Post Closing Balance Sheet

A post-closing balance sheet reflects the company’s financial position after all temporary accounts (revenues, expenses, dividends) are closed. It shows only permanent accounts, assets, liabilities, and equity carried into the next accounting period. It’s useful for verifying balances before starting a new cycle and ensuring books are reset.
