In adjusting entries, accounts such as accrued revenues, accrued expenses, prepaid expenses, and unearned revenues may appear to reflect the true financial position at the end of an accounting period. Closing entries typically involve revenue accounts, expense accounts, and the Income Summary account to transfer balances to retained earnings. Reversing entries usually affect accruals, such as accrued revenues or expenses, to simplify the recording of transactions in the new period. These entries ensure that financial statements accurately reflect the company's financial performance and position.
An example of an adjusting entry for deferred items is the recognition of unearned revenue. When a business receives payment in advance for services or goods to be delivered in the future, it initially records this as a liability. As the services are performed or goods delivered, an adjusting entry would debit the unearned revenue account and credit the revenue account, reflecting the income earned during the period. This ensures that revenue is recognized in the correct accounting period.

This adjustment reflects the recognition of revenue that has been earned but was previously recorded as a liability. It ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the earned revenue and the reduction of the liability.
