Using QuickBooks
The second part of your assignment requires you to process the transaction and adjustments in QuickBooks to confirm the results in your Excel file. A QuickBooks template with accounts and balances in place has already been prepared.
Accessing QuickBooks at QUT
Open Blackboard and go to the Quickbooks file in the Assessment Item 2 folder. Save the QuickBooks file ‘Advertising Revolution Student Template’ to your USB, H drive, or other
storage device. Rename the file by substituting your family name and student number in place of ‘Student template’ in the file name
1. In the computer lab, click on screen and enter username (student number) and password

4. QuickBooks will then ask where you wish to store the file. Select you preferred location (USB or H drive) and the Quickbooks will save the data to the selected drive. A dialogue box with ‘Your data has been restored successfully’ will display Click OK. Your file is now open and you are ready to process transactions.

Personalise your file

Prepare the entry using the first three columns (i.e. Account, Debit, and Credit). Use the Training Exercise adjusting entry as an example but ensure that the Adjusting entry box is NOT checked.

Prior to journalising the adjusting entries, we should check our work to date by reviewing a Trial Balance. Click on Reports (on the top toolbar), Accountant, Trial Balance, and select the to/From dates as 1/7/2013 and 31/7/2013, and click Refresh. If you have completed the entries correctly, then your trial balance will be identical to the trial balance on your Excel worksheet, with one exception. QuickBooks has debited/credited the GST that it automatically calculated to Tax Payable instead of GST Clearing. If we add the balances of the two accounts together they equal $4532 which is the correct amount.

Now pass journal entries for the adjustments. Refer to the example in the Training exercise. Remember to check the box for ‘Adjusting Entry’ and to date all the entries 31/7/2013.
