o reliable financial reporting
o effective and efficient operations
o safeguard assets against theft and unauthorized use
o compliance with applicable laws and regulations
• It eliminates the possibilities of fraud and theft
• It promotes operational efficiency
Internal control procedures may include:
1. Division of duties (one employee serves as a check on another) ...
o is important for those activities involving authorization, ordering and receiving of goods / assets, and
recordkeeping
o creates a system of checks and balances as different individuals perform different functions in the
same process
o Example: The same person, responsible for the record keeping of stock should not be responsible for
the physical control of stock

2. Proper authorization of transactions / proper signatures on all documents (where applicable)


o Some transactions need the authority / at least two signatures / approval of a senior staff member(s)
o Payments made by EFT or from the petty cash have to be properly authorised by at least two
signatories to avoid fraud / theft
o It ensures that all business activities adhere to established guidelines
o Example: The order for stock may not be placed unless it is signed by the stock manager.

3. Accurate documentation & proper recording procedures


o Correct documents and the recording thereof provide evidence and a paper trail that correct
procedures were followed and that financial statements are accurate
o Example: Invoices, receipts, proof of payments, debit notes, credit notes, etc. that are easy to
use, that capture sufficient information about transactions and are pre-numbered for easy filing and
retrieval must be in use on a daily basis with the interactions with customers and suppliers.
4. Safeguarding of records and restricted access / Physical control measures of asset items
o Physical control over assets and records helps protect the business assets
o Examples: electronic or mechanical controls (a safe, ID cards, fences, cash registers, fireproof
files, locks, clock cards for timing employees paid per hour or day, etc.) AND/OR
computerised controls (scanners, bar coding, etc) dealing with access privileges or
establishing backup and recovery procedures for business data
5. Independent checks by internal auditors or senior employee
o Independent checks can be made on performance by someone who did not do the work him-/herself
o It ensure the reliability of accounting information and the efficiency of operations
o Example: a supervisor verifies the accuracy of a retail clerk's cash drawer at the end of the day
Internal auditors may also verify that the supervisor performed the check of the cash drawer

GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES [GAAP]
GAAP refers to:
• a framework of guidelines for financial accounting;
• standards and rules accountants follow in recording / summarizing transactions;
• standards and procedures to be followed in the preparation of financial statements;

Generally accepted principles in accounting:


Business Entity • It provides that the accounting for a business be kept separate from the personal affairs of
its owner, or from any other business or organization
• The owner of a business should not place any personal assets on the business balance
sheet
• The balance sheet of the business must only reflect the financial position of the business
• Also, when transactions of the business are recorded, any personal expenditures of the
owner are charged to the owner and are not allowed to affect the operating results of the
business.

Going concern • It assumes that a business will continue to operate in the foreseeable future
Historical Cost • It entails that the purchase of assets must be recorded at their cost price in the books of
the business.
• This is the amount that appears on the source document for the transaction.
• Assets are valued at this original cost price in financial statements.

Prudence • Accountants should be conservative when preparing financial statements.


• Income or assets should not be overstated, nor should expenses or liabilities be
understated in the records.
Matching • It states that expenses linked to the income it helped to earn, should be recorded in the
same accounting period, even if the income has not been received or the expense paid
yet.
Materiality • It requires accountants to include meaningful information in detail in financial statements.
• Meaningless or less meaningful information should only be excluded to shorten or de-
clutter financial statements and inform the reader in an organised manner
• The 'meaning' (usefulness) of information will be based on the impact it will have (or not
have) on the accuracy of the financial statements.

• In Gr 10 - 12 Accounting CHEQUES will be replaced by Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs) as a method


of payment made by the business.
• As bookkeepers have to keep a 'paper trail' for auditing purposes, EFTs will be numbered for easy filing
and retrieving purposes.
• Businesses will accept cash, debit-, credit cards and EFTs from customers as methods of payment.

This journal (subsidiary book) is used to record


CASH RECEIPTS JOURNAL (CRJ) all the money received and deposited

INTERNET BANKING (Electronic Fund Transfer – EFT)


• Businesses (and individuals) can make electronic payments using internet banking facilities as cheques
are no longer accepted.
• An EFT is verified by the bank statement
• For every EFT payment made by the business, the source document is the bank statement. It will be
recorded in numeric order in the CPJ.
• A business will also receive EFTs, e.g. the tenant paying his rent electronically. The source document is
also the bank statement, but the transaction will be recorded in the CRJ.

9
DEBIT and CREDIT CARD SALES
• Businesses may also accept payments from customers by credit or debit cards.
• The card is produced at the pay point. It is regarded as CASH sales as the amount is debited to the
business as soon as the transaction is verified by the customer's bank.
• Credit card sales are also regarded as CASH sales as the customer owes the amount to his/her bank and
NOT to the business.

From the business point of view:


• Card sales are recorded in the CRJ. The cash register 'tape' or 'roll' (CRT or CRR) is the source
document.
• The bank charges a levy or cost on each credit card transaction. This levy appears on the business’s bank
statement and is treated as bank charges. Debit card transastion costs is the responsibility of the card
holder.
• Bank charges are entered in the CPJ at the end of the month as ONE total. (NOT applicable in this lesson)

NOTE:
• When goods are sold TWO entries and TWO amounts (for the selling price and the cost price) have to be
recorded:
o Sales (income received at selling price)
o Cost of sales (stock reduced at cost price)
• The selling price is entered in Analysis of Receipts (or Bank) and Sales
• The cost price is entered in Cost of Sales in the same line as the Sales entry.
• Calculation of cost of sales is: Sales x 100/ (100 + % Profit Mark-up)
• Example: The selling price of a designer mask is R200 and the mark-up percentage is 50%

• An EFT is verified by the bank statement. Businesses will number their printed proof of payment by EFT
for easy filing and retrieving the document. (A paper trail needs to be kept for auditing purposes)
• When a business makes an EFT payment the source document is the bank statement. An EFT number
could be added in the CPJ for auditing /tracking the payment purposes. Payments should be recorded in
numeric order in the CPJ.
• Stop orders and debit orders are also acceptable methods of payment of monthly amounts.

https://wcedeportal.co.za/eresource/183306
• Petty cash payment procedure
• Source documents relevant to petty cash Lucem Gr 10 Teacher Guide
• Transferring of cash to petty cash
(textbook and answers in one)
• Balancing petty cash account
• Petty cash imprest system https://wcedeportal.co.za/eresource/117641
• Internal control of petty cash

BASIC CONCEPTS
Match the concepts in Column A to the explanation in Column B.
COLUMN A COLUMN B ANSWER
1 Petty Cash A Manages the cash amount needed in the Petty Cash money box
2 CPJ B Used for authorising a petty cash payment from the money box
3 Cash Float C Notes & coins kept safely in a money box
4 PCJ D Used for a payment to a supplier via online banking
5 Petty Cash voucher E Notes & coins kept safely in the cash register (till) to give change to
customers
6 EFT F Used for recording all payments (excluding cash)
7 Imprest system G Used for recording payments made from the money box

PETTY CASH
• All payments are usually made online with a EFT or directly from the bank with debit and/or stop orders.
• SMALL amounts can be paid with CASH (notes and coins).
• Examples of small cash payments: small donations
refreshments for the office (tea, coffee, milk, etc)
casual wages (washing windows...), etc.
• Cash is kept safely in a money box that must be locked and stored in the safe or the strong room.
• A petty cashier controls the cash put into and taken out of the money box and holds the keys to the
money box.
• A petty cash voucher has to be completed and authorised (signed) by the petty cashier and a senior
staff member.
• All payments from the money box are entered in the PCJ (Petty Cash journal)
• Petty Cash is a Current Asset (included in Cash & Cash Equivalents)

24
PETTY CASH JOURNAL
• Source document: PETTY CASH VOUCHER.
• RESTORING the IMPREST AMOUNT: Money is withdrawn at the bank with a debit card from the current
bank account. The entry is made in the CPJ (source document will be the Bank statement (BS))
E.g.: Petty Cash IMPREST amount = R1 000 per month; (must be the same EVERY month)
Total Petty Cash payments for the month = R600,
Cash remaining in the money box = R400 (R1 000 - R600)
Amount to restore the IMPREST AMOUNT will be R600
Restore amount from the CPJ should be the SAME as the total petty cash payments.

INTERNAL CONTROL OF PETTY CASH


• Only personnel authorised to handle petty cash may do so. ONE person should be in charge of the money
box and holds the key to the box. Another person (senior person) will authorise the payments.
• Payments must only take place if a petty cash voucher is completed and authorised.
• Supporting documents must be collected and filed/kept with the petty cash voucher.
• An imprest system must be implemented.
• The imprest amount should only be restored after reconciling the amount of cash on hand with the petty
cash vouchers and supporting documents.

EXAMPLE
• Complete the Petty Cash Journal of Umi Traders for January 2021.

• format/layout of the GJ
• authorising GJ entries by senior manager https://wcedeportal.co.za/eresource/117641
Chapter 3 (pg 52 - 82)

GENERAL JOURNAL - BASICS


• The General Journal (GJ) caters for transactions which do not occur frequently enough to
justify a special journal for it. These entries cannot be made in any other journal.
• A GJ entry shows the account debited, the account credited and a narration, which is a brief
description of the reason for the entry. It supports the internal and audit processes.
• The GJ caters for entries that include debtors and/or creditors – separate Debtors and Creditors
columns
• Only the Debtors Control and Creditors Control columns are totaled. Totals are posted at month-end.

GENERAL JOURNAL TRANSACTIONS


• Bad debts written off
• Withdrawals of merchandise/other items by the owner
• Interest charged on overdue debtors
• Correction of errors
• Adjustment journal entries at year-end to prepare financial statements (COVERED in Term2 and 3)
BASIC STEPS TO COMPLETE A GENERAL JOURNAL ENTRY
1. Identify the two accounts affected
2. Decide which account to debit and which to credit (Use 'AOL' to help you in this process)
3. The account debited is entered FIRST, with the amount in the debit column
4. The account credited is entered SECOND, with the amount in the credit column.
5. If a debtor or creditor is involved, the 'control' column(s) on the right hand side ALSO need to show
the amount.

44
EXAMPLES TO EXPLAIN GJ ENTRIES

1. Bad Debts written off


T. Terry, who owes R1 000, has been declared insolvent. His estate paid a dividend of 25c in
Transaction
the Rand. The balance of his account must be written off as bad debt.
A/c debited: Bad debts. A bad debt is an expense/loss which is ALWAYS debited.
A/c credited: The debtor’s account (Debtors are assets, which will decrease)
Explanation
Control column: Debtors' Control, credit.(triple entry principle)
[IF a debtor is credited, the amount is ALSO entered in the credit column of Debtors' control]
R750 will be recorded in the GJ – amount never to be received = Bad debts
Calculation
(1 000 – 250 = R750 OR 75c x 1 000 = R750) [R250 will be entered in the CRJ as receipts]

2. Owner withdraws stock or other NON-CASH items


Transaction B. Jones, the owner, took stock, marked at R450 (markup is 50%) for private use.
A/c debited: Drawings (The owner may withdraw cash and other items from his business; it will
decrease the owner's equity).
Explanation A/c credited: Trading stock (Stock is an asset that will decrease)
Control column: NO entries (No debtor or creditor was influenced)
Trading stock is ALWAYS entered at COST.
Calculation R450 (SP) x 100/150 = R300 cost

3. Interest on OVERDUE debtors' accounts


J. Jonck, a debtor owes R1 200 for the past two months. Charged 3% per year interest on the
Transaction
overdue account.
A/c debited: J. Jonck (The debtor's account (asset) increases as a 'penalty' is added to the balance)
Explanation A/c credited: Interest income (The interest 'earned' is an income, so owner's equity(profit) will increase)
Control columns: Debtors Control is debited. (A debtor's account was debited)

Calculation R1 200 x 3/100 x 2/12 = R6

The GJ entry for the correction of errors will be determined by the
type of error. ALWAYS follow the suggested procedure.
4. Correction of errors, e.g. wrong amount entered / posted to wrong account / posted to wrong
side of correct account, etc. It is essential that you READ the transaction carefully.
Follow this procedure:
• Establish which TWO accounts are affected by the error
• Determine which account was incorrectly debited or credited
• Determine which account should have been debited or credited
• Make the correction entry in the GJ
Stationery bought on credit from Ream Stationers for R350 was posted from the CJ to the
Consumable stores account. The error must be corrected.
Transaction TWO accounts: Stationery & Consumable stores
Incorrectly debited: Consumable stores
Entry SHOULD be: Stationery debited
A/c debited: Stationery (An expense account is debited; owners' equity (profit) decrease
A/c credited: Consumable stores (Another expense is credited; owners' equity (profit) increase
Explanation (Consumable stores a/c was overstated, and Stationery understated due to this error;
no effect on the profit)
