Your company uses account numbers as well as account names in its chart of accounts. They also utilize sub-accounts on the profit and loss accounts. Parent accounts typically end with a “0” and sub-accounts are located in the next 9 digits. For example, 510 would be the parent account, and all accounts 511-519 would be sub-accounts of account 510. Transactions should be recorded to the sub-accounts with no transactions recorded directly to the parent account. Review the expense section of the profit and loss report below. Did your company follow these standards? If not, explain why not.
