How do I record accrued income/distributions in Simple Fund 360?
Solution
Income that is accrued will be recorded through the Transaction List as a Journal. Select the income account 23800/INVESTCODE with the contra entry recorded to a receivable sub-account. Receivable accounts will be automatically created when the investment is added to the Chart of Accounts.
Please note
If the income is not recognised as income in the current year, Distribution/Dividend income should not be recorded using a 23800/23900 account. If the fund will not receive the cash payment in the current year, an investment reserve or another receivable account must be used.
Receivable Accounts
| Account | Name |
| 61800 | Distributions Receivable |
| 62000 | Dividends Receivable |
| 65000 | Interest Receivable |
