Accounting - The capital account

The capital account

The profit or loss is posted from the Profit and Loss summary account to
the capital account. Drawings will also be closed off to the capital
account. The 'content' of the capital account is repeated in the balance
sheet with net profit added to capital and drawings deducted.
