Help!!!! I've at last managed to persuade somebody to let me have a go at their old books, which I have agreed to do for free to prove I am capable and with a view to doing the upto date ones and getting a practice license when I have some work.
I'm starting to think I shouldn't have bothered. There is no balance sheet or TP&L, I've no idea of any Capital. There are not many statements from suppliers although it looks as if all the supplier invoices are filed in date order. The bank statements have all been ticked as if they've been reconciled BUT there are several items marked LY, as in last year, how do I know if they've been included? Although some look to be goods supplied on account and paid at the end of the month.
I've asked how the books are done at the moment, the reply was "on the computer" after a bit of probing it seems a spreadsheet of ins and outs is all that's being done. I've asked if I can have a copy just out of interest, he's thinking about it.
I just don't know where to start. I was hoping to use Excel but I think I'm going to go manual.
Any help extremely welcome.
Andrea
