Without Fund Accounting

Here we will prepare a set of financial statements for SpringTime without using fund accounting. With the information below we will prepare journal entries which we will post to a general ledger. Using our final trial balance and the 1999 trial balance we used in our Fund Accounting discussion, we will create the financial statements.
