- Different types of transactions that may need to be captured include: purchase orders placed for goods or services; payments made (in full or in part); bank statements; balance sheets; cash flow statements; payables due dates etcetera.
- All of this data should be carefully documented and kept up to date so that it can form the basis for future strategic planning decisions.
- Errors during this process could lead to major complications down the road which would more than likely require corrective action – something you would want to avoid at all costs!
- During this time, all business activities should be tracked and recorded so that accurate expenses and income can be calculated and reported. This includes items such as sales, profit/losses, asset values (including liabilities), payroll records (if applicable), user data entries/updates, etc.
- Once all these data points have been collected, they need to be reconciled against the company’s budgeted figures in order to determine whether there has been any overspending or underfunding of resources during the course of the Fiscal Year.
- All relevant information needs to be carefully documented so that it can easily become accessible if audit requests arise in future years.
