The six major steps of accounting are:-
- Transactions (for invoices, bank statements, etc) are analyzed and registered.
- Posting transactions in the report (under double-entry accounting rules)
- Prepare an unadjusted check balance (this includes naming all the records in the company and describing their balance sheets)
- Plan for adjustment in entries at the end of the cycle
