Let's go
If you notice a discrepancy between the actual and target inventory during cash balancing, you must definitely investigate how this came about. Maybe you received a tip and forgot to enter it? Have suppliers been paid and the withdrawal of cash not yet recorded in the cashbook? Follow up with a correction entry to adjust the target stock in your cash register to the actual stock.
step by step
- First, create a new entry for spending or receiving cash as usual:
- It is about …
-
a correction?
Then you can use a wording like “Correction of incorrect entry ID xxx-yy, reason: miscounted change” in the comment field. -
a forgotten entry?
Then in the comment field you can, for example, enter a wording such as “Rescheduled entry from dd.mm.yyyy, xx:yy (date and time), payment of invoice from drinks supplier”.
-
a correction?
In the comment field, always describe as precisely as possible the reason why you are updating or correcting an entry. This makes life easier for your tax advisor and also makes it easier for the auditor to understand what happened, when and why.
