1.On July 2020, Sotoma Pty Ltd noticed that a number of its employees have been with the company for a number of years including some who have actually been working for more than 10 years. The company has always provided annual leave and sick leave to its employees. However, our accounting team is not sure whether these employees are entitled to any other employee benefits. It would be much appreciated if you could give the accounting team some clarification on this matter and how to deal with this in our accounts.

A journal is a chronological recording of transactions using debits and credits (debit simply means left, and credit simply means right). ii. Journalising a transaction is just a fancy way of saying formally recording a transaction in the books. i. Recording a transaction requires a journal entry (or entries) (i.e., JES). iv. Notice the format or form of the JE: all debit (i.e., left) pieces first, then the credit i.e., right) pieces. Dollar amounts for the debit pieces in the debit column, credit pieces in the credit column. v. Notice that each entry fulfills the accounting equation (or equality). In other words, every entry balances. vi. There are two keys to knowing when to debit and when to credit: 1) is the goal to increase or decrease the balance in the account? and 2) what is the normal balance in the account? - Think of an account as a bucket that contains quantities. - Recall the accrual-basis accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders 'Equity, which we can restate as Cash + A/R + Inventory + Prepaid Rent + Equipment = A/P + N/P + Contributed Capital + Revenues - Expenses). - Anything on the left side of the equality symbol maintains a normal debit balance. So, if you encountered a transaction which requires an increase in Cash, then you need to debit the Cash account (i.e., you are essentially saying add more cash to the cash that is already in the bucket). - Anything on the right side of the equality symbol maintains a normal credit balance. So, if you encountered a transaction which requires an increase in Contributed Capital or Earned Capital, then you need to credit these accounts (i.e., you are essentially saying add more contributed or earned capital to the contributed or earned capital that is already in the bucket). - Notice the compound JE used for transaction (i). You could use this type of entry for transaction (e) as well. - Guide for debits and credits: Your analysis suggests ... Your journal entry requires ...
