Control Accounts
Muhtasari
A business with hundreds of credit customers keeps hundreds of individual accounts in its sales ledger. Checking every single one for posting errors would take days. A control account answers the same question in one calculation: does the total owed by all those customers, calculated independently, agree with the sum of the individual balances?
In this lesson you will learn why control accounts are prepared, and how to prepare a trade receivables control account and a trade payables control account that reconcile to their respective ledgers.
Malengo
- Explain the purpose of control accounts
- Prepare a trade receivables control account and a trade payables control account
