (year, quarter, month) so that the financial statements reflect the revenues that have been earned and the expenses that were incurred during the accounting period.

I have been teaching “SIMPLE SECRETS BEHIND DIFFICULT ACCOUNTING-CONCEPTS”. These secrets are a result of umpteen mistakes I have committed in the course of preparing more than 700 real-life balance-sheets and over 150 real-life project-reports, all manually. In my method, entire syllabus can be covered in about one-tenth of the time taken by traditional method. And, these secrets become a life-long asset for the learner. Also, studying advanced chapters becomes very much easier. I am from Bangalore. Anybody interested?
Yes ,I my self is interested to learn these secrets,I am also a commerce teacher. I am also a commerce teacher having so many years of experience
