      A good video idea would be to show how the logistics of all this works.
      For example, in the airplane example, what systems are used to track how and when to move stuff from the deferred payments account into the revenue account. With multiple clients this can easily become confusing

    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

    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?

    • @lourdesgarcia2969
      @lourdesgarcia2969 15 днів тому

      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

    • @lourdesgarcia2969
      @lourdesgarcia2969 15 днів тому

      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

    • @lourdesgarcia2969
      @lourdesgarcia2969 15 днів тому

      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.

    • @lourdesgarcia2969
      @lourdesgarcia2969 13 днів тому

      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.

    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.
