The ever fast moving business environment, has caused many to seek efficiency through
automation and the clever selling techniques by vendors of accounting packages, has led most organizations to abandon hard cover analysis books prematurely
and opt for soft ware accounting system to which to their dismay are wondering
why it cannot generate the information that they need.
These software packages are greatly underutilized
because most organization didn’t understand the fundamental principles of the analysis
book.
An analysis book is a good part
of an accounting system and if properly designed to capture information, can
help shape the way source documents like receipts, vouchers and invoice are
written, prepared and filed.
From the analysis book one can
know so much about how the business is running which is very critical for
planning.
There is always a disparity
between the financial statements of an organization and the analysis book format
which shouldn’t be that case, given the fact that financial statements are prepared largely from analysis books.
An analysis book may not closely
follow the standard accounting principles which is why organizations will differ
in how they design their analysis books to fulfill their management objectives.
That being said, the analysis book format should not violate the core
accounting principle otherwise it will cease to serve its purpose of
meaningfully reporting events that have transpired in the enterprise or
organization.
Any organization thinking of
automation or buying accounting software, should first of all understand the
principles of the analysis book , tailor one for its self then upgrade its
accounting system by automation.
An analysis book will capture receipts
and payments and classify these incomes or expenditures in such a way that it
reconciles easily with your budget and strategic plan. The concept of the
analysis book will help an organization design meaningful budget lines,
differentiate capital expenditures from current expenditures as transactions
are taking place in real time as well as showing you your cash flows and what
money is at hand and at bank at any one time (t).
Developing a format in the
analysis book is not quite that simple and JW & PARTNERS helps entities in
