    Hi Tracey

     

    Thanks for your reply. I had the loan all set up correctly, etc. It's only because there are 3 accounts being used for the repayments, that we want to track, that was making it a little difficult. I got in contact with our accountant & he has said I am entering it all correctly. That's a relief!

Hi Kristelle 

 

Thanks for your post. I think you're missing a piece of the puzzle which is why it's gotten you confused. There's two sides to a loan, one being receiving the money and the repayments which are tracked using a liability account. The other side is what you spend the money on, typically this would be where an asset or expense account would come into play. 

 

Recording loans and repayments can be complex so I would recommend speaking to your accountant to make sure it's reported correctly.

 

Please let me know if you need further help.
