What started as a home-based idea soon turned into a business after realizing that “Peyton” was not the

Accounting Process and Internal Controls for Cash
In order to ensure responsible accounting practices Peyton Approved will be investing in QuickBooks Pro; this accounting software will allow us to make sure all the steps are being followed correctly. We have also hired Fusion Group; Fusion Group is an accounting firm that specializes in new business owners to help with the accounting process. As a company we are also taking classes to get a better understanding of accounting, getting an understanding of why the accounting cycle is important, what the numbers mean for the company, whether or not we are in debt, we owe money, but also being able to get a true sense of the monthly profit (Scheid, J., (2011).
Peyton Approved accounting cycle comprises of the following steps– transactions, journal entries, posting, trial balance and worksheet, adjusting journal entries, financial statements and closing of the books (Tarver, E, 2106). As a new company up and coming we have to make sure our payables, receivables, bank recs and all sales have been noted. Also making sure that wages or expenses that are accrued are recorded.

It follows a strong internal control system for cash. A separate person is appointed to approve all purchases, payroll and any disbursement of cash. At the end of each month company prepares bank reconciliation statement to reconcile cash book balance and bank statement balance. Company keeps proper inventory record system. All these prevent frauds and ensure smooth functioning of the business.
An accounting cycle is a process, or a series of activities, that consists of collecting an organization’s transactions at the end of a reporting period to prepare essential financial statements of a business (Fleury, 2015). The accounting cycle is a strict, methodical set of rules used to ensure the accuracy and conformity of financial statements (Investopedia, 2017). The steps involved with an accounting cycle, the roles each of the step facilitate, the impact of omission, and what financial statements are assembled from the accounting cycle data.
According to Financial and Managerial Accounting, the accounting cycle is the approach companies use to create their financial statements
It allows business owner to correctly record transactions within the business, obtain financial statements, and diminish financial complications, in general. Prior to learning about an accounting system, it is essential that the background knowledge of the system also be known. An accounting system is comprised of things such as assets, liabilities, and stockholder’s equities. These things are the foundation of an accounting system. A lack of knowledge of these will cease the creation of an ideal accounting system. Assets are “resources owned by a business”. (Kieso, Kimmel, and Weygandt, n.p). It does not matter if an asset is physical or even intangible, assets are owned in order to generate worth for a business. The purpose of assets is to produce economic benefits for a business. Some examples of assets are cash, supplies, and inventory. A liability is the contrast of an asset. An asset should always have a positive effect on a business, while a liability does not. A liability is “Amounts owed to creditors in the form of debts and other obligations.” (Kieso, Kimmel, and Weygandt, n.p). It is important for a business owner to know that liabilities may be inevitable to happen. If a business owner has liabilities it does not mean they are not successful. Liabilities are just apart of a business and as long as these liabilities are dealt with, they should not stunt a business’ growth. Some examples of
Preferred Consulting will install QuickBooks 2015 Pro software on your computer’s hard drive. Next, we will setup Cutting Edge as a sole proprietor organization that is engaged in service and product sales, so the software knows how to account for all the transactions and taxes your company may incur during the year. Then we will enter your customers, vendors, supplies, and inventory that your business uses to conduct daily operations. Every transaction your business performs will be entered using the appropriate section of QuickBooks Pro 2015, and the amounts are automatically distributed to the selected chart of accounts. The chart of accounts records every transaction that is entered and keeps running totals of revenues, expenses, equity, liabilities and inventory.
It also helps in understanding the value of the business assets it owns and this can used to help you and other interested parties such as investors, creditors or shareholders to assess the worth of your business at a given moment.

According to ASPCA data 70-80 millions dogs are owned in the United States, which means that between 37-47 percent of all American households have canine companions. Many of pet owners consider their dogs members of their families and treat them accordingly. Therefore, dog owners choose carefully from a large selection of pet foods avaliable on. However, it is not always easy to recognize harmful ingredients in the food packages. With that many pets in the U.S some well-known companies that manufacture food for our four-legged companions use cheap and harmful products. One such company is Royal Canin. The company has been under attack lately for the use of controversial ingredients in their food that make dogs sick.
