Reference: on difference between adjusting and correcting entries Reference information: Adjusting journal entry is 1. necessary entry at the end of the reporting period to record unrecognized revenue and expenses applicable to that period. It is required when a transaction is begun in one accounting period and concluded in a later one. An adjusting entry always involves an income statement account (revenue or expense) and a balance sheet account (asset or liability). The four basic types of adjusting entries relate to accrued expenses, accrued revenue, prepaid expenses, and unearned revenue. 2. correcting entry required at the end of the accounting period due to a mistake made in the accounting records; also called correcting entry. For example, if during the same year land was charged instead of travel expense, the correcting entry is to debit travel expense and credit land.
