Accounting Cycle

The accounting process that begins with analyzing

and

journalizing

transactions

and

ends

with

summarizing and reporting these transactions is

called the accounting cycle. The most important
output of this cycle is the financial statements.
For any transaction, there should be a source
document and these source documents help to
produce DBEs financial source documents.
