I. Management of Financial Accounts
1.1 Account Setup and Coding
Account setup is the cornerstone of financial management. Enterprises should reasonably set up accounts for assets, liabilities, owner's equity, income, expenses, etc., based on their business characteristics and accounting standards, and assign a unique code to each account for subsequent accounting and information retrieval.
1.2 Auxiliary Accounting Items
To reflect the economic activities of the enterprise in more detail, auxiliary accounting items such as customers, suppliers, and projects can be set up under certain accounts. These auxiliary accounting items can provide richer financial information, assisting enterprises in more refined management and analysis.
1.3 Accounting Period and Closing Process
Enterprises should clearly define the accounting period, which is usually a natural month, quarter, or year. At the end of each accounting period, closing operations must be performed, including zeroing out the balances of income and expense accounts and updating the balances of asset, liability, and owner's equity accounts. The closing process should ensure the continuity and accuracy of financial information.
II. Entry of Accounting Vouchers
2.1 Principles of Voucher Preparation
Accounting vouchers are important bases for recording economic transactions and clarifying economic responsibilities. When preparing accounting vouchers, the principles of authenticity, completeness, and timeliness should be followed to ensure that the content of the vouchers corresponds to the actual economic transactions.
2.2 Voucher Entry Process
Voucher entry is a key link in financial management. The entry personnel should accurately fill in the voucher number, date, summary, account, debit and credit amounts, etc., based on the information from the original vouchers (such as invoices, receipts, etc.). After entry is completed, verification and review should be conducted to ensure the accuracy and compliance of the vouchers.
2.3 Correction and Deletion of Vouchers
If there are errors in the entered accounting vouchers, corrections or deletions should be made according to the prescribed procedures. When correcting, the reason and basis for the correction should be noted, and it should be ensured that the corrected vouchers still comply with accounting standards and regulatory requirements. Deleting vouchers should be done cautiously, ensuring the security and traceability of related data.
III. Financial Statements and Analytical Tools
3.1 Preparation of Financial Statements
Enterprises should regularly prepare financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, to reflect the financial status, operating results, and cash flow situation of the enterprise. The preparation of financial statements should comply with relevant accounting standards and regulatory requirements to ensure the authenticity and fairness of the statements.
3.2 Application of Financial Analysis Tools
To better understand financial statement data and make informed decisions, enterprises can utilize financial analysis tools for data mining and trend forecasting. These tools include but are not limited to ratio analysis, trend analysis, and DuPont analysis, which help enterprises identify potential issues, assess operational performance, and formulate corresponding improvement measures.
