Best Practice Guidelines: Accounting Management


2. Financial Configuration

DEBIT and CREDIT always, always a plus and a minus in accounting, money in and money out

Something is always going up and something going down

Make sure what is registered in the Business name and what is registered in a  personal name. You are not allowed to claim personal expenses

If a car is registered in the business name you are allowed to claim the expenses on the vehicle, property, any fixed assists


Stock - Suppliers, Stocktake


Financials - Profit and loss, Ledger, Cashbooks, Recons

The whole idea is about money coming in, money going out to be able to see if I make a profit or loss in the company/practice

Money in - Patients (billing), renting income, Selling stock
