Prior to journalising the adjusting entries, we should check our work to date by reviewing a Trial Balance. Click on Reports (on the top toolbar), Accountant, Trial Balance, and select the to/From dates as 1/7/2013 and 31/7/2013, and click Refresh. If you have completed the entries correctly, then your trial balance will be identical to the trial balance on your Excel worksheet, with one exception. QuickBooks has debited/credited the GST that it automatically calculated to Tax Payable instead of GST Clearing. If we add the balances of the two accounts together they equal $4532 which is the correct amount.

Now pass journal entries for the adjustments. Refer to the example in the Training exercise. Remember to check the box for ‘Adjusting Entry’ and to date all the entries 31/7/2013.
