Proper Recordkeeping in Quickbooks

Why Should You Attend:

Some businesses, especially new businesses, small business owners, and the self-employed are not aware of the requirements set forth by federal and state governments pertaining to compliant recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Many businesses are not aware of how to adequately keep financial records. Many institutions require current financial information for things such as loan applications and contract opportunities. To lower the chances of being audited by the IRS, being fined, or going to jail, businesses need to know how to develop and maintain adequate financial records.

QuickBooks is a major accounting system used by many companies. It is easy to use and very affordable. Utilizing an accounting system like QuickBooks is one way a company can measure its financial health. If your financial records are unorganized, outdated, or even nonexistent, you cannot adequately assess your company’s financial position.

Topic Background:

The Small Business Administration (SBA) reports that more than fifty percent (50%) of companies fail within their first five years. One of the biggest reasons these companies fail is bad recordkeeping. Federal and state level governments have laws pertaining to maintaining financial records, paying taxes, and reporting financial information. When businesses are not utilizing an accounting system or not consistently updating their accounting systems, this can cause major problems.
