Accounts
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME – Also known as the income statement.
Contains the results of the company’s operations for a specific period of time which is called
net income if it is a net positive result while a net loss if it is a net negative result. This can be
prepared for a month, a quarter or a year.
TEMPORARY ACCOUNTS – Also known as nominal accounts are the accounts found
under the SCI. They are called such because at the end of the accounting period, balances
under these accounts are transferred to the capital account, thus having only temporary
amounts and resulting to zero beginning balances at the beginning of the following
year.Examples of temporary accounts include revenues, sales, utilities expense, supplies
expense, salaries expense, depreciation expense, interest expense among others.
