Accrual question
Permalink Closed


I'm doing the bookkeeping for a company and the final accounts for 2009-10 show an a accrual of £1410 for the accountant's fee.

However, the bill as received and paid in November 2010 was for a different amount, £1034.

I'm wondering what to do about the difference. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Ruth,

The difference will simply sort itself out. Post the accrual to accountancy, and post the bill to accountancy. It will look like a credit of £376. However, you will then need to enter the next period's provision for accountancy.

Just a thought, is it possible that the £1,410 included an element for your services?

Thank you!

No, there were other accruals which included my fee so it wasn't that. I don't like not tidying things up - as you say, there is the £376 sat there at the moment - but now that you've said it, it's obvious that it will sort itself out.

Thanks again,

Ruth
