I appreciate the template and the explanations-so clear-now I understand
As a chartered accountant I recall how tricky this concept was to master when I was starting off. Wish I had this explanation when I was a student as is so well explained 😊

Hello, I understood better but I have one question. you told us that accrual forwards is taken to the credit side but in the last question, you took it into the Debit side so the amount went to PL it's accrued or prepayments. I am confused in the last question
Thank you sir

I noticed you expenses for the prepayment which not wrong.but doing this requires reversing entry.but if we did record the entry as prepayment we would pass an adjusting entry. Plus. elaborate on this further.

Hi there, I'm showing the simple impact on the PL and balance sheet--yes, there are the reversing entries but I didn't go there in this introductory video
I just can't get this concept into my head. I still got the question wrong at the end and worked it out to be $5300 because I thought the amount carried forward would need to be subtracted in order to work out the amount going into the P&L account🤥

Give it another try. Closing Prepay: added too much to the PL. Closing Accrual: Didn't add enough.
Reconciling item of 200 in credit of rent expense should be revesed and move to prepayment account as a b/f.

Correct! This video is an intro to the concepts.
thank you for this. but what about reversals? many thanks
@SteveWillisACCA

hey there! That final balancing figure in the Receivables or Payables T-account is the start of the reversal. The corresponding debit/credit goes to the balance sheet and completes the reversal. E.g. Closing Prepaid expense: DEBIT Current asset : CREDIT Expense. I showed the credit part in the video.
But finally understood after repeating 20times

@@SteveWillisACCA the question is as follows sir the opening balance of a bank account is 1000 cr and the closing balance 1000 dr and they give the answer as 2000dr i assumed that they used closing balance - opening balance to calculate the movement of the account but I'm not confident about it gives the answer but I don't know the meaning

It was really good sir but the income account was a little confusing...
@SteveWillisACCA
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, that is the tricky part of this. The main idea is that the income account is a mirror of the expense account. So you DEBIT cash CREDIT income. In the expense account, it's DEBIT expense CREDIT Cash. Sleep on it and come back again, after you've tried some questions and I think it will make sense.
