Accounting Question

Dina, Since I'm in an argumentative mood I would have to disagree with
Rick.....your books are not correct without the entry. You did not have
the $46,000 in your cash account at the end of August. It certainly is
material......if it was $5 I wouldn't bother....you can do what you want
but I like it when the computer numbers match too! ......without the
'pencil' adjustments.



Matt

Dina-

Your accountant will understand. Just show the $46,800 as a "deposit in
transit" on your bank rec (manual I assume, as I do not use Vantage's
bank reconciliation) and explain. I agree with Ed, you should not/do
not need to adjust your books to reflect the bank's error (your books
are right and the banks books are wrong).



Thanks!



Rick Ludwig

Just because you have a reconciling item, doesn't make you wrong!

Take care.

Ed,

I merely want to adjust my books -- so when I close today - my g/l and

statement match. Right now - I show a variance of $5200.00 - I thought

You can look at this several ways, but in reality what you record as
cash is
merely a receivable from the bank, and likewise a liability on the
bank's
books. You collected the correct amount from the customer and the bank
screwed up (like that never happens) and owes you the $$$. In my
opinion
there is little difference, except the bank would not give immediate
access
to the funds until the error was discovered.

The bank error has been identified and corrected, why adjust your books
to
reflect the bank's error?

Personally I would not.

Don't do the -52000.00 until September but do the other two steps?

Okay here is another one of my dumb accounting questions.



I was reconciling my bank statement for the month of August when I
noticed
the bank incorrectly added a deposit.



Instead of $52000.00 they entered $5200.00 (just a little difference)
Anyways, how do I handle this in Vantage.



They difference will not be added until September the original money was
added in August.



I thought of doing the following;



In my bank rec;

Add a Bank Adjustment for -$52000.00 against a/r (August Fiscal)

Add another Bank Adj. for for $5200.00 against a/r (August Fiscal) This
will
allow me to clear the amount of the deposit the bank and balance with
the
bank.



Add a Bank Adjustment Group for the Fiscal period of September for the
amount of $46,800.00; this should allow me to balance next month.



But will this make my a/r aging and receivables be off?



Is there another way to do this?







Have a Nice Day,

You have the right idea Dina......just don't use the trade AR account
use some AR Misc or AR Other instead.

Add another Bank Adj. for for $5200.00 against a/r (August Fiscal) This will
allow me to clear the amount of the deposit the bank and balance with the

Add a Bank Adjustment Group for the Fiscal period of September for the
amount of $46,800.00; this should allow me to balance next month.



But will this make my a/r aging and receivables be off?



Is there another way to do this?

You can look at this several ways, but in reality what you record as cash is
merely a receivable from the bank, and likewise a liability on the bank's
books. You collected the correct amount from the customer and the bank
screwed up (like that never happens) and owes you the $$$. In my opinion
there is little difference, except the bank would not give immediate access
to the funds until the error was discovered.

The bank error has been identified and corrected, why adjust your books to
reflect the bank's error?

Personally I would not.

Okay here is another one of my dumb accounting questions.



I was reconciling my bank statement for the month of August when I noticed
the bank incorrectly added a deposit.



Instead of $52000.00 they entered $5200.00 (just a little difference)
Anyways, how do I handle this in Vantage.



They difference will not be added until September the original money was
added in August.



I thought of doing the following;



In my bank rec;

Add a Bank Adjustment for -$52000.00 against a/r (August Fiscal)

Add another Bank Adj. for for $5200.00 against a/r (August Fiscal) This will

Dina:

I am in agreement with Ed, there is nothing you need to do in
Vantage so long as you recorded the initial deposit correctly. Your
books are correct. Simply note the difference of $46,800 on your
bank reconciliation for the month as a "Bank Deposit Error". Next
month the reconciling item should be taken off the bank
reconciliation, the bank will fix "Their" error, and you will be
back in balance with the bank. That's provided they don't make any
more mistakes.

Dina-

Your accountant will understand. Just show the $46,800 as a "deposit in
transit" on your bank rec (manual I assume, as I do not use Vantage's
bank reconciliation) and explain. I agree with Ed, you should not/do
not need to adjust your books to reflect the bank's error (your books
are right and the banks books are wrong).



Thanks!



Rick Ludwig

Okay here is another one of my dumb accounting questions.



I was reconciling my bank statement for the month of August when I
noticed
the bank incorrectly added a deposit.



Instead of $52000.00 they entered $5200.00 (just a little difference)
Anyways, how do I handle this in Vantage.



They difference will not be added until September the original money was
added in August.



I thought of doing the following;



In my bank rec;

Add a Bank Adjustment for -$52000.00 against a/r (August Fiscal)

Add another Bank Adj. for for $5200.00 against a/r (August Fiscal) This
will
allow me to clear the amount of the deposit the bank and balance with
the
bank.



Add a Bank Adjustment Group for the Fiscal period of September for the
amount of $46,800.00; this should allow me to balance next month.



But will this make my a/r aging and receivables be off?



Is there another way to do this?

Just because you have a reconciling item, doesn't make you wrong!

Take care.

Ed,

I merely want to adjust my books -- so when I close today - my g/l and bank
statement match. Right now - I show a variance of $5200.00 - I thought my
accountant would frown upon this....

You can look at this several ways, but in reality what you record as cash is
merely a receivable from the bank, and likewise a liability on the bank's
books. You collected the correct amount from the customer and the bank
screwed up (like that never happens) and owes you the $$$. In my opinion
there is little difference, except the bank would not give immediate access
to the funds until the error was discovered.

The bank error has been identified and corrected, why adjust your books to
reflect the bank's error?

Personally I would not.

I'm a little slow today -- the coffee has not settled in.

Are you saying

Don't do the -52000.00 until September but do the other two steps?

I would just carry it as a reconciling item until September.

Okay here is another one of my dumb accounting questions.



I was reconciling my bank statement for the month of August when I noticed
the bank incorrectly added a deposit.



Instead of $52000.00 they entered $5200.00 (just a little difference)
Anyways, how do I handle this in Vantage.



They difference will not be added until September the original money was
added in August.



I thought of doing the following;



In my bank rec;

Add a Bank Adjustment for -$52000.00 against a/r (August Fiscal)

Add another Bank Adj. for for $5200.00 against a/r (August Fiscal) This will
allow me to clear the amount of the deposit the bank and balance with the
bank.



Add a Bank Adjustment Group for the Fiscal period of September for the
amount of $46,800.00; this should allow me to balance next month.



But will this make my a/r aging and receivables be off?



Is there another way to do this?







Have a Nice Day,
