OK, thanks for the reply .

I thought adjustment entries like these had to be closed before the start of next accounting year

So that is why the confusion ,

If that is not the case what exactly are closing entries ?

Every adjustment entry is not a closing entry, only year end adjustment entry is closing entry.

Adjustment entry prepare at year end as per Accural Base of Accounting
