ASSESSMENT 2 -
This information is to be handed to outline the assessment requirements

For this assessment, Use your accounting system from Project 1 to follow 3 months of business transactions. This should be from the same business as Project 1. If you are using the example of Ed's Whitegoods, then you should use the information found in appendices 1-4, which states Ed's Business details and transactions from October 2013 - December 2013 Inclusive.

should use their accounting systems to do the following:
• Firstly, gather and organise any relevant data to be entered
• Use the general journal to make adjustments as required
• Double check the system by testing the data
• Any processing errors should be identified and corrected
• Record all items as listed in the accounting period, making adjustments and additions as required
• Ensure that the chart of accounts and the system is meeting the requirements of the organisation as detailed in Project 1

Finally, you are to perform a financial rollover using your accounting system. For students using the example of Ed's Whitegoods, your data concludes at the end of December 2013, hence you will need to perform a financial rollover into January 2014.
