I am assuming the audit info you need are receipts for deductions you took.  If you cannot find cold, hard receipts, find the cancelled check, or nowadays, the image of the check from your bank statements.  If you don't have the images, call your bank, and for a small charge, they will get you all you need.  If any expenses were paid in cash and you have no receipt, you're out of luck on those, unless the IRS agent is feeling generous.\n\nIf the agent decides you owe and you can't pay, file an Installment Agreement (Form 9465), and the IRS will work with you.  Good luck on your audit!

The usual way to do this is to have 2 tables.  One table for your purchases (i.e. the items you are bringing into your inventory) and another table for sales (i.e. the items that are going out of your inventory).  The common link is a part number (i.e. some unique number to identify each item).\n\nYou need to load each item purchased and qty. into the "purchases" table and load each item sold and qty sold into the "sales" table.  If you purchase and sell the same items over and over you can just keep adding rows to your purchases and sales table.\n\nTo see what you have on-hand you make queries that sum up all the purchases by part number and sum up all the sales by part number.  You join these together and include a formula to subtract sales from purchases.  The result is what you have on hand.\n\nDoing it this way gives you a running history of what was purchased and sold.  You never have to change or replace your original data - you just let the system do the math to tell you what's on-hand.

for budget purposes, use quicken and enter all the info. toss the receipts into a box or bag after you enter them. you will save a lot of time using the computer and you can do some good planning if you are into it.

Certainly the human resources officer where you work can provide some information for you. The tax situation could be the most serious so make and follow a plan to settled that immediately.  Get a notebook. Write your name and the date on the first page. Skip the next two or three pages. Then list each activity, bill or account that needs to be settled on a page by itself. Include the account information like the person to contact, the phone number, address, interest rate and the amount that is owed, and when it is due for each one. Set a time to find the resources (people or organizations) that are available to assist with resolving each one. When you complete paying an account, put a big x on it's page. Turn to the pages that you skipped and write the name and the date that it was completely settled on one line. Keep working on this consistently until you have all the pages with X's on them and the list of completed accounts and dates listed on the pages that were skipped for this purpose. Good luck...

They want to see 2003 and 2005 to see continuity of operations.\n\nFirst tell the auditor that you do not have all your receipts and why you do not have them.\n\nTry to legally recreate them.  For example you purchased a typewriter for your business.  Get the instruction manual and warranty card for it, find a office supply cataloge that shows what the purchse price would have been then.   Get what ever support you can to justify your deductions.  Look at your credit card statements (get copies if you have to or download them).  If you went to a seminar in Miami call them and have them fax you a statement saying you were there and what the dates were, same with the hotel where you stayed.  Get the software books and boxes to prove you purchased them.\n\nOnce the auditor starts looking at your return he will narrow in on only a couple of areas.  You did not say what type of Schedule C you did but the usual places they go are Entertainment Expense and Travel Expense.  \n\nThe one thing he will do is ask you for all your bank statements.  I mean ALL of them(personal and business accounts).  Have them for him.  If you do not have them now call the bank to get copies, or download them off the net.  \n\nWhat he will do with the bank statements is add up all of the deposits that went into every account, subtract from this transfers that came from other accounts.  This is the income that you should have reported as Gross Receipts on your schedule C.  If not you better be able to account for every difference.  If it is higher he will increase your income by that amount.  \n\nIf there were deposits to your account for reasons other than business income then you need to show proof where it came from.  For example your brother gave you $5,000 as a birthday gift.  \n\nGive him every thing in a nice orderly package, tie each amount on the return to the package.  DO NOT GIVE HIM A SHOEBOX.  If the auditor feels you are not hiding anything then he not ask for more information if you are upfront with a lot of information.\nBut do not give him more than he really needs to know.\n\nIf he asks you "Do you know what time it is?" the correct answer is "Yes" the wrong answer is "It is 9:45am"\n\nIf you do not know the answer tell him "I will check and get that information for you"  Do not lie, make up information.  you will trip over your own toes.  Do not have any one else there with you, they will give out useless information that can bite you.\n\nBefore your first meeting you will get an IDR#1 this is called a Information Document Request #1 and will list every item on it that he will need.  It will narrow down where he will be looking at.\n\nAt the end of the first meeting he will ask you for more information.  Ask him for another IDR.  Do not give him more information unless it is listed on the IDR!  \n\nAlso keep a list of what information you do give him.\n\nIf you feel you are getting into trouble CALL A CPA from a local cpa firm spend the money because he may save you from thousands if you are really going to get into trouble.  Or talk to your friends, one of them may know someone who works at a firm that could advise you for a small fee.\n\nBe aware that Schedule C returns are the most audited 1040 returns out there.

If you're using software, there is often a 'canned' chart of accounts included.\n\nIf you do a search for 'sample chart of accounts', you'll find many examples - you should look for one that best fits your type of company\n\nWhat many people do, if your biz is not complicated, is just use say 1xxxx for assets, 2xxxx for liabilities, 3xxxx for equity, 4xxxx for revenues, 5xxxx for cost of goods sold, 6xxxx for expenses, 7xxxx for taxes, 8xxxx for other income/expense.\n\nIf you more or less follow the order in which things will appear on the financial statements, you can't go too far wrong

I'm guessing that you mean a savings account book, what they write in it means nothing unfortunately, their computer system will only have credited you £10.\n\nThat said i'd wait a couple of months and go in and ask them to update the book with any interest thats due, play dumb and say you're not sure if you're due any but you're just curious. If the balance is £10,000 plus a bit of interest, withdraw it all immediately and blow it.

First step is to list all the events that cause a cash inflow or cash outflow.  Then make sure the list is in chronological order (earliest event first, then the next, all the way through to the last).  Make sure that the events are truely cash related: for example if the entity incurs a liability on 1 August, receives an invoice on 31 August, and pays the invoice on 14 September - the cash outflow only occurs on 14 September.\n\nHow can this be used to structure the analysis?  It can be very helpful to see exactly when capital providers (shareholders or creditors) need to provide funds, and exactly when they can expect to receive funds.  It can also help to determine whether the company has enough cash on hand to meet its needs - sometimes a company can be profitable on paper but not have enough liquid cash to meet its needs.\n\nThis sounds like part of a homework question you are having trouble with.  If you are looking for additional accounting based examples, the case study below is a great example of a company with liquidity issues.

Well, accrued accounting process is obviously different than the cash accounting process. For cash accounting, all you need is to record the amount when cash change hands. However, for accrued accounting, you have to go along with the MATCHING PRINCIPLE -- you have to match your revenues with your expenses (in the same reporting period). For example, you made a payment for renting an apartment for two years (this year & next year). In this year, you can only report this year's rent; you can't report the total payment for Yr 1 and Yr 2. You have to report the rent of Yr 2 in Yr 2 because that's when you actually use (expense) the apartment (Yes, even though you paid it).\n\nI hope this help.

Let's define some variables for the equation.\n\nD = monthly deposit ($200)\nr = annual interest rate (10% is 0.1)\nn = compound frequency (12 months in a year)\nA = account balance\ni = compounded interest\n\nLet's start the account this month, or month 0.\n\nA(0) = D\n\nOne month later, you make another deposit and earn some interest. But you only earn 1/12 of the 10% with you existing balance, which is r/12.  \n\nA(1) = D + A(0) + i(1)\n\nwhere, i(1) = A(0) * r/n. Which makes\n\nA(1) = D + A(0) + A(0) * r/n , or\nA(1) = D + A(0) * (1 + r/n ), or\nA(1) = D + A(0)*R, if R = 1 + r/n, but A(0) is D, so\nA(1) = D + D*R\n\nTwo months later, you make another deposit and earn some interest on the balance A(1). Similarly calculating,\n\nA(2) = D + A(1) * R, or\nA(2) = D + (D + D*R) * R, or\nA(2) = D + D*R + D*R^2\n\nKeep on going to three months later, \n\nA(3) = D + A(2) * R, or\nA(3) = D + D*R + D*R^2 + D*R^3, or\nA(3) = D * (1 + R + R^2 + R^3)\n\nFollowing this pattern, k months later, we get\n\nA(k) = D * (1 + R + R^2 + ... + R^k)\n\nNow, let's calculate the general expression (1 + R + R^2 + ... + R^k) in a closed form.\n\nLet S = (1 + R + R^2 + ... + R^k). Multiply R on both sides, we get\nS*R = (1 + R + R^2 + ... + R^k) * R, or\nS*R = R + R^2 + ... + R^k + R^(k + 1)\n\nSubtracting the two equations S*R and S on both sides, we get\n\nS*R - S = R + R^2 + ... + R^k + R^(k + 1)  - (1 + R + R^2 + ... + R^k)\n\nNotice the terms R all the way through R^k on the right hand side are cancelled and only left with R^(k + 1) - 1. So we have,\n\nS*R - S = S(R - 1) = R^(k + 1) - 1\n\nDividing (R - 1) on both side, we get\n\nS = [R^(k + 1) - 1] / (R - 1)\n\nRewriting the account balance at month k,\n\nA(k) = D * (1 + R + R^2 + ... + R^k), or\nA(k) = D*S = D * [R^(k + 1) - 1] / (R - 1)\n\nNow, 26 years make 26 * 12 = 312 months. But since you start with 0, so your k is actually 311. R = 1 + r/n = 1 + 0.1/12, and D = 200. So\n\nA(311) = 200 * [(1 + 0.1/12)^(311 + 1) - 1] / (1 + 0.1/12 - 1), or\nA(311) = 295667.15330119169 = 295667.15 (round to nearest penny)

accural accounting will show that you are recognizing the expense and paying it when it is due. Take for example employee's pay. Your pay period runs sunday to sunday. Your quarter ends on a Wednesday. This must be recognized in your journal and ledger as it won't be on the employee's check. It must be explained so you will use accural accounting.\ncash accounting is like sales with cash when something is sold something is paid for. Record sales journalize then post.\nfor financial statements use accrual accounting as there will be areas that run beyond the fiscal period yet have to adhere to the GAAP
