Q.
Why was it not entered up ?
76530
A.
It is my own business. Sometimes the accountant, if
he
has time, he posts up the book. If he has not, he
doesnt.

A.
Why has the accountant time enough to write up the
cash book, when he has no time to write up the ledger
The entries are made into the rough cash book every
day. He makes the entries as the business goes on,
and he has time.

Is the ledger not posted at all, Mr Lau ?
Only for one or two months.
For that year, 1904. Have you posted your books for
1905 ?

I will tell you about it. They may have been, and they
may not have been.
Well, he is the master of the shop, and yet he sayɑ he 7658
is not sure that his cash ledger for 1905 is posted or
not.
I will tell you about it. I see the accounts during
the course of the day. If I have a transaction of $100,
then $70 is paid out say, and then the Accountant gives
me the $30, and I look it up. Then what amount of money
is in hand, I put it by.
That is no explanation. In that case, he need not keep 165ą
any books at all. Why is this rough cash book kept ↑
I dont know. Ever since we have started business, we
have not made up the accounts.
Dont you make them up every China New Year, to show how %boi
