Terms of service.
Production of MONTHLY CASH BASIS Financial Statements for the previous month based on actual bank activity per bank statements submitted. These MONTHLY CASH BASIS Financial Statements can be stored in a binder and audited by a variety of compliance services [CDTFA), IRS, FTB] solely based on Client Bank Statements data. No Accounts Receivable nor Accounts Payable will be tracked. Most compliance reporting agencies will only look at cash basis accounting records. We serve potential audited clients, and those who report on a timely basis, provided we have access to the bank statements on a timely basis.
AUDITS
If you need to reconstruct prior year accounting records on a cash basis, send a 12-month set based on the calendar year.
PROCEDURES
We set up Excel with text, date, description, references, and checking and savings bank account currency columns to capture bank activity for income, costs, expenses, and routine monthly activity. Typically, dates, text descriptions, images, formulas, and currency data activities that take place routinely on a monthly basis as recurring are readied for the next month on a copy-and-paste basis to new tabs. Aside from the routine monthly entries, most currency activity is erased unless the amounts recur as well. A Bank Transfer Account is required to offset a double entry post for Debit and Credit sides that will equal zero in the total column.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Bank Statements will provide Check numbers, Bank references, and Amounts.
You will need to provide a typed list to identify Vendors, and Customers tied to activity on the bank statements to have them named in the Excel Sheets. All activity is posted in four sections:
- An Income, Other Deposits, Pensions, Sales, Gains, Buildings, etc., and other Asset funds section
- A Cost Section and Expense Section
- A Bank Reconciliation Section
- A formulated addition list to confirm and proof ending balances for each bank is listed in its own column as needed.
