In a broad sense Final Accounts means P & L a/c and Balance Sheet

First of all preparation of Trial Balance. Trial Balance consists of Net Balances of all ledgers. If the Trial Balance is tallying we can assume the posting of entries are correct. P & L includes Revenue & Expenses, post the same to P&L. Then either Net profit / Loss will arrive. Then calculation of depreciation and taxes, the net balance will transfer to balance sheet. Balance sheet consists of Source of Fund & Application of funds (Assets & Liabilities)

RE: Final Accounts

Final accounts consists of trading a/c P&L a/c and balance sheet. All the amounts from trial balance are taken to prepare these accounts. In Trading a/c all the transactions which are related to a factory are recorded such as sales purchases wages etc. the profit in this a/c is known as gross profit and it is carried forwarded to P&L a/c.
