Late Invoices
Permalink Closed


Hi hope someone can help!

I have finalised my clients book-keeping and passed a sage backup onto their accountant for the year ending 30 June.

Since then I have been given more paperwork but there are a few late purchase receipts dated before June 2010 but paid in July/Aug 2010.

A year end has not been done on sage yet. 

My question is do I really need to date these eg 1 July 2010 or wait until the year end is closed and then post dated the invoice dates eg June 2010.

Thanks

If you have given the accountant all the year end stuff, personally I wouldn't post anything else dated June. Your best bet, though, is to have a word with the accountant, s/he may not have done any work on the backup you sent yet (they don't always start straight away) and if this is the case you could enter them with the correct dates and send a further backup.

I would not enter them onto sage. I would do the Sage year end and enter the invoices as the 1st of the month in the new year.

Speak to the accountant and arrange for copies to be sent over to them. The accountant will treat these as afterdate Invoices and make the relevant adjustments in the year end accounts to account for them.

Then once the accounts are done, the accountant should provide you with some year end adjustments to post onto sage as of the 1st of the month in the new year so that those additional expenses do not get counted in the new year.

hope that makes sense.
