CHAPTER 7
ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
SOLUTIONS
1. ‘Accountants should not concern themselves too much with elaborate administrative and
accounting controls in an internal control system, since any such system is only as good as
the human element in the system.’ Do you agree? Explain your answer.
The primary role of internal control is to safeguard the assets of the entity against waste,
fraud, inefficiency and incompetence. Cash, being a liquid asset, is very susceptible to
robbery and fraud; therefore, safeguarding cash requires stringent internal control procedures.
Clearly established lines of responsibility and separation of duties are important (see text p.
286).
People, being naturally ingenious, often try to outsmart the system, and sometimes succeed;
but a good internal control system should detect whenever there has been a breakdown in
procedures, or collusion between employees. Employing competent staff to carry out internal
control procedures is vital. However, the cost of a good internal control system may exceed
the benefits, both economic and social, of having such a system; hence, costs and benefits
must be carefully considered in the system’s design phase to ensure adequate but not
excessive internal control procedures. Accountants should concern themselves to the point
where they consider controls in an internal control system adequate. It is impossible to
establish the ‘perfect control system’.
2. What is an internal control system? Discuss the principles involved in establishing a good
internal control system. Discuss also the limitations of internal control systems.
3. ‘In a system which uses several special journals, it is not necessary to have a general
journal.’ Do you agree? Explain.
In a system with several special journals, the need for a general journal remains to account for
any unusual transactions or events which cannot be catered for by any of the special journals.
Furthermore, the general journal is required for recording adjusting and closing entries.
Different special journals may be omitted from an entity’s accounting system, but the general
journal is always needed. In a sophisticated computerised accounting system, the general
journal may be the only journal needed. Such a general journal will provide a chronological
record of all transactions and events as they affect the entity.
4. During the month of October, credit sales for a business actually amounted to $963 534.
However, an error of $10 000 had been made in totalling the sales column of the sales
journal. When and how will this error be discovered?
The error would be detected at the end of the month when cross-adds are performed in the
sales journal. The total of the sales column and GST Payable column (credit columns) should
equal the total of the accounts receivable column (debit), which would then be posted to the
Accounts Receivable control account. If the error is not detected at this point, ultimately, the
unadjusted trial balance of the general ledger at the end of the month will be out of balance by
$10 000. The control account and subsidiary ledger balances will also not agree at the end of
the month and the error could be flagged by this disagreement.
5. Identify the major sources of cash receipts recorded in a cash receipts journal. Identify the
major transactions which involve cash payments in the cash payments journal.
The major sources of cash receipts are cash sales, the collection of accounts receivable from
customers, investments of capital by owners, sale of non-current assets and bank loans. The
major transactions involving cash payments are cash purchases of inventories, payment of
accounts payable, payments for various expenses including wages and taxes, and repayment
of bank loans.
6. An inventory purchase on credit of $10 000 plus GST was correctly recorded in the purchases
journal of a business. However, when postings were made to the accounts payable in the
subsidiary ledger, the purchase was incorrectly recorded as $1100; however, the correct
amount was posted to the inventory subsidiary ledger. When and how will this error be
discovered?
The amount that should have been posted to the accounts payable subsidiary ledger is $11
000. This error, which is called a ‘slide’, can be discovered in a couple of ways
1. The balance of the Accounts Payable Control account at the end of the period will
not agree with the total of the schedule of accounts payable subsidiary ledger
accounts.
2. It may be discovered very quickly (!) by paying the incorrect amount owing to the
particular creditor, who no doubt will query the size of the amount paid.
7. Critically examine the following remark: ‘By having the post ref. column in all of the special
journals, the recording process is slowed down, and too much unnecessary detail is provided
for very little purpose’.
An audit trail is necessary to ensure the completeness of the accounting records, and to
safeguard the composition of an entity’s assets and liabilities. Discuss with the class the need
for all businesses to provide an audit trail in order to trace the flow of all source documents
and transactions into the accounting records. The post ref column is extremely important in
that it represents the audit trail in the journals and ledgers.
8. Explain the treatment of sales returns and allowances and purchases returns and allowances
in special journals, under both the periodic and perpetual inventory systems. How would
these items be recorded on an inventory record in the subsidiary ledger? Why?
Unless an entity has many sales returns and purchases returns, enough to require the
establishment of special journals, such transactions are dealt with adequately in the general
journal, as illustrated in the demonstration problem p. 310 (periodic inventory system) to this
chapter.
Under a perpetual inventory system, two general journal entries are necessary for sales
returns, and one entry is necessary for purchases returns, as illustrated in Chapter 6, figure
6.10, p. 254. As illustrated in figure 6.10, sales returns are recorded as negative sales in that
the inventory returned to the entity is then placed back into inventory if the goods are not
faulty. Likewise, purchases returns are recorded as negative purchases in that the Inventory
account is credited and Accounts Payable is debited. The reason for such treatment in the
perpetual inventory inventory is so that the inventory records allow the entity to calculate the
correct net purchases and correct cost of sales for that inventory item. Further discussion of
this treatment is provided in Chapter 19 (AIA9e) and Chapter 14 (FAIA9e).
9. Which journal(s) would be used to record the following transactions? The business is
registered for GST.
(a) The introduction of cash and office equipment by the owner on establishment of the
business.
(b) The cash payment of rent in advance.
(c) The purchase of inventory on credit.
(d) The purchase of office supplies on credit.
(e) The sale of inventory on credit.
(f) The sale of some pieces of office equipment on credit.
(g) The collection of cash from a customer.
(h) The return of part of the inventory purchased previously on credit from a supplier.
(i) The adjusting entry for rent which is still prepaid at the end of the accounting period.
(j) The adjusting entry for unused office supplies.
(k) The closing entry for expenses at the end of the period.
(a) cash receipts journal for the cash, and the general journal for the office equipment
(b) cash payment journal
(c) purchases journal
(d) general journal; however, if a multipurpose purchases journal exists, as shown in figure
7.6 p. 295, the multipurpose purchases journal would be used
(e) sales journal
(f) general journal
(g) cash receipts journal
(h) general journal, or purchases returns journal if one exists
(i) general journal
(j) general journal
(k) general journal
10. ‘Since nearly all accounting functions today are computerised, there is really no need for
accountants to have an understanding of manual accounting systems.’ Do systems designers
need to understand manual accounting systems? Discuss.
Despite the growth in demand for computerised accounting packages being used in business,
there is always demand for students and accountants who have an underlying basic
accounting knowledge. For example, to understand how MYOB, Quick Books and other
computerised packages work, you need to understand the basic workings of a manual
accounting system (on which these computerised programs are modelled). Manual accounting
systems studied in introductory accounting courses form the basis for understanding
accounting and the financial reporting process. For this reason the study of manual systems is
paramount to understanding basic business transactions and the associated practice. As
indicated in the chapter, computerised accounting systems make extensive use of control
accounts/subsidiary ledgers, and adapt the principles underlying special journals.

Bush Basher Bikes sells off road motorbikes on both a credit and cash basis. They stock a full range
of spare parts and accessories. The business also employs a full-time mechanic who carries out
servicing and repairs on motorbikes — those sold by Bush Basher Bikes as well as those purchased
from other suppliers.
Prenumbered invoices are issued for all sales and services provided. Terms are strictly n/30 and no
discounts are offered. Total revenues last financial year amounted to $820 000 — $680 000 from the
sale of motorbikes, $42 000 for parts and accessories, and $98 000 for servicing and repairs. All
receipts are banked daily, and a petty cash system is in operation. Cash discounts are offered by all
suppliers, and the business ensures that all discounts on offer are taken. All payments are made by
online bank transfers with frequent payments made to suppliers, transport companies for delivery
costs on purchases, sponsorships and advertising. The mechanic is paid on every second Friday. The
office manager is paid an annual salary for managing the office, and for performing the manual
accounting duties.
The business currently has a manual system of accounting using special journals and subsidiary
ledgers. Rev Head, the owner of Bush Basher Bikes, is considering implementing a tried and tested
integrated accounting package.
Required
A. Identify the subsidiary ledger or ledgers that would be used in the current system.
B. Identify the special journals that would be appropriate in the current system, and suggest
appropriate columns that would be used in each of them.
C. Should a computer-based accounting system be implemented? Explain the reasons for your
decision.

C. Rev head should utilise a computer-based accounting system like MYOB. The business has
sufficient turnover, i.e. total revenue of $820 000 from three major business activities. The
business also has a high volume of transactions. Banking is done daily and all payments are
made by online bank transfers. A computerised accounting system can include the
requirement for a password, or passwords, to be entered before payments can be made. Rev
head can also set up a system of electronic payments. Such systems will assist greatly in
recording and accounting for GST.
The total income, the distinct three business activities and the volume of transactions would
easily justify the implementation of a computerised accounting system. This will speed up the
record-keeping process and assist in preparing financial statements. It will also help in the
review of the accounts for audit or tax preparation purposes. The relatively low cost of the
computer software will also make it economical for the business to implement such a system.
Ravilero Ltd uses the periodic inventory system and has control accounts and subsidiary ledgers for
trade receivables and payables. The general ledger control account balances at 1 June 2016 were:
Required
Prepare the accounts receivable control and accounts payable control ledger accounts for the month
of June 2016.
You are the person responsible for the accounts payable ledger of Cameron Ltd. You are concerned
that the statement of account for the month ending 30 June 2016 received from Deveson Ltd does not
agree with the records shown for Deveson Ltd in the accounts payable subsidiary ledger. As a valued
customer of Deveson Ltd, Cameron Ltd receives a trade discount of 5% off the marked price of all
goods purchased. In addition, a 2% discount is allowed for payments made within 10 days of the
statement date. Ignore GST.
Deveson Ltd records all sales to Cameron Ltd net of trade discount. The statement dated 30 June
shows that Cameron Ltd owes $19 680 to Deveson Ltd. An examination of the account of Deveson Ltd
in the subsidiary ledger and other records reveals the following discrepancies:
1. Because of a clerical error, the credit side of the account of Deveson Ltd had been overstated by
$585.
2. The cash discount of $660, which had been deducted when making the May payment, had been
disallowed by Deveson Ltd because the payment was received more than 10 days after the
statement date.
3. Invoice no. D443 for a gross amount (before trade discount) of $820 had been entered on the
statement twice.
4. Invoice no. D452 for a gross amount (before trade discount) of $1080 had been correctly entered
on the statement but no records of the invoice had been recorded in the books of Cameron Ltd
even though the goods had been received.
5. Invoice no. D587 for $150 had been incorrectly debited on the statement as $510, and this invoice
had not been entered in the purchases journal or the subsidiary ledger as the goods had not yet
been received.
6. Adjustment (credit) note no. C321 for $125 received from Deveson Ltd had not been entered in
the subsidiary ledger, and had been entered on the statement as an invoice.
Required
Prepare a reconciliation memo which reconciles the amount owing on the statement of account from
Deveson Ltd to the amount which Cameron Ltd actually owes at 30 June. Assuming that payment will
be made on 9 July 2016, what is the amount of interbank transfer to Deveson Ltd’s bank account to
pay the amount owing?
The amount of the interbank transfer to Deveson Ltd should be $18 155 less 2% discount ($363.10) =
$17 791.90.

CHAPTER II
TREMATODA
The mouth is invariably present just beneath the anterior end of the
body. It leads into a muscular, pumping pharynx (Fig. 24, ph), and
this into a bifurcated intestine which ends blindly. The two openings
of the excretory system lie on the dorsal surface (as in
Temnocephala), and the excretory canals branch through the
substance of the body, ending usually in "flame-cells." The nervous
system is highly developed, and resembles that of Temnocephala
(Fig. 21) in detail. Upon the brain one or even two pairs of eye-spots
are present in the larvae, and may persist throughout life. Tactile
setae occur in Sphyranura, a parasite of the North American
Amphibian Necturus, but a cellular epidermis is apparently rendered
impossible, perhaps from the nature of the mucus in which the body
is bathed, or to the attempts of the host to free itself from these
parasites; and hence an investing membrane is present, which
morphologically is either a modified epithelium, or a cuticle formed
by the glandular secretion of the parenchyma.
Diplozoon paradoxum lays its eggs on the gills of the Minnow, which
it frequently infests in great numbers. The ovum divides rapidly at the
expense of the yolk-cells, and in a fortnight a larva (.2 mm. long) of
the shape and complexity shown in Fig. 27, B, hatches out, which,
however, succumbs if it does not meet with a Minnow in five or six
hours. Should it survive, a dorsal papilla, a median ventral sucker,
and a second pair of posterior suckers develop. Thus the Diporpa
stage is attained. These Diporpa may acquire a third and even a
fourth pair of suckers, and continue to live three months, but they
only develop and mature their reproductive organs, if each
conjugates with another Diporpa (Fig. 27, C, D), and this only occurs
in a small percentage of instances. Each grasps the dorsal papilla of
the other by its own ventral sucker, thus undergoing a certain
amount of torsion. Where the two bodies touch, complete fusion
occurs, and, as shown in Fig. 28, the united Diporpa (or Diplozoon,
as the product is now called) decussate, each forming one limb of
the X-shaped Diplozoon, within which the two sets of complex
genitalia develop (Fig. 28).
