Explanation:
Adjusting journal entries are often used to make some changes in the accounts at the end of the reporting period in order to ensure that transactions are reported on the accrual basis. Entries made under this journal are usually accrued expenses and income, prepaid expenses and deferred revenue, depreciation charges.
On the other hand, closing journal entries are used to differentiate the temporary accounts from the permanent accounts. Temporary accounts are closed at the end of the accounting period to the Income Summary. Permanents accounts are carried over to the next accounting period. Their accounts make up the balance sheet and their opening balances of the next reporting period.
