Adjusted Purchases
When closing stock is given inside the trial balance, opening stock and purchases are combined into adjusted purchases, and closing stock goes only to the balance sheet.
Outstanding Expenses
Expenses that relate to the current accounting period but remain unpaid at the end of the year; they are added to the respective expense and shown as a liability.
Prepaid Expenses
Expenses paid in advance for the next accounting period; they are deducted from the respective expense in the P&L account and recorded as a current asset.
Accrued Income
Income earned during the current year but not yet received; it is added to the respective income and shown as an asset in the balance sheet.
Provision for Bad and Doubtful Debts
An estimated amount kept aside for debts that may turn bad in the future, calculated as a percentage of sundry debtors after deducting further bad debts.
Depreciation
The permanent decrease in the value of fixed assets due to usage, wear and tear, or obsolescence; it is debited to the P&L account and deducted from the asset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an adjustment item given outside the trial balance recorded in two places?
According to the dual aspect principle, every adjustment must affect two accounts to keep the books balanced—usually once in the Trading/P&L Account and once in the Balance Sheet.
What is the difference between items given inside the trial balance and outside the trial balance?
Items inside the trial balance have already been double-posted and appear only once in the final accounts (either P&L or Balance Sheet). Items outside (adjustments) are unrecorded and must be shown in two places.
How do we calculate provision for discount on debtors?
It is calculated as a percentage on debtors only after deducting further bad debts and provision for doubtful debts from the total sundry debtors.
