Hi,
Just wondering what would be the best accounting entry for the following situation.
I am doing the books for a non profit local football club.
Registration fees are collected online through an agent.
The fees are paid by the player and then the online provider takes out a small commission/fee and then puts the rest into the clubs back account. Usually as a bulk payment of all fees made on a particular date.
For example:
Jo plays for the senior team. Jo pays $120 registration through Sportfees online. Sportsfees takes out $2 in fees. Fred plays for the junior team and pays $120 in registration. Sports fees takes out $2 in rego fees. Sports fees pays $236 into the clubs bank account.
I want to account for the fees that we are charged to show that the player has payed the full $120 rego fee. However I need to show the amount earned by each individual team do I can't do a bulk fee entry as I need to segregate the teams.
My first thought was:
DR Cash at Bank $236
CR Rego fees Senior $118
CR Rego Fees Senior $118
But I want to account for the fees that we are paying to truely reflect the expenses of the club. So would this work
DR Cash at Bank $236
DR Fee Expense $4
CR Rego fees Senior $120
CR Rego Fees Senior ($2) - A NEGATIVE ENTRY
CR Rego Fees Junior $120
CR Rego fees Junior ($2) - a negative entry
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
