END OF FINANCIAL YEAR

This event does need to be planned for. If you have  problems understanding any steps, sort them out now. The timing is very important.

 

Check with your accountant they have a standard list.

Use the Standard End of Year  Spreadsheet

We do not have time to sort out disasters because accounts are not correct ant the checklist has not been followed..

Restores

As a suggestion, backup the live data and restore the data to another folder,

Bad Debts

Write of your bad debts before the end of the financial year. This is a Credit note in debtors to the Bad Debts Account in the expense section of the General ledger. You pay tax on your Debtors Aged balance total. GST is claimed on the Bad Debt. 

If the debt is recovered this is an Invoice in debtors to the Bad Debts Recovered Account in the income section of the General ledger. GST is paid on the Bad Debts Recovered.

 

Please email us for our advice or spreadsheets.

Debtors unable to meet payment terms?  Create a Financing statement on the PPSR.
