Explain why temporary accounts are closed each period.
On Jul 15, 2024
Temporary accounts accumulate data related to one accounting period.They are closed at the end of each accounting period to prepare revenue,expense and dividends accounts for the next reporting period by bringing the balances in those accounts to zero.Secondly,the closing process is used to update the retained earnings account to include the increases from revenues and decreases from expenses and dividends.
