Hi Leigh,
There is a website for this resource:www.ppresources.co.nz as I said we have master copies & can make as many hard copies as we want. I f we do have a budget for someone to search for resources like this that would be great.

This diagram shows the progression from source documents to final accounts in a manual accounting system. There are 7 journals:

Sales Journal - all invoices issued are entered in the Sales Journal

Sales Returns Journal - all credit notes are issued in the Sales Returns Journal

Cash Receipts Journal - Cash dockets, receipts, cheques received and direct credits are entered in the Cash Receipts Journal


General Journal - Contracts, memos are entered in the General Journal. Any transactions which do not involve Sale of Goods or Purchase of Goods are entered in the General Journal. For example Owner Equity additions or purchase of equipment or Owner Drawings.

Purchases Journal - all invoices received are entered in the Purchases Journal.

Purchase Returns Journal - all credit notes received are entered in the Purchases Returns Journal.

Cash Payments Journal - Receipts received, cheques issued and direct debits are entered in the Cash Payments Journal.

These entries are then transferred to 3 Ledgers: Receivables, Payables & General Ledger.

Mastering MYOB is a very good resource but there are a couple of things I would like to change. I had thought about contacting the author & asking if we could revise it, but thought we could go with it if we need to get our course up & running quickly & look at revising it later. It will be a really useful starting point in MYOB. I will contact the author when I get back & see what we can work out.
