The accounting data entry process converts raw financial paperwork into structured business reports through four essential phases:
📁 Phase 1: Input & Gathering – Collect source documents like vendor invoices, bank statements, and customer receipts, ensuring every transaction has physical or digital proof.
🏷️ Phase 2: Categorisation – Match each transaction to its specific account code using the company's Chart of Accounts, determining which asset, liability, revenue, or expense is affected.
⌨️ Phase 3: Recording (Double-Entry) – Enter details (date, reference number, description) into an accounting system or spreadsheet, ensuring total Debits exactly equal total Credits.
🔍 Phase 4: Reconciliation & Reporting – Compare the entries against independent bank statements at month-end to fix errors, lock the period, and automatically generate the final financial statements.
