Accounting Information

The business uses the following specialised journals to record its business transactions:
• A Sales Journal is used to record the sale of inventory on credit during the month.
• A Cash Receipts Journal is used to record all cash received.
• A Cash Payments Journal is used to record all cash paid.
• A Purchases Journal is used to record all purchases of inventory on credit.
• A General Journal is used to record all other transactions. All invoices received for expenses incurred and owing are recorded in the general journal at the time of receiving the invoice. (Narrations are not required for general journal transactions.)

The business uses a general ledger, an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger and an accounts payable subsidiary ledger. The 4 column running balance form of ledger account is used.

The business does use a Sales Returns and Allowances account in the current manual system to record sales returns from customers. Note that there is no ability in our Quickbooks student version software to record Sales Returns separately. Instead the software will process a sales return as a reduction from Sales Revenue.

NOTE: There is an extra column in the ledger accounts to make a note of source document numbers etc. We do not have such information so you may leave this column blank.

Financial statements are prepared at the end of each month. The accounts are also closed off at the end of each month.

All necessary pro-formas are available on the Blackboard site and are to be used to complete the manual accounting practice set. Quick Books software is to be used to prepare computerised records in Part B to ensure they agree.
