In the module activity you will have the opportunity to record your own adjusting journal entries and prepare an adjusted trial balance.

- Welcome to the second module of the course! In this module we take a quick break from the steps of the accounting cycle to introduce a new tool called the worksheet. By the end of this module, you will be able to create a 10 column worksheet on your own while applying your knowledge of adjusting entries from Module 1
