Why is closing stock written at credit side in trading account?

Closing stock or as it is also named as closing inventory is definitely an asset. But trading account is not the same as Inventory account. Inventory, being an asset, should have a debit balance in Inventory account. Trading account is a distinct account and both must not be mixed up together.The answer to the question "why closing stock is written on the credit side of the trading account" lies in understanding two points:First, Cost of sales must be matched up with current year's revenue and as the inventory at the end of the period has not been sold and thus should not be accounted against sales revenue, therefore it must be deducted from cost of sales. That is the conceptual reason why we deduct closing stock from the total of opening inventory and purchases.Second, in order to account for the inventory at the year end in the trading account, closing entry is passed and due to this closing entry closing stock appears at the credit side of trading account. This is the accounting reasonfor having it on the credit side. The closing entry is as follows:Debit: Inventory accountCredit: Trading accountInventory account is debited as inventory is still with the entity at the end of the period and is an asset so asset will be raised by debiting the inventory account.Students must understand that at the end of the period this asset is raised because usually it is not known how much stock is still with the entity until stock count and it was all treated as part of cost of sales i.e. trading expense against this period sales.But as it has not been traded that's why trading accounting in which cost of sales has been recorded it will be credited to give the correct information of the total inventory consumed in making current period's sales which is Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory.
