The changes itemized above should not be entered into the accounting records of the business, unless you really want to change the entire system over to the cash basis permanently (which usually also requires the reconfiguration of the accounting software). Instead, enter these changes on an electronic spreadsheet, and manually calculate the revised financial results for the cash basis of accounting. Be sure to password-protect and backup this spreadsheet, in case it is ever called into question as part of a tax audit.
Also, be aware that the use of the cash basis for tax reporting purposes is limited by the IRS to smaller organizations that do not report any inventory at the end of their fiscal years. Consequently, do not engage in this conversion until you have researched whether the IRS will allow it for your tax reporting.
