Thanks. That's helpful.

They are using their own GL accounts which do not match well to the accountant's GL accounts and which do not segregate capital from regular expenses. And, they have a tendency to open up new accounts for very small amounts, like $15, while putting large, $11,000, 'one off' expenses in regular accounts--so all is rather confusing.

I had already requested on the next round of reports that they 'code' the invoice copies so I can see where the expenses went, and was thinking I just need to go down there and talk it through so we can agree on some basic principles of where things go and what amounts (large ones!) justify a new account or separation from regular accounts.

What's the 'pain' for management? The coding of invoices or the segregation of capital expenses? I'm not trying to be unreasonable, just trying to get a handle on what's happening and where the money's going so we can budget and plan.
