Is financial statements are prepared from the unadjusted trial balance?
Yes, financial statements are typically prepared from the unadjusted trial balance, but adjustments must be made first to account for accrued and deferred items. The unadjusted trial balance provides a summary of all account balances at a specific time, but it does not reflect necessary adjustments such as depreciation or accrued expenses. Once these adjustments are made, the adjusted trial balance is used to prepare the financial statements, including the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
A ledger that is summarized in a single general ledger account?
There is no "ledger" that summarizes your ledger.The General Ledger used by companies is a list of all accounts the company has, assets, liabilities, owners equity. A summary of these accounts is created using your "trial balance", "adjusted trial balance" and finally, the "post-closing trial balance".Not only does the trial balance summarize all the accounts in the general ledger, it also insures that the accounts "balance". Once adjustments are made (i.e. payments made, payments received, income earned, prepaid expenses used, etc.) then an adjusted trial balance is created. Now the next step is, if you want to find the amount of Retained Earning for the period (what the company made after all expenses are paid) closing entries are entered into the ledger and a post closing trial balance is created along with the income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of owners equity and many times the balance sheet.
