It updates previously recorded journal entries so that the financial statements at the end of the year are accurate and up-to-date. WORKSHEET AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT What is Worksheet? Multiple column sheets wherein all necessary information used for the preparation of the financial statement is recorded in a systematic process is called a worksheet. The worksheet is not a permanent account. It is not a part of a journal or ledger.

These three statements together show the assets and liabilities of a business, its revenues and costs, as well as its cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.
