Explanation:

End of period adjustments are made to accounts in order to bring them in line with the accrual concept and matching principle of accounting.  These principles require that expenses and revenues for the period are matched in order to determine the appropriate profit generated for the period.  The implication is that transactions are recorded when they are incurred and not when cash is exchanged.  For example, if rent expense is incurred for the year and payment is made in the following year, the expense must be recognized in the current year.  The same applies to revenue.
