I started a new job earlier this week and took over the job of the previous bookkeeper. I produced the VAT Return today but I've noticed there is a figure in box 9 that shouldn't be there. This figure has always been 0 looking at previous VAT Returns. I've clicked on the figure and it shows all the figures that make up this figure (if that makes sense ) was posted by the previous Bookkeeper as cash and the reference says multiple.
I'm sure it relates to petty cash that has been misposted but I'm having trouble finding these figures in the petty cash records. Is there any other way of finding out exactly what these figures are and how to put them back in the right place. I take it now I've already produced the VAT return that I can't change anything?
The job is going great thanks I've really settled in.
I've found out what the transactions were and it was petty cash misposted. Can this be corrected do you know by a journal? Or now that month end has been done can nothing be changed?
