Hi Kate.

Explain more about why you need to "close the account" Creditors will show an outstanding balance of £1000 but this account will balance when he pays the outstanding amount

Hi kate,

As mentioed above the account wont balance until the remainder is paid. Should this not have been paid when doing the accounts, it goes in as a credit balance in your trial balance. It will then be shown on your balance sheet. It is not an account that you can transfer to your profit and loss.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Lisa
