    The loss of the previous year cannot be carried forward to this year's "current year's profit".

    The loss of the previous year should be in the "Profit Distribution, Undistributed Profit", and the year-end balance of the current year's profit should also be carried forward to the "Profit Distribution - Undistributed Profit".

    The profit of the year refers to the net profit (or net loss) of an enterprise in a certain fiscal year, which is calculated and determined by the composition of the company's profit, and is a dynamic indicator formed by the gradual accumulation of the enterprise from January to December of the calendar year. The profit for the year is a summary account.

    Accounting for the current year's profits:

    1. This account accounts for the net profit (or net loss) realized by the enterprise in the current period.

    2. When the profit is carried forward at the end of the period (month), the amount of each profit and loss account shall be transferred to this account and the profit and loss account shall be settled. The credit balance of the subject after the carry-forward is the net profit realized in the current period; The debit balance is the net loss incurred in the current period.

    3. At the end of the year, the net profit realized in the current year after the income and expenditure of the current year are offset shall be transferred to the "profit distribution" account, debited to this account, and credited to the "profit distribution - undistributed profits" account; For example, make the opposite accounting entry for the net loss. There should be no balance in this account after the carryover.

    No. The income statement is made according to the amount incurred, and the profit of the year should be transferred to the undistributed profit at the end of the year, that is, at the end of 07, and there is no balance at the end of the year.

    If it's a loss.

    Debit: Profit distribution - undistributed profit.

    Credit: Profit for the year.

    The income statement for '08 is based on the amount incurred in '08 and excludes the number of '07.

    Addendum: The undistributed profit on the balance sheet in '08 is the undistributed profit of previous years + profit for the current year.

    The year-end carry-over of the year's profit includes two methods: the statement method and the account settlement method.

    In the case of the statement settlement method, at the end of each month, only the amount incurred in the current month and the accumulated balance at the end of the month are calculated for each profit and loss account, and the "profit for the year" account is not carried forward. However, at the end of each month, the total amount of the current month of the profit and loss account should be filled in the current month column of the income statement, and the accumulated balance at the end of the month should be filled in the current year's cumulative number column of the income statement, so as to reflect the profit (or loss) of each period through the income statement calculation.

    In the case of the account settlement method, a transfer voucher needs to be prepared at the end of each month, and the balance of each profit and loss account calculated on the account will be transferred to the "current year's profit" account, and the balance of the "current year's profit" account after the carry-over reflects the profit realized or the loss incurred in the current month.

    Among them, the balance is credited, and the accounting entries are: debited to the "Profit of the Year" account and credited to the "Profit Distribution - Undistributed Profit" account;

    The balance is debited (loss) and the accounting entries are: debited to the "Profit Distribution - Undistributed Profit" account and credited to the "Profit this year" account.

    After the current year's profit is carried forward, there should be no balance in the "This year's profit" account.
