TRADING ACCOUNT
After preparing Trail Balance ,the next stage follows the preparation of
Trading Accounts as well as P&L A/c to determine the result of business
operations.

financial position of the business organizations.

operations.
The preparation of Final accounts will have two stages.
1. Preparation of Trading Account and P&L A/c
2. Preparation of Balance Sheet

through purchase and sale of goods.
