ENT1-A2. Accounting and accounting documents Copy
TIMING/LENGTH (IN MINUTES): 40′
DESCRIPTION
Accounting records and measures the activity and assets of an organisation through accounting documents that record expenditure and income as well as existing assets and liabilities.
The accounting records:
– The balance sheet: a summary document that traces the assets and liabilities of the entity at a given point in time.
– The income statement: details the operations carried out over one year.
Entrepreneurship:
Entrepreneurs who operate in EIRL and who have opted for the micro-enterprise scheme or the auto-entrepreneur status (AERL) benefit from ultra-simplified accounting.
The only accounting requirements for micro EIRL and AERL are:
-Keeping a revenue book showing in chronological order the amount and origin of revenue collected for the activity, distinguishing between cash payments and other payments and indicating the supporting documents.
-Keeping a purchase register summarising the details of purchases by year, specifying the method of payment and the references of the supporting documents. Specific case for EURL: draw up a statement on 31 December each year to update the declaration of allocation. The aim is to draw up a list of the assets he decides to allocate to his company and thus separate them from his personal assets.
DEVELOPMENT/ METHODOLOGY
The auto-entrepreneur is obliged to hold an account dedicated exclusively to his professional activity and therefore separate from his current account.
How to write accounting documents?
The recipe book: can take the form of an Excel sheet with 6 columns.
Date of sale/performance; number of the corresponding invoice; name of the customer; nature of the transaction carried out; amount of the sale/performance; method of collection.
The purchase register: this document is obligatory when the activity includes the sale of goods.
The keeping of these accounting records is required and can be done on paper or by software.
