Just want to say thank you so much for all the videos you make. 2 years ago in my first intro accounting class I was lost until I found your original adjusting entry video. Thanks to your videos at the time I was able to do really well in that class and even switched my major to accounting. I even have a big4 internship and I’ll be going to get my masters in accounting next fall after graduating this spring! I seriously wouldn’t be where I am today without this channel, thank you so much
I've been watching ur videos since that 6 years ago accounting equation video, back then i didn't have a clue to what should i do in my career, started to watch ur videos and i liked how u make accounting seems fun and simple, because of u i've recently passed my CMA part one exam and sitting for part two next month, i owe u my career man! and btw although all these videos are like basics for me now but i never miss a single video u post, keep up the good work james, ur truly making a difference mate!
Thank you man! I wirk as a receptionist in an accountants and was recently asked if i wanted to start learning, my boss does not make a good teacher.. but holy hell you do!! Thank you for making this free for all of us! :)
You are the best teacher. Your videos are incredibly helpful, clear and easy to understand. Your content has been a game-changer for me. And I would like to learn more about IFRS rules from you, as they are becoming increasingly important in the industry. Thanks for making such valuable content accessible to everyone.
I have been taking accounting classes recently.. and this is such a life saver! You are truly underrated.. my teacher explained a bit of it for a whole class and I didn't understand a thing.. you just made it so much simpler for me.. Thank you so much!
I was having a hard time with understanding this topic at uni, so thank you for making it clear and pretty easy to get it! Subscribed for future videos:)
Omg your a life saver our topics just this week is all about adjusting entries I do have a book to read but still I don’t understand anything at all not until I saw your video ❤❤
Hello do you have a video on payroll?? if not can you make one please i love watching your videos they are so easy to understand definitely my favorite channel to watch!!!
Thank you so much for all your helpful videos! Question: Does the method given for identifying whether an account is an asset or liability work for all accounts or is it just for prepaid expenses, deferred revenue, etc.? Thank you!
On Dec 18th there were two transactions... the first transaction was Credit Cash (decreasing it) and Debit Insurance Expenses (increasing it). The second was a Credit to Insurance Expenses (decreasing them) and Debit Prepaid Expenses (increasing them).
Hello James first i want to say u are awesome!!!! this might be a little long but can you help me I'm grappling with this if in November and December you declared $100 expenses and those got closed out... $153 invoiced expense matches decrease in cash i understand this but how do you go back and correct those $100 journal entries after theyve been closed?
In January the expense is only $53, so equity or retained earnings has to go up by $100 (because Nov n Dec expenses was closed out to income summary and retained earnings) because full payment being made in January, (new period) of $153
Last period November and December you close it out and took the money out of retained earnings so in this new period in January you give it back to retained earnings and pay the whole thing from cash when u get the invoice. Also the expense for January was only $53
Credit cash $153 Debit expenses $53 Credit retained earnings $100 Bcs in Nov and December those accrued expenses $50 each month equaled $100 and they were not paid, no invoice, but were closed out to retained earnings. So u give it back to retained earnings and pay full invoice amt. Of $153 (from cash acct.) And the expense for Jan. Is $153 - $100(Nov. N Dec )= $53 expense for January.
Ok. NVM. I thought u couldn't make the adjusting entries in following period, after accounts were closed but that is exactly why we make adjusting entries to correct the expense or revenue and retained earnings. Sorry about the mixup!
Suspense Accounts and Accrued Expenses serve different purposes. A Suspense Account temporarily holds unidentified transactions, while an Accrued Expenses account records costs that have been incurred but haven't yet been recorded or paid for.
Hello Sir, concerning prepaid expenses, what is the point to debit insurance expenses for just 12 days ( at the 18 th of dec) and then credit it at the end of december and debit prepaid expenses for the same amount. Why we did not debit prepaid expenses at the 18 th of december for once.
I’m having a dilemma, can someone help me with this? I run a travel agency business. When I raise an invoice, my accounting software automatically debits Accounts receivables and credits sales. But this is a problem as sales are recognized only when the client goes on holiday. How do I adjust this? My go to was to debit sales but not quite sure what to credit.
I am a management student. But sometimes i really think - why should we learn accounting because everything is automatic now, there is machine learning, AI, and very advanced software's. Why are we still studying accounting as a subject. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Becaues even AI can make mistakes. It's a programed language. Not only that but sometimes when systems are down, rare, you still have a job to do, and need to be able to do it manually. Also, you have to know the foundations like how to adjust entries, what is a liability versus an asset, how to account for various business etc.. you can't soley rely on AI and say that looks great, you have to be able to fact check and verify the information is correct. I think AI is a good tool to work hand in hand with but using it to automate all the task of accounting, is not feasable right now.. it will make mistakes.
@@Daylan_S may be not today or maybe not tomorrow but one day AI will definitely replace Accounting subject in our schools because it is getting better and better each and every day and very fast. My career is at risk. I regret choosing management (commerce) as my major subject. Science was much better
@@amelioratepsych yep, that is true. But the difference is -- degree of risk associated with any skill, degree or course. Which is ofcourse higher in our case. This is what I mean.
Automated systems can help you process data, but management students still need to understand how accounting works. Management roles often require making decisions that affect the financial health of a company. So it's important that you can read and interpret Financial Reports
@@md.tofaelahmed8243 Ahh.. the initial journal entry recorded the transaction on a cash basis and recorded the entire Insurance Expense at the moment the payment was made. A correcting entry was then posted to transfer the balance out of Insurance Expenses (in the Income Statement) to Prepaid Expenses (an Asset in the Balance Sheet). From then on, the cost of the Insurance Expenses is allocated to the Income Statement month-by-month as it is incurred.
Will all accouting soon be done entirely by A.I.? PROBABLY later if not sooner especially with very large global organizations with very complicated cash flows as soon as the bosses can fire very costly and error prone human accountants and use FREE A.I. that is NOT subject to human error or human issues such as needing vaction time, getting sick, going on strike demanding wage increases, forming a union...as SOON as A.I. can get rid of all that human accouants are GONE and most importantly to these corporations is that machine does NOT have to be paid any money so the corporations and businesses get to keep alot more of it to themselves it is COMING. Computers replaced most all humans on the trading floors in Chicago and New York years ago and computers will continue replacing humans wherever else possible and accouting is PERFECTLY possible to be done entirely by a smart machine (A.I.) as soon as the advacement of the technology allows for it A.I. will be much smater and FASTER than any human what it takes a human accountant at least a couple hours to probably do on the books A.I. will probably be able to do perfectly in a nanosecond flat and be DONE and not require to be paid anything.

@@AccountingStuff You are the best teacher in the world.
@@GBLisa That's kind of you to say!
I came here just after graduating from highschool
I think I owe you so much
I don't know how I would be without you
I've learned accounting since year 9, however I don't understand anything at all and didn't listen to the teacher at all, I even cheated for the exam and still failed horribly
until in year 10 where one of my classsmates decided to ask me lots of questions about accounting
thats when I decided to catch up
I learn how to write financial statements at school without even knowing what it is and didn't understand anything about the ledgers and journals
which is where I found this channel and I subscribed while learning the basics
also helped by one of myfriend whom got the highest in Accounting
be friends with those your opposite😅
well my friends ends up getting an award as the highest marks in the whole country
I continued to learn until I got to finnish my year 10 exam and got to skip straight to year 12 abroad
just from my accounting and math marks, 2 subjects thats always one of my wotse subjects
then I learned in year 12 abroad and I just graduated last week
I also got an award for getting the highest in Accounting
being the subject with the lowest average but my marks is one oof the highest out of all top marks students from each subjects at school
I got 90% in my exam and the average was 44%
somehow I was the only one in class whom got above average marks
with almost 50% difference😅
after 3.5 years of learning accounting
finally experience being thhe highest in class, never experienced it before with other subjects
3.5 years of learning and 2.5 years of hardwork to get from the worse marks in class to the highest marks in class
from D with cheating to A* in 1 year
such a wonderful journey
I plan to get a degree in Accounting for university
I won't be here without this channel
you're the only one who teach me all the basics until finally my friend is willing to teach me
I continued to watch this chamnel until today
