![Page 15: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 17: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 18: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Folio Numbers for Source Documents
A cross-referencing code or folio number is included.
This code or folio number simply cross-references between one document and another.
![Page 19: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Folio Numbers for Supporting Documents
If the this transaction of $15,000 capital was made by issuing check number 38, then one could write “Ch-38” (for example) under the folio number.
![Page 20: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why include folio numbers?
To easily trace the recorded transaction back to the source document
To verify that the transaction actually took place.
![Page 21: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Folio Numbers for Accounts
Each specific account, such as bank, would have its own folio number
Used to cross reference from the journal entry involving “bank” to the bank’s account in the ledger ◦ This will be covered in the next section.
Make it simple to trace information through the steps in the accounting cycle.
![Page 22: Unit 4 The Accounting Cycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54807f605906b508298b4761/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cross-Referencing Accounts
“Sal-1” is the individual code for the account “salaries.” “J-1” is the code for “journal page 1.”
One could follow information from the journal entry to an account in the ledger, or from an account in the ledger back to the journal entries.

Cash Receipts Journals
Where you record all cash that has been received. Major categories of receipts, such as from income or
from debtors, receive their own column. The category called “sundry” is used to represent less
regular items, such as capital or receiving cash from a loan. ◦ The word sundry means “various,” “miscellaneous” or
“general.”
The “bank” column is added up to show the total cash received for the period concerned.

Cash Payments Journal
Where you record all transactions where cash has been paid out.

Cash Book & Petty Cash
The cash receipts journal and cash payments journal can be replaced by the cash book, which is simply a combination journal showing all receipts and all payments together.
Petty cash, which is simply a sum of cash on hand kept to pay small expenses, can also have its own separate journal.
