your profit and loss account items also will be carried forward as profit (reserves) to balance sheet, take only the opening balances of balance sheet items, auditing standards has nothing to do with this

current assets will be treated as current assets and liabilities will be treated as liabilities, on the basis of their industrial cycle we will change into current or non current, no concept of defer will come

Closing Balance will be carried forward. Expense Account and Income Account will not be having any closing balance these accounts are closed by trasfering the balance to Trading And Profit & Losss Account. So, only Asset Accounts and Liability Accounts will be having balances unless settled.

Assets and Liabilities can be easily identified.
