Accounting in CAMS

Understanding accounts reconciliation
Check that every ledger's balance is right by comparing its opening balance, debits, credits and closing balance before you report on the books.

Trace a wrong ledger balance to the entry that caused it, post the correction, and prove the balances agree again.

05
Importing transactions from a file
Import a file of transactions and follow the batch from spreadsheet rows to posted entries.
06
Check which financial year is open before you post or report
Find out which financial years your organisation has defined, and get the exact dates your postings and reports should sit inside.
07
Set up a cash or bank account so the Cash Book and reconciliation work
Create a cash or bank ledger and register it as a cash/bank account, so it reaches the Cash Book and can be reconciled.
08
Correct a transaction you posted in error
Correct a client transaction you posted by mistake, then prove the correction afterwards.
