What sort of account would the 'intermediate' account be? It's not an
'income' because money from it doesn't go straight to the bank
account. I guess it could be called an Asset. In fact I suppose an
Asset account called 'Cash in Hand' would make some sense.
The reality is that I only count up the money every month or so, we
only have one service every two weeks, it's a very small community with a
dearth of people available to take services. The Church Warden bags
up the collections teken at the services and also the contents of the
offertory box. Then, at the end of the month, as and when I have
time, I unbag the money, add it all together to check the Church
Warden's sums (always correct!) and take it to the Post Office or bank
to deposit it.
What I want is a way to record in the 'Collections' and separate
'Offertory Box' income accounts the amounts for the collections
at services and from the offertory box. These all arrive in the bank
account as a single transaction.
It would be of type "asset". It would be used for the debit side of
transactions as received. The credit side would be some income account,
collections plate, offertory box, etc.Does the church warden note down
how much was from each source as he puts it into the bag?
Then when you finally get around to depositing into the bank account,
that would be a TRANSFER between two accounts both of type asset.
