Steps to reproduce
To properly undertake the accounting cycle, the authors include several steps: the first corresponds to the initial balances phase, meaning items with figures from previous months are determined and accumulated to the current monthly period. The second step involves recognizing transactions for the current monthly period. The third step is to determine the impact of current transactions on the balances from previous months. The final step is making adjustments and determining the final balances for the generation of basic financial statements.
