The source of information for closing entries primarily comes from the temporary accounts in the general ledger, which include revenues, expenses, and dividends. These accounts are closed at the end of an accounting period to reset their balances to zero for the next period. The balances are transferred to the retained earnings account in the equity section of the balance sheet. Additionally, financial statements, such as the income statement, provide summaries of these temporary account balances that inform the closing entries.
The General Ledger provides all the information you need to prepare a Post Closing Trial Balance as well as a Trial Balance, etc. A post closing trial balance is a trial balance that is prepared "before" accounts are closed out for the accounting period, such as expenses, revenues, etc. Adjusting entries are made to the General Ledger from the Journal entries and then a PCTB is prepared using the information obtained in the Ledger.
