General Ledger - Retained Earnings

 

Function

At the end of the fiscal year, the year-end process is run. All income and expense accounts are accumulated. The difference between the income and expense is the company’s profit or loss for the year. This amount is posted to a retained earnings general ledger account as part of the year end process. A single retained earnings account number must be specified for the module to successfully close the year.
