Select three of the six questions listed below to ask your new bookkeeper, and describe the response you expect to hear: Define the accounting cycle. Explain the revenue principle and its implication on the financial statements. Define the matching principle and why it is critical in the preparation of the accrual-based financial statements. Compare and contrast a prepaid account and a deferred account. Give an example of each and how each affects the financial statements. Define and differentiate between the purpose of a journal entry, an adjusting entry, and a closing entry. Define the difference between a trial balance and a post-closing trial balance.
