Shortfall between expenses and bank...
Permalink Closed


Hi there

I'm just putting a journal through for expenses...

DR Motor Exp -  CR Director Loan

and there's a difference between the expenses and the money drawn of £ 149.39 (owing from bank to D/Loan)

Any pointers on what to do here as jounal obviously has to balance!

 

Many Thanks.

Don't see the problem.

You have the perfect double entry between DLA & Motor expenses

The double entry between the bank and DLA is quite seperate and you just have a current situation where £149.39 is still owed to the director whereas the rest of the money has already come out of the DLA and Bank.

The outstanding DLA just sits in the books until taken by the director... Similar to the treatment of use of home (if that makes sense).

HTH,

Shaun.

Thanks Shamus...

This business is being closed (I'm trying to provide final figures).
As you rightly say, the bank does owe the director... so what's the best way of dealing with the amaount owing please?

Many thanks.

If the business is closing then the director should take the money from the company that is owed to them which will reduce the DLA to zero.

Have words with the director about their intentions as from your perspective as you rightly identify you can only record what has happened and not what their intention is to happen at some stage in the future.

Until the money is taken all that can be done is for it to remain in the DLA.

HTH,

Shaun.

Thank you Shamus... It will have to just sit there...

Have been provided with hardly any source documents... so it is proving difficult...

Thanks again.
