Hi Everyone, 

I have only been bookkeepiing since October last year. 

Before that time I had never done it before and it isn't my sole occupation, my husband

is self employed. There is only him, no employees.

I have all receipts and the correct paperwork for the time period but I have made a catastrophic mistake.

I haven't banked the takings so there is no record of them.

I have obviously started to do this now I have myself organised but I am still 3 months adrift.

Any advice ???????

If the money was not banked you still have the invoices / receipts associated with the payments.

You will not be able to reconcile those but you will be able to allocate the invoice amounts as expenses, etc. for which you have receipts and where there are more invoices than unallocated expenses then if he is self employed puyt to takings and if a limited company put to directors loan account.

The other alternative is that you now bank all of the money taken and restart properly.

Either method will yield the same results.

There you go, not so catasptrophic as it first looked.... I hope. The key here is having invoices or other evidence of income in the absence of a bank record of the payments receieved.

kind regards,

Shaun.
