The accountant has sent a year end journal entry and has included a couple of items for which they have not suggested codes.
Would someone please suggest codes for the followinmg;

Corporation Tax prior year end adjustment 
Directors remuneration (P/L)  
Dividends 

I guess the Dividends would be part of the Reserves 3100.

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi Briane,

Well in the existing system I am working on at clients just now they use the following:

Corporation Tax 2320
Directors Remuneration 7002
Dividends 7003      

Just remember if you are setting up new codes to make sure you enter them into the Chart of Accounts also otherwise the P&L & Balance Sheet reports will be incorrect.

Thanks Marilyn

The Corporation Tax 2320 does exist in the nominal ledger but they seem to want a different one for the 
CT prior year adjustment.

I'll certainly look at the other suggstions. Interesting you have Dividends as 7003.

Thanks for the remoinder about the COA, I have made that mistake before!!

Hi Briane,

Having had time at home to think about your dividend query I have come up with the solution! (courtesy of Sage!)
I had a feeling that the code 7003 was not right but that is how the client's Sage was setup (not by me!).
Hope this helps!

Hi Marilyn
Thank you very much indeed for that very full reply. A lot of work, above and beyond!!!
The Dividend scenario makes much more sense that the 7003 code.

I'm sure that with a combination of your answers I can produce the correct codes in the Journal.

Thaks again, enjoy the sunshine!

 Hi there

I have read your comments regarding the chart of accounts issue. This is new info. to me as I did not realise this that to get accurate reports you need to make changes to COA. Can any of you please advise how can I do this as I tried to do this and I just struggled to go round this and messed up the whole thing. My nominal codes are fine but can not print accurate reports? Some detailed answer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Go to nominals - at the top you have "Chart of Accounts" - click on that, click edit and it will fetch up the COA in PNL and BS format - at the top it will give you an option "check" - run that and it will show you which nominals are not featured in the PNL - you can then correct the to show correctly.
