The process of transferring balances to the trading and profit and loss account at the end of year is called closing the books and entries passed at that time are called closing entries.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Transfer Entries<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When accounts are transferred from one account to another for combination of allied items, it is necessary to pass transfer entry.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Adjusting Entries<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Modification of the accounts at the end of an accounting period is called adjustments. If there be any event affecting the related period of accounts but left out of the books, the same should be incorporated in the books before the preparation of the final accounts. This is done by means of adjusting entries through the journal proper.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Rectification Entries<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When an error is detected in the books, the same is rectified through an entry in the journal proper called rectification entry.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Entries with no Special Journal<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When a trader cannot record the entries in the above mentioned sub-journals, the same are entered in the journal proper.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Entries for Rare Transactions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In a business it may happen sometimes that transactions are usually rare.
