Accruals...

What is it...?

When entering purchase invoices I choose "stock" which is under expense group. I notice when looking at accounts that these are also entered in Accruals, just not sure what that is ?

Hi Adrian,

Accruals are usually costs you have incurred but haven't paid for yet. The default set of accounts doesn't include an accruals account so I suspect your bookkeeper has added this account. I recommend you ask him/her what the purpose of the account is in your case.

Hmm....Someone did set up the file for us but we have stated a new business file.

We do not have any need for accruals as we pay for everything (stock) there and then. So how do I get rid of this "account" and will it have any effect on anything else we have done?

Cheers

Adrian
