Meaning of Final Account
Final accounts are those accounts that are prepared by a joint stock company at the end of a fiscal year. The purpose of creating final accounts is to provide a clear picture of the financial position of the organization to its management, owners, or any other users of such accounting information.
Final accounts are an integral part of a financial accounting year for every business. In other words, it is the end product of the accounting process carried out the whole year.
Final account preparation involves preparing a set of accounts and statements at the end of an accounting year. The final account consists of the following accounts:
- Trading and Profit and Loss Account
- Balance Sheet
- Profit and Loss Appropriation account
Objectives of Final Account preparation
Final accounts are prepared with the following objectives:
- To determine profit or loss incurred by a company in a given financial period
- To determine the financial position of the company
- To act as a source of information to convey the users of accounting information (owners, creditors, investors and other stakeholders) about the solvency of the company.
