This is the 7th course in a comprehensive series of courses about Xero Accounting software. We will focus on month-end adjusting entries, which are often needed to make the bookkeeping correct and in accordance with the accounting method used (often the accrual method) as of the month-end or year-end.

As we enter each adjustment, we will analyze the impact on the financial statement and assess whether we should enter a reversing entry. We will enter reversing entries where appropriate, and analyze the impact on the financial statements and bookkeeping process.

Learn how to identify and record necessary adjustments for timing differences, handle complex scenarios involving sub-ledgers and depreciation, and understand when reversing entries are needed to simplify subsequent bookkeeping. The course covers practical application within Xero, including:

• Recording and reversing Accrued Interest.
• Adjusting for Accounts Receivable & Sales cutoffs.
• Making adjustments for Prepaid Insurance.
• Calculating and posting Depreciation.
• Breaking out and reversing Short-Term/Long-Term Loan portions.
• Leveraging Xero's journal entry and reporting features for adjustments.

Develop the skills to confidently perform these vital period-end procedures, maintain clean data, and generate accurate financial reports using Xero.
