Drawings

Can someone explain something to a northern thicky please? Why do drawings go into the Balance sheet columns in the ETB when you have adjusted for them?

Oops - meant for a PM!

Anyway...

... apparently, the message header says it's 18.38 so why am I still at work? Oh yes, it's actually 13.45 on a wet and windy Monday afternoon. Don't suppose I'll ever get the hang of this AAT-time.

you only adjust for them in partners accounts dont you? and the "financed by" section on a partners balance sheet consists only of capital and current accounts (and the current account is where you adjusted for drawings in the ETB)

for a sole trader B/S you would just include drawings in the financed by section at the bottem. you dont adjust the capital for drawings for a sole trader

hope that helps

In accounts there 5 type of accounts categories

1- Income - these end up in Profit and Loss a/c
2- Expenses - These end up in Profit and loss a/c

The difference between the two a/c is s either a profit or a loss that belongs to the proprietor.

3- Asset - these end up in the balance sheet
4- Liabilities - these end up in the balance sheet

5- Proprietor’s account - capital account these also end up in the balance sheet

You need to ask yourself a question. to which category does the drawings a/c belong to?

It will be self evident!

Also not forgetting the current account if a partnership
