Some accounts, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory, continuously reflect the updated balance through the daily transactions. These accounts do not need to be adjusted at the end of the period as they reflect the accurate balance. However, most other accounts require adjustment entries to be made at the end of the period to ensure that the financial statements accurately reflect the company's financial position and results of operations.
