When preparing the accounts of any firm for any year, there will be certain opening entries that will need to be incorporated in the balance sheet. Without these entries, the accounts will fail to show the true and fair view of the financial status of the firm. Let us understand how to pass an opening entry.

The opening balance is usually that balance which is brought forward at the beginning of an accounting period from the end of a previous accounting period. The opening balance is the amount of capital or fund in a company’s account at the start of a new financial period. It is the very first entry in the accounts.

In an operating firm, the ending balance at the end of one month or year becomes the opening balance for the beginning of the next month or accounting year. The opening balance may appear on the credit or debit side of the ledger, as the case may be!
