Journal Descriptions

Are there any guidelines (anywhere) as to what description/detail to write when posting journals on Sage (or anywhere for that matter)

In the dim distant past when I spent a few months working in Practice straight from uni, the firm did have 'set' descriptions but I've long since forgotten them.  Since then I've followed what has gone before but  now I'm in a new company, a start up business and we're just closing our year end so posting Accruals/Prepayments/Depreciation journals etc and whilst I've written what I think is logical I wondered if there were any prescribed descriptions.

Thanks.

Hi Sanfio,

None whatsoever, so go for it. Tradition dictates that they narrative begins with "Being..." and the debit usually comes first, but that's about it.
