What is the overall effect of closing entries?

Closing Entries reset certain ledger accounts to zero when a new measurement period begins. For example at the end of each month a salesperson's commissions may be calculated on the sales for that month. If you do not close the books, the next month's sales numbers would be added to the previous months and the sales person would be paid twice for the first month. Closing Entries also reset changes in owners drawings/dividends and contributions so they are not counted more than once. This process nets out to register the change in owner's equity between balance sheets in the ledgers.


Prepare a post closing trial balance?

I can't actually do on here for you, however I can explain what a Post Closing Trial Balance is and how to get one.A Post Closing Trial Balance is a Trial Balance that is prepared only after all "closing" entries have been made to the Ledger and all adjustments have been made from the Journal, leaving only the permanent balance sheet accounts remain open. This is to check clerical accuracy and to prove that the accounting equation is in balance before the next accounting equation begins.To make your PCTB simply take the balances from the permanent accounts and list the in the PCTB with the balances, listing assets first (debits) then liabilities, owners equity next (credits) and balancing the account.
