It is often helpful to reverse some of the adjusting entries before recording the regular transactions of the next period.

Companies make a reversing entry at the beginning of the next accounting period.

Each reversing entry is the exact opposite of the adjusting entry made in the previous period.

The use of reversing entries does not change the amounts reported in the financial statements.
