Studying AAT level 2 and had been struggling on suspense accounts. This video made everything easier to understand than my study text thanks.

[@user-cd1fc8tm5l]

For those who are still confused on when to credit and debit the suspense account, let me tell you in simple terms. Basically you credit a suspense account when you aren't 100% sure that where the value has gone, and you debit the other affected account. And once you are sure where the value has gone, for example by asking your boss, you debit the suspense account and you credit the affected account. You are Welcome 😊

Thanks for the clear explanation! I had not heard these terms before watching this and now I feel much more confident for my bookkeeping class.

And kindly asking if you have lessons on Bank reconciliations and statements of cash flows

[@awebwasheila1594]

for real.. i need it too

[@niloyghosh6495]

Sir if cash sales is overcasted in cash book than it will not affect the trial balance right? As cash sales are recorded in sales account from cash book. So if cash book is wrong than sales account is also wrong leading the trial balance to match?

[@user-km4io2mu4n]
