    Dear John Moffat,

    Could you please kindly provide examples for below situations::

    6 Adjustments to profit

    The correction journal may result in a change in profit, depending on whether the journal debits or credits the statement of profit or loss:

    1-

    Dr Statement of financial position account
    Cr Statement of financial position account

    No impact on profit

    2-

    Dr Profit or loss account
    Cr Profit or loss account

    No impact on profit

    3-

    Dr Profit or loss account
    Cr Statement of financial position account

    Profit decreases

    4-

    Dr Statement of financial position account
    Cr Profit or loss account

    Profit increases

    and what does the below part exactly means:

    “For this purpose the suspense account is defined as a statement of financial position account.”

    Thanks in advance for your kind support.

    There are examples of those in the free lecture on adjustments to profit.

    I don’t know where you got that quote at the end from. What it means is that you would show the suspense account in the Statement of financial position.
    However it is not a ‘real’ account at all – having a balance on the suspense account means that there are errors that need correcting. Once they are corrected there will be no balance to show anywhere 🙂
    It really depends on the context in which that quote occurred.

    You need to calculate what the correct profit is after adjusting/changing for the mistakes.

    You should watch the lecture on adjustment to profit which explains it all with an example.
