RECORD THE TRANSACTIONS:

Summary of Events: Use this to record your transactions and any transaction that affects your business.

Horizontal Worksheet: It can be used to determine how each transaction will affect the financial statements, i.e. - which accounts are used. Use of this worksheet is required, as it is a great tool and will make preparing your financial statements much easier.

After you record all the transactions, remember to close the books and make the adjustment entries each business makes at the end of an accounting period.

Financial Statements:You are required to prepare an Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity, and Balance Sheet.
