Adding descriptions

Leaine can’t stress this enough! Adding meaningful descriptions gives context to accounting reports.

Leaine’s Tips:

  • Be concise and clear with meaningful descriptions
  • State when GST exceptions (eg. Business to Business, no GST)
  • Include across all types of entries – reconciling, journals, bank rules
  • Consider where more useful in the description rather than as an added note
  • Good descriptions save time when reviewing reports
  • Train your clients to do this
  • Auditors and accountants will love you!
