In a case where there’s prior year overvaluation of inventory, for instance £10,000 of goods sold were included in the closing inventory.
Can I know what are journal entries needed for the adjustment?

In last year’s records, increase cost of sales and therefore reduce profit for last year
That gives a reduced figure for retained earnings carried forward into this year and a corresponding reduced figure for inventory carried forward into this year
OK?
