   . Dividend           . Bad Debts Provision      . Stock              . Liabilities

   . Tax Provision     . Accruals                      . Prepayments

for instantly revised financial statements, lead schedules, ratios and graphs.

The single amount is the speed-feature of the classic Extended T.B. This is the magic of InPractice ETB Accounts that rival accounts software do not have. Your competitor accountants are not likely to tell you about this advantage.

Extended Trial Balance!
Any general practice accountant will confirm that the most efficient technique for preparing financial statements from Incomplete Records, is the 'Extended Trial Balance' (ETB).

ETBs have been widely in use in the UK from the middle of the last century, peaking in the '70s and the '80s. ETB usage declined as it became too expensive to train highly-paid graduates. Data was input into heavy-weight bookkeeping software.

Escalating competition amongst smaller accountancy firms has resulted in accountants charging very competitive fees for accounts production work. So, the need to control the production costs has grown acute. Since fees are tighter, time-consuming input into heavy-weight bookkeeping software is no longer cost-effective for either smaller, or Incomplete Records jobs.

The solution for this scenario has to be the greater use of the ETB technique, wherever appropriate. It was the fastest technique in the pencil and eraser days. Now used on Excel powered by a Pentium processor, it works at lightening speed.

What is 'Incomplete Records'?
Small businesses do not have the time or the know-how to write up ledgers. Most are able to issue sales invoices and some can write their cashbook. They need their daily bookkeeping to be simple since they prefer to concentrate on selling their widgets.

Flexibility of InPractice ETB
InPractice ETB has been designed for flexibility and to keep control over small business jobs. It allows you to flexibly disentangle 'Suspense A/C' data little by little, as and when the details become clearer. InPractice ETB allows you to make adjustments in the ETB with journals and over-write corrections.

The ultimate feature in InPractice ETB is the simplicity, speed and effectiveness with which the following can be revised over and over again until the accounts are ready to sign:
 
. accruals         . prepayments
 
. stock             . depreciation
 
. tax provision  . dividend

Enter just one amount and the programming takes over to reflect it in both the Profit and Loss account and the Balance Sheet. Revise that single amount and the financial statements are revised in lightening speed. Along with lead schedules, notes to accounts and graphs.

Since each control account balances to the penny, the whole ETB will also always balance to the penny. InPractice ETB indicates any differences with in-built diagnostics flagged in red. By the way, if the difference can be divided by 9, it is an inversion error (35 entered as 53, 92 entered as 29).
