The system of collecting and processing transactions or data and communicating financial information to interested parties is known as the accounting information system. The first step of the accounting process is to identify transactions and events that are to be recorded. Once identified and measured, the transactions and events are recorded to provide a permanent history of the financial activities of the organisation. Recording begins with a chronological record of transactions and events in an orderly and systematic manner in a journal. The next step is to transfer the journal information to the appropriate accounts in the ledger. (Note further steps in the recording process are discussed in chapter 3.) Tanya is incorrect. A debit balance only means that debit amounts exceed credit amounts in an account. Conversely, a credit balance only means that credit amounts are greater than debit amounts in an account. Thus, a debit or credit balance is neither favourable nor unfavourable. (a) (b) The entire group of accounts maintained by an entity company, including all the asset, liability, and equity accounts, is referred to collectively as the ledger. The chart of accounts is important, particularly for an entity that has a large number of accounts, because it helps organise the accounts, identify their location in the ledger and facilitate the recording process.

About Town Maintenance Services Ltd Trial Balance as at 30 June 2010 Debit Debit $ Credit $ Cash ($2,840 + $180) Accounts Receivable ($3,231 - $180) Supplies ($800 - $340) Equipment ($3,000 + $340) Accounts Payable ($2,666 - $260 - $206) 3,400 100 14,700 500 4,100 1,200 700 $22,300 $22,300 Explanation: The first number in the brackets is the balance as per the initial trial balance on page 129. The subsequent numbers are the corrections. Note that Cash should start in the debit and Revenue received in advance should start in the credit. Brief explanation of each error: 1. 2. $750 $570 = $180. Need to decrease Accounts Receivable by $180 and increase cash by $180 to correctly record the collection of $750 on account. Calculator should not be included in Supplies so decrease Supplies by $340. Calculators should be included in Equipment, so increase Equipment by $340. Rental Revenue needs to be adjusted upwards by $801 ($890 $89). Increase Salaries Expenses by $600. A payment on account should be debit to Accounts Payable. The amount of $260 was incorrectly credited. To correct this entry, the balance of Accounts Payable must be reduced by $260. To correctly record the payment of $206 on account, Accounts Payable is reduced further by $206. Need to reduce Salaries Expense by $550 and increase Dividends by $550.
