True or False. The steps involved in handling all of the transactions and events completed during an accounting period, beginning with placing data in a book of original entry and ending with a post-closing trial balance, are referred to collectively as the accounting cycle.

Accounting cycle involves estimating, analyzing and reporting accounting transactions arising in a company. The cycle starts when a particular transaction occurs and ends when the same is reported in financial statements.

Accounting cycle helps in ensuring that financial statements are prepared correctly and timely. Transactions are first journalized and posted to ledger. Thereafter, unadjusted trial balance is prepared. Adjusting entries are made and then adjusted trail balance is prepared and finally financial statements are prepared.
