Foreword
This manual is intended to assist NASFAM member Smallholder Farmer
Associations to set up and maintain an association accounting system. As we will
discuss in the manual, proper bookkeeping and accounting must be a top priority of
all associations. The manual is designed to introduce the accounting system in a
simple and straightforward manner, and when possible should be used in
conjunction with the NASFAM Skills Development Unit Association Bookkeeping
Workshop. In using this manual please be aware that the manual is not an
exhaustive manual for association accounting, rather it puts the fundamental system
into place for immediate usage. With this in mind, association bookkeepers,
committees, and advisors should feel free to contact the NASFAM Accounting
and Auditing Unit with any questions or problems they may have. The system
is being implemented for the first time and therefore some minor adjustments and
additions will have to be made.
Please be aware that the system outlined in this manual is designed specifically for
usage by NASFAM member associations. It takes into account a Smallholder
Farmers Association’s particular accounting needs, with an eye on simplicity and
accuracy in use. The different members of NASFAM do in fact have different crops
and therefore marketing operations and therefore an accounting system will have to
adjust to their operation. Associations such as the Mulanje Associations will have to
adapt the system outlined in this manual for use with their association’s particular
needs. This exercise will be done in conjunction with the Accounting and Auditing
Unit and the Skills Development Unit.
This manual is one of many services that NASFAM offers member associations. I
hope associations find the manual of assistance in maintaining their accounts so that
NASFAM and area associations can continue to assist member farmers. Once
again, please feel free to submit any comments or question you or your association
may have regarding the manual or the system.

The Why and What of Association Bookkeeping
1.1 Why Bookkeeping? As anybody associated with an association can tell you, large amounts of money
flow through an association within a year. Associations handle millions of Kwacha
annually for the purpose of operating expenses, fertilizer programs, transport service
fees, etc. With such large quantities of cash, there are opportunities for loss of
money, mismanagement, theft, and a variety of other problems that ultimately
threaten the livelihood of the association.
Associations deal with smallholder farmer money, of which the farmer members
depend on for the livelihood of themselves and their families. To date association
accounts have been kept in an often informal manner, with areas for improvement in
receipting, accounts setup, financial reports, etc. Proper association bookkeeping
must be a first priority of associations and management as association move into
the future.
The purpose of bookkeeping is three fold:
� To maintain an accurate financial picture of the business, in such a way, that the state of its finances can be simply, clearly and accurately revealed at any time.
� To make it possible for the accuracy of the accounts to be quickly
checked, to avoid errors or fraud. � To serve as a management tool by providing the information required
for decision making and for planning future activities.
Remember that the member farmers are also the owners of the association. They
need to know how their business is doing and how their funds are being used.
Members elect a committee to direct and control the affairs of their business and a
manager is appointed to run the day to day operations. The committee and the
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 1
manager need information that is complete, accurate, and up to date on the
operations of the association to be able to make decisions. The bookkeeping system
in use must therefore show:
How much the association owns. These are its assets and show the use being made of these funds.
How much the association owes. These are its liabilities and indicate the
source of the funds in use in the association.
Whether the association has financial stability and is able to pay its debts as they arise
Whether the association is operating efficiently covering its costs and
providing a net surplus
1.2 What is Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the process of recording all business transactions. Transactions
involve the exchange of goods and services at a stated price, and therefore an
exchange of money. Stated differently:
Bookkeeping is concerned with correctly entering permanent written
records of financial transactions into the books of account of the
association.
A financial transaction arises in the course of the business when there
is a transfer of money or something having a money value.
1.3 What is the job of the bookkeeper?
The bookkeeper in an association will most often be the association manager, or
perhaps another member of the association staff for larger association. The work of
the bookkeeper is very important and therefore a qualified individual must be in
charge of the duty. Some of the qualities of a good bookkeeper are: 1. Attention to detail and accuracy
2. Mathematical knowledge
3. Knowledge of calculator use Guide To Association Bookkeeping 2
4. Basic accounting knowledge
5. Trustworthy and stable
The bookkeeper has a large responsibility and therefore must be up to the job at
hand. The work of the bookkeeper includes:
Keeping complete and accurate re cords of every financial transaction in which the association is involved.
Checking the accuracy of these records at regular intervals.
Preparing final accounts and a balance sheet at the end of every financial
year, ready for audit and later consideration by the committee and the members.
Preparing reports for the manager and the committee on the financial position
of the association during the financial year.
NOTE: A committee member should not be the bookkeeper that is not their role in the association. We will look later at what their role should be.
1.4 Auditors: An auditor is a skilled accountant whose responsibility it is to check and verify the
accounts of the association at the end of the financial year and at any other time as
NASFAM may consider necessary. The auditor is independent of the association
and reports to the association committee, members, and NASFAM. NASFAM
provides an auditor to area associations as a service that is included in the
association’s yearly membership fees. The NASFAM auditor will make regular
checks of the association accounts, and will assist the association in completing
year-end reports and preparing for annual general meetings. An auditor is there to
assure that accounts are kept accurately and that ‘honest people remain honest’ as
well as to educate the association and the bookkeeper about correct procedures and
to correct any mistakes they may be making.
1.5 Internal Checker: An Internal Checker is appointed by the association to conduct regular checks for the
members on the books, assets, and activities of the association. Whereas an auditor
will do an in depth look at the accuracy of the accounts, the Internal Checker will
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 3
complete a quick regularly scheduled check of the accounts to assure that basic
policy is being followed. The Internal Checker can do a simple cash count to make
sure the cash in the cash box is equal to that in the cash account, as well as
assuring that all receipts have been entered into the accounts. The association
committee should decide the role the internal checker will play, and exactly what
procedures they will follow. After completing regular check the Internal Checker will
report to the committee, and membership. If any suspected anomalies are found,
the matter should be referred immediately to the NASFAM Auditor.

Accounting Basics
2.1 Accounting Terms
Records of Original Entry: Records of Original Entry as the name implies are the initial documents upon which
a transaction is recorded, and are completed immediately when a financial
transaction occurs. These documents will become the source of future ledger
entries, and therefore they must be completed with great care. At present records
of original entry can be bought at a local stationery stores. NASFAM will look into
purchasing specially printed receipts for associations in the near future. Some
examples of records of original entry are:
-Receipts and Payment Vouchers
-Invoices
-Cheque books, bank deposit and withdrawal books
-Cash sale receipts
All unused receipts must be kept securely in the association cash box, or
another secure place.
Assets:
They are what the association owns, any good or service that can be given a money
value is called an asset. Some examples of assets are:
Cash- Currency, checks, bank drafts.
Accounts Receivable- Money due from association members for merchandise, entrance fees, etc.
Merchandise- Goods produced or bought by the association for sale.
Equipment- Articles expected to last for a period of years, that assist in the
operations of the associations. Guide To Association Bookkeeping 5
Fixed Assets- Those assets which are held for an extended period of time
(land, buildings, equipment, etc.)
Prepaid expenses- Those expenses that have been paid in advance. Such as rent paid in advance for the year.
Liabilities:
Shows what the association owes. They include items such as overdue rent,
overdue transport payments, loans, etc. Liabilities are often recorded as an account
payable.
Account:
A record containing details for a transaction for a specific item (Assets, capital,
liabilities) Some accounts that association will keep are: Cash Account Membership Fees Account Expense/Petty Cash
Account
Bank Account Retail Sales Account Receivables Account
Input Sales Account Service Fees/Revenue Account Etc.
Ledger:
A ledger is a book in which accounts are entered. The ledger is ruled to include all
details of the transaction. The association accounting system will contain accounts
in sub-ledgers and the general ledger. The ledgers will be examined in detail in the
next section.
An account ledger looks like this:

Most accounts have a column to put the date, details of the transaction, a debit and
a credit column, and finally the balance of the account. We will look at the account in
more detail further in the manual.
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 6
Other Terms:
Many more terms will be introduced throughout the manual. These are the key
terms to be familiar with now.
2.2 The Double Entry System: In every financial transaction there are two parts. There is the imparting (giving) of
the benefit transferred, and there is the receiving of this benefit. This imparting and
receiving take place between the accounts in the books of the associations. The
double entry system of bookkeeping is used to record this transfer between the
imparting account and the receiving account.
In this system, details for the money or money value of the benefit transferred are
recorded twice into the accounts for the association. The account which imparts or
provides is credited (CR) and the account which receives is debited (DR). For every
credit entry there must be a corresponding debit entry and, vice versa, for every
debit entry there must be a corresponding credit entry.
When there has been corresponding postings made into the books of account they
will balance, with the debits equaling the credits.

other corresponding entry. In sections III and IV the double entry
system and the correct entries to accounts will be explained in
detail.

Introduction to the Smallholder Association Accounting System
The association accounting system consists of sub-ledgers and the general ledger.
The various accounts that have been previously mentioned are contained in these
ledgers. The ledgers are arranged as follows:

Sub-Ledger Identification # The general ledger is very important because it contains information related to the financial position of the association. Within the General Ledger can be found the following:
Cash Account
Bank Account
Analysis of transactions
3.1.1 The Cash Account:
(a) Cash
Cash must be handled with the utmost care and whenever possible only one person
should be responsible for receiving and paying all cash. At all times cash other than
that which is in use in the cash till must be placed in a secure cash box. The cash
box must be kept locked and only the person so instructed by the committee should
hold the key.
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 13
The cash in hand should be checked from time to time by the committee and
the internal checker appointed by the members. The NASFAM Auditor will also
check the balance on visits to the association. Apart from petty cash, or other
cash held to make expected payments, all cash received should be banked at
the end of every day in its entirety.
Although it is easy to say that cash should be banked daily Smallholder Associations
must address the fact that they may operate in areas where banking facilities are not
readily available. Therefore a banking policy should be developed by the
association, a sample policy would be ‘Once cash box receipts reach K10,000, the
receipts must be banked in their entirety on the next working day’. So if the
Nkhamanga Association receives receipts of K11,230 on Friday, the association
manager must schedule a trip to Mzuzu to bank the cash on the following Monday.
Will this policy work? What policy should NASFAM and local committee set?
(b) Cheques Received:
For bookkeeping purposes all cheques received by the association are treated as
cash. Cheques should only be accepted if the person writing the cheque is known to
be in good financial standing (100% sure that the money is available in the bank). If
the person may not be in good financial standing the association should demand a
cash payment, up front deposit, etc. Generally, post-dated cheques (those with a
date in the future) should not be accepted.
(c) Receipt Of Cash and Proper Receipting:
A receipt must be issued whenever cash is received. A receipt must show: 1. Receipt #
2. Name of association
3. Name of person paying the cash
4. Purpose for which cash received
5. Date cash received
7. Signature of person receiving the cash
8. Page # posted to in ledger
Usually the receipt is made out in duplicate using a carbon paper. The top copy is
issued to the person paying the cash. The bottom copy is kept by the association as
the record of original entry from which the ledger will be posted. The entry is made
into the ledger recording the following items:
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 14
Date.….. Money received
Detail..... Taken from receipt book, Enter sub ledger code and entry #
Ref#.….. Receipt #
Debit..... Cash account with amount received
Credit..... Imparting account
(d) Payment of Cash And Proper Receipting: Any payment of cash by the
association to another party must be accompanied by the association receiving a
receipt. For all expenses such as an association fertilizer purchase a payment
voucher (See Section IV) must be prepared and attached to the receipt. On all
receipts or payment vouchers, the person receiving the cash from the association
will sign their name. From the receipt, or payments voucher, which forms the record
or original entry, the ledgers are posted as follows:
Date..... Paid
Detail..... From receipt or voucher obtained
Ref no..... Receipt or voucher number
Debit..... Receiving account ie bank, expenses or other receiving account with amount paid. Credit..... Cash account with amount paid
Note: This is only for large expenses being paid from the Cash Account. As
we will examine in (3.1.2) most large expenses will be paid from the bank account using a cheque and the petty cash system (3.2) will be used for the payment of all smaller expenses.
Remember:
If cash is being received a debit (dr) should be entered with the amount.
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 15
If cash is being paid out a credit (cr) should be entered with the amount.
3.1.2 The Bank Account
(a) Current account (Same as Checking Account)
Most associations have already opened a current account at their nearest bank in
following with the by laws of the association. The bank will issue deposit slips,
withdrawal forms, and a cheque book to the association. As associations process
larger and larger amounts of money, there is a need that purchases, such as those
for inputs, be issued on association cheques, not through cash or by means of a
third party cheque book. The committee when opening the account should inform
the bank officers of those people authorized to sign cheques and withdrawal slips,
and the bank will take specimen signatures from these officers. The cheque book
must be kept secure in the association cash box at all times. The person
appointed to handle the cash of the association will make the deposits to this current
account at the bank. If an association does not have a current account, they
should do so immediately.
(b) Savings Accounts
Associations may open a savings account with a local bank if they are able to tightly
control the cash flow requirements of the association. Savings accounts offer
associations interest payments for keeping the money with their bank but
withdrawals tend to be much more difficult. Instead of payments being made with a
simple cheque, the association signatories must all travel to the bank to withdrawal
cash or a money order. Such a procedure is costly to the association and is difficult
to control. Therefore associations should only have cash in a savings account if they
are sure that the money will not be needed for an extended period of time (say six
months), at which point they can transfer it to the current account.
(c) Bank Deposits
Pages in the bank deposit book should be processed at the bank and the association
copy retained. From these records of original entry, entries will be made into the
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 16
ledgers.
Date.... Deposit taken to bank
Detail..... From the paying in slip, stamped and receipted by the bank
Ref no..... Number of paying in slips
Debit..... Bank with amount deposited
Credit..... Cash with amount deposited
(c) Bank Payments
If possible all non petty cash payments should be made using an association
cheque. The bookkeeper will present the association committee with a payment
voucher and payment invoice for expense between the current committee meeting
and the meeting for the following month. The manager should make out the
cheques, and the officers of the association authorized to sign the cheques should
only do so after they have compared the cheques with the bills for payment. The
cheques are then submitted to the creditors concerned, and a receipt must be
issued. The receipt is then attached to the payment voucher and retained by the
association. The ledgers are then posted from the receipts and cheque book stubs.
Date..... Date of cheques as shown in the stub retained in the cheque
book
Detail..... Name of the creditor (payee) from the stub, Cheque #
Ref No..... Receipt # for goods/services
Debit..... Payee, creditor or other receiving account with amount of
cheque
Credit..... Bank- with amount of cheque
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 17
If a deposit is being made to the bank account a debit (dr) should be
entered with the amount.
If a withdrawal or a payment is being made by check from the bank account a credit (cr) should be entered with the amount.
3.1.3 Analysis
This section of the General ledger allows the association to chart and analyze
transactions. As can be seen, each sub-ledger account is represented in the
analysis section. As entries are written in the general ledger to the cash or bank
account a corresponding entry should be made to the analysis section under the
appropriate heading. To denote whether a credit or a debit is being made to the
account a small (DR) or (CR) should be entered above or to the left of the amount
being entered to the column (See the example below). We will look at the analysis
section in use in section IV and V.
3.1.4 Note On Entries To the General Ledger
If every transaction had to be written two times in its entirety it would be a lot of work
for the bookkeeper. To make the workload on the bookkeeper lighter, and to save
paper, entries into the general ledger are made as a summary of each sub-ledger,
not as single transactions. Every day the bookkeeper will first make entries into
each sub-ledger from the days transactions, he or she will then summarize each
sub-ledger to the general ledger through a single entry that lists the Sub-Ledger and
the entry numbers. Therefore the number of general ledger entries will equal the
number of sub-ledgers that had a transaction recorded to them. (See our example
at the beginning of the section.)

As associations grow in size, it is necessary to implement the usage of a petty cash
system. A petty cash system allows for small expense to be paid from the petty cash
account instead of the Cash Account or the Bank Account. Such a system also
allows the association to analyze the types of expense incurred over the course of a
month, or other period of time.
The advantage of a petty cash system is:
• The work of making numerous small expenses could be made by someone other that the bookkeeper, such as the clerk. Maintaining petty cash can be a large job, therefore the association should carefully access whether a clerk is qualified before handing over this task. In most associations the manager should retain this task of keeping the association petty cash (Not to be confused with SADP petty cash).
• The number of entries into the general ledger is significantly reduced. Instead
of posting every expense to the general ledger, posting only needs to be done one or two times per month.
• It follows the amount budgeted for the monthly petty cash expenses and
therefore allows for the expenses of the month to be both controlled and analyzed.
Association bookkeepers use a system called the imprest system to keep the petty
cash account. Each month an amount will be given to the person keeping petty cash
to meet the expense needs of the month. The person keeping petty cash will then
pay out from this money the expenses of the month. At the end of the month the
petty cashier totals the amount spent from the petty cash and this exact amount will
be taken from the cash account and transferred to petty cash, leaving the petty
cashier with the same amount that he or she originally started with. If the need
increases for the month another transaction will also be made to address this. This
system will be looked at in more detail in Section IV and V.
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 20
Date..... The date of receipt of float to the petty cash, or of expenses paid from petty cash.
Item..... Details of payment, program code, person paying out to Debit..... Money transferred from the cash account to the petty cash account is
debited for the amount to transfer. Credit..... Expenses paid with petty cash are credited for the amount of the expense Analysis..... Expenses paid with petty cash are also recorded in the appropriate column
to denote what the expense was paid for. Proper Petty Cash Receipting: Just as with any other payment of an expense, a proper receipt must be obtained for
any petty cash transaction. If a receipt cannot be obtained then a receipt should be
written from the association petty cash receipt book (See Section IV) and signed by
the person receiving payment. For those expenses that have been paid using a
Cash Request Form (See Section IV), once a receipt has been obtained it should be
submitted to the bookkeeper so that they may attach it to the request form and file it.
If a receipt cannot be obtained, the cash request form can be used as a receipt only
for expenses less than K100 (Mini Bus fare is an example).
Here is a quick reference table to help in proper documentation of expenses: Transaction

3.3.1 Service Fee / Revenue Sub-Ledger: This account keeps a record of all
service fees obtained by the association for a variety of programs such as transport,
hessian cloth, retail sales, green pac sales, input programs, etc. Service fees are
transferred to the service fee account at the end of a particular program from the
specific program Sub-Ledger.

Credit..... All sales paid in cash will be credited for the total amount of the order
3.3.4 Retail Sales With Analysis Sub-Ledger: This account records the sales of
various items by the association (bailing paper, hoes, plastic, etc.). Daily
sales receipts are entered into the Sub-Ledger daily. By also making an entry
under the analysis column under the appropriate item sold, the association is
able to analyze the sales of particular items. This system is appropriate only
for sales made on an informal basis. When association open retail supply
shops, an accounting system will have to be designed specifically for that
purpose.

3.3.5 Accounts Receivable Sub-Ledger: This account shows the amount of
money that an outside party or a member owes the association. If a member
has only paid part of the membership fee, or an input supplier is to pay a
rebate or levy, these items are called accounts receivable. Although they
have not yet been received by the association they can be included as assets.

3.4 Ledger And Program Identification Numbers
In order to ease the job of the bookkeeper, as well as to keep close track of all
transactions, each account and program should be given a code number. As will be
seen in Section V, the ledger codes will be used for making entries into the main
ledger, and the program codes used for tracking expenses in the petty cash/expense
ledger. We can look at the entry made in page #12 to see how the codes are used
in making entries to the general ledger and petty cash ledger. The following are
ledger and program codes that can be used in preparing the accounts:
Ledger Codes 01 Petty Cash/Expense Ledger 02 Club Registration 03 Hessian Collection 04 Fertilizer Procurement 05 Retail Sales 06 Retail Sales Petty Cash 07 Service Fee/Revenue 08 Accounts Receivable 09 Doantions 10 NASFAM Dues 11 Accounts Payable Program Codes- For tracking petty cash expenses 21 General Operational 22 Fertilizer Procurement 23 Hessian Collection 24 Retail Sales 25 Transport Program 26 Training Programs 27 Other Crop Programs 28
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 27
Supporting Documents
A comprehensive accounting system must have a series of documents used to
support the entries into the accounts. Supporting documents such as receipts,
delivery invoices, cash count forms, etc., leave a paper trail so that all transactions
can be tracked to their inception. It must be noted that supporting documents are as
important as entries into the accounts, and therefore it is a requirement that they be
used, and stored for an appropriate amount of time. This is a quick list of supporting
documents and their usage, the documents will be examined more closely and put to
use in Section V. Association Accounting System In Use.
4.1 Receipts
(a) Sales Receipts
Sales receipts record transactions between the association and members. As we
examined in Section II, every transaction that the association carries out involving
cash must include the production of a receipt. If cash is paid by a member for
fertilizer, a receipt must be drawn with the details of that transaction.
Sample Receipt:

of purchase per item should be recorded to the left hand side • Total cash received • Signature of person receiving cash/cheque • Write Paid In Full And Date upon full payment • Entry # to Sub-Ledger and date posted **A separate receipt book should be used for each different program. (b) Payment Receipts As we examined in Section III, every payment of an expense must be accompanied
by a receipt. For most expenses the person receiving payment will issue a receipt
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 31
for the goods or services provided. If the person cannot furnish a receipt a receipt
must be written from the Petty Cash Receipt Book. An example of where the Petty
Cash Receipt Book would be used is in the payment of monthly staff salaries.

has received the goods. Upon receipt of the goods the member signs to indicate
that they have received the amount written on the delivery invoice. The delivery
invoice therefore shows exactly who received the goods and on what day. Such a
system avoids members coming with complaints that they have not received goods Guide To Association Bookkeeping 32
(hessian, fertilizer, etc.) Since the delivery invoice can be referred to, and the
member shown the name of the person receiving their goods.

4.3 Cash Or Cheque Payment Voucher
A payment voucher is a document that accompanies the payment of large expenses
or purchases. The voucher is useful for two reasons; it provides a back up to the
receipt issued by the person receiving payment, and it requires authorization by the
appropriate parties before a cheque or cash can be issued. All expenses paid
from the cash account and any petty cash expense over K500 should be
accompanied by a payment voucher. After payment is issued the receipt
should be stapled to the back of the voucher and placed in the appropriate file.

4.4 Cash Request Form
The cash request form is used by individuals within the association (committee
members, manager) to request for petty cash funds to carry out operations related to
the running of the association. The cash request form serves as an authorization
form as well as a tentative receipt until the person requesting cash furnishes one.
Only requests for petty cash that have been pre-approved at the last committee
meeting should be granted. Any emergency request granted must be reviewed at
the following committee meeting. Cash request forms will be kept by the person
responsible for petty cash, and should be used for small expenses only. After the
person requesting cash has paid the expense, they must furnish a receipt for
the amount used and return any change left from the transaction.

which time the receipt is attached to the back of the cash request form and stored in
the appropriate place.
**The association committee should decide on standard expenses for various
association activities in advance. For example, how much should a member get for
transport from a location and back, and how much for lunch, etc..
4.5 Association Cash Count Form The cash count form is used by the bookkeeper and committee to keep an exact
record of cash in the cash box, or in the petty cash. The cash count should be
recorded periodically (perhaps one time per week) and done at the end of every
month. A cash count allows for a quick audit of the accounts, to show that the cash
in the cash box equals exactly the amount in the books. The cash count should
always be witnessed by another person other that the bookkeeper.

check the accuracy of bank statements association accounts. Upon receipt of a
bank statement, the balance is checked against the association Bank Account
Balance to confirm that they equal each other. If they are not equaling, then the
association committee should look into the issue further and possibly call for the
assistance of the NASFAM Auditor.

statement for a long period of time (say 1 month) should be referred to the bank for
clarification.
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 39
The Association Accounting System In Use
5.1 What does the association need to start the system?
Before setting up a new accounting system for the association, the association will
first need to purchase some basic items for the bookkeeper. The expense
associated with purchasing these items is minimal in comparison to the importance
of the items. The following items are needed per association: � Calculator
� Cash Box
� Accounting Ledger, 32 column preferable (1)
� Hard cover notebooks (7-10)
� Receipt Books-1/major program, registration fees, petty cash
(6-7)
� Support Documents (Master copy to be supplied)
� Ruler, Paper Punch, Stapler, Pens, File Folders
5.2 Preparing the accounts to begin bookkeeping
Now that the necessary items have been purchased, the books must be put in a
format suitable for the association accounting system. Preparing the books will take
some time, and needs to be done carefully with attention to detail. A ruler and a
good pen should be used to rule all ledgers to give the accounts a professional look.
To set up the account to begin bookkeeping, the bookkeeper should:
1. Rule several pages of the main ledger using the sample page at the back of this manual. Label the outside of the book and the spine as MAIN LEDGER- Mulanje Smallholder Farmers Association & Address.
2. Rule several pages of a hard cover notebook as a petty cash/expense ledger
using the sample page given at the back of this manual. Label the outside of the book and the spine as Petty Cash/Expense Ledger- Mulanje Smallholder Farmers Association & Address.
3. Rule several pages of a hard cover notebook as the other necessary sub-
ledgers using the sample page given at the back of this manual. For the less Guide To Association Bookkeeping 42
used Sub-Ledgers combine them into one hard cover book. Label the outside of the book and the spine as Service Fees Sub-Ledger- Mulanje Smallholder Farmers Association & Address. The Sub-Ledger should be prepared as follows (The ledgers may differ for non-tobacco associations):
Use (5) hard cover books total � Input Program Ledger
� Hessian Collection Program Ledger
� Service Fees Ledger and Donations Ledger
� Retail Sales ledger
� Accounts Receivable Ledger and Accounts Payable Ledger
� Petty Cash Ledger
4. Label receipt books with the program they will be used for. The books should
be arranged and labeled as follows:
� Petty Cash-Henga Valley Smallholder Farmers Association
� Fertilizer Sales- Henga Valley Smallholder Farmers Association
� Membership Dues- Henga Valley Smallholder Farmers Association
� Retail Sales- Henga Valley Smallholder Farmers Association
� Hessian Collection- Henga Valley Smallholder Farmer
� Etc..
**Remember a separate receipt book should be used for each of the above programs, receipts from different programs should not be combined in the same book.
5.3 When to make entries into the accounts
As we know, smallholder associations do not have the resources to hire a full time
bookkeeper to keep the association accounts. Therefore, the association will usually
ask the manager to act as the manager and the bookkeeper. The manager’s job is
very busy and he or she does not have time to concentrate only on the books each
day. The manager must therefore set aside a certain amount of time each day to
compile the accounts. A recommended practice is that the manager close the office
at 3:30 or 4:00 each day to sit down and complete the entries of the day. Here is a
sample of how the books are kept from transaction to entry into the books:
1. 10:30 in the morning a farmer comes in to complete a transaction (Example- Purchase Bailing Paper)
Guide To Association Bookkeeping 43
2. The manager or clerk writes a receipt for the purchase of bailing paper. 3. The manager or clerk then receives the cash for the bailing paper order
signing on the receipt to show that they have received it. 4. The manager places the cash in a secure place (till, cash box) separate from
the other cash. For very large receipts the receipts should be banked immediately. As discussed in Section II this may not be possible for all associations, therefore follow the policy set forth by the association regarding when to bank receipts.
5. 3:45 the manager closes the office, takes all the receipts of the day and
enters them first into the appropriate sub-ledgers, and then all Sub-Ledger transactions are entered into the main ledger. This will be covered further later in the section.
5.4 Making Primary Entries
The following examples are a comprehensive look at the entries that will be made
into the books each day for different programs, and for different types of
transactions. These transactions have been called primary entries, in that they are
the entries that will be made into the accounts at the end of each day. At the end of
Section VI we will also look at the entries that need to be made at the end of each
month, and the reports to be completed each month.
5.4.1 Membership Fee Transactions
(a) Receipt of full membership/entrance fee payment Example: The association membership fee is K500 per year. Mr. R.

amount. The other entries we make show us why this is so.
�Some associations do not allow clubs who have not paid their dues in full to obtain any services. In its financial policies, an association can decide whether or not to receive payments in installments from clubs (Assuming that no services will be rendered until full payment received.)
